Solar Inverters for Sierra Leone
Solar inverters are the control center of a solar power system. They convert solar and battery power into usable AC electricity for homes, shops, offices, clinics, schools, and small businesses.
Sun Energy supplies off-grid and hybrid inverter options for Sierra Leone projects where grid power is unstable, diesel fuel is expensive, or the site needs power at night.
Product Range
| Power range | Suggested English name | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| 5kW / 5.6kW | Small hybrid solar inverter | Homes, shops, small offices |
| 5kW-6.2kW | Off-grid hybrid solar inverter | Homes, stores, clinics, small backup systems |
| 8kW / 10kW | Higher-power hybrid solar inverter | Small business, school, clinic, multi-room loads |

Why Hybrid Inverters Matter Locally
Many Sierra Leone sites do not need solar panels alone. They need a system that can manage solar, batteries, grid power, and sometimes a diesel generator.
A hybrid/off-grid inverter helps:
- use solar power during the day;
- charge batteries for night and power cuts;
- accept grid input when available;
- work with generator backup when needed;
- protect appliances with stable pure sine wave output.
Common System Designs
| Site type | Inverter range | Battery use | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home or small shop | 5kW / 5.6kW | 5kWh-10kWh typical | Lights, fans, TV, fridge, POS, phone charging |
| Clinic or school | 5kW-10kW | 10kWh-30kWh typical | Lighting, medical fridge, computers, internet |
| Small business | 8kW / 10kW | 10kWh-40kWh typical | Freezers, office equipment, small pumps, backup loads |
| Off-grid site | 5kW-10kW | Sized by night load | May include generator input |
How to Size the Inverter
The inverter should not be chosen only by price. It must match:
- The highest running load.
- Starting loads such as pumps, fridges, compressors, or AC units.
- Battery voltage and battery communication.
- Solar array size and PV input limits.
- Whether the site needs grid or generator input.
