SolarEdge Home Battery 400V (BAT-10K1P)
The 400V battery’s DC power and efficiency are not a like-for-like comparison with an AC-coupled all-in-one system. The matching SolarEdge inverter and any backup interface are separate choices.
Research from manufacturer documents, not a hands-on test. Values and missing details are kept separate below.
- Home Battery 400V (DC)
- Compatible SolarEdge inverter
- Household AC
What matters on your quote
Compare the complete installed system. The published peak round-trip figure is a DC-coupled claim; do not enter it as a measured whole-house AC efficiency.
- The continuous battery-output figure must not be mistaken for a guaranteed AC rating at your meter.
At a glance
| Usable capacity | 9.7 kWh (9700 Wh at 100% depth of discharge) |
|---|---|
| Continuous / rated power (original units and basis) | 5 kW (5000 W) |
| Peak power | 7.5 kW for 10 seconds, in backup |
| Round-trip efficiency | 94.5% (peak) |
| Warranty (years) | 10 years |
| Coupling | DC-coupled (shares a SolarEdge inverter with the panels) |
| Expandable to | Up to 3 batteries per inverter |
| Backup power | Only with the SolarEdge Home Hub Inverter – Single Phase and the Home Backup Interface |

Ask the installer before you sign
- Is the usable capacity on the quote the figure above, or a nominal one?
- Can it charge fast enough to fill in your cheap window? Charging power × hours of the window is the most it can take in.
- Is any equipment needed for backup in a power cut included in the price?
- Does it work alongside your current solar inverter, or replace it?
- Which warranty conditions apply in the UK, and what do you have to do to keep them?
Will it pay back for you?
Opens the calculator with this battery’s usable capacity filled in. Add your own installed price and tariff. If the datasheet does not state a round-trip efficiency, use your installer’s figure.
