AI Saving 3.0 — higher returns for every kWh

SAJ frames this as the money-maker: its AI energy management system automatically optimizes generation, storage and consumption by combining weather data and electricity rates.

SAJ promotes concrete figures — 90% solar-prediction accuracy, 90% consumption-forecast accuracy, 100+ dynamic-tariff integrations and 'VPP Ready' — and positions it for multi-scenario use (peak shaving, EV charging, VPP, temporary scheduling).
Powered by SAJ's elekeeper 5.0 (AI Keeper energy manager + AI Care health guardian) and the AI Designer plant-design platform.

Every figure comes straight from the manufacturer's official datasheet.

Availability & compliance 1

Yes. SAJ's EU datasheet for the single-phase EK90 HS5 confirms German grid compliance and lists a full certification set.

  • Grid codes: VDE-AR-N 4105 and VDE 0126-1-1 (the German low-voltage grid-connection rules)
  • Additional standards: EN 62109-1/2, EN 50438, EN 50549, IEC 62116 and IEC 61727
  • Battery side: UL 9540A and UL 9540B certification with a 9-layer protection concept; IEC 62619 is not named on the current EU datasheet, so do not quote it
  • Launch context: SAJ showcased the EK90 HS5 at The smarter E / Intersolar Europe 2026 in Munich, with launch messaging putting the single-phase unit first and German market availability indicated from October 2026 (TaiyangNews live report: https://taiyangnews.info/technology/liveblog-taiyangnews-live-from-the-smarter-e-intersolar-europe-2026)

Confirm the current certificate revision and exact delivery timeline when you request a quote; registration in the Marktstammdatenregister is the standard regulatory step for grid-tied storage in Germany.

Configuration 3

The single-phase ladder covers 5 kW to 10 kW, but check the DSO limit before specifying the top of the range for Germany.

  • Sizes: 5 kW (4,999 W), 6 kW (plus a 5,750 W Ireland "-IE" variant), 8 kW and 10 kW (9,999 W)
  • Naming note: SAJ's own documents designate the 10 kW unit EK90 HS5-10K-S4-X, which has 4 MPP trackers instead of 3
  • Germany planning caveat: distribution network operators limit unbalanced single-phase feed-in under the VDE-AR-N 4105 regime, typically to 4.6 kVA per phase, so the 8 kW and 10 kW single-phase units are aimed at markets and sites where a high-power single-phase connection is permitted
  • Alternative: clarify with the DSO before specifying, or use the three-phase EK90 HS5 T3 line (8-20 kW) instead
  • Electrical spec: 220/230/240 V, 50/60 Hz, L+N+PE

Up to 6 stackable EK90 BU5 packs per system, giving configurable capacities from 6 kWh to 54 kWh.

  • Pack sizes: 6 / 7 / 9 kWh (LiFePO4, 314 Ah cells, 100% depth of discharge, usable = total energy)
  • System voltage window: 300-600 V on the single-phase models
  • Independent modules: each pack has its own built-in DC-DC optimizer for fully independent charge/discharge, what SAJ calls "eliminating the wooden-barrel effect," which is what allows adding packs later without the stack being dragged down by the weakest module
  • Wiring: packs connect blind-mate, no inter-module cabling

For a specific mixed-size combination, confirm against SAJ's battery-combination datasheet.

Backup (EPS) output on the EK90 HS5-5K-S3-X is 5000 VA continuous with no separate backup box required.

  • Peak rating: 10,000 VA for 10 s, for motor/compressor start-up
  • Switchover time: ≤10 ms
  • Built-in bypass: a 63 A bypass (current configurable in the elekeeper App) covers whole-house backup, so no separate retrofit box is required
  • Whole-home topology: SAJ's manual also describes a Lazzen NDQ2S-63/1P manual transfer switch (63 A/230 V) and a partial-backup wiring option where only selected circuits sit on the backup output
  • RCD: the inverter integrates an RCMU, so an external on-grid RCD is optional; where local rules require one, use a type A RCD of 30 mA or higher

Note: SAJ's EU datasheet and manual both state 63 A for the single-phase bypass.

Operation & warranty 2

Treat it as a roadmap feature, not a shipping spec.

  • Design intent: the HS5 is built around a bidirectional DC EV-charging module SAJ positions as an "EV-Home-Grid energy bridge" (V2H/V2G)
  • Current status: the single-phase EU datasheet explicitly footnotes the EVDC V2H & V2G capability as "currently under development and coming soon", with no DC charging power rating (kW) published
  • Guidance: do not quote a specific EV-charging output; if a project depends on bidirectional DC EV charging, confirm availability, part number and power rating with SAJ before committing, request a quote

Warranty

  • The EU datasheet and user manual state "refer to the warranty policy"; no capacity-retention figure is published for this model, so quote warranty terms from SAJ's warranty document rather than a number
  • SAJ's HS5 product page headlines a 15-year warranty on the battery concept with the 314 Ah cell
  • The manual rates the cells at 10,000 cycles (battery-manufacturer figure, 25±2°C) while the datasheet promotes 12,000 cycles under lab conditions (0.2C, to 60% SOH)

Monitoring

  • Monitoring and commissioning run through the elekeeper App (3-step initialization, One-Click Self-diagnosis with meter & CT phase auto-adjustment)
  • Communication via an eSolar AIO3 Pro or eSolar 4G Pro module
  • Metering uses the wiring-free dual-channel Wireless-pro LoRa meter (optimal 150 m through walls), with wired RS485 meter connections supported as a fallback
