Mova LumeGret S5000: Home Battery With EV Charging Control
Mova has introduced the LumeGret S5000, a residential energy storage system that brings together rooftop solar input, battery storage, household consumption and electric vehicle charging. The unit includes an inverter with four MPPT channels and accepts up to 4.8 kW of combined solar input. Its PV input range is 13 V to 48 V, with a maximum input voltage of 60 V and a 15 V startup voltage.
Storage options
The S5000 works with two lithium iron phosphate battery modules: the B3000G at 3 kWh and the B5000G at 5 kWh. According to the manufacturer, systems can be expanded to 15 kWh or 25 kWh. The modules are rated for at least 10,000 cycles under specified test conditions and include self-heating and aerosol fire-extinguishing features. Mova lists an operating range of -20 C to 55 C, IP65 protection, a 10-year warranty and a 20-year design lifespan.
Power and EV charging
Grid-connected AC output is 800 W by default, configurable up to 3 kW. Off-grid output reaches up to 3 kW, with a 3.6 kW bypass rating. The optional LumeGret E7000 charger can charge an EV at up to 7 kW when enough power is available. In off-grid operation, EV charging output is up to 3 kW; in grid-connected operation, bypass capacity is up to 6.6 kW.
Charging can be managed through the Movahome app, which supports manual and automated modes. In smart mode, the system uses electricity price data, solar generation and surplus PV to schedule charging. Mova says it can access pricing from roughly 860 electricity providers, and users can set price thresholds to pause charging when prices are high or to charge during negative-price periods. A solar-surplus function can start EV charging automatically when excess PV exceeds 500 W.
Physical details
The S5000 measures 480 mm × 290 mm × 168.4 mm and weighs 14.8 kg. It uses natural cooling and supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and RS485 communication. Optional accessories include smart meters, EV chargers and smart plugs.
Mova did not disclose pricing or commercial availability in the supplied product information. Warranty terms are stated as 10 years, but other commercial details were not provided.
