Growatt AURA 5000 plug-in battery, 5kWh

The Growatt AURA 5000 is a smart and accessible home battery for anyone looking to get started with energy storage. Thanks to its plug-and-play design, you can easily connect this battery without the need for major modifications to your existing system.

With a capacity of 5 kWh and a charging and discharging power of up to 2.5 kW, this system is perfectly suited to the energy consumption of most households. It is not a standard DC-MPPT home battery, but an AC-connected one. This means you cannot connect your solar panels directly to it.

Why choose the Growatt AURA 5000?

• Ideal entry-level model for home batteries
• Plug-and-play installation via a mains socket or circuit
• Works with virtually any existing inverter (AC-coupled)
• Increases self-consumption from ±30% to 60–70%
• Whisper-quiet (<30 dB) and suitable for indoor and outdoor use (IP66)
• 10-year warranty and 6,000+ charge cycles

Smart energy storage and usage

The AURA 5000 automatically stores surplus solar energy and uses it when you need it. When combined with a smart meter or P1 dongle, the system can monitor and manage your home’s energy consumption in real time.

With smart features such as dynamic energy tariffs, the battery can charge when electricity is cheap and discharge when it is expensive.

Simple installation

The AURA 5000 offers flexible installation options:

• Plug & play via a mains socket (up to ±800W standard output)
• Connection via the distribution board (up to 2.5 kW power)
• Ready for immediate use without any modifications to the existing PV system

Installation tip: for maximum performance and safety, we recommend installation on a dedicated circuit.

Always connected, even without an internet connection

The battery communicates with the energy meter via LoRa. This ensures a stable connection, even without Wi-Fi or in the event of internet outages.

Back-up function (EPS)

In the event of a power cut, the AURA 5000 can switch to emergency power for connected devices within <20 milliseconds.

What do you need?

Who is this battery suitable for?

The Growatt AURA 5000 is ideal for households without a heat pump or with a limited surplus of solar energy. The system prevents oversizing and offers an affordable first step towards energy storage.
