The Eleven North Sea EL6000 is a 6kW single-phase hybrid inverter designed for homes that want to combine solar generation with sodium battery storage in one integrated system. Built around smart energy control, it supports up to 9kWp solar input, includes 2 MPPTs, and delivers 6kW nominal output for day-to-day household use.
This is not just a basic inverter for converting solar power. The EL6000 is designed to sit at the centre of a wider home energy setup, managing solar input, battery charging, household demand and backup supply through a dedicated EPS port. For buyers looking at a more future-facing storage system, that makes it a stronger fit than a simple grid-tied inverter alone.
The EL6000 delivers 6kW nominal output on a single-phase supply, with a maximum output current of 27.2A. On the solar side, it supports up to 9kWp DC input, with a 95V starting voltage, 80-550V MPPT voltage range and 2 MPPTs for more flexible array design.
The inverter is designed to work with Eleven’s sodium-ion battery system, using a nominal battery voltage of 45V and a battery voltage range of 33V to 59.5V. It supports up to 100A continuous charging and discharging current, with battery charge and discharge power listed at up to 5kW.
That makes it suitable for customers who want a battery-led system focused on daily self-consumption, smart tariff use and backup capability, rather than just exporting excess solar back to the grid.
The North Sea EL6000 includes a dedicated EPS port for backup power supply, helping it do more than a standard on-grid inverter. It is also positioned as smart tariff compatible, with intelligent work modes and smart energy device integration built into the system.
Monitoring and configuration are handled through Eleven’s UK cloud platform, giving users real-time visibility and the ability to monitor and configure the system remotely. Communication ports listed on the datasheet include RS485, CAN and parallel ports.
The EL6000 uses silicon carbide technology, which Eleven links to higher efficiency and longer lifespan. The datasheet lists PV maximum efficiency at 98%, battery charging and discharging efficiency at 95.2%, standby power loss at 10W or less, and noise emission below 25dB.
With IP65 protection, natural cooling and an operating temperature range of -25°C to 60°C, the North Sea EL6000 is designed for indoor or outdoor installation where required. The compact wall-mounted housing measures 500 x 470 x 180mm and weighs 23kg.
The datasheet confirms G99 and G100 grid approval, along with CE-LVD and CE-EMC certification. Built-in protection features include PV insulation resistance detection, residual current monitoring, anti-islanding protection, AC short circuit protection, overvoltage and overload protection, DC surge protection type 2, lightning protection and reverse polarity protection for both PV and battery connections.
That gives the inverter a strong technical base for residential installation where safety, compliance and long-term system reliability matter.
This inverter is a strong fit for households that want:
If the aim is to build a more complete home energy system rather than just add solar generation alone, the EL6000 is the part of the setup that ties generation, storage and control together.
