What the Beacon looks like where it lives

16 kWh of usable LiFePO4 storage in a floor-standing cabinet on industrial casters. Supports central AC zones, refrigeration, well pumps and an overnight EV charging buffer. Higher peak current handles inrush from compressors and motors.

The finish is intended for a room people use rather than a plant room. The status display shows state of charge, voltage, current and cell temperature, so you can see what the system is doing without an app or a login.

PentaVault Beacon 16 kWh floor standing battery cabinet installed next to a wall mounted hybrid inverter in a utility room

Where it fits

The sites this cabinet is built for

  • The villa and the farmhouse

    The whole house keeps running through the worst night of summer. AC zones, refrigeration, pumps and lighting all stay live, with no daily attention needed.

  • The clinic, salon or branch office

    Service hours stay billable. Air conditioning does not trip, diagnostic equipment does not power cycle, and customers never see the outage.

  • The EV-curious household

    Pair with a hybrid inverter and a wall box to use the cabinet as an overnight charging buffer, charging the car when grid rates are lowest.

The daily pattern

Why this cabinet earns its cost after sunset

Your roof produces in the middle of the day. Your household spends most of its power between sunset and midnight. Without storage the surplus goes to the grid for about PKR 11.33 a unit and comes back at PKR 37 to PKR 55.

The Beacon holds the midday surplus so the evening runs on your own power instead of bought power. That price gap, not the generation figure, is what pays for the cabinet.

A rooftop array makes its power in the middle of the day. A Pakistani household uses most of its power after sunset. Storage moves the orange surplus across to cover the blue evening gap, which is the whole reason a battery pays.

Questions about the Beacon

How long will the Beacon run my house?
A 16 kWh cabinet covers one or two air conditioning zones, a pump and refrigeration through a summer night. The survey turns that into a figure for your actual load rather than a generic claim.
Where does it get installed?
On the floor, indoors, near the inverter. It is on castors for positioning but is not intended to be moved once commissioned, and it needs ventilation and service clearance.
Can I add a second cabinet later?
Yes, up to sixteen in parallel without changing the inverter. Starting with one and adding another as the load grows is a common and sensible pattern, and it is cheaper than buying capacity you will not use for three years.
Is the quoted capacity usable?
It is nominal energy. Depth of discharge is published separately at 95 percent, so multiply the two for the usable figure. Any supplier who will not give you both numbers is quoting a number that cannot be compared.
What does the cycle rating actually mean?
8,000 cycles measured to 70 percent residual capacity. At roughly one cycle a day that is over twenty years before the pack reaches that threshold, and it keeps working past it with less capacity.
Does it need its own cooling?
No. It is passively cooled and rated to 55 degrees, which covers a Pakistani summer indoors. What it does need is ventilation clearance, which is why the position is a design decision rather than wherever there is a free wall.
Will it work with my existing inverter?
If it is a hybrid inverter from one of the eight brands we have verified, almost certainly. Send us the make, model and firmware and we will confirm before you commit rather than after.
What is covered by the warranty?
Five years replacement plus three years service support, honoured by us rather than by an importer. We assembled the pack, we installed it, and we answer the phone.

Why PentaVault

What every cabinet carries

Four promises that apply across the range, each one a behaviour we can show rather than a marketing word.

  • Continuity: sub-20 millisecond hybrid inverter switchover
  • Longevity: cycle life published with a residual capacity threshold
  • Compatibility: verified against eight named inverter brands
  • Accountability: in-country support through the PENTA-H network
  • Certified to CE, UN38.3 and IEC 62619
  • Warranty of five years replacement plus three years service

Where to next

Find out whether the Beacon is the right size for your home

An engineer measures what must keep running after dark, not just what your bill says. The survey and the quotation cost nothing, and you are under no obligation at any point.
