Usability
5.6 out of 10At 5,000 W continuous it sits on the 5,000 to 5,999 W rung for a 48 V all-in-one, so it scores 5 on capacity.
Better on capacityECO-WORTHY Liber 6kP Inverter$789.99Scores 7.0The spec table lists efficiency above 95 percent while the manual gives 92 percent, and ECO-WORTHY publishes no no-load draw (its 50 W power-saving figure is a load threshold, not an idle draw), so the lower 92 percent is scored alone, capped at 6, and it scores 6 on efficiency.
Its 10,000 W peak is 2.0 times its continuous rating, so it scores 5 on operating range.
It has a built-in MPPT controller, a 10 ms typical transfer by the manual, parallel operation of up to 6 units, RS485 communication with a matched battery's BMS, app monitoring through a Wi-Fi module and a 40 A AC charger, 160 A at 12 V-equivalent, but one unit puts out 120 V only, with 120/240 V split phase needing two units, so it scores 8 on features.
Intertek's directory lists this inverter, by its model name ECO5000W(SR), as Listed to UL 1741 and to CSA C22.2 No. 107.1 under Xiamen Eco-Sources Technology, so it scores 8 on verification.
ECO-WORTHY's all-in-one inverter policy gives this model a 2-year tiered term, with free repair or replacement for the first 18 months and trade-in credit after, which is scored one rung lower as prorated, so it scores 1 on warranty and support.
Eco-Worthy's warranty page gives most products 1 year and its 12 and 24 V batteries 3 years, for the original buyer only, against 10 years on its 48 V server-rack and PowerMega batteries and 2 years on its all-in-one inverters, both tiered by age.
