SMA Home Storage 6.5 kWh High-Voltage Battery System (3× HS-BM-3.28-10) for Homes and SME
The SMA Home Storage 6.5kWh is a high-voltage modular battery system designed for modern residential and light commercial hybrid PV installations. Built around two HS-BM-3.28-10 battery modules, the system delivers scalable, efficient energy storage optimized for SMA hybrid inverter platforms.
Developed as part of SMA’s integrated energy storage ecosystem, Home Storage enables reliable self-consumption optimisation, grid independence, and future-ready energy management. The system is engineered for long service life, stable performance, and installer-friendly deployment.
System Architecture and Design Concept
High-Voltage Modular 6.5kWh Battery System
The 6.5kWh SMA Home Storage uses a high-voltage battery DC architecture, reducing current flow and improving overall system efficiency compared to low-voltage battery solutions. High-voltage operation minimises conversion losses and enables compact cabling and clean system layouts.
The 6.5 kWh configuration consists of:
-
2× HS-BM-3.28-10 battery modules
-
Central system control and communication
-
Unified battery stack operation
This configuration is suitable for households with higher energy demand, electric heating support, or increased evening and night-time consumption.
Battery Technology and Longevity
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) Cells
The 6.5kWh SMA Home Storage uses Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry, chosen for its safety, thermal stability, and long operational lifespan. LFP cells are particularly suited for stationary storage systems with frequent daily cycling.
Key characteristics:
-
High resistance to thermal stress
-
Stable voltage behaviour
-
Long service life under continuous operation
This makes the system a reliable long-term investment for residential energy storage.
Energy Efficiency and System Performance
DC-Coupled Operation
The battery system operates DC-coupled with compatible SMA hybrid inverters. Solar energy is stored directly without unnecessary AC conversion steps, increasing round-trip efficiency and improving overall system yield.
Optimised Charge and Discharge Behaviour
The system supports fast and controlled charging and discharging, allowing it to capture short production peaks and supply household loads efficiently during low-production periods.
Integration with SMA Hybrid Inverters
Seamless SMA Ecosystem Compatibility
The 6.5kWh SMA Home Storage is designed to integrate natively with SMA hybrid inverter platforms, ensuring coordinated energy flow between PV generation, battery storage, and household loads.
The tight system integration allows:
-
Accurate state-of-charge control
-
Optimised self-consumption
-
Reliable backup-ready operation (depending on inverter configuration)
Installation and Scalability of the 6.5 kWh solar battery
Installer-Friendly System Design
The modular battery stack simplifies transport, handling, and installation. Electrical and mechanical interfaces are standardised, reducing installation errors and commissioning time.
Scalable Storage Concept
While this product represents a 6.5 kWh configuration, SMA Home Storage systems can be scaled by selecting different module counts, allowing installers to tailor capacity to customer demand.

No. SMA Home Storage is designed to operate exclusively with compatible SMA hybrid inverters. It cannot be used as a standalone battery system without an inverter.
The system uses Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery cells, offering high safety, thermal stability, and long cycle life suitable for daily residential energy storage.
Yes. The system is designed specifically to store surplus PV energy and release it during periods of higher household demand, increasing self-consumption and reducing grid dependency.
Backup capability depends on the SMA hybrid inverter configuration and additional components. The battery itself is backup-ready but requires proper system design.
SMA Home Storage systems are modular. Expansion options depend on the inverter platform and SMA system limits. Installers should follow SMA documentation for supported configurations.
