Due to the epileptic power supply situation in this part of the world and many other developing countries, people are constantly on the lookout for alternate source of electricity supply to keep up with their daily life and business activities.
Generator sets have been the go-to choice for many years now but lately, there has been a paradigm shift to solar panels and inverters as choice of alternative power for obvious reasons: zilch environment pollution (no noise and exhaust smoke), no continuous after-purchase investment (fueling and oiling), durability, long lasting, portability etc.
This has somewhat resulted in the increase in demand for inverters and subsequently resulted in an increase in the available types, sizes, and brands of inverters in the market.
Normally, if you need to power just some basic low power-intensive appliances in your home or office or wherever, small sized inverters like 800VA, 1.4KVA, 1.5KVA or 2.5KVA inverters would do the magic. But say you would love to power almost anything in your home or have power supply for longer periods, buying a bigger capacity inverter (like a 5KVA inverter) would be your best bet.
It is in this light that we present to you some of the best 5KVA inverters we have identified to help narrow down your search and make better buying decision.
