Usable capacity

100% of this battery’s nominal capacity is usable, 6.9 kWh in the scored configuration.

6.9 kWh usableScored configuration: LUNA2000-5/7/.../21-S1 (Smart String ESS, up to 20.7 kWh/tower). Published range 6.9–20.7 kWh.

No reserve is withheld at the stated depth of discharge.

At a sourced 100% depth of discharge the usable and nominal figures are the same number, so no separate nominal capacity is stated.

Market context

Global evidencechange in the site menu

Global benchmark. This scorecard is benchmarked globally. A global score does not imply local availability, certification, warranty coverage, or installer compatibility.

Benchmark anchor. Capacity range describes supported configurations; the score remains anchored to the reviewed reference configuration, not the largest stack. Scored model: LUNA2000-5/7/.../21-S1 (Smart String ESS, up to 20.7 kWh/tower) · checked 2026-06-16. Evidence.

Strong evidence coverage

23 of 27 scored criteria link directly to a published source.

Values marked estimated, derived, or not found remain visible on the audit sheet and do not carry the same evidential weight as a linked source. Coverage measures direct links, not an independent guarantee that a claim is correct.
