LG BPEL007HBG1 Battery Module 7.9 kWh Li-ion IP56
The LG BPEL007HBG1 is a modular storage system made of 2 lithium-ion battery modules for 7.9 kWh total. Designed to boost self-consumption in residential PV systems, it offers IP56 protection (indoor or outdoor installation) and a 10-year warranty. 26 kg per module.
The LG BPEL007HBG1 is a modular lithium-ion energy storage system of 7.9 kWh, designed to store the energy produced by solar panels and make it available when needed. It increases the self-consumption of the PV system and reduces grid imports, with a 10-year warranty and IP56 protection rating that allows both indoor and outdoor installation.
Why add storage to a PV system?
Without a battery, solar energy produced and not consumed immediately is fed into the grid and poorly valued. With a storage system like the BPEL007HBG1, the surplus energy from the middle of the day is stored and reused in the evening and at night, when the system is not producing. This typically raises self-consumption from 30% to over 70% and stabilises the bill.

What can it do in everyday life?
With about 7.9 kWh of storage, an average household covers much of its evening and night needs with energy produced during the day. In practice it is enough to run the fridge for 24 hours, the TV for several hours, two washing machine cycles and the LED lights of the whole home for the entire evening, without drawing from the grid. It is a size suited to a 3-4 person home with a 3-6 kWp PV system.
What is included?
- 2 LG lithium-ion battery modules (7.9 kWh total)
- Technical documentation and LG Electronics 10-year warranty
Frequently asked questions
Is the BPEL007HBG1 already a complete system or is more needed?
The BPEL007HBG1 consists of the battery modules. To operate, it must be paired with a hybrid inverter or a storage system compatible with LG lithium-ion modules, which manages charging and discharging. Always check compatibility with your system's inverter before purchase.
Can I install the battery outdoors?
Yes. The IP56 protection rating guards against dust and water jets, so the BPEL007HBG1 can be installed both indoors and in a sheltered outdoor location. For maximum lifespan, installation in a technical room or sheltered from extreme temperatures is still recommended.
How long is the warranty?
LG Electronics provides a 10-year warranty on the battery modules, in line with the residential market standard for lithium-ion storage.
How many people is the 7.9 kWh capacity suitable for?
A 7.9 kWh capacity is typically suited to a 3-4 person home with a 3 to 6 kWp PV system. It covers evening and night consumption with the energy stored during the day, maximising self-consumption.
Are the modules expandable?
LG modular systems are generally expandable by adding capacity, within the limits set by the inverter and the battery management system. For configurations above 7.9 kWh, check the scalability supported by the paired hybrid inverter.
