How a Sungrow system fits together

The SBR battery is a stack of 3.2 kWh modules, from three modules (9.6 kWh) up to eight (25.6 kWh). It connects to a Sungrow hybrid inverter, which runs your panels and the battery together.

Already have a Sungrow inverter? If it is a hybrid model, a battery can often be added to it. Sungrow’s solar-only inverters need to be swapped for a hybrid first.

Ask us a question

Is Sungrow a good battery?

The SBR uses LFP cells, a chemistry known for long life and stability, and carries a 10-year warranty with conditions on capacity and throughput. You get the warranty document with your quote.

Can a Sungrow battery back up my home?

Sungrow hybrid inverters have a backup output. What it can run depends on the inverter model and which circuits we wire to it. We tell you before you buy.

Can I add more modules later?

Yes, up to eight modules (25.6 kWh) in a stack. It is simplest when the first install allows for it, so tell us if you might.

How much does a Sungrow battery cost installed?

It depends on the size, single or three phase, backup and your switchboard. You get one written price with the federal discount already taken off.
