Sungrow SH6.0RS

SH6.0RS · Sungrow

Hybrid, single-phase

Good to know

Runs the home from panels, a battery and the grid, and keeps the power on in a power cut when a battery is connected.
Output 6000 W, surge 8400 W for 10 s.
Takes up to 9000 W of panels (up to 600 V, 2 MPPT inputs).
Battery: 80-460 V, charging up to 30 A.
Switches to backup in 10 ms (the datasheet's UPS / transfer time).
NRS 097-2-1 (the South African grid code): not stated on the datasheet, so ask the seller. Municipalities generally ask for this certificate before you connect a system that can feed the grid.
Warranty: Not stated on the datasheet.

Check this: Needs a high-voltage battery: Sungrow's datasheet gives a battery range of 80 V to 460 V, so the usual 48 V / 51.2 V home batteries listed here won't work with it. Ask the seller which battery it is sold with.
