Sungrow SBH Battery

Yes, eligible SBH configurations are approved for the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program rebate. Green.com.au checks the final configuration, handles the paperwork and shows the eligible discount upfront on the quote.

The Sungrow SBH is manufactured in Sungrow's factory in China. Sungrow was founded in 1997 and reports more than 870 GW of power-electronic equipment installed across over 180 countries. Its Australian operation has been based in Sydney since 2012, with its current sales and technical-support team in North Sydney.

Yes. It's IP55-rated and uses natural convection cooling (no fans, no noise), so it works fine outdoors or in a garage.

Yes, indirectly. The car charger is another electrical load in the home. When the EV charger is running, the SBH can discharge through the hybrid inverter and contribute energy to that load. You might need extra battery capacity to allow for home EV charging, which is something we can factor into your system design. Sungrow also offers fantastic compatible home EV chargers, which we can also install for you alongside your SBH. Where one is installed, the iSolarCloud app can bring the inverter, battery and EV charger into the same monitoring platform.

Yes. With a Sungrow three-phase hybrid inverter (the SH-RT series), the SBH is fully three-phase compatible. This makes it one of the best options on the market for larger homes, big families, and households with three-phase appliances or ducted aircon.

Yes, the SBH is genuinely modular. Start with a smaller stack and add 5 kWh modules as you go, up to 40 kWh per stack. Need more than that? Add a second, third or fourth stack in parallel, up to a max of 160 kWh. It is usually cheaper to install the right size from the get-go, though, so we do recommend future-proofing and sizing it right the first time, rather than relying on adding more capacity later.

Sungrow’s warranty provides ten-year cover against manufacturing defects and a ten-year performance warranty. The performance warranty guarantees at least 70% of the battery’s initial capacity after 120 months from installation, or 126 months from manufacture, whichever comes first. For ordinary daily self-consumption and backup applications, the current Version 9.0 warranty uses an unlimited-cycle condition. Different or combined applications outside those categories are subject to Sungrow’s model-specific throughput table.

Yes, when it is connected to a compatible Sungrow hybrid inverter and the backup side of the installation has been designed correctly. That does not automatically mean every circuit in every home can run during an outage. The backup design depends on the inverter rating, battery stack, switchboard and loads such as ducted air conditioning, ovens, pool pumps and EV chargers. This is something we can work through with you when we design your system.

Yes. The SBH is a high-voltage DC-coupled battery designed specifically to work with Sungrow's SH-series hybrid inverters. It can't be paired with other brands. The good news: Sungrow's hybrid inverters are some of the most widely-installed in Australia and are consistently rated highly for reliability and performance. We also include your inverter with your quote.

The number's the storage capacity. SBH150 = 15 kWh (3 modules). SBH200 = 20 kWh (4 modules). SBH250 = 25 kWh. SBH300 = 30 kWh. SBH350 = 35 kWh. SBH400 = 40 kWh (8 modules). All six use the same 5 kWh modules and share the same warranty. Every model uses the same 5 kWh modules. Larger stacks also operate at a higher battery voltage and have more published battery-side power. The actual power reaching the home is still determined by the compatible hybrid inverter and operating conditions.

It depends on the storage capacity, inverter, phase supply, existing solar, backup design, switchboard and installation location. A 15 kWh single-phase system is a very different job from a 40 kWh three-phase battery with whole-home backup. The SBH generally makes the most sense for higher-usage households that can actually use its storage and power, rather than someone simply chasing the smallest battery available. There's no one-size-fits-all price, and we prefer not to hit you with hidden costs later, so we provide obligation-free personalised quotes tailored to your home with a breakdown of what is included, and every eligible rebate applied to the quote.
