With the Growatt SPH6000TL3 BH 3-phase hybrid inverter, you can take an important step towards the future. The electricity generated by the solar panels that is not consumed at the time of generation (direct self-consumption) can be fed back into the grid, but you can also store it in a home battery! In this way, we can utilise the energy generated on a sunny day in the evening hours. This hybrid inverter from Growatt is able to connect the grid, the solar panels and the battery. The beauty of this hybrid inverter system is that the inverter also works well without a battery. So you can start by connecting it to the grid only, with a view to adding a Growatt ARK high-voltage battery at home in the foreseeable future.
The Growatt SPH6000TL3 BH 3-phase hybrid inverters are fully-fledged hybrid inverters. They have a UPS function, which stands for Uninterrupted Power Supply. This means that the inverter can switch almost seamlessly between any emergency power supply and a normal AC connection. This means that in most cases, for example, a server will simply remain switched on in the event of a power failure, provided the battery is sufficiently charged to supply the emergency power circuit. Note: If the emergency power supply is used, it is mandatory according to NEN that you are also physically completely disconnected from the grid so that you cannot accidentally feed power back into the grid when work is being carried out on the cables in the street. Use an automatic 3-phase changeover switch for this purpose.
In order for the SPH inverter to work properly with a battery, the Growatt Smart Meter must be connected 3-phase. This is included in the inverter packaging as standard. You install it at the very beginning of the meter box so that it can measure all incoming and outgoing energy! As a result, the inverter knows when electricity is being fed back into the grid and can use the settings to determine whether the battery needs to be charged or discharged.
Various priorities can be specified in the Growatt SPH 3-phase hybrid inverters. Switching between these modes can take place on the basis of preset schedules. It is therefore not a completely dynamic system based on electricity prices.
- Load first: This mode ensures that the solar power generated is sent to the consumers in the house first. The surplus electricity generated is used to charge the battery. When the battery is full, the rest is fed back into the grid.
- Battery first: The solar power generated is used to charge the battery first. If this is successful, the rest can be supplied to the consumers in the house. If there is any power left over, it is fed back into the grid.
- Grid first: This setting ensures that all the electricity generated is fed directly into the grid.
The Growatt SPH6000TL3 BH-UP 3-phase hybrid inverter has no mechanical fan or transformer and is therefore very quiet. In addition, the inverter has 2 MPP trackers. This means that 2 “strings” connected in series can be connected, which do not influence each other, e.g. in the event of shading. This is ideal if, for example, the lower half of the roof receives sun later than the upper half, or if only one half of the roof is shaded. You can connect up to 6000 watts peak to this inverter! The moment you generate more than 6000 watts, the surplus is capped.
The battery that you can connect to this inverter has a maximum direct current output of 6000 watts, a voltage range of 100 to 550 volts and a maximum continuous input current of 25 amps.
It can be easily monitored with Growatt ShineWiFi-X or a Growatt Shine Link-X. Or use a Growatt Shine Master (4G) if you want several 1-phase SPH hybrid inverters to work together.
Growatt offers a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty on its battery-powered inverters.
