Sungrow SBR Battery – Modular Solar Storage
Sungrow has been building solar technology since 1997 and manufactures at a global scale, so spare parts are easy to source and local technicians already know the product. The SBR is its residential battery storage line, built to pair naturally with Sungrow’s own solar hardware or retrofit onto whatever system you already have.
Sungrow moved into battery storage in 2018, and the SBR series is the result, a modular Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery built in 3.2kWh blocks, so you can size a system to a small or medium Brisbane home without paying for capacity you don’t need. LFP chemistry is also better suited to Queensland heat than older battery chemistries, which matters when your unit is mounted on a garage wall or exterior wall through a Brisbane summer.
A modular battery from one of the world’s largest solar manufacturers, sized to fit your home rather than the other way around.
Who the Sungrow SBR Battery Suits Best
Growing solar households
You’ve already got solar and want to store more of what you generate instead of exporting it for a low feed-in rate.
Blackout-conscious homes
You want backup power during an outage, and you’re happy to size the system and wiring around that goal from the start.
Not sure how much storage you need?
Start with a smaller SBR now. Its modular design means you can add more later if you’re unsure how much you’ll need or expect your usage to grow.
Value-focused buyers
You want a well-known, established brand without paying a premium price for the name alone.
about Sungrow SBR Battery
Sungrow SBR Battery Specifications
The table below covers the Sungrow SBR range as installed by Volteam. The series is modular in 3.2kWh steps, so the numbers scale depending on how many modules your system uses.
The SBR is DC-coupled, which means it’s built to pair with a Sungrow hybrid inverter. If you’re installing solar and battery together, that’s typically the most cost-effective route. If you already have a different brand of inverter, retrofitting an SBR takes a bit more planning on our end, so flag that when you request a quote.
