Sungrow is Australia’s most-installed inverter brand, and the SBR battery series is purpose-designed to pair with Sungrow’s SH hybrid inverter range. For SA homeowners who already have a Sungrow inverter, or who are purchasing a new Sungrow hybrid system, the SBR battery offers a seamless single-ecosystem installation that dramatically simplifies commissioning, monitoring and warranty support.
The SBR series uses high-voltage LFP chemistry in a modular stackable format — the SBR096 (9.6kWh), SBR128 (12.8kWh) and SBR160 (16kWh) are all configured by stacking individual battery modules. This means capacity can be chosen precisely for the household’s needs without committing to a fixed unit size, and additional modules can be added later.
The iSolarCloud monitoring platform — Sungrow’s inverter monitoring app, regarded as one of the best in the industry — integrates fully with SBR battery data, providing a single dashboard for solar generation, battery state of charge, grid import/export and historical energy flows.
