of inverter if required prior to purchasing. GROWATT can only provide lithium battery
that is compatible with inverter, no lead-acid battery will be provided by Growatt as
customer can easily buy these from the market. It is dangerous if customer choose
inverter compatible with lithium battery (which must be provide by GROWATT) but uses it
for lead-acid battery or uses lead-acid battery for lithium battery inverter.

1 Brief Introduction
1.1 Preface
SPH Series is used to store energy generated by the photovoltaic cell panels or energy
from grid if it is allowed in the battery, also energy can be sent to power grid through
SPH for self consumption or when Grid power is lost, SPH can be used as backup
power.
SPH series has six kinds of type:
• SPH 3000 TL BL-UP
• SPH 3600 TL BL-UP
• SPH 4000 TL BL-UP
• SPH 4600 TL BL-UP
• SPH 5000 TL BL-UP
• SPH 6000 TL BL-UP
