Growatt SPH inverter must be installed by professional electrical personnel who have
obtained the certification of the relevant departments. We have two kinds of energy
storage machine for different battery one is for lithium battery and the other is for
lead-acid battery, we suggest: customer should decide which kind of energy storage
machine you want, Growatt can provide only lithium battery with energy storage
machine, customer can choose lead-acid energy storage machine with no battery
provide by Growatt while they can buy these battery from market easily. Especially if
customer choose energy storage system with lithium battery(which must be provide
by Growatt) but used for lead-acid battery or used lead-acid battery for lithium
battery model, it will be dangerous. Installer can install energy storage machine of
Growatt SPH Series rapidly and troubleshooting, build communication system
through read this manual carefully. If you have any questions in the process of
installation, you can login in and leave some message. Or you can
call our 24-hour service hotline +86 0755 2747 1942/400-931-3122.

Growatt 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
back up power.
SPH series has six kinds of type:
•Growatt SPH3000
•Growatt
Note: In different country,we provide different power.Such as in Germany,we can
provide SPH3000~SPH4600,but we don’t provide SPH5000 and SPH6000.
SPH3600
•Growatt SPH4000
•Growatt SPH4600
•Growatt SPH5000
•Growatt SPH5600
