Sungrow SBH: 40kWh [HV Battery]

The Sungrow SBH is a next-generation high-voltage modular Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery system designed for homes and light commercial sites with high energy demands. Using 5 kWh modules — larger than the SBR’s 3.2 kWh — the SBH delivers more power in fewer stacking positions, with a higher continuous current of 50A compared to the SBR’s 30A. This 40 kWh configuration (SBH400) uses 8 × 5 kWh modules with a nominal voltage of 563.2 V, delivering 100% usable energy and a round-trip efficiency of 96–97%. With IP55 rating, 10-year warranty with 70% capacity retention, and CEC approval, the SBH is suited for large residential and light commercial energy storage applications in Australia.

Key Benefits

Premium Performance for High-Demand Homes

The Sungrow SBH 40 kWh system is engineered for properties that require substantial storage capacity and high output power. The 50A continuous current rating means the SBH400 can deliver approximately 28.16 kW of instantaneous power from this 8-module stack, supporting multiple large loads simultaneously such as ducted air conditioning, EV chargers, workshops, or small commercial operations. The 96–97% round-trip efficiency ensures minimal energy loss across daily charge and discharge cycles.

Advanced LFP Architecture at Scale

The SBH operates at a nominal voltage of 563.2 V with an operating voltage range of approximately 475.2 V to 642.4 V, aligning with Sungrow’s high-voltage three-phase hybrid inverter platforms. The system uses Lithium Iron Phosphate prismatic cells combined with a multi-layer Battery Management System (BMS) that protects against over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, and thermal events. Natural convection cooling enables silent operation with minimal maintenance.

Designed for Expansion and Long-Term Value

The SBH400 represents the maximum capacity within a single stack (8 modules = 40 kWh). For larger systems, up to 4 SBH units can be connected in parallel, allowing total system capacity of up to 160 kWh. This provides a scalable solution for large residential properties, commercial sites, and energy-intensive applications without requiring a platform change.
