Sungrow SBH: 40kWh [HV Battery]

Regular price $26,914.00
Tax included Shipping calculated at checkout.



 

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

Benefit What It Means for You
10-Year Warranty (70% Capacity) Higher minimum end-of-warranty capacity guarantee than many competitors — 70% vs. the typical 60%.
100% Usable Energy (DOD) The full 40 kWh of stored energy is available to power your home.
High 50A Continuous Current Significantly more discharge power than the SBR (30A) — ideal for homes with EV chargers, pool pumps, and air conditioning.
96–97% Round-Trip Efficiency Among the highest round-trip efficiencies in residential storage — more solar energy returned to your home per cycle.
5 kWh Modules Larger modules mean fewer components, faster installation, and a more compact footprint for the same capacity.
IP55 Rated Enclosure Suitable for indoor and outdoor installations across all Australian climate zones.
iSolarCloud Integration Full monitoring and management via Sungrow's iSolarCloud App — live data, remote control, and alerts.


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.

AS/NZS 5139 Compliance Positioning

Compliance Area Positioning
Battery Chemistry Uses Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) chemistry, widely regarded as a safer and more thermally stable battery technology for residential energy storage applications.
Installation Environment Suitable for indoor or outdoor installation subject to site-specific assessment, required clearances, and installer compliance with AS/NZS 5139 and all local electrical and building requirements.
System Protection Includes battery protection functions such as over/under voltage, over current, and over/under temperature monitoring, supporting safe system design when installed correctly.
Mounting Requirements Floor-mounted configuration with wall fixing of the top module supports secure installation, but final compliance depends on the certified installer's site design and mounting method.
Location Assessment Final placement must be assessed against AS/NZS 5139 requirements for exclusion zones, egress paths, habitable rooms, windows, doors, vents, and nearby ignition sources.
Installer Responsibility Compliance with AS/NZS 5139 is determined by the complete installed system, not the battery alone. Installation must be completed by a suitably licensed and accredited installer.
Australian Market Suitability CEC listing and relevant product certifications support suitability for Australian residential installations, subject to compliant system design and installation practices.

Important: Product features and certifications support compliant installation outcomes, however final AS/NZS 5139 compliance is site-specific and must be confirmed by the installer based on battery location, mounting surface, clearances, barriers, ventilation, and the overall system design.
