Growatt SPF 6000ES Plus photovoltaic inverter 6kW 48V

Growatt SPF 6000 ES Plus 6 kW

The Growatt SPF 6000 ES Plus inverter is the optimal choice for so-called island systems without an available distribution network - a generator and/or battery can be connected to the unit as a backup energy source. It is a hybrid inverter with sine wave output ideal for home and small commercial systems. The built-in MPPT controller can handle up to 8 kW PV array with a maximum open circuit voltage 500 Voc. It can work with both lead-acid and Li-ion batteries. Of course, there are RJ-45 ports for CAN/RS-485 communication with BMS LiFePO4 modular batteries of brands such as Pylontech, WECO, Seplos, etc.

The inverter can also be operated without a battery provided there is an active connection to the distribution network. In SUB operating mode, the inverter monitors the load power and the output of the available photovoltaic source, and any missing part of the energy is supplemented from the public grid. The device allows setting a bypass, which in the event of a battery or PV array disconnection, connects the inverter output to the public grid within 10 ms to prevent power interruption. It also supports UPS mode with a switch to battery operation within 10 ms. The inverter contains two inputs for connecting solar panels.

By connecting the inverters in parallel, a total system power of up to 36 kW can be achieved. The inverter can be retrofitted with a Wi-Fi/LAN communication module for remote control and monitoring.

Features

• Integrated MPPT solar controller
• Equalization charging function
• Ability to operate with or without a battery
• Input photovoltaic voltage up to 500 VDC
• Configurable grid or solar input priority
• With the possibility of remote monitoring via Wi-Fi
• Support for parallel operation to expand capacity up to 36 kW
• PV and grid supply the load together if PV energy is insufficient
• Flexible planning of charging and discharging times by the inverter
• Active cooling fans with speed control according to the inverter load
• 2× input for solar panels

The inverter comes with a free Wi-Fi module for wireless communication and monitoring.

A great advantage is easy installation and intuitive control with inverter settings via a clear LCD display, PC or simply a mobile phone.

When operating the inverter in Solar Priority mode and when operating without a battery, the inverter behaves as a so-called "hybrid", there is a possibility of electricity overflows into the distribution grid. To eliminate these overflows, use the SBU Battery Priority mode, where the battery switches to bypass when there is a lack of energy in the battery.

Growatt is one of the world's largest manufacturers of photovoltaic inverters and is even a leader among suppliers for residential use. It currently sells its products in 160 countries around the world and has 41 local representatives. The company designs, develops and manufactures photovoltaic inverters, energy storage products, electric vehicle chargers, intelligent energy management systems and more.
