Afore New Energy Technology AF20K-TH

CEC listing: AF20K-TH (AS4777-2 2020)

A 20 kW three-phase hybrid inverter that is battery-ready.

Installed in Perth, typical: ~$9,500; Estimate for the inverter alone — your quote will vary
Rated power: 20kW; How much solar it can run at once — a large roof
Battery-ready: Yes; Hybrid: a battery plugs straight in, no second box

What we can tell you

Read from the figures on this page. No review written yet.

It is a hybrid inverter: solar and a battery run from the one unit, so adding a battery later doesn't need a second box.
It needs a three-phase supply — check your switchboard, or ask your installer.
We can't confirm it is on Synergy's approved list — a battery paired with it needs that for the WA Battery Scheme, so ask your installer.
It is CEC-approved, which a new install needs to qualify for STCs.
We hold no captured datasheet for this model yet, so the specs below come from the CEC register only.

Key specs, in plain terms

The numbers that matter for a home. The full datasheet is below.

Rated power How much solar it can turn into usable power at once: 20kW
Phases Needs a three-phase supply — check your switchboard: 3-phase
Type Runs solar and a battery from one unit: Hybrid
Warranty How long Afore New Energy Technology (Shanghai) Co Ltd stands behind it: 10yr

WA compliance

Synergy approved list: Not confirmed
ESM compliant: Check

Western Power approval is required for every grid-connected install. Under Emergency Solar Management, a new system must be remotely manageable, or take an export limit instead — ask your installer to confirm this inverter’s ESM status.
