Afore New Energy Technology AF5.5K-SL

CEC listing: AF5.5K-SL (AS4777-2 2020)

A 5.5 kW single-phase hybrid inverter that is battery-ready.

Installed in Perth, typical: ~$2,613; Estimate for the inverter alone — your quote will vary
Rated power: 5.5kW; How much solar it can run at once
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 runs on a standard single-phase supply.
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.

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: 5.5kW
Max efficiency How much of the solar you make reaches the house: 98.0%
Phases Runs on a standard single-phase supply: Single
MPPT trackers 2 roof faces can be tuned independently: 2
Type Runs solar and a battery from one unit: Hybrid
Warranty How long Afore New Energy Technology (Shanghai) Co Ltd stands behind it: 5yr

Documents

5-year inverter warranty

Afore New Energy Technology AF5.5K-SL

The warranty covers manufacturing defects and poor performance under normal use. Exclusions include unauthorized modifications, improper installation, and environmental conditions like salt or flooding. To make a claim, contact customer service with proof of purchase and installation.

AI-summarised from the manufacturer warranty document. Always confirm against the linked PDF before relying on it for a claim.

Coverage shape: Pro-rata — value reduces with age
If you sell the home: Transfers to the next homeowner
What voids it: Void if installed by non-accredited personnel or if system is modified.
Environment limits: Must not be exposed to extreme salt or flood conditions.
