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, so check your switchboard or ask your installer.
  • On Synergy's approved inverter list. Synergy's Supported Solutions List covers inverters approved for battery control. A battery system needs an inverter on this list to be eligible for the WA Battery Scheme. Other scheme conditions apply.
  • It is CEC-approved, which a new install needs to qualify for STCs.
