What we can tell you

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

It is a solar-only inverter: adding a battery later means a second inverter or an AC-coupled battery.
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: 3kW
Max efficiency How much of the solar you make reaches the house: 98.4%
Phases Runs on a standard single-phase supply: Single
Type Runs solar only: Solar
Warranty How long Shenzhen SOFARSOLAR Co Ltd stands behind it: 5yr

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.

Manual (PDF)
Charge Leakage Fault
Likely cause
Internal faults of inverter.
What to do
Switch OFF inverter, wait for 5 minutes, then switch ON inverter. Check whether the problem is solved. If no, please contact technical support.
ID001warningCall your installer
Manual (PDF)
The grid voltage is too high
Likely cause
If the alarm occurs occasionally, the possible cause is that the electric grid is abnormal occasionally. Inverter will automatically return to normal operating status when the electric grid's back to normal. If the alarm occurs frequently, check whether the grid voltage/frequency is within the acceptable range. If yes, please check the AC circuit breaker and AC wiring of the inverter.
What to do
If the grid voltage/frequency is NOT within the acceptable range and AC wiring is correct, but the alarm occurs repeatedly, contact technical support to change the grid over-voltage, under-voltage, over-frequency, under-frequency protection points after obtaining approval from the local electrical grid operator.
ID002warningCall your installer
Manual (PDF)
The grid voltage is too low
Likely cause
The grid voltage is consistently below the acceptable range.
What to do
Check the AC circuit breaker and AC wiring of the inverter.

Transient overvoltage of grid voltage 2
Likely cause
Temporary spikes in grid voltage.
What to do
Monitor to see if the issue persists.
