What Is a Sungrow Battery?
100% usable capacity
Every kWh Sungrow advertises is a kWh you can actually use — no hidden reserve. Buy exactly the storage you need without paying for unusable headroom.
Modular — start small, expand later
Both SBR and SBH stack in fixed modules. Start with what suits your budget and usage today, and add capacity later without replacing hardware.
Built for Australian heat
Natural convection cooling, no fans, LFP chemistry — Sungrow batteries are engineered to handle 40°C+ garages without the thermal risk of older lithium chemistries.
Sungrow SBR vs SBH — Which One Fits Your Home?
Sungrow's residential range splits into two series. Most Melbourne homes fit the SBR; larger homes and three-phase properties often need the SBH.

| Module size | 3.2 kWh modules | 5 kWh modules |
| Continuous current | 30A | 50A |
| Voltage class | Low voltage | High voltage |
| Phase | Single phase systems | Three-phase (SH-T series inverters) |
| Depth of discharge | 100% usable energy on both series | |
| Weatherproofing | IP55 · floor-mounted · natural convection cooling (no fan) | |

What Melbourne Homeowners Say
"Had SBR modules added to our existing Sungrow inverter. Supply Solar confirmed compatibility over the phone before even visiting — no wiring headaches, the modules just stacked on. Live the same day."
"Went with the Sungrow SBH as we're three-phase and needed more than 25kWh overnight. The team explained everything — including the federal rebate — and the quote matched the final bill exactly. No nasty surprises."
"We did new solar plus a matched Sungrow inverter and SBR battery as a package — one supplier, no compatibility questions. Supply Solar handled both rebates and sorted the grid approval. Our evening usage is now almost entirely from the battery."
