Output 8000 W, surge 16000 W for 10 s.
Takes up to 10400 W of panels (up to 500 V, 2 MPPT inputs).
Battery: 48 V (40-60 V), charging up to 190 A.
NRS 097-2-1 (the South African grid code): stated. Municipalities generally ask for this certificate before you connect a system that can feed the grid.
Warranty: 5 years (10 years when installed with a Sunsynk battery). South Africa-specific warranty T&C PDF published on sunsynk.org.
