Our verdict
The longest manufacturer warranty of the full-size inverters here: 12 years, against the 5 years that is standard elsewhere. Electrically it is a conventional 5kW hybrid: two MPPT trackers at one string each, 7.5kWp per string, 97.6% maximum PV efficiency, with a 3,600W backup terminal that transfers in 10ms. At 21.7A maximum output current it is a G99 application, and G99 and G100 are both listed on the datasheet's approvals. It weighs 32kg.
Good
- 12-year manufacturer warranty
- 3,600W backup output with a 10ms transfer
- 97.6% maximum PV efficiency
- G99 and G100 both on the datasheet approvals list
Watch out
- G99 application needed (21.7A max. output current, over the 16A G98 line)
- 32kg
- One string per MPPT tracker limits array layout options
