Product Overview
The Sunsynk 16kW Plus 48V Single Phase Hybrid Inverter is a high-capacity hybrid inverter designed for larger residential, commercial, backup power and solar installations. With a 16kW rated AC output, three MPPT trackers and support for low-voltage battery storage, it provides flexible management of solar, battery, grid and generator power from a single system.
Key Features
- 16kW single-phase hybrid inverter output provides substantial capacity for larger homes, businesses and high-demand backup power installations.
- Supports up to 25.6kW of PV input, allowing the solar array to be appropriately oversized for improved energy harvesting throughout the day.
- Three MPPT trackers with up to 36A PV input current per MPPT provide flexibility when designing arrays with different orientations or string configurations.
- 48V low-voltage battery architecture supports battery storage for backup power, self-consumption and off-grid applications.
- Maximum battery charge and discharge current of 290A supports high-power battery charging and energy delivery.
- Generator integration allows an alternative AC power source to be incorporated into suitably designed installations.
- Programmable operating modes support on-grid, off-grid and UPS-style applications.
- Parallel operation supports larger and more flexible inverter system configurations where required.
- IP65-rated enclosure provides protection against dust and water ingress for suitable installation environments.
- Wi-Fi connectivity enables remote system monitoring through the Sunsynk monitoring platform.
Applications
- Large residential solar power systems with battery backup.
- Commercial and small business hybrid solar installations.
- Backup power systems for properties with substantial electrical loads.
- Solar self-consumption systems designed to reduce dependence on grid electricity.
- Off-grid and generator-supported installations where the complete system has been correctly designed for the application.
Why Choose This Product?
The Sunsynk Plus 16kW combines high single-phase output with substantial PV capacity, battery storage support and flexible power-source management. Its three MPPT inputs, generator integration and configurable operating modes make it suitable for more demanding installations where a smaller residential inverter may not provide sufficient capacity.
Important Notes
- This is a high-power electrical product and must be installed and commissioned by a suitably qualified solar installer or electrician in accordance with South African electrical regulations and local requirements.
- Battery compatibility, BMS communication and required communication cables must be confirmed before installation.
- Correct battery protection, DC cabling, fusing, AC protection and PV string design are essential due to the high operating currents involved.
- System designers must confirm PV string voltage and current against the inverter limits before connecting solar modules.
- Warranty registration and commissioning requirements should be completed in accordance with current Sunsynk warranty conditions.
