Manufacturer Warranty Details
Sunsynk offers a 5-year warranty on this product, however, in order for the manufacturer warranty to be fully valid, once installed, you MUST register your inverter here within 7 days of commsisioning: https://www.sunsynk.org/warranty
Hi, Will a 5kw Sunsynk Inverter work with a 48v Lead acid battery bank?
I used to have a 5kv MicroCare inverter.
Hi Paul, yes the Sunsynk can work with lead acid batteries.
Good evening, What is the difference in performance in plain simple explanation between a 3kWh and a 5kWh inverters… and is there a way to see on the inverter itself which one is 3KWh or 5 kWh (Is there a way to see which inverter is which?) Thanks you
Hi Liezel, inverters are described in kW, not kWh. kWh measures energy storage capacity and applies to batteries.
kW's describe the amount of instantaneous power an inverter can deliver. The spec sheet of the model of inverter you have will tell you it's output power if it is not shown on the inverter itself.

Hi there. If I wanted to use this as a home inverter running solely on batteries (without solar initially), could I do this with a single/double Hubble AM2 battery? (100ah). Also, what is the max charge rate in amps on AC charge?
Hi Zach, yes you could. In fact, we offer this kit here: https://www.solar-shop.co.za/backup-power-kits/761-sunsynk-5kw-inverter-and-battery-package-solar-ready.html
You can charge the battery at 100A, but a slower charge will look after the battery better
Hi. Please advise if a ct coil is included with the 5kw inverter. Thanks
Hi Eddie, yes, the CT coil comes standard with the inverter.
Good day, I have 24 x 325w Canadian Solar panels (4 strings of 6 panels) connected to a Solis 10 KW grid tie inverter. I would like to replace the Solis with a Hybrid Inverter. Can the 5kw Sunsynk work with my current setup?
Hi, yes it can, although the panel production will clip at around 6500W.
Good Day - What make of panel and battery would you recommend to complete the system ?
Hi Greg, at this time, Sunsynk are offering an extended warranty of 10 years if you buy this inverter together with a Sunsynk battery:

The Freedom Won e-Tower is also good match: https://www.solar-shop.co.za/freedom-won-lithium-ion-batteries/657-freedom-won-etower-lifepo4-battery-5kw-52v.html
as is the Hubble AM-2: https://www.solar-shop.co.za/hubble/527-hubble-55kw-lithium-am-2.html
In terms of panels, our JA Solar or Canadian Solar panels are both equally good, so any of these will be suitable.
Morning Could I eventually push power back to Eskom if I want to at a later stage
Hi Melvin, yes this inverter is capable of doing this.
I have a micro inverter setup installed (Hoymiles 1.2kW) in a grid tied configuration. This needs a reference power signal (aka Eskom) in order to output power to my local grid. Is it possible to use the Sunsynk inverter to act as a source (ie. grid connection in anti-islanding mode) so that the generated power from the solar array can be used (during load shedding) either as self consumption or to charge batteries? My plan is to add backup battery supply for use in evenings, and also to accommodate during load shedding. Please advise if this could be done. Thanks!
Hi Frans, yes it is. The Sunsynk has an auxiliary port for this purpose.
Do these allow for parallel operation e.g 2x 5kW systems to sum up to 10kW, this is for extra reliabilty in a remote off grid location incase one fails.
Hi Matthew, yes the units can be paralleled.
Hi, do I need to purchase a communication cable with this, to use it with the pylontech 2.4kw battery? There is a battery cable kit on this site, but it mentions that the communication cable is no longer included.
Hi Bruno, no. The Sunsynk comes with a CAN cable you can use for this purpose.
Hi, thanks for the answer. So i i assume if the demand is more than 30 minutes and greater than peak, i.e. between 5-8kw, it will then switch to grid completely meaning it wont split the load (5kw solar and 3kw grid). For the 8kw, what is then the peak?
Hi Yash
Hi, what happens if power demand is greater than 5KW, say 8KW. Can it pull the extra 3KW from the grid?
Hi Yash, it will operate normally up to 5000W. Then up to 5500W for half an hour. Between 5.5kW and 8kW it will switch over to pass through and use only electricity. Above 8kW it will shut down completely.
Can the Sunsynk 5kW Hybrid inverter operate and supply power to the house without AC power from the Grid?
Hi Lloyd, yes it can.
Is the Sunsynk inverter on the City of Cape Town approved supplier list? Is it interchangeable with the Deye inverter? Thanks, Diarmaid
Hi Diarmaid, yes and yes (Deye and Sunsynk have slightly different interfaces but are the same machine physically).
You can find the City of Cape Town approved inverter list here
Is there software to monitor, manage and store data to evaluate performance
Hi Boet, there is, yes. You can set up an account here: https://home.solarman.cn/login.html
Does the Sunsynk inverter have two MPPT trackers? Is it transformerless? Does it have a heat sink or fan or what cooling system does it have?
Hi Louis. Yes, 2 MPPT's, transformerless and fans for cooling.
Regarding the pass through of 35A, is this in addition to the inverter's 25A for a max output of 60A total? Or is the total maximum 35A?
Hi Phillip, it's a max of 35A.
Good Day, So the WIFI Module is include? What is the warrantee on the unit?
Hi Rossouw, yes the wifi dongle is included. The manufacturers warranty is 5 years.
I assumed that this inverter can only handle a peak power of 200% capacity for +- 10 seconds. Yet is says Peak power off-grid is 2 times the rates power. So what is the peak power on-grind? Or is it the same? What I also don't understand is that the spec sheet said Max Continuous AC passthrough (A) = 35A. Does this mean that if the normal rating of 5000Watt is exceeded for to long then it will "by pass" and only use Grid power to support a load of up to +- 8000 Watt (35 Amp)? Or is the Max power on-grid over 10000watt? Also why does the spec sheet say that Rated AC Output is 5000W, but Max AC. Power is 5500w? Does this mean that it can handle 5500Watt load continuously?
Hi Frank
Peak power = 10kW for 10 seconds
Passthrough @ 35A refers to when the inverter is connected to grid power. In this case the backup load can pull 35A e.g. 35A @ 230V = 8.05KW
Rated power = 5kW (this is your max continuous draw in backup mode (during grid failure)
Max power = 5,5kW should not be operted at this level for more than 30 minutes.
