Growatt SPH 10000 TL3-BH-UP

This is the inverter that coordinates the whole system of a three-phase house with panels and a battery: it sends the current first to the loads in the home, then into the battery, and what is left into the grid. In the evening or during an outage the process is reversed and the house is supplied from the battery. The switchover to backup takes less than a hundredth of a second.

The 10,000 W covers a large house, with heavy loads such as a heat pump or an electric car charger, and during an outage the backup output delivers the same power. The panel array can reach 15,000 W, 50% above the inverter's power, which compensates in the morning, in the evening and on cloudy days. The power can go entirely onto a single phase if the consumption is there, and the grid feed-in can be limited separately on each phase. The high-voltage battery charges and discharges at a maximum of 25 A. The IP65 enclosure allows outdoor installation, it weighs 30 kg and consumes under 13 W at night.

Who it suits

Suitable for a large three-phase house or a small company, with a heat pump and electric car charging, that wants 10-15 kWp of panels and a high-voltage battery.

Terms explained

• High-voltage (HV) battery: A battery of modules connected in series, at 100-550 V; at the same power, a lower current flows through the cables than with a 48 V battery.
• Per-phase feed-in limitation: The setting by which the inverter does not send more into the grid than the operator allows, controlled separately for each of the three phases.
• European efficiency 97.5%: The average efficiency over a real year, with many hours at partial power, not only at maximum power; it is the figure that matters for the annual output.

Technical details

Specifications confirmed from the manufacturer's datasheet

The Growatt SPH 10000TL3 BH-UP is the top model of the three-phase hybrid family SPH 4000-10000TL3 BH-UP, with 10 kW rated power. It has two independent MPPT trackers, one string per input, a maximum DC voltage of 1000 V, an MPPT range of 120-1000 V (nominal 600 V) and 13.5 A maximum current per MPPT (Isc 16.9 A). The maximum recommended photovoltaic power is 15000 W, therefore a DC/AC ratio of up to 1.5.

On AC it supplies 10000 W / 10000 VA at 230/400 V, 3W+N+PE, with 15.2 A maximum current, THDi under 3% and a power factor adjustable between 0.8 capacitive and 0.8 inductive. It supports 100% unbalanced output across phases and feed-in limitation at phase level. The high-voltage battery is connected in the 100-550 V range (lithium or lead-acid), with 25 A maximum charge/discharge current, and the backup output provides 10000 W / 10000 VA with switchover under 10 ms.

Maximum efficiency 98.2%, European efficiency 97.5%, MPPT efficiency 99.9%. Transformerless IP65 enclosure, natural cooling, 505x453x198 mm, 30 kg, operating temperature -25...+60 C, night-time consumption under 13 W. It includes type II SPD on DC and AC, DC disconnector, grid and insulation monitoring, anti-islanding and RCMU. RS485/CAN/USB communication, LCD+LED display, optional RF/WiFi/GPRS monitoring. Certified CE, IEC 62109, IEC 62040, VDE-AR-N 4105, EN 50549, CEI 0-21 and 0-16, IEC 61727/62116, G98.
