Single-phase output
Rated Power for the Whole Home
The 16K is rated 16 kW. The 18K is rated 18 kW. Both are single-phase hybrids on a 220/230 V supply (L+N+PE).
Off-grid peak is 2× rated power for 10 seconds. That peak covers short load starts. It does not raise the continuous rating, and it still depends on the battery and the rest of the system.
- 16 kW SUN-16K rated AC
- 18 kW SUN-18K rated AC
- 2× off-grid peak
- 10 s peak duration

Three trackers
Three MPPTs, Two Strings Each
Three MPPT trackers, with two strings on each tracker (2+2+2). Max. operating PV input current is 36 A per MPPT.
That is one current limit per tracker, not a separate tracker for every module. Different roof faces can sit on different trackers instead of sharing a single string voltage.
- 3 MPPT trackers
- 2 strings per MPPT
- 36 A per MPPT
- 2+2+2 string layout

Access and input
PV Access and PV Input, by Model
Max. PV access power and max. PV input power are different limits, and each pair belongs to one model.
The 16K allows 32 kW of PV access and 25.6 kW of PV input. The 18K allows 36 kW of PV access and 28.8 kW of PV input. Size the array to the model you select. Access is the higher figure. Input is the lower one.
- 32 kW 16K max. PV access
- 25.6 kW 16K max. PV input
- 36 kW 18K max. PV access
- 28.8 kW 18K max. PV input

Low-voltage battery
Charge Current Follows the Model
Battery voltage is 40–60 V, lead-acid or lithium. The battery side is isolated. There are two battery inputs.
Max. charge and discharge is 290 A on the 16K and 380 A on the 18K. Those currents are not interchangeable. Usable current still follows the battery and its BMS.
- 290 A 16K max. charge / discharge
- 380 A 18K max. charge / discharge
- 40–60 V battery range
- 2 battery inputs

Six periods
Six Windows for Charge and Discharge
Six configurable battery charge and discharge periods. Set them around the tariff and the way the site uses power through the day.
Where peak and off-peak prices apply, charging can sit in the cheaper windows and discharge can cover the expensive ones. Any tariff shown with this product is illustrative. The schedule follows the times you set.
- 6 charge / discharge periods
- Tariff illustrative only
- Daily use sets the windows

Storage retrofit
Storage on the AC Side of Existing PV
AC coupling is a retrofit path. An existing PV inverter stays on the AC bus, and this hybrid plus a battery join that bus. The array does not have to be rebuilt for storage to be added.
Compatibility is not automatic. The existing inverter, this hybrid, and the battery need a system design review before installation.
- Existing PV inverter stays
- AC bus coupling point
- Hybrid + battery storage added
- Review system design

Parallel and generator
Scale the System, On-Grid or Off-Grid
Up to 16 units in parallel, for on-grid and off-grid operation. Multiple batteries can run in parallel on the storage side. Adding units is subject to system design.
Diesel generator energy can be stored, so a generator is another path into the battery, not only a direct backup source.
- 16 max. parallel units
- On-grid and off-grid
- Generator energy storage
- Design required

Outdoor enclosure
Outdoor Cabinet, Local Control, Open Comms
IP65 means the cabinet is dust-tight and protected against water jets, so it can be mounted outdoors. A color touch LCD is on the unit for local control.
Communication is Wi-Fi, RS485, and CAN. Operating temperature is −40°C to +60°C, with power derating above 45°C.
- IP65 ingress
- LCD color touch
- Wi-Fi RS485 / CAN
- >45°C derating
