The Sunsynk 48 V Single-Phase Hybrid Inverter series comprises three scalable models (5.5 kW, 8.8 kW, 16 kW) offering flexible hybrid energy management for residential and small commercial applications. They seamlessly integrate solar PV, grid power, batteries, and generator inputs in various operational modesโgrid-tied, off-grid, battery-only, or UPS. Built for resilience, these inverters deliver high efficiency, robust protection, IP65-rated housing, and remote monitoring capabilities. With a 5-year warranty and support for lithium or lead-acid batteries, these inverters are well-suited to power appliances and critical loads in Tanzaniaโs energy market, especially where grid reliability is variable.
5.5 kW Hybrid Inverter Benefits & Features:
- Designed for homes/small businesses to control energy costs by prioritizing solar, battery, or grid usage.
- Fast transfer (<10 ms) ensures reliability during outages.
- IP65 protects against dust and rainโcritical for Tanzanian climates.
- Bi-directional battery support allows both lithium-ion and lead-acid, with smart BMS adaptation.
- Expandable system: start with just inverter + battery, add solar later, or vice versa
8.8 kW Hybrid Inverter Benefits & Features:
- Scalable solution for larger household or small commercial sites in Tanzania.
- Higher charger amperage enables faster battery recharge or larger battery banks.
- Adaptable to grid instability and backup needsโideal for homes with heavy appliance use (e.g., fridges, washing machines).
- Efficient energy management with programmability and PV integration.
16 kW Hybrid Inverter Benefits & Features:
- Most powerful low-voltage hybrid inverter globallyโsuitable for medium-sized businesses or large residential setups.
- Three MPPT channels support flexible PV array layouts for better yields.
- Remote monitoring and smart features enable sophisticated energy management strategies.
- Can parallel multiple units (up to 15 in three-phase configuration) to scale towards 240 kW
Use Cases & Value Propositions in Tanzania
- Reliable Backup Power: Quick switchover (<10 ms) ensures minimal disruptions during frequent load shedding.
- Reduction in Electricity Costs: Optimize solar, battery, and grid usage with programmable export and time-of-use settings.
- Scalable for Growth: Begin with a small setup and gradually expand (especially with 5.5 kW and 8.8 kW models).
- Robust Against Climate: IP65 rating protects in dusty and humid conditions typical in Tanzania.
- Remote Monitoring: WiFi/BMS connections allow remote system supervisionโkey for remote areas with limited technical support.
- Flexibility in Battery Choice: Supports both lithium-ion and lead-acid, aligning with local availability and budgets.
Local Market Positioning in Tanzania
- Affordability & Flexibility: The 5.5 kW model offers an economical entry point for homeowners; 8.8 kW serves growing families/businesses; 16 kW caters to larger enterprises or institutions.
- Resilience for Grid Instability: With frequent power cuts, these inverters meet the demand for uninterrupted energy.
- Reduced Operational Costs: High efficiency and programmable energy flows (solar prioritization, smart load) mean lower electricity bills and better ROI.
- Support Ecosystem Growth: With official distributors and installers available in nearby regions (e.g., South Africa, UK), support networks can be established or leveraged in Tanzania
- Future Scalability: The 16 kW modelโs parallel capability allows future expansion as energy needs grow.
