This manual will provide the users who use the SPH Series of GROWATT NEW ENERGY
TECHNOLOGY CO.LTD.SHENZHEN (Short for GROWATT New Energy as below) with the
detailed product information and the installation instructions. Please read this manual
carefully and put this manual on some place where is convenient to installation,
operation, obtain. Any modifications of GROWATT new energy, we will not notify the
user.
SPH inverter must be installed by professional electrical personnel who have obtained
the certification of the relevant departments.
We have two kinds of SPH inverter for different battery types, one is for lithium battery
and the other is for lead-acid battery. We recommend customer should decide which kind
of inverter if required prior to purchasing. GROWATT can only provide lithium battery
that is compatible with inverter, no lead-acid battery will be provided by Growatt as
customer can easily buy these from the market. It is dangerous if customer choose
inverter compatible with lithium battery (which must be provide by GROWATT) but uses it
for lead-acid battery or uses lead-acid battery for lithium battery inverter.
Installer can install SPH Series inverters rapidly, build communication system or
troubleshoot by reading this manual carefully. If you have any questions in the process of
installation, you can login in www.growatt.com and leave some message. Or you can call
our 24-hour service hotline [phone]
1.2 Target Group
1 Brief Introduction
1.1 Preface
SPH Series is used to store energy generated by the photovoltaic cell panels or energy
from grid if it is allowed in the battery, also energy can be sent to power grid through
SPH for self consumption or when Grid power is lost, SPH can be used as backup
power.
SPH series has six kinds of type:
• SPH 3000 TL BL-UP
• SPH 3600 TL BL-UP
• SPH 4000 TL BL-UP
• SPH 4600 TL BL-UP
• SPH 5000 TL BL-UP
• SPH 6000 TL BL-UP
Note: we describe this series as “SPH” as below.
Note: In different country, we provide different power. Such as in Germany, we can
provide SPH 3000~SPH 4600TL BL-UP, but we don't provide SPH 5000TL BL-UP and
SPH 6000TL BL-UP.

1.Please be clear which kind of battery system you want, lithium battery system or lead-
acid battery system, if you choose the wrong system, SPH can't work normally.
2.Please read this manual carefully before the installation, the product warranty may be
voided if the inverter is not installed according to the instructions of this manual for
installation and cause equipment damage.
3.All the operation and connection please professional electrical or mechanical engineer.
4.During installation, please don't touch the other parts within the box.
5.All the electrical installation must comply with the local electrical safety standards.
6.If equipments needs to maintain, please contact with local specify system installation
and maintenance personnel.
7.Connecting the equipment to the grid requires permission from the local power
company
8.When install PV modules in the daytime, please turn off the PV switch, Otherwise it will
be dangerous as high terminal voltage of modules in the sunshine.

2.1 Purpose Use
As shown above, a complete grid-connected system of SPH consists of PV modules, SPH
inverter, battery, utility grid and other components.
Chart 2.1
Attention:
As the system refer to battery use, we must make sure ventilation of the service
environment and temperature control in order to prevent the danger of battery
explosion, battery recommended installation environment must be strictly in accordance
with the specification, if the specification is IP20 environment, the pollution degree of
the unit is PD2, meanwhile the temperature should be control in the 0-40℃ of indoor
ventilation and the humidity should be 5%-85%. If the chosen PV modules needs to
positive or negative ground connection, please contact with Growatt for technical
support before installation.

EPS Load
SPH-UP has an Uninterrupted Power Supply(UPS) level switch with a
maximum 16ms transfer time. But can not use it as a Uninterrupted
Power Supply(UPS) for critical scenarios like medical power source. For
maintenance purposes, a T5B-2-8400/E is needed on EPS and on-grid
side. T5B-2-8400/E is an optional choice for installers, it will provide a
power supply for EPS load when SPH-UP is under maintenance.
0.The EPS load is vacant;
1.The EPS load is powered from the EPS side;
2.The EPS load is powered from the Grid side.
