1.1 Preface
This manual will provide the users who use the SPHTL BL-US Series 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. If there are any modifications , we will not notify the user.
SPH TL BL-US inverter must be installed by professional electrical personnel who
have obtained the certification of the relevant departments. We have two kinds of
energy storage machine for different battery one is for lithium battery and the other is
for lead-acid battery, we suggest: customer should decide which kind of energy
storage machine you want, manufacturer can provide only lithium battery with energy
storage machine, customer can change to lead-acid mode while they can buy these
battery from market easily. Especially if customer choose energy storage system with
lithium battery (which must be provide by manufacturer or in the compatibility list
which provide by manufacturer) but used for lead-acid battery or used lead-acid
battery for lithium battery model, it will be dangerous. Installer can install energy
storage machine of SPHTL BL-US Series rapidly and troubleshooting, build
communication system through read this manual carefully.
1 Brief Introduction
1.2 Target Group
1.3 Product Description
SPHTL BL-US 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 TL BL-US for self consumption or when Grid power is lost, SPH TL BL-US
can be used as backup power.
SPH series has six kinds of type
SPH3000TL BL-US
SPH3600TL BL-US
SPH4000TL BL-US
SPH4600TL BL-US
SPH5000TL BL-US
SPH6000TL BL-US
Note: We describe this series as “SPH” as below.

There're two types of sensors for use with Growatt SPH. One is wired current sensor,
one is meter sensor, if you choose wired sensor or meter. Before installing you should
know something that as below:
The cable of wired sensor and meter is suggested not longer than 15m. So you need to
consider the length between SPH with combiner box for the sensor should be installed
in the live line.

5.3.1 Attention Layout（length of sensors consider）
Attention:
Battery installation requirement
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 chosen PV modules needs to positive or
negative ground connection, please contact with manufacturer for technical support
before installation.
PV modules Capacitive Discharge Currents
PV modules with large capacities relative to earth, such as thin-film PV modules with
cells on a metallic substrate, may only be used if their coupling capacity does not
exceed 470nF. During feed-in operation, a leakage current flows from the cells to
earth, the size of which depends on the manner in which the PV modules are installed
(e.g. foil on metal roof) and on the weather (rain, snow). This "normal" leakage current
may not exceed 50mA due to the fact that the inverter would otherwise automatically
disconnect from the electricity grid as a protective measure.
A complete grid-connected system of SPH consists of PV modules, SPH inverter,
battery, utility grid and other components as following:

1. Project the machine’s probably sizes on the wall, the thickness of wall for SPH must
be not less than 60mm.
2. Make sure the drill position, use paper board (installation guide), put the paper
board cling to the wall and make sure the top edge of paper board is level (As the chart
below).
3. Mark six points at the wall via the hole of the paper board, then remove the paper
board.
4. Drill six Ф8 holes at the mark point, the depth is not less than 55mm.
5. Knock six explosion bolt into Ф8 holes (As the chart below).
6. Hang the energy storage machine on the six setscrews.
7. Lock the nut of setscrew (As the chart below).

PV Array Grounding
Grounding conductor of PV panel brackets must be firmly connected to earth at PV
array side and inverter side and SP side. The sectional area of grounding conductor
should be equal to the sectional area of DC grounding conductor. The minimum wire is
AWG10.
DC Grounding
Select the DC Grounding mode according to the local standard and use the PV
grounding terminal box and DC Grounding wires of the same specification.
Grounding Device
If the positive pole or the negative pole of PV array needs to be grounded in the PV
system, the inverter output should be insulated by Isolation Transformer. Isolation
transformer must conform to UL standard.
Connection as below:

When connecting to electronic connection, please remove the cover of the wirebox
show as above and using pipe for routing cable. Pipe introduction as below.
When you connecting cable to terminal of inverter. A special terminal is suggested to
used, Bring the wire back through the crimp bead and flatten, then connect to inverter,
show as below:
SPH must be grounded by cable, the grounding point is showed as follow, and the
minimum grounding cable wire is AWG10.
