Growatt unveils battery-ready inverter for Australia

Growatt, a global leader in inverters and renewable energy solutions, has introduced its new MIN 2.5-6KTL-XH2 Battery-Ready Inverter and APX-S0 Battery to the Australian market.

The single-phase MIN 2.5-6KTL-XH2 inverter can initially be used as an on-grid solar inverter, and later upgraded to an energy storage system when needed. This future-proofed design signals Growatt’s move towards integrating energy storage capabilities across its inverter lineup.

Key features of the MIN 2.5-6KTL-XH2 include a 16A DC input current and 24A short-circuit current, enabling compatibility with most solar panels. When paired with a battery, the inverter achieves an impressive 200 per cent DC oversizing capability to maximise solar utilisation by charging the battery and feeding excess power to the grid simultaneously.

To comply with Australian regulations like the 5kW export limit per phase in many states, Growatt offers flexible solutions incorporating CT and smart meter connectivity. The inverter also comes pre-integrated with the CSIP-AUS dynamic export limit function for South Australia and Victoria at no extra cost.

Complementing the battery-ready inverter is Growatt’s APX-S0 lithium battery series with 5-30kWh capacity in a modular design using safe LFP chemistry. Each 5kWh module can be combined to meet residential energy storage needs, while an IP66 ingress rating ensures durability in harsh Australian conditions.

The APX-S0 battery is currently awaiting final Australian certification, with the MIN 2.5-6KTL-XH2 inverter already available for purchase nationwide through Growatt’s distribution channels.
