We recently installed a Solar and Battery system on this home in Woodlands for our customer, David. The 16.72kW of Jinko Tiger Neo solar panels are connected to a 15kW Sungrow Hybrid inverter (SH15T) and 20kWh Sungrow SBH Battery.
David already had a 3.5kW system installed 12-years ago. But with plans to convert his home to all-electric, it was time for an upgrade. The 15kW Sungrow Hybrid inverter was chosen for 3 main reasons:
- Triple MPPT allowed the new solar panels to be split North, East & West for a wider spread of solar power production throughout the day.
- 15kW max AC power output allows the system to supply even the highest loads such as his large air-conditioning unit without drawing additional power from the grid
- Blackout Backup capability for blackout protection. Most other systems are suitable for backing up essential circuits only.
This 16.72kW Solar & Battery system in Woodlands can produce an average of 68 kWh per day, while the 20kWh battery stack can be expanded to 40kWh if need be.

4-month savings update
Installed in December, it has been 4 months now since we installed this Solar & Battery system in Woodlands. Let us check out how David’s savings are going so far…
Total Energy Usage = 6,510 kWh = 53.8 kWh per day on average.
- From Solar & Battery = 5,390 kWh = 82.8% self sufficiency
- From Grid = 1,120 kWh
Total Savings so far = $1,702
With new Battery Rebates recently announced, David enquired about expanding his 20kWh battery. We advised an additional 10kWh would suffice, but he decided to expand the battery to a full 40kWh stack instead. The extra battery capacity will allow David to run his air-conditioner even more freely throughout the hot Summers and cold Winters. He might even achieve 100% self-sufficiency!
