Sunsynk 3.6kW Elite Hybrid Inverter – Single‑Phase, IP65

  • 3.6kW single‑phase hybrid inverter for managing solar, battery and grid power in one compact IP65 unit.
  • Designed for self‑consumption, backup and controlled export on small commercial and residential systems.
  • Optimised PV and battery performance with dual MPPT input (shared platform) and high conversion efficiency up to 97.6%.

The Sunsynk 3.6kW Elite Hybrid Inverter (model SS‑3.6kW‑ELITE‑HYB‑1P‑IP65‑00) is a single‑phase hybrid inverter for systems that combine solar PV, batteries and the grid. It is suitable for small commercial sites, homes, offices and light industrial loads up to 3.6kW, with the option to connect Sunsynk Elite stackable batteries for storage. With IP65 protection, high efficiency and a full set of protections, it provides a solid platform for self‑consumption, peak‑shaving and backup applications in the UK and overseas.
