1 At cos phi = 1
2 Maximum round trip efficiency shown is calculated using the single cycle round trip efficiency (SCRTE) formula used by SGIP administration in the State of California, as of the
date of publication of this Spec Sheet.
3 In off-grid mode, the battery has a maximum charge limitation of 4.48 kW for 1 system, 8.3 kW for a 2 stack system and 11.8 kW for a 3 stack system. In off-grid mode, exceeding
these limits (accounting for load) will cause the microgrid to fail.
4 Please observe our applicable warranty conditions.
5 The sM4 battery modules are 5.5kWh in total capacity and represent 5kWh of usable capacity per module.
