Installation Swatten Hybrid Inverter
Installation Requirements
This single-phase solar inverter is designed for indoor use (IP20) in dry, well-ventilated spaces. Ideal operating temperature: 15°C–30°C; humidity ≤ 95%, altitude ≤ 2000m. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, or flammable gases. Proper conditions help ensure long-term reliability—one reason Swatten earns strong hybrid inverter reviews.
Tools & Safety Gear
Installers should use an electric drill, wire stripper, level ruler, and torque wrench. Required safety gear includes insulated gloves, protective shoes, and anti-static wristbands. Always follow Australian standards.
Battery Installation (Summary)
- Connect battery cables (ensure polarity, use MC4).
- Turn on battery breaker, then inverter.
- Confirm BMS communication via LCD or app.
Clearance Guidelines
Allow at least 30 cm on sides, 20 cm top/bottom, and 50 cm front. These clearances support cooling and prevent overheating—vital for maintaining peak performance of your Swatten inverter.

Swatten
Swatten is a growing hybrid inverter manufacturer (a subsidiary of Sieyuan Electric) with over 30 years of power electronics experience. Backed by strong technical R&D in power conversion and battery management, Swatten develops reliable, user-friendly solar inverters for homes and small businesses. As one of the notable hybrid inverter brands, it offers a range of single-phase and three-phase models tailored to residential needs. Installers and solar resellers appreciate Swatten inverters for their blend of advanced features, solid build quality, and good support networks through authorized suppliers. The Swatten inverter line is increasingly recognized for innovation, performance and value in the hybrid inverter market.
Yes. The Swatten 5kW/6kW inverter is designed for common residential battery systems. It supports a broad DC voltage range (about 80–460 V for Li-ion batteries) and uses standard MC4 battery connectors. This covers the voltage of most lithium-ion battery packs used in Aussie homes. Always check that your battery’s nominal voltage falls within the inverter’s range.
The primary difference is output capacity. The SiH-5kW-SH provides up to 5 kW continuous AC output, while the SiH-6kW-SH provides up to 6 kW. Both share the same design, efficiency and features. The 6kW model can handle larger loads and slightly higher PV input currents. Physical size, weight (20 kg) and installation method are essentially the same for both models.
Yes. The Swatten hybrid inverter has configurable export-limiting, allowing you to comply with zero-export rules by capping power sent to the grid. It also offers full backup capability: if the grid goes down, it can automatically power critical circuits (up to 5–6 kW) with battery/stored energy. Backup switching is very fast (<10 ms), so sensitive devices keep running.
Very efficient – up to ~98% peak conversion efficiency. This is on par with or better than many other hybrid inverters in its class. High efficiency means more of your solar DC is converted to usable AC power (and less wasted as heat), which translates to higher energy yields and lower electricity costs over time.
Swatten inverters are built for durability. They carry a 10-year factory warranty and use industrial-grade components with IP65 sealing, so they resist dust and heat. Under normal Aussie rooftop conditions, you can expect 15–20 years of service with proper installation and maintenance – similar to other leading hybrid inverter brands.
