This means buying your solar hybrid inverter, battery, and solar panels from one provider, like Jinko. This approach eliminates compatibility issues and offers Jinko a commercial opportunity. However, while Jinko puts its name on these products, they&#8217;re not the manufacturer of the inverter or battery units &#8212; that look very similar to Growatt units&#8230;\r\n\r\nThe drawback with vertical integration is that companies sometimes make major mistakes when moving into an unfamiliar area, such as providing a battery with a crap warranty.\r\n\r\n<div id=\"attachment_77673\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-77673\" class=\"wp-image-77673 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/suntank-installed.jpg\" alt=\"Jinko Suntank battery installation.\" width=\"600\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/suntank-installed.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/suntank-installed-300x281.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-77673\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Suntank battery and hybrid inverter installed at Encounter Bay in South Australia.

Doing so allows you to maximise your solar panel capacity to the limits of the inverter, rather than being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/beat-solar-oversize-rule\/\">restricted to 133% of inverter capacity<\/a> &#8211; as per the outdated stupid CEC rules.\r\n\r\nThe Suntank hybrid inverter approximately doubles your panel capacity, depending on its size:\r\n\r\n<img

weather is lousy.\r\n<h2>Suntank Battery Tech Specs<\/h2>\r\nHere are the <a href=\"https:\/\/jinkosolarenergystorage.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Datasheet-JKS-B51XXX-BI.pdf\">Suntank

most important details below.\r\n<h2 id=\"storage-capacity\">Battery Storage Capacity<\/h2>\r\nThe Suntank battery uses 2.3kWh modules (usable). \u00a0Because it&#8217;s low-voltage, just one module can be used for 2.3kWh.\u00a0 But if you want more, you can stack up to 10 for a maximum 23kWh.\r\n\r\n<div id=\"attachment_77643\" style=\"width: 785px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img

class=\"wp-caption-text\">Useable energy storage when new is 2.3kWh per Suntank module. \u00a01 to 10 can be used in a single stack.<\/p><\/div>\r\n<h2 id=\"power-output\">Continuous Power<\/h2>\r\nTwo factors determine the Suntank&#8217;s continuous power output:\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>The number of battery modules.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The power output of the hybrid inverter.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nEach battery module provides 1.28kW of power, up to a maximum of 5.1kW:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>1 module = 1.28kW<\/li>\r\n \t<li>2 modules = 2.56kW<\/li>\r\n \t<li>3 modules = 3.84kW<\/li>\r\n \t<li>4+ modules = 5.1kW<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nWhile you can theoretically get 5.1kW of continuous power with 4 or more modules, you&#8217;ll never get this with the Jinko Suntank inverter because its maximum continuous charging and discharging power maxes out at 4kW<sup class='endnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/jinkos-suntank-battery-improved-warranty\/#en-73428-1' id='enref-73428-1' onclick='return hhEndnotes_show(73428)'>1<\/a><\/sup>\r\n\r\nThe maximum continuous AC battery power based on the Jinko Suntank hybrid inverter capacity is as follows:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>3kW Suntank inverter = 3kW of continuous battery power.\u00a0 (With 3+ modules.)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>3.6kW Suntank inverter = 3.68kW of continuous battery power.\u00a0 (With 3+ modules.)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>4kW or larger Suntank inverter = 4kW of continuous battery power.\u00a0 (With 4+ modules.)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nI recommend having enough battery modules to at least supply the maximum continuous power your inverter can provide.\r\n<h2 id=\"backup\">Fast Switching Backup Power<\/h2>\r\nA Suntank inverter and battery combination can supply backup power equal to the amount of continuous power the system can provide.\u00a0 The changeover to backup power is very fast at 10 milliseconds or less.\u00a0 This means you shouldn&#8217;t be able to notice the switch to backup power when the grid fails.\u00a0 The Suntank battery can also charge from the solar panels during a blackout, so it&#8217;s possible to have backup power through a long-term blackout.\r\n\r\n<div id=\"attachment_77674\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\"

I notice the Jinko install video overlooks the need for a bypass switch.\r\n<h2 id=\"specs\">Size &amp; Weight of\u00a0 the Jinko Suntank Battery<\/h2>\r\nEach battery module measures:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Width 65cm<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Depth 26cm<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Height 18.5cm<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nA stack of 10 will be around 1.84 metres tall<sup class='endnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/jinkos-suntank-battery-improved-warranty\/#en-73428-2' id='enref-73428-2' onclick='return hhEndnotes_show(73428)'>2<\/a><\/sup>. If there are more than six modules, Jinko recommends making two stacks.\r\n\r\nEach module weighs 28kg, so if you have 10 modules, it will weigh a tonne.\u00a0 Well, a tonne minus about 700kg, but that&#8217;s still pretty heavy.\r\n<h2 id=\"installation\">Installation Location<\/h2>\r\nThe Suntank battery&#8217;s Ingress Protection rating is IP65.\u00a0 This means it can be installed outside and can resist rain.\u00a0 But the <a href=\"https:\/\/jinkosolarenergystorage.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Installation-Manual-JKS-B51XXX-BI-Series.pdf\">Suntank installation manual<\/a> states it should be installed under shelter and out of direct rain.\u00a0 It also says it should be installed out of direct sunlight.\u00a0 This will help prevent it from getting hot, which can affect its performance and lifespan.\r\n\r\nBecause the Suntank is a low-voltage battery, it is connected to its hybrid inverter with thick, heavy cables, and the battery can&#8217;t be more than 1.5m away from the inverter.\r\n<h2 id=\"temperature\">Operating Temperature<\/h2>\r\nThe operating temperature of the Suntank battery ranges from -10\u00b0C to 50\u00b0C.\u00a0 In reality, it can discharge energy within that temperature range but only charge when the temperature is over 0\u00b0C.\u00a0 Not being able to charge when it&#8217;s below freezing is normal for lithium batteries.\u00a0 The maximum operating temperature of 50\u00b0C is better than many other batteries and useful because you don&#8217;t want it to conk out in the middle of a heatwave.\r\n\r\nThe Suntank hybrid inverter&#8217;s temperature range is -25\u00b0 to 65\u00b0, so the battery&#8217;s operating temperature will be the limiting factor.\r\n<h2 id=\"noise\">Operating Noise<\/h2>\r\nThe Suntank battery modules don&#8217;t have active cooling systems, so they should be mostly silent but may produce an electronic hum.\u00a0 No figure is given on its datasheet for noise.\u00a0 Hopefully, this is because it&#8217;s too quiet to worry about.\r\n\r\nThe Suntank hybrid inverter also doesn&#8217;t have a figure for noise, but as it doesn&#8217;t have a cooling fan it should also be fairly quiet.\r\n<h2 id=\"price\">Jinko Suntank Battery Cost<\/h2>\r\nWhat you can expect to pay for a Suntank battery depends on the number of battery modules.\u00a0 Here are estimates for 3-5 modules:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>3 modules with 6.9kWh of usable storage:\u00a0 $8,000<\/li>\r\n \t<li>4 modules with 9.2kWh of usable storage:\u00a0 $10,000<\/li>\r\n \t<li>5 modules with 11.5kWh of usable storage:\u00a0 $12,000<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nYou&#8217;ll also need a hybrid inverter.\u00a0 How much that will cost will depend on its size, but you can expect it to set you back over $2,000.\u00a0 Installation is an additional expense.\u00a0 I recommend going for the best installer you can find, rather than the cheapest. Especially if you want a neat installation, backup that works when you need it and a bypass switch.\r\n<h2>The Improved Warranty<\/h2>\r\nThe old Suntank warranty was so bad I couldn&#8217;t recommend the battery to anyone.\u00a0 Not even people I didn&#8217;t like<sup class='endnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/jinkos-suntank-battery-improved-warranty\/#en-73428-3' id='enref-73428-3' onclick='return hhEndnotes_show(73428)'>3<\/a><\/sup>.\r\n\r\n<div id=\"attachment_77656\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-77656\" class=\"size-full wp-image-77656\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/suntank-alignment.jpg\" alt=\"Diagram showing location of old warranty on Good\/Evil chart.\" width=\"440\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/suntank-alignment.jpg 440w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/suntank-alignment-300x295.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-77656\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I marked with an &#8220;X&#8221; where I thought the old Suntank warranty should go on this chart.<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\nBut the new warranty is far superior &#8212; while still not being wonderful.\u00a0 But I&#8217;ve yet to find a battery warranty I&#8217;d call wonderful.\r\n\r\nThe main features of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/jinko-suntank-warranty-new.pdf\">Jinko Suntank Warranty<\/a> are:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Maximum duration of 10 years if connected to the internet, 5 years otherwise.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The battery will retain a minimum of 60% of its original capacity.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The warranty ends once it supplies 3,050kWh of stored energy per kWh of usable capacity.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The smart meter and wireless module accessories have 2-year warranties.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nIf, on average, a Suntank battery has its full usable capacity discharged daily, its warranty will end after 8 years and 4 months. It&#8217;s not unusual for a battery to be used at around 80% capacity factor or less, so it should last 10 years for many households.\r\n\r\nThe Suntank hybrid inverter warranty, provided it&#8217;s connected to the internet, lasts 10 years.\u00a0 This means you won&#8217;t have to worry about its warranty ending before the battery&#8217;s.\r\n<h2>A Welcome Addition<\/h2>\r\nNow the Jinko Suntank battery has an acceptable warranty; it&#8217;s a welcome addition to the Australian home battery marketplace. \u00a0I expect Jinko Australia to stand behind its new and improved warranty.\r\n\r\nThe maximum of 4kW of continuous power supplied with a Suntank hybrid inverter is less than the 5kW many other battery systems can supply. However, it&#8217;s still an acceptable discharge power for many households.\u00a0 The Suntank also has the advantage that just one or two modules can be used for a very small <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/\">solar battery storage system<\/a> if that&#8217;s all you require.\u00a0 However, if you&#8217;re like most people, you&#8217;ll want more storage, and you can get that by stacking the modules.\r\n\r\n\n\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article is all about the Jinko Suntank Battery&#8217;s technical specs.\u00a0 Two months ago, I wrote about its terrible warranty and decided no one in their right mind should buy it.
