Overview

SGS-12K18MAX Overview

The Sungold Power SGS-12K18MAX brings solar, battery storage and the grid together in one 12kW all-in-one hybrid inverter. Its 200A continuous pass-through means it can sit between the meter and a 200A main panel and back up the entire house - not just a critical-loads sub-panel - and switch to battery in 10ms when the grid drops.

Two MPPT trackers accept 9,000W each (18kW total) with a 550Vdc maximum and 125-450Vdc operating range. The inverter is UL1741 SB, IEEE 1547-2018 and California Rule 21 certified, so it can export excess solar to the grid where net metering is available, and it also supports AC coupling with an existing grid-tied PV inverter. Paired with the PowerMax 51.2V 314Ah outdoor battery it forms a UL 9540 certified energy storage system, which simplifies permitting.

Choose 120/240V split-phase or 120/208V three-phase output, parallel up to six units for 72kW, and manage everything - hybrid grid modes, PV and battery energy management, peak shaving and time-of-use - from the LCD or the mobile app. The IP65 enclosure allows indoor or outdoor mounting.

FAQ

SGS-12K18MAX Common Questions

Q1

Can the SGS-12K18MAX feed power back to the grid?

Yes. It is UL1741 SB / IEEE 1547-2018 certified and supports grid export, zero-export and self-consumption modes, subject to your utility interconnection agreement.

Q2

Does it back up my whole house?

Yes. The 200A continuous pass-through rating lets it be installed on a 200A main service and carry the entire panel, with up to 12kW from the battery during an outage.

Q3

What battery should I pair it with?

The PowerMax 16.07kWh 51.2V 314Ah outdoor battery is the certified UL 9540 match. CoreX 5 Pro / Elite and other 48V CAN/RS485 lithium batteries also work.

Q4

Can it be installed outdoors?

Yes. The IP65 enclosure is rated for indoor or outdoor mounting, with an operating range of -13°F to 140°F.
