EDITORIAL OPINION - BASED ON THE CITED RESEARCH
A meaningful omission from the old catalogue, especially for the large Australian Growatt installed base. Confirm the exact THOR suffix because socket, cable, communications and phase details vary.
Equipment allowance
$1,200 before professional installation.
Installation planning range
About $800–$1,500 for straightforward work; commonly $1,500–$3,000+ with longer runs, upgrades or strata complexity.
  • The THOR family has many similar model suffixes.
  • Solar and load control need compatible metering and correct commissioning.
  • Australian warranty wording should be itemised on the quote.

Ask the installer to identify the exact model, protection, CTs/meters, cable route, commissioned current and energy-platform compatibility in writing.
