Our opinion

The buying view.

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.

Cons and watch-outs

What to verify.

  • 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.
