| Certifications | BAT-995 lists all six exact APX S0 AU configurations, approved 23 April 2026 and expiring 31 December 2027., EESS-230870-1 lists all seven exact MIN TL-XH2 inverters, approved 10 July 2024 and expiring 10 July 2027. | The exact BAT-10.1P datasheet lists IEC 62619, IEC 63056, IEC 62040 and UN 38.3; the SMILE-G3-S5 AU system datasheet lists AS 4777.2 and IEC 62109. |
|---|
| Warranty scope | Ten years for APX S0 AU from the date of customer purchase and no more than ten years and three months from Growatt delivery, subject to the cycle schedule, monitoring requirement and the governing exclusions. The warranty card applies to use with Growatt storage devices and gives SPA, SPH and SPF series as examples without naming MIN TL-XH2 (pages 1 and 3). | Australia; the 11 October 2024 warranty names SMILE-G3-S5 and BAT-10.1P with a ten-year term, 70% retained capacity and a 3.12 MWh/kWh throughput condition for eligible installations from 1 November 2024. |
|---|
| Warranty remedy | Growatt chooses repair, onsite repair or an equivalent-value replacement based on model and age, and the remainder of the warranty transfers to the replacement without restarting the period (pages 3 and 4). In the latter five years Growatt may instead buy the battery back at a pro-rata price or renew it with a newer-technology battery at a price payable by the customer, and Australian Consumer Law guarantees are expressly preserved (pages 4 and 7). | Repair or replacement at AlphaESS's option. |
|---|
| Labour and reinstallation | The card excludes claims for labour cost and other expenditure for carrying out the warranty unless Growatt is subject to statutory liability (page 5), and states that when Growatt provides a replacement in the latter five years it is not responsible for labour cost (page 4). Australian Consumer Law guarantees that cannot be excluded are preserved (page 7). Removal and reinstallation costs are not unconditionally covered. | Clause 2 excludes travelling and accommodation costs of persons for on-site support and does not name labour as covered or excluded. The warranty requires a qualified installer to be available for exchange and re-commissioning (clause 3) and obliges the original installer to assist with replacement (clause 10); reimbursement of necessary and reasonably incurred costs of a valid claim may be claimed with documentary evidence (clauses 2 and 10). Removal and reinstallation are not promised. |
|---|
| Freight | The card excludes claims for logistics fees for carrying out the warranty unless Growatt is subject to statutory liability (page 5), and states that when Growatt provides a replacement in the latter five years it is not responsible for logistics costs (page 4). Australian Consumer Law guarantees that cannot be excluded are preserved (page 7). | Replacement-parts freight is covered for an accepted claim. |
|---|
| Transfer and registration | The governing warranty states that coverage is non-transferable. The battery and its charge and discharge device must be monitored on the Growatt monitoring platform; without monitoring the warranty reduces to three years (page 3). Installation must finish within six months of Growatt delivery, problem signs must be reported to the supplier within 14 days, and the claim form sent to Growatt within one month of failure, with the warranty card, original purchase and installation invoices and a commissioning report signed by end user and installer (pages 4 to 6). Performance claims need accumulated discharge proof, and a claim on an unmonitored battery needs a qualified onsite inspection and data collection under Growatt's instruction (pages 2 and 3). | The warranty is non-transferable except where the products remain installed in a building, in which case it transfers to a later purchaser of that building. Serial registration before a claim, and installation by an SAA-accredited installer with a valid Alpha Installer ID, are required. |

| Grid/network approval evidence | Single-phase MIN TL-XH2 Australian hybrid inverter family. DNSP settings, export limits and acceptance remain site-specific. | The exact AU system is a 5 kW, 230 V single-phase hybrid under AS 4777.2. Current project approval and installer eligibility remain installation-specific. |

| Review note | The exact MIN TL-XH2 datasheet names APX S0 only. APX S2, backup hardware, VPP participation and third-party batteries are outside this record. | AlphaESS's current 2026 Australian brochure lists SMILE-G3-S5/B5 with both BAT-10.1P and BAT-9.3S. The battery options coexist; neither is presented as the formal successor to the other. |
