These numbers are calculated, not stated: they have no source to cite, they have a formula you can redo. The price used is the manufacturer's list price, which is stable and the same in every country — not a shop's price on the day.
Pros and cons
In favour
- It expands by placing more units side by side, up to 64 units and 983 kWh.
- The charge-discharge efficiency is at least 95%.
- The manufacturer lists Victron Energy, SMA and Sungrow among the compatible inverters; the list is not exhaustive.
- The system's 2 modules stack on top of each other to save space.
Worth knowing
- The warranty ends at 47.46 MWh of minimum throughput energy or after ten years, whichever comes first: anyone who charges and discharges the battery every day can reach the cap sooner.
- The warranty does not apply with an inverter outside BYD's list of certified inverters: check that yours is on the list before buying.
- The specified mounting is on the floor: free floor space is needed in the installation room.
