Sungrow iHomeManager

The Sungrow iHomeManager is an innovative device designed to simplify and enhance home energy management, offering smart connectivity, system integration, and intelligent savings.

Let’s take a look at the operating modes, connection options, and configurations of the Sungrow iHomeManager.

Easy and unlimited connection for Sungrow iHomeManager

Thanks to its support for both wireless (Wi-Fi) and wired (Ethernet or RS485/WiNet) communication, installing the iHomeManager is quick and easy.

In addition, no extra meter is required thanks to the built-in metering function.

Configuration and connection with other Sungrow products

The device easily integrates multiple energy components, including inverters, batteries, EV chargers, and heat pumps, creating a unified system.

It can connect up to five inverters of the same phase (models SHxxRT, SHxxT, SGxxRT) with a total maximum capacity of 50 kW, as well as a 22 kW AC charger and an SG-ready heat pump.

The EV Charger connects to the iHomeManager via the home router, using either WLAN (Wi-Fi) or Ethernet. Once connected, it is directly managed by the device to ensure optimal performance.

The inverter can be connected to the iHomeManager via an RS485 cable or WiNet, using either WLAN (Wi-Fi) or Ethernet.

For users who wish to add a 22 kW Sungrow AC Charger to a system with SHxxT or SGxxRT inverters, the iHomeManager is required. Only through this device can smooth communication and optimal functionality be ensured.

Sungrow iHomeManager modes

This energy management device offers several modes, including:

  • Self-Consumption
  • Time-of-Use Plan
  • Smart Load
  • …and more.

These functions allow users to centralize and optimize their energy management seamlessly, maximizing self-consumption and reducing electricity costs.

The Sungrow iHomeManager settings apply to the entire system. For correct installation, specific configurations on the inverter are also required. Further details will be provided.

Moreover, the Dynamic Tariff feature is expected to be integrated soon, another step forward in flexible energy management.
