Chapter 3 Product Information
3.1 Application Scope of Products
Sunfree series products are hybrid solar inverters without transformers, and the
inverters are important components of energy storage systems.
The Sunfree inverters change the DC generated by solar panels into AC which is in
accordance with the requirements of public grid and send the AC into the grid,
Reduce the load pressure of the grid.
When the grid failure, provide 230V AC source to supply important loads,
achieve off-grid backup power supply function.

Sunfree Series inverters, starting from the date of shipment from SAJ factory or 60
months (5 years) starting from the date of purchased invoice marked (whichever is
longer).
Extension of Warranty
The purchaser of SAJ inverters (Sununo-TL Series inverters & Suntrio-TL Series
inverters and Sununo Plus Series inverters & Suntrio Plus Series inverters &
Sunfree Series inverters) should extend the warranty period in 18 months from the
date of settlement or 30 months from the date of shipment from SAJ by providing
the serial number of the unit and purchased receipt (whichever is shorter). You can
purchase the warranty extension for 10 years, 15 years, 20 years or 25 years but do
