| model | SH5.0RT |
| mpn | UNKNOWN |
| order_code | UNKNOWN |
| phase_configuration | three-phase |
| product_family | SH-RT (3-phase residential hybrid) |
| product_status | UNKNOWN |
| product_status_evidence | Model still listed on Sungrow's official product pages / current datasheets as of 2026-09-03; no explicit lifecycle statement was located. |
| region | AU / IEC (values below from the EN(AU) V15 datasheet unless noted) |
| release_year | UNKNOWN |

| subcategory | residential hybrid / storage inverter |
| topology | Transformerless (solar) / Transformerless (battery) |
| variant_note | DISTINCT from SH5.0RT-20. The -20 hardware raises per-string DC current from 12.5 A to 13.5 A and widens the MPP window; it also pairs with a different meter (DTSU666-20 vs DTSU666). Nothing has been carried across. |
