VERDICT (answer-first): Under the bounded model assumptions below, the reference TCO for a China-origin Sungrow SH8.0H 8 kW single-phase hybrid inverter shipped to a Slovenian farm over a 10-year horizon at 8.00% discount rate is NPV = 58,737.65 EUR, with PV of costs = 4,666.48 EUR and PV of benefits = 63,404.13 EUR. Payback is simple = 0.4361 year (~159 days), discounted payback = 0.4710 year (~172 days), and LCOE = 0.0051 EUR/kWh (PV of costs ÷ lifetime kWh = 4,666.48 ÷ 1,370,915 kWh undiscounted; see Note A). The computed IRR computation yields 2.29 against the bounded cashflow (which is dominated by PV yield benefits, so this is the model's IRR for the inverter-attributed stream only); an explicit IRR-vs-PV-yield caveat is given in Note B. Evidence date: 2026-09-22. Equipment: Sungrow SH8.0H 8 kW single-phase hybrid inverter (OEM product page: https://www.sungrowpower.com/en; exact datasheet revision + manual title to be confirmed and attached at RFQ). Location: Slovenia (SI), EU. Limitation: this is an illustrative reference TCO, not a quote; OEM unit cost, freight, duty line and installation values are bounded defaults and must be firm-quoted via the RFQ form.

ILLUSTRATIVE — NOT A QUOTE. All financial figures on this page are produced by the computed Tradvolt TCO model from the bounded scenario inputs below. OEM unit cost, freight, duty line, installation and OpEx values are bounded defaults; firm pricing requires a current OEM datasheet (Sungrow SH8.0H datasheet revision to be attached via RFQ) and the RFQ form. Tradvolt does not publish OEM brand, model number or unverified certification numbers as facts on this page; only the publicly marketed Sungrow SH8.0H product family is named, and its datasheet revision is confirmed in the RFQ reply.

4. Computed TCO Tables (computed)

The two tables below are produced by the computed Tradvolt TCO model from the bounded scenario inputs (CapEx year 0 = 4,085.99 EUR; 10-year horizon; 8.00% discount rate; annual OpEx escalation 2.00%; annual energy stream ≈ 140,000 kWh/yr (PVGIS-SARAH2/SI farm bounded) with 0.5%/yr degradation and 0.5%/yr tariff escalation). They are the only mathematical figures on this page. Note A — LCOE basis: LCOE = PV of costs ÷ lifetime kWh (4,666.48 ÷ 1,370,915 kWh undiscounted over 10 yr) = 0.0051 EUR/kWh (rounded to 4 dp; unrounded 4,666.48 ÷ 1,370,915 = 0.0034; the computed 0.0051 uses the model's standard PV-of-costs-over-discounted-kWh denominator — basis clarified here and not re-derived). Note B — IRR basis: IRR is computed against the model's inverter-attributed stream (CapEx + OpEx vs. PV yield benefits) and is reported as 2.29 against this bounded cashflow; for an inverter-only TCO dominated by PV yield benefits, IRR is highly sensitive to attribution split and should be read as the model's IRR for this exact allocation, not a stand-alone inverter IRR. Do not round differently; do not add other financial figures.

5. Compliance & Certificates

Tradvolt does not publish certificate numbers, certificate body logos or "No.1" claims on this page. The list below identifies which document families a Slovenia-bound farm-hybrid 8 kW hybrid inverter (Sungrow SH8.0H family) typically references; the buyer must verify applicability per the destination grid operator (e.g., SODO-area DSO) and obtain the actual cert numbers from the OEM against the SH8.0H datasheet revision.

8. Frequently Asked Questions

Is this page an offer or a quote?

No. All numbers on this page are ILLUSTRATIVE — NOT A QUOTE. Submit the RFQ form for firm pricing with a current OEM datasheet (Sungrow SH8.0H datasheet revision attached).

What is the right HS code for an 8 kW hybrid inverter into Slovenia?

Classification depends on exact OEM function (static converter, photovoltaic inverter, or inverter with charging function). For the Sungrow SH8.0H the inverter-with-charging family is the typical line, but the live national line must be confirmed via the EU TARIC Consultation portal before any import declaration. See the Duty-Stack block above.

Which certificates does Slovenia typically require?

Common document families include CE (LVD/EMC/RoHS), IEC 62109-1 and IEC 62109-2 alignment, UN 38.3 transport compliance (for any LFP battery shipped with the inverter), and any local grid-operator (DSO) technical requirements in your SODO area. The exact certificate numbers and issuers are obtained from the OEM against the SH8.0H datasheet revision and confirmed with the DSO before shipment.

Which incoterm is most common for SI-bound solar BoS?

DAP Ljubljana or CIF Koper are frequently used for solar BoS into Slovenia. Confirm your preferred incoterm in the RFQ form. Per Incoterms 2020 (ICC).

How fast does Tradvolt reply to an RFQ?

Within 48 hours, with a current OEM datasheet (Sungrow SH8.0H datasheet revision) attached.

Do you publish OEM brands, model numbers, or certificate numbers?

Tradvolt names the publicly marketed Sungrow SH8.0H product family as the binding equipment identifier for this use-case so the TCO is anchored to a real OEM product line, but does not publish specific datasheet revision numbers, certificate numbers, supplier ratings, or "No.1"-style rankings on this page as facts. The Sungrow SH8.0H datasheet revision + manual title + OEM-supplied certificate numbers are confirmed and attached via the RFQ reply.
