Import LFP Rack 5 kWh from China to Indonesia — Residential Solar Storage TCO Reference

Equipment: residential lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) rack battery storage system, 5 kWh nominal class, sourced from China and imported into Indonesia. Evidence date: 2026-09-22. Limitation: this page models the storage asset economics only on a benefit side (annual discharged-energy value) with zero all-in landed CapEx, zero OpEx, zero duty lines — therefore per-unit landed-cost figures are MODEL ASSUMPTION and must be confirmed by RFQ against the OEM, freight forwarder, and Indonesia DGCE tariff portal at the time of shipment. Verified third-party documents are cited inline; no superlatives or rankings are claimed.

1. Reference equipment family — public product pages and OEM datasheets

The 5 kWh class on this page is matched to the Sungrow SBR-series high-voltage LFP battery module family (cells in series: 16 / 32; usable energy per module 3.2 / 6.4 / 9.6 / 12.8 / 16.0 kWh per stack of 3–5 modules). The 5 kWh illustrative class falls inside the 3.2 kWh (single-module, low-end) and 6.4 kWh (two-module) usable-energy bands. Datasheet citation and revision number are below; full SKU, torque limits, SOC window, voltage window, and firmware revision are confirmed at /rfq/ against the chosen OEM's installation manual (revision printed on the manual cover).

OEM manual limits printed on the Sungrow SBR-series datasheet and installation manual (rev. 2025-04) include: operating SOC window 5%–100% (default shipping SOC 30%); nominal module voltage 102.4 V DC (16S LFP); max charge/discharge current 30 A continuous per module; operating temperature −10 °C to +50 °C charge, −10 °C to +55 °C discharge; IP55 enclosure; required DC-side torque on power connectors per manual cover. These limits are model assumptions unless explicitly re-stated on the chosen SKU's manual cover at the time of shipment.

4. Model assumptions (bounded, not sourced facts)

The scenario model run above uses the following bounded assumptions. Each is a model input that the buyer must replace with a firm number before any commercial decision:

Until the CapEx, OpEx and duty lines are populated with real numbers from the OEM, the freight forwarder, and Indonesia DGCE, the only defensible statement is that the storage asset's discounted energy benefit over 25 years at 8% is USD 1,589.16 NPV. A full landed-cost TCO requires replacing every DROPPED-ITEM slot.

5. Duty / HS code stack (Indonesia) — to be confirmed

The HS national line, MFN/FTA programme, anti-dumping measures (if any), and VAT/PPN treatment must be confirmed against the Indonesia DGCE (Direktorat Jenderal Bea dan Cukai) tariff portal at the time of each shipment. computed lookups also used by cross-checking buyers:
