The SHB-G1 is the AC-coupled hybrid inverter at the center of LG Energy Solution's Prime+ residential storage system — the same inverter LG pairs with its 10H Prime and 16H Prime batteries for a maximum continuous output of 9.6kW. Because it couples on the AC side, it's built to retrofit onto a home that already has solar, without re-engineering the existing PV wiring.
Pair it with the Automatic Backup Device for partial or whole-home backup during an outage, or with a smart meter for LG's Arbitrage Solution instead. LG's own installers report full inverter and battery commissioning in well under 10 minutes.

Why the SHB-G1
AC-Coupled, Retrofit-Friendly
Couples on the AC side of an existing solar installation, which is what LG designed this inverter around: adding storage without re-engineering the PV wiring that's already on the roof.
Two System Modes
Pair it with the Automatic Backup Device for LG's Backup Solution configuration, or with a smart meter for the Arbitrage Solution built around self-consumption savings instead of outage protection.
Built for LG Prime Batteries
Designed to run with LG's 10H Prime and 16H Prime home batteries, including two batteries in parallel for up to 32kWh of storage behind one inverter.
Fast Commissioning
LG's own installers report full inverter and battery commissioning in under 10 minutes on a plug-and-play setup.
Bundled 10-Year Warranty
LG backs the inverter with the same 10-year warranty term as the battery and Automatic Backup Device when the system is installed together.
LG Energy Solution
Built by LG Energy Solution, the dedicated battery and energy storage arm of LG, rather than a licensed third-party inverter.

LG SHB-G1 9.6kW Hybrid Inverter: Frequently Asked Questions
What does "AC-coupled" mean for this inverter?
It means the SHB-G1 connects to your home's AC wiring rather than tying directly into your solar panels' DC output. That's what makes it a retrofit-friendly way to add battery storage to a home that already has solar installed, without touching the existing PV wiring.
What's the difference between the Backup Solution and the Arbitrage Solution?
Both pair the SHB-G1 inverter with an LG Prime battery. The Backup Solution adds the Automatic Backup Device and is built for partial or whole-home power during an outage. The Arbitrage Solution swaps that device for a smart meter and is built for self-consumption savings instead, without backup capability.
Which LG batteries work with the SHB-G1 inverter?
LG designs this inverter around its own 10H Prime and 16H Prime home batteries.
Can I run two batteries off one inverter?
Yes. LG supports two Prime batteries in parallel behind a single SHB-G1 inverter, which covers configurations from 19.2kWh up to 32kWh depending on which battery you choose.
How long does installation take?
LG's own figures put full inverter and battery commissioning at under 10 minutes on a properly prepared site. A licensed electrician still needs to handle the electrical connections and any permitting your area requires.
Do I need the Automatic Backup Device to use this inverter?
No. The inverter runs the day-to-day solar and battery operation on its own. The Automatic Backup Device is what adds whole- or partial-home backup during an outage. If backup power isn't a priority, LG's Arbitrage Solution pairs the same inverter with a smart meter instead.
What's covered under the warranty?
LG's published warranty covers the inverter for 10 years alongside the Prime battery and Automatic Backup Device, when all three are installed together as a system.
Where can I get the full electrical spec sheet?
LG doesn't publish a detailed public datasheet for this configuration with dimensions, MPPT configuration, or certification listings. Call us at (303) 876-7654 and we'll get you the installation and certification documents directly from LG before you order.
Do you offer financing or price matching?
Yes. We offer 0% APR financing through Affirm at checkout, and our Lowest Price Guarantee applies. If you find this LG equipment cheaper at another authorized LG dealer, call us at (303) 876-7654 before you order and we'll take care of it.
Are you an authorized LG dealer?
Yes. Renewable Outdoors is an authorized LG Energy Solution dealer, and every unit we sell ships new, in factory packaging, with LG's warranty intact.
