Growatt MIN8000-TL2-X-DC – 8kW Single-Phase String Inverter

The Growatt MIN8000-TL2-X-DC is an advanced 8kW single-phase string inverter from Growatt’s TL-X2 range, engineered for high-efficiency solar generation in British homes and light-commercial settings. With three independent MPPT trackers, a wide 60–550V operating window and fan-free IP66 construction, it provides steady, low-noise performance in the UK’s variable climate.

High-Efficiency Performance

Using triple MPPT control, the MIN8000-TL2-X-DC optimises energy harvest from mixed-orientation or partially shaded arrays. Its peak efficiency of 98.1% converts more sunlight into usable AC output, while rapid tracking ensures consistent yield under shifting irradiance. The inverter’s broad voltage range and per-tracker design simplify string layout for UK installers working with different roof pitches or aspects.

Built for Reliability & Protection

Encased in a rugged IP66-rated aluminium housing, the unit uses natural convection cooling for silent, maintenance-free operation. Comprehensive protection includes Type II DC surge protection, residual-current and insulation monitoring, anti-islanding, and grid-support functions for safe and compliant commissioning in line with EN 62109 and G99 standards.

Key Features

• Up to 98.1% conversion efficiency for maximum solar yield
• 3× MPPTs with a wide 60–550V tracking window
• IP66 weatherproof, fan-free construction for quiet outdoor use
• Integrated Type II DC SPD, RCM and insulation monitoring
• Built-in Wi-Fi & RS485 for ShinePhone/ShineServer monitoring (optional LAN or 4G)
• Full compliance with EN 62109 and G99 UK grid requirements

If you’re wondering how the MIN8000-TL2-X-DC performs under cloudy British skies, its low start-up threshold and dynamic MPPT tracking keep generation steady through low-light conditions, maximising output even on overcast days.

Seamless Integration with Solar Panels & Battery Systems

The Growatt MIN8000-TL2-X-DC integrates seamlessly with standard solar panels and export-limiting setups common in UK homes. Its 3×MPPT configuration allows installers to connect mixed-aspect arrays efficiently, while the wide 60–550V input range ensures stable generation even during early morning or low-light operation. Although this model is a string inverter rather than a hybrid unit, it can easily be paired with an AC-coupled battery system to enable energy storage and load shifting when required.

Smart Monitoring & Connectivity

Performance visibility is managed through Growatt’s ShinePhone and ShineServer platforms, offering live and historical system data for both homeowners and installers. The MIN8000-TL2-X-DC includes Wi-Fi and RS485 communication as standard, with optional LAN or 4G modules for remote installations. Integrated data logging and event tracking streamline maintenance, allowing engineers to identify issues quickly and optimise yield over time.

Compact Design & Rugged Construction

Compact and weather-resistant, the inverter measures approximately 425×387×180mm and weighs around 20kg. Its IP66 enclosure protects against dust and water ingress, while the fanless cooling design ensures quiet operation below 25dB. These attributes make it suitable for outdoor mounting on walls, garages or plant rooms where reliability and low maintenance are priorities.
