Fox ESS H1-5.0-E-G2 5kW Inverter: The Powerful Single Phase Hybrid Inverter for Smart Homes

Elevate your home energy system with the Fox ESS H1-5.0-E-G2, a powerful 5kW single-phase hybrid solar inverter. Engineered for homes with higher energy demands, this second-generation inverter seamlessly manages power flow between your solar panels, compatible high voltage storage batteries, and the grid. Harness more solar power, significantly reduce your reliance on grid electricity, and enjoy the security of backup power.

Powerful Hybrid Functionality & Battery Integration

Choosing the correct type of inverter is vital for battery energy storage. The H1-5.0-E-G2 is a true hybrid, designed to work directly with compatible high-voltage LFP batteries (like the Fox ESS range)[cite: 1]. The product data sheet confirms its capability to handle efficient battery charging and discharging (up to 40A)[cite: 2]. This integration allows you to store surplus solar energy generated during the day and use it when needed most, such as evenings or periods of low solar generation.

Optimised for Larger Solar Arrays

What size inverter do you need for your solar panels? With a rated output of 5kW and a maximum recommended DC input power of 7500W specified in the technical data, the H1-5.0-E-G2 is well-suited for larger residential solar panel installations[cite: 2]. Its dual MPPT design ensures optimal energy harvesting, even if panels are installed across different roof aspects or encounter partial shading[cite: 2].

Maximise Savings with High Efficiency & Tariff Optimisation

This hybrid solar inverter price point delivers excellent value through high performance. It boasts impressive efficiency ratings (up to 97.08% Max. Efficiency according to the specs)[cite: 2]. By storing and using your own solar power, you drastically reduce grid imports. Furthermore, its smart controls can potentially be configured to take advantage of cheaper off-peak electricity tariffs (like Octopus Agile/Go) for battery charging, further cutting energy costs[cite: 1].

Reliable Emergency Power Supply (EPS)

Experience enhanced energy security. When connected to compatible batteries, the H1-5.0-E-G2 offers a valuable Emergency Power Supply (EPS) feature[cite: 2]. The manufacturer's information highlights its ability to provide up to 5000VA of backup power to dedicated circuits almost instantaneously (<20ms switch time) during a grid outage, keeping essential appliances running[cite: 2].

Durable Design & Smart Monitoring

Built for performance and longevity, the H1-G2 inverter is IP65 rated, ensuring its suitability for outdoor installation[cite: 4, 5]. Use appropriate solar cabling and solar mounting systems for a secure setup. Monitor your entire system – solar production, battery status, grid interaction – remotely via the Fox ESS Cloud platform using optional WiFi, LAN, or 4G dongles[cite: 5, 2].
