The Fox ESS S3000-G2 3.0kW Single-Phase String Inverter is the most powerful single-MPPT model in Fox’s S(G2) range, designed for installers who need maximum output from compact residential arrays. It provides high efficiency, reliable grid compliance and quiet operation, all in a lightweight and installer-friendly design.
Smart Hybrid Power for UK Homes and Installers
The S3000-G2 combines a single precision MPPT with a generous 4500W PV input capacity across a wide 80–500V range, ensuring steady yield through the low-light mornings and overcast conditions typical of British weather. With its fan-free IP65 housing, the inverter runs quietly (<25dB) and supports outdoor installation without added maintenance. Integrated data logging and FoxCloud monitoring (Wi-Fi/LAN, optional 4G) make system verification and customer handovers quick and efficient.
Installer-Ready Safety & Compliance
Safety and grid compliance are built into every S3000-G2. Anti-islanding, residual-current and insulation monitoring speed up G99 approval, while EN62109 certification ensures long-term operational safety. Real-time diagnostics through FoxCloud let installers confirm configuration remotely, cutting service time and return visits.
