The Fox ESS T6-G3 6kW three-phase string inverter offers a perfect balance of power, efficiency, and reliability for small to mid-sized residential and light-commercial PV systems in the UK. Designed with dual MPPT tracking and a wide 140–1000V operating range, it delivers steady, high-performance energy conversion even during Britain’s variable weather conditions.
High-Efficiency Performance for British PV Systems
With two independent MPPT inputs and up to 98.6% peak efficiency, the T6-G3 optimises solar harvest across complex or shaded roof layouts. Its low 140V start-up voltage ensures early morning generation, while a 1100V maximum DC input supports flexible array configuration. Designed to perform consistently under low irradiance, this model provides robust output where many smaller inverters fall short — ideal for the UK’s changing light levels.
Built for Reliability & Protection
Built to last, the IP65-rated T6-G3 can be mounted indoors or outdoors, offering full protection against rain, dust, and corrosion. A fan-free, naturally cooled design reduces maintenance and operates quietly at around 30dB. Safety and compliance are at the core: residual-current and insulation monitoring, anti-islanding logic, and Type II surge protection are all built in. The unit meets EN62109 and G99 standards, ensuring it’s ready for UK grid integration from day one.

Seamless Integration with Solar Panels & Battery Storage
The Fox ESS T6-G3 integrates smoothly with both solar panels and battery storage systems, making it an ideal choice for households and small businesses looking for scalable energy independence. Its high-voltage DC architecture supports efficient coupling with Fox ESS LFP batteries, ensuring low conversion loss and stable power flow. The inverter’s dual MPPT design allows flexible system layouts, supporting mixed roof orientations and multi-string installations with ease.
Smart Monitoring & Communication
Built-in FoxCloud monitoring gives homeowners and installers full transparency over solar performance, system status, and long-term yield. Standard Wi-Fi and LAN connectivity enable real-time tracking, while optional 4G ensures stable communication even in off-grid or remote properties. With additional RS485 and USB ports, the T6-G3 supports seamless integration with meters, energy management devices, and firmware updates — simplifying setup and maintenance.
Compact Design & Rugged Construction
The Fox ESS T6-G3 combines impressive power output with a small, installer-friendly form factor. Measuring approximately 370×480×183.5mm and weighing just 20kg, it can be mounted easily on most wall surfaces. Its IP65 aluminium chassis is weatherproof and corrosion resistant, ensuring durability through harsh British conditions. Natural convection cooling eliminates moving parts, keeping operation silent (~30dB) and maintenance low over the system’s lifespan.
Installer Guidance & System Notes
String design & MPPT layout
Each MPPT supports approximately 18.2A input current across a 140–1000V range. Assign separate roof orientations or string lengths to each tracker for maximum performance under varied conditions.
Battery configuration & sizing
For most UK homes, start with around 5–10kWh of Fox high-voltage LFP storage and expand as demand grows — compatible without inverter replacement.
Grid compliance & safety
Fully certified to EN62109 and compliant with G99. Integrated residual-current monitoring, insulation checks and surge protection ensure safe UK grid connection.
