Fox ESS H3-6.0-E 6kW Inverter: The Efficient Three-Phase Hybrid Solar Inverter

The Fox ESS H3-6.0-E is a versatile 6kW three-phase hybrid solar inverter, perfect for UK homes with a three-phase electricity supply looking to embrace solar energy and storage. It intelligently manages the power flow between your solar panels, compatible high voltage batteries, and the grid, helping you maximise self-consumption and reduce your energy bills.

Optimised Solar Generation with Dual MPPT

How to choose a solar inverter for different roof sections? The H3-6.0-E features dual Maximum Power Point Trackers (MPPTs), as stated in the product documentation. This allows connection of two independent strings of solar panels, making it ideal for installations where panels face different directions or experience varying shading conditions, ensuring you capture the most energy possible throughout the day.

Seamless High-Voltage Battery Integration

Designed as a true hybrid inverter, the H3-6.0-E works directly with compatible high-voltage LFP solar batteries (operating within a 180-600V range according to the technical sheet). It efficiently manages the charging and discharging process (up to 26A max current), enabling effective battery energy storage. Store your excess solar power generated during the day and use it during the evening or overnight.

Energy Savings Through Efficiency & Smart Features

Reduce your reliance on expensive grid electricity. The H3-6.0-E operates with high efficiency (Max. Efficiency 97.80% listed in the specs) to minimise energy losses. By storing and utilising your own solar energy, you significantly lower grid imports. The inverter's smart capabilities also offer the potential to optimise battery charging based on time-of-use tariffs, allowing you to charge from the grid during cheaper off-peak hours for maximum savings.

Reliable Backup Power with EPS

Stay powered during grid outages. When combined with compatible batteries, the H3-6.0-E provides a dependable Emergency Power Supply (EPS) output. The product information confirms it can supply up to 6kVA of three-phase power with a rapid switchover (<20ms), keeping essential lights and appliances running smoothly when the grid fails.

Durable Design & Remote Monitoring

Built for longevity, the H3-6.0-E features an IP65-rated enclosure, suitable for outdoor installation when using appropriate solar cabling and solar mounting systems. Monitor your system's performance remotely via the Fox ESS Cloud platform using optional WiFi, LAN, GPRS or 4G modules, providing insights into energy generation, storage, and usage patterns.
