Fox ESS H3-8.0-E 8 kW Three-Phase Hybrid Solar Inverter

£1147.83

The Fox ESS H3-8.0-E 8 kW Three-Phase Hybrid Solar Inverter delivers efficient three-phase output for larger UK homes and light-commercial sites. Dual MPPT trackers operate across a broad 160 – 950 V window, helping maintain strong yield on split strings and complex roofs common in British settings.

With up to 10,400 W PV input and 8,000 W rated AC output (8,800 VA peak, 60 s), the H3-8.0-E balances headroom and efficiency. Its IP65 weather-sealed enclosure and quiet (<45 dB) cooling support outdoor or plant-room use, while FoxCloud provides real-time monitoring via integrated Wi-Fi/LAN (optional 4G). Certified to EN 62109 and compliant with G99, it integrates cleanly with Fox high-voltage LFP batteries for scalable storage.

The Fox ESS H3-8.0-E 8 kW Three-Phase Hybrid Solar Inverter is the sweet spot of the H3 range for British photovoltaic systems needing robust three-phase power without oversizing. With 10,400 W maximum PV input and a 8,000 W rated AC output (8,800 VA peak for 60 s), it fits larger homes, farms and light-commercial arrays seeking dependable yield and hybrid readiness.

High-Efficiency Performance for British PV Systems

Two independent MPPT trackers and a wide 160 – 950 V operating window keep strings close to their optimum across changing light and multi-aspect layouts. Peak conversion efficiency reaches 98.5 % (Euro 97.8 %), reducing DC-to-AC losses and supporting strong generation through low-light mornings, overcast days and winter months typical across the UK.

Built for Reliability & Protection

The H3-8.0-E pairs an IP65 weather-sealed enclosure with quiet (<45 dB) fan-assisted cooling for stable operation indoors or out. Safety systems include residual-current and insulation monitoring, anti-islanding, and integrated surge arrestors (Type II DC / Type II AC). Certified to EN 62109-1 & -2 and compliant with G99, it streamlines UK grid connection for professional systems.

Key Features

  • 8 kW three-phase AC output with 8,800 VA peak (60 s)
  • Dual MPPT with a 160 – 950 V window for flexible string design
  • 98.5 % peak / 97.8 % Euro efficiency for strong real-world yield
  • IP65 enclosure; <45 dB operation for outdoor or plant-room mounting
  • Integrated Type II surge protection and comprehensive grid safety logic
  • FoxCloud monitoring via Wi-Fi/LAN (optional 4G)

If you’re wondering how the H3-8.0-E performs in low-light UK conditions, its wide MPPT window and responsive tracking help maintain meaningful output under diffuse light or partial shading — common on multi-aspect British roofs.

Specification data verified from Fox ESS H3 Series Datasheet BE-V1.3 (2023/06/07).

Considering system size? Step down to the H3 6 kW or up to the H3 10 kW, and pair with high-quality solar panels and battery storage from Evergy.

Seamless Integration with Solar Panels & Battery Storage

The H3-8.0-E integrates cleanly with premium solar panels and Fox high-voltage LFP batteries (180 – 600 V). A typical UK home might begin around 10 – 13 kWh and scale storage upwards as demand grows. Direct DC coupling reduces conversion losses and improves charge response for higher self-consumption.

Smart Monitoring & Connectivity

FoxCloud provides real-time visibility via built-in Wi-Fi and LAN, with optional 4 G for remote or rural sites. Communications include RS485, CAN, DRM, ripple control and USB for straightforward integration with meters, battery BMS and smart-home controls.

Compact Design & Dimensions

High power density in a practical footprint: 449 × 519 × 198 mm, approx. 28 kg. The IP65 aluminium housing and <45 dB cooling enable reliable outdoor or plant-room installation. Access-friendly terminals support neat, safe routing on sound wall structures.

Installer Guidance & System Notes

String design & MPPT layout

Use the 160 – 950 V MPPT window and observe current limits (up to 16 A per tracker). On mixed orientations, dedicate one MPPT per roof aspect to maximise yield.

Battery configuration & sizing

Start around 10 – 13 kWh for most UK homes; expand modularly as usage grows. The high-voltage LFP platform enables scalable capacity without changing the inverter.

Grid compliance & safety

Fully compliant with G99 and certified to EN 62109-1 & -2. Residual-current and insulation monitoring plus Type II SPDs support safe commissioning and operation.
