The Fox ESS T20-G3 20kW three-phase string inverter delivers powerful, high-efficiency energy conversion for large-scale residential and light-commercial solar PV systems in the UK. Combining dual MPPT tracking with a broad 140–1000V input window, it ensures consistent power generation across variable weather and complex array layouts, achieving up to 98.6% maximum efficiency.
High-Efficiency Performance for British PV Systems
Designed for performance in real-world British conditions, the T20-G3 offers two independent MPPT trackers capable of handling mixed roof aspects or multi-string commercial configurations. With a low 140V start-up voltage and maximum DC voltage of 1100V, the inverter maintains excellent conversion efficiency through morning and evening low-light periods. Its 98.6% peak and approximately 97.8% Euro efficiency ensure optimal returns from every installed panel, making it a dependable choice for larger installations across the UK.
Built for Reliability & Protection
A robust IP65-rated enclosure shields the T20-G3 against dust and rain, enabling flexible outdoor or indoor placement. Fan-free passive cooling keeps acoustic output to around 30dB and minimises servicing requirements. Safety features include residual-current and insulation monitoring, anti-islanding control, and Type II surge protection for both DC and AC circuits. Certified to EN62109 and compliant with G99, it’s ready for safe grid connection anywhere in the UK.

Seamless Integration with Solar Panels & Battery Storage
The Fox ESS T20-G3 integrates seamlessly with modern solar panels and battery storage systems. Its high-voltage DC coupling allows efficient communication with Fox ESS LFP battery technology, reducing conversion losses and simplifying system design. With its robust three-phase output and precise dual MPPT control, it supports balanced performance across multiple strings, ideal for small commercial premises, agricultural sites, and larger domestic systems seeking to reduce grid reliance.
Smart Monitoring & Communication
Equipped with FoxCloud monitoring, the T20-G3 provides complete visibility over solar generation, performance trends, and system health. Built-in Wi-Fi and LAN come as standard, while optional 4G connectivity ensures reliable operation in rural or remote installations. Communication ports including RS485, CAN and USB interfaces allow flexible integration with meters, BMS systems, and firmware update tools — supporting installers during setup and long-term maintenance.
Compact Design & Rugged Construction
The Fox ESS T20-G3 combines high power density with installation flexibility. Measuring approximately 370×480×183.5mm and weighing around 23kg, it’s compact enough for single-person handling while providing exceptional output for its size. The IP65-rated aluminium enclosure resists corrosion and weather exposure, while natural convection cooling ensures near-silent operation (~30dB) with minimal service requirements.
Installer Guidance & System Notes
String design & MPPT layout
Each tracker supports up to approximately 18.2A input current with a 140–1000V range. When designing arrays, distribute strings evenly across both MPPTs to optimise performance and mitigate shade or orientation differences.
Battery configuration & sizing
For large homes or commercial properties, begin with around 15–20kWh of Fox high-voltage LFP storage and expand modularly as consumption grows — no inverter upgrade required.
Grid compliance & safety
The T20-G3 is certified to EN62109 and compliant with G99. It includes residual-current monitoring, insulation detection and surge protection for safe UK grid connection.
