SolarEdge SE8K-RWB48BFN4 8kW Three Phase Home Hub Inverter

SolarEdge SE8K-RWB48BFN4 8kW: The Powerful Three-Phase Home Hub Inverter with Backup Potential

The SolarEdge SE8K-RWB48BFN4 Home Hub Inverter offers a significant 8kW of three-phase power, making it the ideal energy manager for larger residential properties with higher energy demands. This intelligent inverter seamlessly coordinates PV panel production (via SolarEdge Power Optimizers, sold separately), integrates directly with SolarEdge Home Batteries, and includes readiness for backup power* during grid failures.

Maximised Energy Use with DC-Coupling

Leverage more of your solar generation. The Home Hub utilises a DC-coupled architecture, a key benefit highlighted in the SolarEdge information. This allows surplus power from your solar panels to charge a compatible SolarEdge Home Battery BAT-05K48 directly, avoiding the efficiency losses associated with multiple DC-AC conversions found in AC-coupled systems. This means more stored energy for later use.

Integrated Home Backup Power*

Prepare for grid instability. The SE8K-RWB48BFN4 is specifically designed to provide backup power when installed with a SolarEdge Home Battery. The technical specifications indicate it can deliver up to 8kVA of three-phase backup power, automatically switching over (<6 seconds) during an outage to keep essential home circuits powered. (*Backup function is intended for residential use, subject to local regulations, and may need extra components/firmware).

SolarEdge Ecosystem Integration & Monitoring

How to choose a solar inverter for panel-level insights? The SolarEdge system, including this Home Hub, excels here. When paired with SolarEdge Power Optimizers on each solar panel, you gain access to detailed module-level performance monitoring through the SolarEdge platform. Installation is simplified via the SolarEdge SetApp, and the Hub integrates with other SolarEdge smart energy devices.

Advanced Safety Features

Benefit from SolarEdge's commitment to safety. The DC optimized system, requiring Power Optimizers, inherently enables features like SafeDC™, designed to automatically reduce high DC voltages to safe levels during installation, maintenance, or emergencies. The inverter itself meets stringent safety standards and has an IP65 rating suitable for outdoor installation (using appropriate solar cabling and mounting systems).
