Fox ESS T8-G3 8kW Three-Phase String Inverter

£625.25

The Fox ESS T8-G3 8kW three-phase string inverter delivers efficient, dependable conversion for UK residential and light-commercial photovoltaic systems. With dual MPPT tracking, a wide 140–1000V MPPT window and up to 98.6% peak efficiency, it maintains strong yield across real-world British conditions, including mixed-orientation arrays and overcast weather.

A rugged IP65 enclosure and fan-free thermal design support quiet, low-maintenance operation indoors or outdoors. Safety features — residual-current and insulation monitoring, anti-islanding and surge protection — help streamline G99 commissioning, while certification to EN62109 underpins electrical safety. Built-in data logging with FoxCloud (Wi-Fi/LAN, optional 4G) gives homeowners and installers clear visibility of generation and system health. The T8-G3 also provides a straightforward pathway to battery adoption within the Fox high-voltage LFP ecosystem when you’re ready.

Pair with quality solar panels and robust solar mounting, or upsize to the T10-G3 if your array grows.

The Fox ESS T8-G3 8kW three-phase string inverter is a compact yet high-performing solution for residential and small commercial solar systems in the UK. With dual MPPT tracking, wide voltage adaptability and 98.6% conversion efficiency, it ensures reliable power output and strong energy yield even under the UK’s variable light conditions.

High-Efficiency Performance for British PV Systems

Engineered for versatility, the T8-G3 features two MPPT trackers operating across a 140–1000V window, allowing flexible string layouts for east–west or partially shaded roofs. Its low 140V start-up voltage enables early generation, while 1100V DC input capacity supports larger arrays. Delivering up to 98.6% peak efficiency and approximately 97.8% Euro efficiency, it converts more of your system’s potential into usable energy throughout the year.

Built for Reliability & Protection

The IP65-rated aluminium housing offers full weather protection for both indoor and outdoor installation. Passive cooling ensures quiet operation at around 30dB, eliminating fan wear and reducing maintenance. Integrated Type II surge protection, residual-current and insulation monitoring, and anti-islanding control safeguard the inverter and system components. The T8-G3 is fully G99 compliant and certified to EN62109, guaranteeing safe grid connection across the UK.

Key Features

  • Dual MPPTs with 140–1000V range and 99.8% tracking accuracy
  • Peak efficiency 98.6% / Euro efficiency 97.8% for stable output
  • IP65 weatherproof design with fan-free, 30dB silent cooling
  • Comprehensive safety suite: RCM, insulation, surge and anti-islanding
  • Built-in FoxCloud Wi-Fi/LAN monitoring with optional 4G
  • Certified to EN62109 and G99 for UK grid connection

If you’re wondering how efficiently the T8-G3 performs under overcast British skies, its wide MPPT voltage window and fast tracking algorithm ensure consistent energy capture even in low irradiance — keeping your system productive all day.

Seamless Integration with Solar Panels & Battery Storage

The Fox ESS T8-G3 integrates effortlessly with solar panels and battery storage systems, providing flexible, high-efficiency performance for three-phase residential and light-commercial setups. Its dual MPPT configuration supports complex roof designs and varying string lengths, ensuring each array operates independently at its optimum output. Direct DC coupling with Fox ESS high-voltage LFP batteries ensures minimal conversion loss, smooth charge control, and simplified scalability as energy demand grows.

Smart Monitoring & Connectivity

With built-in FoxCloud monitoring, users and installers gain real-time visibility of system status, generation, and energy yield. Standard Wi-Fi and LAN connectivity provide convenient access via the FoxCloud app or web portal, while optional 4G ensures consistent connection for remote or off-grid sites. RS485, CAN and USB interfaces enable reliable integration with meters, smart energy devices, and firmware tools — making commissioning fast and dependable.

Compact Design & Rugged Construction

The Fox ESS T8-G3 is designed for simple installation and long-term reliability. Measuring roughly 370×480×183.5mm and weighing about 21kg, it’s lightweight and installer-friendly for wall-mounted setups. The durable IP65 aluminium chassis is corrosion resistant, while natural convection cooling provides near-silent (~30dB) performance with no moving parts — ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications in British weather conditions.

Installer Guidance & System Notes

String design & MPPT layout

Each MPPT supports up to approximately 18.2A input current and operates between 140–1000V. To optimise yield, assign separate roof orientations or equal string lengths to each tracker.

Battery configuration & sizing

For smaller properties or light-commercial systems, start with around 5–10kWh of Fox high-voltage LFP storage and expand as demand grows — fully compatible without inverter modification.

Grid compliance & safety

Fully certified to EN62109 and compliant with G99. Includes built-in residual-current, insulation and surge protection to simplify UK grid connection and commissioning.
