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.

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.
