Fox ESS 8.0kW T Series 3PH Dual Tracker PV Inverter
Fox ESS 8.0kW T Series 3PH Dual Tracker PV Inverter
Fox ESS 8.0kW T Series 3PH Dual Tracker PV Inverter
Fox ESS T Series (G3) — 6 kW to 25 kW three phase, 1,100 V, 98.6 % peak.
The T Series is Fox ESS's three-phase string range and it sits in the size band that most commercial UK rooftops actually occupy — 6 kW to 25 kW, where the array is bigger than a house but smaller than a warehouse. Farm buildings, workshops, village halls, offices and large rural houses on three-phase supplies.
About the Fox ESS T Series (G3)
It runs at a 1,100 V system voltage with a 140 – 1,000 V MPPT window, so strings can be long: fewer strings, less DC cable, fewer terminations. Two independent trackers throughout, with one string each up to 12 kW and two strings each from 15 kW.
Peak efficiency is 98.6 % with a 97.8 % Euro-weighted figure. PV string current monitoring is included as standard, which on a commercial array is the difference between finding a dead string this week and finding it next year.
String design, certification and what is in the box
The details that decide whether this unit suits the job:
- 1,100 V maximum input, 140 V start-up, 140 – 1,000 V MPPT window — long strings, few of them.
- Two trackers throughout: 14 A each with 1+1 strings to 12 kW; 28 A each with 2+2 strings from 15 kW.
- PV string current monitoring included as standard on every model.
- DC switch and AFCI are options; DC/AC Type II surge protection is fitted.
- Certified to AS/NZS 4777.2, C10/11, EN 50549-1, VDE-AR-N 4105, RD 1699, CEI 0-21 and VDE V 0126-1-1.
- 370 × 480 × 183.5 mm; 20 to 21 kg; under 55 dB, so it is fan cooled — keep it out of quiet spaces.
Where this inverter earns its place
The T Series (G3) is specified most often for these jobs.
Can I add a battery to this?
This is a grid-tied PV inverter. It converts solar DC into AC for the property and the grid, and it has no battery port. That is not a shortcoming — it is the right architecture for a system without storage, and it is why it costs what it does.
If storage is on the roadmap, you have two routes. Add an AC-coupled battery system alongside this inverter later, which works with any PV inverter and needs no change to what is already installed. Or choose a hybrid inverter now and pay for a battery port you will use in a year or two. We are happy to talk that trade-off through before you order.
Things worth knowing about this listing
- You must register the installation with Fox ESS online to activate the 10 year product warranty. Without registration it is 5 years as standard. See the warranty document in the Documents tab for the registration link and the full terms.
Fox ESS T8-G3 technical data
Questions we get asked about this inverter
Which models take two strings per tracker?
From the T15-G3 upward. Below that it is one string per tracker, at 14 A. The 15 kW and above take 28 A per tracker across two strings.
Is it noisy?
It is fan cooled and quoted under 55 dB. Fine in a plant room or on an external wall; not ideal next to an office window.
Do I need string monitoring?
On anything commercial, yes. It is included here as standard, and it is what turns 'the system seems down a bit' into a specific string to check.
Can I export limit it?
Yes — G100 is on the certification list and export limitation is supported.
Battery?
No. The T Series is grid-tied PV only.
