SolarEdge 8,000W Home Wave Inverter - Single Phase
8,000W Home Wave Inverter - Single Phase
SolarEdge Home Wave Single Phase, 8 – 10 kW — The single-phase ceiling: 10 kW AC, 20 kW DC, 99 % weighted.
This is the top of SolarEdge's single-phase Home Wave range for the UK, and it exists for houses whose electrical demand has outgrown a conventional domestic array — a heat pump, two EVs, a home office, or simply a very large roof.
About the SolarEdge Home Wave Single Phase, 8 – 10 kW
The specification that stands out is DC oversizing: 20,000 W of modules on a 10,000 W inverter. Because SolarEdge optimisers present a fixed voltage, that 200 % ratio is a supported design rather than an overload, and in UK light conditions the array spends almost all of its year below the clipping threshold anyway. You harvest far more in spring and autumn and lose a handful of hours at midsummer.
European weighted efficiency is 99 %, which is about as good as grid-tied conversion gets, and it comes with the same module-level monitoring, SafeDC shutdown and integrated arc-fault protection as the rest of the range.
String design, certification and what is in the box
The details that decide whether this unit suits the job:
- Requires SolarEdge power optimisers on every module.
- Three MC4 pairs on the DC side. Nominal DC input 400 V, maximum 480 V.
- 45.5 A continuous output at 10 kW — check the consumer unit, the tails and the DNO position before you commit.
- This will be a G99 application on a single-phase supply, not a G98 notification.
- Certified to G83/1, G83/2 and G59/3 on the datasheet; check current G98/G99 documentation for your application.
- 360 × 370 × 185 mm, 16.5 kg, IP65, natural convection, under 50 dBA.

The Home Wave Single Phase, 8 – 10 kW is specified most often for these jobs.
Can I add a battery to this?
This inverter has a battery port. It takes Compatible with SolarEdge Energy Bank, subject to inverter firmware support.
SolarEdge SE8000H technical data
Questions we get asked about this inverter
Can I really put 20 kW of panels on a 10 kW inverter?
Yes, that is the datasheet figure. In UK conditions an array rarely reaches its STC rating, so the clipping loss is small and the gains on dull days are large. Model it before committing, but do not be put off by the ratio.
Will the DNO allow 10 kW on single phase?
It is a G99 application and the answer is network-specific. Many will approve it with an export limit. Apply early.
Do I need optimisers?
Yes, on every module. This is not a conventional string inverter.
Battery?
The datasheet lists the SolarEdge Energy Bank, subject to inverter firmware support. If storage is the goal from day one, the Home Hub inverter is the purpose-built choice — ask us and we will check your part number.
