SolaX X1 EPS Emergency Power Supply Box UK

SolaX EPS boxes — One inverter or ten — the box that decides what backup can actually carry.

Backup power is limited by two things: how much the inverter can produce and how the property is switched over to it. These boxes are the second half of that.

Overview

About the SolaX EPS boxes

The X1 EPS box is the single-inverter case. It integrates two contactors so the installer wires between inverter and box rather than building a changeover arrangement, and it is rated at 100 A for the X-hybrid E series.

The X3 EPS Parallel Box G2 solves a bigger problem. It connects up to six hybrid inverters for 60 kW, or up to ten for 150 kW, and synchronises their EPS outputs so backup can carry large consumers and bigger PV systems. It works across every device generation from G2 and G3 through G4 to the current G4.2.

One caution applies to all of them: only essential loads should be wired to the EPS circuits, and the backup capability has to be checked against what the property actually needs.

Compatibility

What does this fit?

This is the box that switches a property onto backup when the grid fails.

The X1 EPS box is a 100 A single-inverter backup box for the X-hybrid E series. The X3 EPS Parallel Boxes are a different job: they synchronise the EPS outputs of several hybrids so backup can run bigger loads.

For the installer

What the job needs

The details that decide whether this suits the system:

  • X1 EPS box: 100 A, two integrated contactors, for the X-hybrid E series. Wire only essential loads to the EPS circuits and check the rating is sufficient for the property.
  • X3 EPS Parallel Box G2 60 kW: up to 6 hybrid inverters.
  • X3 EPS Parallel Box G2 150 kW: up to 10 hybrid inverters.
  • The Parallel Boxes work with device generations G2, G3, G4 and the current G4.2, and synchronise the EPS outputs.
  • Both Parallel Boxes are IP65.
  • The X3 Parallel Boxes are buy-to-order items.

Things worth knowing about this listing

These notes come from us and from the manufacturer, and they are the ones that most often cause a problem after delivery:
  • Check that 100 A is sufficient for the property where the installation is planned, and wire only essential loads to the EPS circuits.

Frequently asked questions

Questions we get asked about this inverter

Which box do I need?

The X1 EPS box for a single X-hybrid E series inverter, or an X3 EPS Parallel Box where several hybrids have to back the property up together.

How many inverters will a Parallel Box take?

Six on the 60 kW box and ten on the 150 kW box.

Will it work with older SolaX inverters?

The Parallel Box supports device generations G2, G3, G4 and the current G4.2.

Can I back up the whole property?

Check the rating against the property first, and wire only essential loads to the EPS circuits.
