Fox ESS H1-5.0-G2 hybrid inverter · 5 kW single-phase high-voltage

The Fox ESS H1-5.0-G2 is a single-phase hybrid inverter from 5 kW from the second generation of the H1 series, designed for residential self-consumption with high-voltage batteries. It combines the photovoltaic inverter, the battery charger and the EPS backup output in a single unit.

Key points

• Two independent MPPT controllers with up to two strings per tracker: this allows for different orientations or split arrays without optimisers.
• Photovoltaic oversizing ratio of 1.5:1, up to 7.5 kWp of installed capacity with a 5 kW inverter.
• Backup EPS output with a switchover time of 75 ms: the house remains powered in the event of a mains power cut.
• High-voltage battery, 80 to 480 V, expandable up to 33.24 kWh with up to 7 modules in series.
• Up to 20 units in parallel for large installations.
• IP65: wall-mounted installation, indoors or outdoors.
