Fox ESS H3 Pro 15 kW 3‑Phase Hybrid Inverter
- Three‑phase hybrid design combining PV and high‑voltage battery storage in one unit, well suited to commercial and light industrial loads.
- Scalable system architecture with support for battery expansion and up to ten storage inverters in parallel, allowing future growth as site demand increases.
- IP65‑rated enclosure with remote monitoring via app and web portal, making it practical for outdoor plant rooms and exposed UK locations.
Product overview
The Fox ESS H3 Pro 15 kW Three‑Phase Hybrid Inverter is part of the H3 Pro Series, designed for sites that need both solar generation and high‑voltage battery storage on a three‑phase supply. It combines PV, battery and grid interaction in a single IP65‑rated unit, with flexible configuration and built‑in protection.
When paired with compatible Fox high‑voltage batteries, the H3 Pro 15 kW can support applications such as small warehouses, workshops, logistics depots and commercial offices requiring self‑consumption, peak‑shaving and backup capability. Installation must be carried out by a suitably qualified electrician or solar installer.
Key Features
- Three‑phase hybrid operation with up to 15 kVA nominal AC power and support for high‑voltage batteries, covering a wide range of commercial loads.
- High DC input capability with multiple MPPT trackers and wide MPPT voltage windows, enabling flexible array design across different roof aspects.
