Inverter SMA Sunny Tripower Hybrid X 8, 8kW/8kVA, hybrid, three phase, 3 MPPT - 5 + 5 years warranty

The SMA Sunny Tripower Hybrid X 8 is a three-phase hybrid inverter for larger residential PV systems combined with battery storage. It integrates PV conversion, battery management and cloud-based energy management, allowing installers to build a complete self-consumption system around a single device. Rated at 8 kW and 8 kVA with a maximum efficiency of 97.1%, it accepts up to 12 kWp on the DC side. Three independent MPP trackers, a 160–850 V MPP range and a maximum input current of 18 A per tracker (24 A Isc) give a great deal of latitude when strings differ in length or orientation. The 1000 V maximum system voltage suits generously sized arrays. With an SMA high-voltage battery the surplus is stored for evening and night-time use, while the optional SMA Backup solution provides whole-home backup power up to 63 A when the grid fails. The integrated System Manager governs up to 10 devices, and SMA Energy Maximizer optimises consumption around EV charging and heat pump loads. The IP65 enclosure mounts on a wall indoors or outdoors, weighs 33.5 kg, and is commissioned in roughly five minutes through the SMA 360° app. Wi-Fi and Ethernet are standard; 4G is optional. Covered by a 5 + 5 year manufacturer warranty, it is a robust, well-supported platform for demanding residential projects.
