Hoymiles HIT-8L-G3 8 kW Hybrid Inverter, 3-Phase, 48 V

The HIT-8L-G3 8 kW from Hoymiles (MPN: HIT-8L-G3) is a 3-phase hybrid inverter that combines a PV system, battery storage, and emergency power supply into a single system. The inverter offers 8,000 W of rated AC output power, three independent MPPT trackers for up to 16,000 W of recommended PV power, and supports both lithium and lead-acid batteries with voltages ranging from 40 to 60 V. Various energy management modes, monitoring via the S-Miles Cloud, and an EPS output with a switching time of less than 10 ms round out the range of features.

Flexible control of solar energy and battery storage

Various operating modes are available for the demand-based use of solar energy and battery storage. In self-consumption mode, the generated PV energy is primarily used for connected loads, and any excess energy is then stored in the battery storage system. Other modes allow, among other things, for limiting grid draw peaks via peak shaving or for time-dependent control of charging and discharging processes via time-of-use billing.

EPS Supply with Short Switching Time

Via the separate three-phase EPS output, the HIT-8L-G3 provides a rated power of 8,000 W. For short-term load peaks, up to 16,000 VA is possible for 10 seconds provided there is sufficient PV and battery power. With a switchover time of less than 10 ms, designated loads can continue to be powered with only a very brief interruption when the overall system is properly configured.

Unbalanced Operation in a Three-Phase System

The HIT-8L-G3 supports a 100% unbalanced output, thereby enabling the supply of phases with different load levels. A single phase can be loaded with up to 50% of the rated power, allowing the inverter to flexibly adapt to the load distribution in the three-phase system.

Monitoring and Compact Design

The S-Miles Cloud allows for convenient remote monitoring and analysis of the PV and storage system’s operating data. The inverter is designed for wall mounting and operates particularly quietly thanks to passive cooling. The robust housing also provides reliable protection against external influences and enables versatile use.

Integrated Protection Functions

The HIT-8L-G3 features several integrated protection mechanisms for PV and grid operation. These include protection against islanding, PV reverse polarity protection, insulation resistance monitoring, ground fault current monitoring, and AC overcurrent and short-circuit protection. Additionally, AC overvoltage and undervoltage protection, as well as Type II overvoltage protection on both the DC and AC sides, are provided.
