Description
The SRNE HESP48180UH3 is an 18,000W 48V three-phase hybrid solar storage inverter engineered for commercial and industrial off-grid, grid-tied, and hybrid energy storage applications requiring high-power three-phase output, fast battery charging, and scalable multi-unit system architecture.
The HESP48180UH3 supports 120/208V WYE three-phase input and output without requiring an N wire, making it suitable for three-phase commercial loads, and scales from standalone operation to 9-unit parallel configurations for up to 162 kW of commercial and industrial system power.
The HESP48180UH3 accepts up to 36,000W of PV array access power (1.6× rated power) across three independent MPPT trackers (2+2+2 string configuration) with a 120–500V MPPT voltage range, 600V maximum open-circuit voltage, and 40A per channel maximum input current.
