• Product Description

    The Sofar HYD-ES 6kW Inverter has multiple modes of use to suit your needs. Auto mode will enable you to charge your battery with your surplus PV energy and it will use stored energy from the battery to power your load when the PV energy supply is too low. Should the grid go down, like, during load shedding, the Sofar inverter will work in EPS (Emergency Power Supply) mode which will keep the supply to your appliances flowing.
    Reliability, high yield, easy operation and intelligent power management are all the words you want to hear when choosing an inverter.

    Hi Peter

    The inverter is normally isolated via a switch or isolator placed in the system as part of the installation. It is important to be able to isolate the inverter for maintenance and safety purposes.

    Hi Andre, This inverter is compatible with Pylontech batteries. The PylonTech PowerCube H2 is a high voltage battery. You might want to consider the PylonTech US3000C as an alternative
    3. Is the Sofar as programmable as the Sunsink or Fusion, and is it autonomous, what are the main differences between the Sofar and Fusion 5Kw inverters

    Hi Andre, the Sofar inverter is autonomous, the Sofar inverter will work in EPS (Emergency Power Supply) mode which will keep the supply to your appliances flowing during load shedding. I would need some additional information with regards to what you mean by programmable.
    4. Hi, will this inverter work with 12 x Canadian 365w Solar Panels and 3 x Pylontech 3000c batteries?
  4. Q Hi, will this inverter work with 12 x Canadian 365w Solar Panels and 3 x Pylontech 3000c batteries?
    A

    Hi Marius,

    Yes this inverter would be able to work with 12 panels. You would just need to bare in mind the Max DC power for single MPPT of 3500W
    5. I have 2 x US3000B and add a US3000C to the stack. My current inverter does not work with the US3000C BMS. Baud rate is setup correct just can’t get it communicated. Is this inverter compatible with PylonTech US3000C? How would the BMS work?

    Hi, the battery compatible, depending on your cable you might have create a new pin out as some were shipped (from the manufacturer) with incorrect comms cables. If you bought this battery from us please email us at [email protected] so we organise the correct one.

    Regarding the US3000B and US3000C working together, you will need to make the US3000C the master.

    I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly.
    7. How far from the battery can the inverter be connected
  7. Q How far from the battery can the inverter be connected
    A

    Hi, it's a good question, it can be a few metres but you will get latency loss the further it is. Typically batteries are next to the inverter.
    8. Which is better inverter? Sofar, Deye or Sunsynk?
  8. Q Which is better inverter? Sofar, Deye or Sunsynk?
    A

    Hi There, depending on your need both inverter are good quality inverters. The Deye can run a larger battery backup and can also parallel. 
    9. Hi, is the wifi dongle included with the inverter?

    Hi There, the Sofar does come with a wifi dongle
    10. 1 ) With the Sofar HYD 6000 ES Hybrid, during peak sunshine daytime when there is loadshedding (i.e no Grid connection -Emergency Power supply) how will the Sofar provide energy to the loads (3kW max)? Will it be supplied from the PV panels provided there is sufficient panles and sunlight, or only from the battery, or mixed from both, and is this configurable? 2) What is included in the Sofar 6000 ES box? E.g. is the CT included, etc. and what extras must be purchased to make it work properly as a full hybrid? 3) Can an extended warrantee (>5years) be purchased and at what cost? 4) During night time when there is no PV energy, is it configurable to only supply the load from the battery, or from the grid, or mixed from both?
  10. Q 1 ) With the Sofar HYD 6000 ES Hybrid, during peak sunshine daytime when there is loadshedding (i...... Read more
    A

    Hi, if your load is 3kW then the PV and Battery (depending on the battery capacity) will power your load, this inverter can take a maximum of 6600 watts of PV which I would recommend if you want the maximum during the day.

    There is a CT clamp included, you will need batteries to be fully Hybrid.

    We don't offer an extended warranty for this unfortunately.

    During the evening the battery power would be used until it is empty then it will use the grid, this can be set in various ways too if you want to reserve battery.
    11. I see recommend the Deye 5 KW if I want to add another inverter at a later stage? Would it have to be the same size which would mean that it would be a total of 10kW am I correct in saying this?

    A Hi, the grid isn't able to take the feedback of power, there is a CT clamp that will prevent this from happening, otherwise, you will get charged. The Eskom grid isn't able to handle it. You can't parallel these inverters, my recommendation is the Deye 5kW inverter if you need this.
