Sofar Solar HYD8KTL-3PH – 8 kW three-phase hybrid inverter
The Sofar HYD8KTL-3PH: 8 kW three-phase, 16 kVA peak power
The Sofar Solar HYD8KTL-3PH is the 8,000 W three-phase hybrid inverter in the HYD range. It shares the same robust design as the HYD 6KTL-3PH — same housing (571×515×264 mm), same parallel connection capacity of up to 10 units — but with a rated power of 8 kW, a PV capacity of 12,000 Wp and an exceptional EPS peak power of 16,000 VA for 60 seconds. It is designed for large homes, farms and SMEs connected to a 400V three-phase supply requiring maximum backup power.
16 kVA peak UPS for 60 seconds: the most generous backup power in the range
This is the HYD8KTL-3PH’s key advantage over the 6KTL: in UPS mode (battery backup power supply), it can deliver 16,000 VA for 60 seconds — twice its rated power. This reserve allows even the most demanding equipment to be started without difficulty:
- Three-phase heat pumps and industrial compressors (high inrush current on start-up)
- Three-phase machine tools in workshops or on farms
- Multiple simultaneous loads during a mains power cut
- Three-phase electric vehicle chargers in backup mode
- Three-phase agricultural ventilation and irrigation systems
Switchover to EPS mode takes less than 10 ms — imperceptible to almost all electronic and industrial equipment.
Can be paralleled with up to 10 inverters: maximum scalability
Up to 10 HYD8KTL-3PH units in parallel on the EPS and AC ports, enabling the creation of a three-phase microgrid of up to 80 kW. Ideal for:
- Large farms with high three-phase power consumption (pumps, greenhouses, ventilation)
- SMEs and industrial workshops requiring total power continuity
- Off -grid microgrids
- Projects requiring a gradual power increase in 8 kW increments
What this inverter actually does
- It converts solar energy into 230/400V AC three-phase electricity with a maximum efficiency of 98% and MPPT efficiency of 99.9%
- It stores surplus energy in the connected battery for use in the evening or during a grid outage
- It automatically switches to EPS mode in the event of a grid outage in <10 ms, with a peak power of 16 kVA for 60 seconds
- It feeds surplus energy back into the three-phase grid if your contract allows it
With 16 to 24 panels (8 to 12 kWp) and a 10 to 30 kWh battery, a large property or farm can achieve 70 to 85% self-consumption, representing an estimated saving of between €1,200 and €2,500 per year.
Advanced features
- Integrated multi-mode EMS: self-consumption, Time of Use (configurable time slots and days), battery backup, full feed-in, off-grid
- Parallel connection: up to 10 inverters on EPS and AC ports
- Extendable warranty up to 20 years (see pricing in the attachments)
Monitoring: SolarMan Smart
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LAN (Ethernet) and RS485 integrated as standard. The SolarMan Smart app (iOS / Android) allows you to view production, consumption and battery status in real time, configure modes and time slots, and control the system remotely.
Installation
Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Key points:
- Three-phase 230/400V mains supply required
- 4-pole main circuit breaker (minimum 20A per phase)
- Battery cabling rated for 25A nominal / 40A peak
- A CHINT DTSU666 three-phase meter is recommended for managing self-consumption — see the DTSU666 meter
