The EcoFlow Ocean 2 Plus Single-Phase Hybrid Inverter is the higher-capacity model in the Ocean 2 range, available in 8kW and 10kW (9.9kW rated) AC output variants. It is built for larger homes and higher-demand applications, with three independent MPP trackers to capture more solar generation from complex or multi-orientation roofs.
Ocean 2 Plus delivers true whole-home backup with a 63A bypass and 0ms load-side switching under supported grid conditions, supporting higher household loads during an outage than the standard Ocean 2 model. It also supports intelligent connection to a third-party inverter on the backup side, and stacks with up to twelve Ocean 2 5.02kWh battery modules for a maximum capacity of 60kWh per inverter.

Key Features
Two Power Options for Larger Homes
Available as an 8kW or 10kW (9.9kW rated) model, suited to larger households, EV charging and heat pump loads.
Three Independent MPPTs
With 3 MPP trackers supporting up to 24kW of total PV input, the Plus model adapts more easily to complex rooftops and partial shading.
True Whole-Home Backup
A 63A bypass with 0ms load-side switching (under supported grid conditions) supports higher household loads during an outage than the standard Ocean 2 model.
Expandable to 60kWh per Inverter
Supports a stack of up to 12 Ocean 2 5.02kWh batteries, reaching 60kWh of storage with a dual-tower configuration on a single inverter.
Parallel Installation for Larger Systems
Supports up to 5 cascaded inverters in grid-connected parallel operation, scaling total storage up to 300kWh across a multi-inverter system.
Third-Party Inverter Compatibility
Supports third-party inverter connection on the backup side, offering flexibility for integrating with existing solar installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 8kW and 10kW models?
Both share the same design and features. The 8kW model is rated at 8,000W output, while the 10kW model is rated at 9,999W (marketed as 10kW) with correspondingly higher maximum PV input and output current.
How is Ocean 2 Plus different from the standard Ocean 2 inverter?
Ocean 2 Plus offers higher output power (8kW/10kW vs 3.68–6kW), a third MPP tracker for more complex roofs, a higher-rated 63A backup bypass for whole-home backup, and support for up to 12 battery modules rather than 6.
Can this inverter provide whole-home backup during a power cut?
Yes, Ocean 2 Plus is designed for true whole-home backup with a 63A bypass and 0ms load-side switching under supported grid conditions, allowing it to support higher household loads than the standard Ocean 2 model during an outage.
How much storage can I add to one Ocean 2 Plus inverter?
A single inverter supports up to 12 Ocean 2 5.02kWh battery modules, reaching 60kWh of storage using a dual-tower configuration.
Do I still need a separate smart meter?
Yes, a separate external smart meter is typically required for correct system commissioning in most UK installations, in addition to the inverter's internal metering.
