The SolaX X3 Hybrid G4 is a three-phase hybrid inverter that combines solar PV conversion and high-voltage battery storage control in one unit. It is supplied here in 8 kW, 10 kW, 12 kW and 15 kW ratings for larger homes and light commercial premises.
It offers 200% PV oversizing, up to 110% AC output, up to 97.5% charging and discharging efficiency and three-phase unbalanced output of up to 5 kW per phase. EPS backup switches over in under 10 ms, and up to 200% EPS overload output for 10 seconds (varies by model) helps start heavy loads.
A 120–800 V battery input, smart load management for heat pumps and EV chargers, and on- and off-grid parallel operation up to 150 kW make the X3 Hybrid G4 ready for demanding installations, protected to IP65 with Type II SPD on both AC and DC sides.

Installation and grid connection: Must be installed by a qualified, competent person in line with BS 7671 and the manufacturer's manual. Based on the rated output current per phase, the 8 kW and 10 kW ratings fall under G98 (16 A per phase or less), while the 12 kW and 15 kW ratings exceed 16 A per phase and need a G99 application before installation.
Battery pairing: SolaX states the inverter is compatible with a minimum of 3 units of HS25 / HS36 batteries. If the total voltage of those 3 batteries is below 127 V and there is no PV input, the system will not start up.
EPS overload varies by rating: SolaX states that overload capabilities vary by model. Confirm your peak backup load requirement against the manufacturer's specification for your chosen rating.
High-power panel support: SolaX rates the range for up to 28 A input per MPPT for high-power solar panels. The exact MPPT arrangement depends on the rating, so confirm the string layout against the manufacturer's installation manual.

Frequently asked questions
Which power ratings are available?
The X3 Hybrid G4 is supplied in 8 kW, 10 kW, 12 kW and 15 kW. Select the rating from your array size (maximum recommended PV runs from 16 kWp to 30 kWp) and your three-phase load profile.
What does three-phase unbalanced output mean?
It means the inverter can supply loads that are not evenly spread across the three phases, up to a maximum of 5 kW on a single phase. This suits properties with heavy single-phase loads such as electric showers or ovens.
Which batteries and voltages does it support?
Lithium and lead-acid batteries across 120–800 V, up to 30 A charge and discharge. SolaX states a minimum of 3 HS25 / HS36 battery units, and the system will not start if those 3 units total less than 127 V with no PV input.
How does the EPS backup work?
With a battery connected, the EPS output supplies 230 V / 400 V and switches over in under 10 ms. SolaX quotes up to 200% EPS overload output for 10 seconds, which varies by model, so check the specification for your rating.
Do I need DNO approval in the UK?
Yes. The 8 kW and 10 kW ratings have rated output currents of 11.6 A and 14.5 A per phase, within the G98 limit of 16 A per phase. The 12 kW and 15 kW ratings (17.5 A and 21.8 A) exceed it and need a G99 application before installation.
Can I run several inverters together?
Yes. The X3 Hybrid G4 supports on- and off-grid parallel operation up to 150 kW, so larger sites can add capacity without changing inverter type.
