The GoodWe ET PLUS+ 8 kW Inverter (GW8K-ET) is a high-voltage three-phase hybrid inverter designed to maximize self-consumption and ensure service continuity. It features UPS-type backup with switching <10 ms, allows 100% unbalanced output between phases, and offers high efficiency with fanless electronics (natural convection) in an IP66 outdoor-rated enclosure.
Applications and Advantages
- Self-consumption with HV battery: prioritizes loads, charges the battery, and exports surplus according to regulations.
- Instant backup: backup mode with switching <10 ms for sensitive loads.
- Flexibility: 100% unbalanced output in 3-phase to optimize phases with different demands.
- DC oversizing: up to ~150% compared to AC power (12 kW DC max recommended).
- Outdoor installation: IP66 and natural convection cooling, no fans.
