SolaX X1-IES 3.7kW: The Smart Hybrid Inverter for Smaller Solar Setups
Engineered for households starting their solar-plus-storage journey, the SolaX X1-IES 3.7kW hybrid inverter delivers efficient energy management, seamless battery integration, and automatic EPS switchover. With dual MPPT inputs, it’s a great match for UK homes with modest generation capacity or shaded roof layouts.
Flexible Solar Design with Dual MPPT Inputs
The X1-IES 3.7kW supports up to 7.5kW of PV input through two independent MPPTs, allowing arrays to be split across different roof aspects. This helps maximise yield even on properties with limited or angled roof space.
- Up to 200% PV oversizing (7.5kW input)
- Dual MPPTs for varied roof orientations
- Integrated export control via CT clamp
Hybrid Storage Ready for SolaX & Third-Party Batteries
This inverter pairs perfectly with SolaX high-voltage batteries and also supports other CAN or RS485-compatible storage systems. It forms a central part of a fully integrated solar and storage setup.
- Compatible with SolaX Triple Power & IES batteries
- Up to 20.4kWh battery support
- Fast response times for charging and discharging
Seamless EPS Backup for Home Resilience
With built-in emergency power supply support, the X1-IES 3.7kW ensures your home can stay powered during outages. Switchover happens in less than 10 milliseconds , fast enough for most essential appliances.
- EPS backup with <10ms switch time
- 200% EPS overcurrent for 10s
- Safe, stable power during grid outages
Durability and Compliance for UK Installations
With an IP66-rated casing and full UK certification, the X1-IES 3.7kW is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. Its intelligent cooling and online diagnostics make it reliable year-round, even in variable British weather.
- IP66 weather-resistant enclosure
- G99 grid compliant
- 10-year manufacturer warranty
