EU-A Series single-phase hybrid inverter, 7.2 kW, IP66

One model, done properly

The EU-A is a single-model series: 7.2 kW, 48 V battery, two MPPTs, IP66. That focus is deliberate. In the European residential market, 7 kW is the size that fits a heat-pump house, and the differences between a 6 kW and an 8 kW model are less important than whether the inverter can go outdoors and whether it can take two roof orientations.

Two MPPT channels at 10.5 kW total cover an east/west array, or a roof plus a garage array, without the losses of a single tracker. 160 A of charge current fills a 15 kWh battery in about four hours, which is the window a winter day actually offers.

IP66 in a residential setting

Most European houses put the meter cabinet on an outside wall, and the inverter follows it. IP66 removes the need for a plant room or a ventilated cabinet — but not the need to shade the unit. A dark enclosure in direct summer sun will derate; on a south wall, fit a hood or move to the north side.

Time windows and smart load

Six programmable charge and discharge windows let the inverter follow a time-of-use tariff rather than a fixed schedule. The smart-load output switches a heat pump or a water heater on when PV is surplus, which is often a better use of a midday peak than exporting at a low tariff.
