Hi I have been quoted on a system comprising
16 x 535 watt panels
FoxEss H1 G2 hybrid inverter
FoxESS ep12 plus battery
Questions
Is this a good system.?
Is the inverter a good one. I’ve seen mention of a K series and am assuming that is more recent?
Is there a lot of cost difference between the two and is it worth the difference (assuming that I can have that as the inverter )
Thanks in advance first dipping my toes into the solar power options

That is a good size of system, the H1 G2 is the latest generation of the H series inverter, the H series is a ‘small’ domestic hybrid inverter and has output sizes from 3kw to 6kw with 2 independent strings.

With 16*535 watt panels I would hope you are being quoted for the H1 6.0 (6kw output) which will need G99 approval from your DNO.

The KH inverter is the next size of inverter up, being a large domestic single phase inverter from 7 to 10.5kW output and can support either 3 or 4 strings.

If the 16 panels is the maximum you can fit then the H series will be the best size for you, if there is a chance you can add further panels to your system in the future you might want to consider getting the KH instead which would give you that extra expansion capability, if not stay with the H series - price wise there is only a few hundred pounds between them.

Thanks Dave I could expand at a later date if I put panels on the garage would I need to increase the battery size as well? Currently going to be EP12 plus

Sorry I should have confirmed it is the 6 kWh inverter
