The Sungrow SG8.0RT inverter is a three-phase string inverter for residential and commercial photovoltaic systems. It has 2 independent MPPTs, supporting up to 2 strings on the first and 1 string on the second, and a recommended maximum PV power of up to 12 kWp. Its maximum efficiency is 98.5%, and its European efficiency is approximately 97.8%.

It includes protection against DC reverse polarity, AC short circuits, leakage current and surges, as well as ground fault monitoring. It features a built-in DC switch and Type II surge protection on the DC and AC sides, and supports AFCI and the PID Recovery Function. WLAN, Ethernet and RS485 communication options enable connection to Sungrow’s iSolarCloud monitoring system.
