Knox Zynex ZX-3M-0816 8kW Hybrid Solar Inverter
The Knox Zynex ZX-3M-0816 8kW Hybrid Solar Inverter is a next-generation single-phase inverter designed for residential and commercial solar systems requiring powerful PV capacity, battery backup and intelligent energy management.
With an 8kW rated output, support for up to 16,000Wp PV array power, three independent MPPT trackers and an IP66-rated enclosure, the Zynex ZX-3M-0816 is designed for both on-grid and off-grid solar applications.
16kW PV Array with 3 Independent MPPTs
The Zynex 8kW supports up to 16,000Wp maximum PV array power, providing up to 200% PV oversizing capability. Unlike conventional dual-MPPT inverters, the Zynex uses three independent MPPT trackers for greater flexibility when designing solar strings.
It supports a maximum PV voltage of 550V, a wide 40–530V MPPT range and up to 20A input current per MPPT.
48V Lithium & Lead-Acid Battery Support
The inverter supports a 40–60V low-voltage battery system and is compatible with both LiFePO4 lithium and lead-acid batteries. CAN communication provides BMS integration with compatible lithium batteries.
The 8kW model supports up to 190A maximum battery charging and discharging current.
Fast UPS-Grade Backup
With a backup switching time of less than 10 milliseconds, the Zynex series is designed to provide fast transition to backup power when used with a suitable battery system.
High Solar Efficiency
The inverter provides up to 99.9% MPPT efficiency and up to 97.6% overall efficiency, helping maximize the usable energy harvested from the solar array.
ShadeSol Shadow Management
Knox’s ShadeSol shadow management technology is designed to improve solar harvesting where panel strings experience partial shading or changing sunlight conditions.
IP66 Protection
The IP66-rated enclosure provides strong protection against dust and water ingress, allowing greater flexibility for indoor and outdoor installations when installed according to manufacturer requirements.
On-Grid, Off-Grid & Generator Support
The Zynex platform supports on-grid and off-grid operation together with battery and generator integration. Multi-source black-start capability provides additional flexibility for backup-oriented solar systems.
Smart Monitoring
System performance can be monitored through the KNOX App. Communication options include Wi-Fi, LAN, RS485 Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP.
