Certified to applicable standards including PTPIREE Type A, EN 62109-1, EN 61000, G99 and G100.
The Fogstar-LuxPowerTek GEN2-LB-EU 14K is a powerful 14kW single-phase hybrid inverter designed for larger residential and light-commercial solar PV and battery storage systems.
Operating at 230V and designed for integration with compatible Fogstar Energy 48V (51.2V) batteries, the GEN2-LB-EU 14K combines solar PV, battery storage, grid connection, generator support and high-power backup within one robust IP66-rated inverter.
With 14kW grid-connected output, 12kW UPS backup, up to 18kW of PV input and 250A battery charge/discharge capability, it provides considerably more power than a conventional residential hybrid inverter.
Three independent MPPTs provide excellent flexibility for solar arrays across multiple roof orientations, while parallel operation of up to 10 units allows the system to be expanded for larger installations.
