PLENTICORE G3 three-phase hybrid inverter, 4–20 kW
Country: Germany · Model: PLENTICORE G3
The PLENTICORE G3 three-phase hybrid inverter covers 4–20 kW in three frame sizes, S, M and L, and within a frame size the power is raised in two steps without swapping the unit. It goes into private homes and small commercial PV plants with a battery that need three-phase backup.

Description
This third-generation unit works as a solar, hybrid or battery inverter in one housing. Three MPP trackers take modules across a 75…900 V working range, and input DC3 can be given to a high-voltage battery at 95–820 V. Maximum MPP current is 17 A for classes S and M and 30 A for class L, so high-current modules go on class L. During a grid outage the backup output feeds all three phases rather than a single dedicated circuit, at 7.0 kVA for S, 12.5 kVA for M and 20 kVA for L. Changeover takes under 5 s with the manual BackUp Switch and under 30 s with an automatic backup box. The IP65 housing weighs 21.8–24.3 kg and can hang on an outdoor wall at −20…+60 °C. The inverter is made in Germany.
How to choose
Choose the class by the grid connection and the backup load, with the PV array ranging from 6 kWp on the S 4.0 to 30 kWp on the L 20. A single-phase supply calls for the PLENTICORE MP at 3–7 kW instead. An existing PV plant that only lacks storage is easier to upgrade with the PLENTICORE BI 25 battery inverter at 25 kW. Sites from 30 kW without a battery are covered by the PIKO CI G2 grid-tied inverters at 30 and 50 kW.

FAQ
What is the maximum MPP current of the PLENTICORE G3?
17 A for classes S and M and 30 A for class L, so modules above 17 A need class L.
Which power classes does the PLENTICORE G3 come in?
Class S at 4–7 kW, M at 8.5–12.5 kW and L at 15–20 kW. Within a class the rating is raised without replacing the housing.
Does the PLENTICORE G3 offer three-phase backup power?
Yes, across the whole 4–20 kW line, at 7.0 kVA for S, 12.5 kVA for M and 20 kVA for L.
Which battery can be connected to the PLENTICORE G3?
Only a high-voltage battery, since input DC3 works within 95–820 V. Low-voltage packs fall outside that window.
