With a maximum efficiency of 97.60%, a Euro efficiency of 96.80%, and an MPPT tracking efficiency of 99.80%, the F3600 delivers high conversion performance across two independent MPPT trackers, each accepting up to 20 A input. It features a wide MPPT operating range of 60 V to 550 V, a maximum input voltage of 600 V, and a total maximum DC input of 7,200 W (4,000 W per MPPT). The F3600 G3 is IP65 rated for outdoor installation, weighs 9.5 kg or less, and measures 358 x 335 x 155 mm. It includes internal WiFi for monitoring via FoxCloud V2.0 and is battery ready for future upgrade when paired with a Fox ESS charge controller. Available from DECO Group, a UK solar wholesaler for trade installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKey Technical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePart number: FE-F3600-G3\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eModel: F3600\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInverter type: Single-phase grid-tie, non-isolated topology\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRated output power: 3,600 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaximum output apparent power: 3,960 VA\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNominal AC current: 16.4 A\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaximum AC current: 18.0 A\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInrush current: 7.9 A @ 50 µs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRated grid voltage: 220\/230\/240 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRated grid frequency: 50\/60 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDisplacement power factor: 1 (adjustable from 0.8 leading to 0.8 lagging)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTotal harmonic distortion (THDi): less than 3% at rated output\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaximum PV input power: 7,200 W (maximum 4,000 W per MPPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaximum input voltage: 600 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMPPT voltage range: 60 V to 550 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMPPT voltage range (full load): 100 V to 550 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNominal DC operating voltage: 360 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eStart-up voltage (LCD): 60 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eStart-up voltage (operation): 80 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaximum DC input current: 20 A \/ 20 A (per MPPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaximum short-circuit current: 26 A \/ 26 A (per MPPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaximum inverter backfeed current to array: 0 mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMPPT quantity: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eStrings per MPPT: 1 + 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMPPT efficiency: 99.80%\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaximum efficiency: 97.60%\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEuro efficiency: 96.80%\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eConnector: MC4 (2 included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDC switch: Optional\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAFCI: Optional\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNight mode: Optional\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSurge protection: Type II (DC) and Type II (AC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCommunication: Meter, CT, RS485\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMonitoring: Internal WiFi;
