Huawei SUN2000-12K-MB0

The Huawei SUN2000-12K-MB0 is a three-phase hybrid string inverter for PV systems with storage and energy management requirements. It operates transformerless with two MPP trackers and four DC string inputs, enabling flexible mapping of different string lengths and roof orientations. With a rated AC output of 12,000W and a maximum apparent power of 13,200VA, it is suitable for demanding residential and small commercial applications. The maximum DC input voltage of 1,100V allows long strings and reduces line losses. The high efficiency of up to 98.4% improves annual energy yields. Integrated safety features such as AI-based arc fault detection (AFCI) and the IP66 protection rating support reliable outdoor operation. Optional communication dongles allow integration of the inverter into monitoring and energy management systems.

• TechnologyThe inverter uses a modern hybrid topology in a three-phase design and is intended for combined operation of PV generator, grid, and battery system. Two independent MPP trackers, each with two string inputs, enable precise maximum power point tracking even with shaded or differently oriented generator areas. The MPPT operating range of 200V to 1,000V covers both short and long string concepts, while the full-load range from 370V ensures stable performance at high DC voltages. The integrated AFCI function detects arc faults at string level at an early stage, thereby increasing the electrical safety of the system during operation.
  
  Performance and protection concept
  • Transformerless topology for high efficiency and low weight compared to galvanically isolated systems
  • AI-supported arc fault detection to minimize risks in the event of DC faults
  • IP66 enclosure for permanent use in protected and unprotected outdoor areas
  • High DC voltage resistance up to 1,100V for low-loss string design
• ConnectivityThe basic communication of the SUN2000-12K-MB0 is provided via an integrated RS485 interface, which is used in particular for connecting meters, batteries, or energy management devices. For monitoring, remote maintenance, and commissioning, the inverter can be expanded with optional smart dongles for Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or 4G mobile communication. This allows the device to be flexibly integrated into various IT and network infrastructures. Commissioning and parameterization are carried out conveniently via the FusionSolar app, reducing time on site and simplifying initial system checks.
