The rugged NEMA 6 rated 8kW HiQ TS480-8k is a 3-phase 480V grid-tie string inverter that manages two strings of solar modules, with independent MPPT and exceptional monitoring capabilities.
The HiQ TS480-8k may be used in rooftop and ground-mount grid-tie PV applications. It is popular for commercial buildings, carports and ground mounted PV power plants. It is often the first choice for desert, coastal and mountain installations with hostile environments such as sand, salt mist, extreme heat and extreme cold.

Applications
Ground-mounted PV Power Plants
Modular design allows for easy installation, configuration and monitoring on a large scale in any environment.
Rooftop Commercial
Usable where other solutions just won’t work - for example coastal, desert & high altitude locations.
Carports / Parking Shade Structures
Units may be mounted at any orientation; under modules, on racking, without extra
strengthening. This allows installers to place components out of sight and clear of risk of liability from vandalism.

No combiner boxes required
Reduced wiring costs
Lower cost labor
Maintenance-free
Easy to Commission
The HiQ Touchscreen Gateway allows a True String inverter solar PV system to commuicate with the Internet and provides convenient direct access to monitoring your system's performance.
Fast Gateway auto-discovery of new hardware
Easy to check strings for mis-wiring, performance issues - every string is monitored, direct read-out of voltages
Comprehensive monitoring
Touch-screen Gateway connects into 277VAC branch circuit
Gateway communicates over power lines, translates into no extra wiring and no wireless blind
spots etc.
Optional RS485 Modbus® interface
Easy to troubleshoot
Once the Gateway is installed, fast updates and per-string monitoring make it easy to quickly identify under-performing
modules, faulty connectors etc. Fast plug & play unit swaps, easy sparing with another HiQ TS480-8k.
