KNOX ASW8K-LT-G2 (pV 12kW) 26A/13A-ISC 40A-20A

✅ What is ASW 8K-LT-G2 — main specs & features

• The ASW 8K-LT-G2 is a three-phase on-grid solar inverter rated for 8,000 W (8 kW) AC output. 

  It supports a maximum PV array (DC) input of up to ~12,000 Wp STC — meaning you can connect solar panels whose total rated power is up to ~12 kW. 

• It has two independent MPPT inputs (i.e. you can connect two strings / strings-groups of solar panels independently), which helps in optimizing output when panel strings have different orientations or shading. The MPPT (DC input) voltage range is 150 V to 1000 V, with a rated input around 630 V — giving a lot of flexibility in how you wire your panels. 

• Max DC input voltage (open-circuit) supported: ~1100 V. Output side: supports standard AC nominal voltages (220/380 V, 230/400 V, 240/415 V) on a 3-phase feed, making it suitable for typical residential / small commercial supply systems. Efficiency is high: up to ≈ 98.6% (max), ~98.2% “European efficiency” — good for maximizing yield from your panels. 

• Protection & build quality: It’s rated IP65 / IP66 (depending on version/source) — dust- and water-resistant, meaning it can be mounted outdoors, which is useful for rooftop installations in Pakistan. Additional “smart” / modern features: Communication interfaces supporting Wi-Fi and RS485 (some versions list LAN / optional 4G too) — helps for remote monitoring / managing the system. 

✅ In short: This inverter is a modern, fairly powerful — yet still “consumer-level / residential-usable” — 8 kW three-phase on-grid inverter, with flexibility (panel wiring & array size), efficiency and build quality that match well with typical rooftop solar needs.

🔄 What this means in practice for a home / rooftop solar setup (e.g. Faisalabad)

When ASW 8K-LT-G2 makes sense:

• If you plan to install a solar array around 8 kW (AC) or have PV panels totalling ~10–12 kWp — the inverter can handle that comfortably.

• If you want flexibility in panel strings — maybe panels on different roof faces / orientations — dual-MPPT helps maximize yield.

• For a moderately large house (lots of appliances, maybe some heavy loads), three-phase output helps distribute load evenly across phases (less risk of overloading a single phase).

• Because of high efficiency and broad input voltage range, if you use modern high-efficiency or bifacial/high-capacity solar panels, they’ll work well with this inverter.

• Outdoor installation: IP-rated protection helps against dust, heat, occasional rain — relevant for Faisalabad climate.

What you get beyond a basic 5–6 kW inverter: more headroom (both in PV array size and load), more efficiency and future-proofing if you later expand or upgrade your PV setup.

🎯 My Take — Use-Case / Recommendation (Given Typical Pakistani Setup)

If you’re aiming for a full-house solar system (not just small rooftop / minimal load), or want to get good return / yield from larger PV arrays, the 8 kW LT-G2 inverter is a smart “sweet-spot”. It gives a good balance between power/flexibility and cost (vs going for heavy commercial-grade inverters).

If your solar plan is modest (say 4–6 kW panels only, limited appliances), a 5–6 kW inverter might suffice — but if you expect growth (more panels, heavy load, future expansion), the 8 kW LT-G2 is future-proof.
