SolarEdge Inverter 3kW SE3000H-US000BNU4

The SolarEdge SE3000H-US is a 3.0kW residential string inverter engineered specifically to operate with SolarEdge power optimizers, delivering a CEC weighted efficiency of 99%—among the highest available in its class. Built on SolarEdge's HD-Wave technology, the SE3000H-US converts DC power from rooftop solar arrays into clean grid-ready AC power for homes and light commercial installations across North America.

Where string inverter efficiency matters

Residential solar systems lose measurable energy every time DC power is converted to AC — a fraction of a percent in efficiency can add up to thousands of kilowatt-hours over a system's lifetime. The SE3000H-US addresses this with a 99% CEC weighted efficiency rating, meaning nearly all power harvested at the panel level reaches the grid or household loads. For homeowners who want to maximize return on their solar investment without oversizing their array, this level of conversion performance makes a practical difference year over year.

Smartphone commissioning with SetApp

The SE3000H-US commissions entirely through the SolarEdge SetApp mobile application via a built-in Wi-Fi access point — no laptop, laptop cable, or display screen required. Installers connect directly from a smartphone to configure the inverter on-site, reducing setup time and eliminating a common source of commissioning delays. Once installed, the inverter provides built-in module-level monitoring through the SolarEdge monitoring platform, giving homeowners per-panel production visibility and installers remote diagnostic access.

Application scenarios

• Residential rooftop systems: Sized for smaller homes and single-phase grid-tied arrays of approximately 8–14 panels depending on panel wattage.
• Replacement installations: A direct-fit option for aging or failed inverters in existing SolarEdge optimizer-equipped systems, preserving module-level monitoring without rewiring.
• Indoor or outdoor mounting: NEMA 4X rating supports installation in garages, utility rooms, or exterior walls — the lightweight 22 lb. (10 kg) form factor simplifies both.
• Code-compliance-critical projects: Built-in rapid shutdown and arc fault protection satisfy NEC 2014 through 2023 requirements without additional external hardware.
• California Rule 21 installations: UL1741SA certification confirms grid compliance for California's CPUC Rule 21 requirements.

Advanced features

• Fixed nominal DC input voltage (380 Vdc): Allows longer string runs compared to variable-voltage designs, reducing the number of strings needed per array and simplifying conduit routing.
• Optional revenue grade metering (ANSI C12.20, 0.5% accuracy): Available on the SExxxxH-US000BEI4 variant for incentive program compliance and production reporting.
• Optional consumption metering (1% accuracy): Adds whole-home energy monitoring when paired with the appropriate current transformers (ordered separately).
• Nighttime power draw: Under 2.5W — negligible standby consumption that doesn't offset daytime generation.

System compatibility

The SE3000H-US is designed exclusively for use with SolarEdge power optimizers and is not compatible with third-party optimizers or standard string configurations without optimizers. It supports 1–2 DC input strings via 1-inch conduit (14–6 AWG) and outputs to a single-phase 240V grid connection via 1-inch conduit (14–6 AWG). Communication with the SolarEdge monitoring platform occurs via RS485 or Ethernet; optional wireless modules (SolarEdge Home Network, Wi-Fi, or cellular) are available separately. For expanded monitoring capabilities, the inverter integrates with the broader SolarEdge Home ecosystem including battery storage and EV charging where those products are deployed.

Why choose the SolarEdge SE3000H-US?

The SolarEdge SE3000H-US is the right choice for homeowners and installers who want the highest inverter efficiency available in a compact, lightweight residential package without sacrificing safety compliance or monitoring depth. Its 99% CEC efficiency, integrated NEC 2014–2023 rapid shutdown, and smartphone commissioning via SetApp eliminate the three most common friction points in residential solar installations: energy loss at conversion, code compliance complexity, and time-consuming on-site setup. For systems already running SolarEdge optimizers, the SE3000H-US is the natural inverter match.

Single Phase 3.0kW SetAPP Inverter with HD-Wave Technology (-40 degrees C to 60 degrees C)

The SetAPP version of SolarEdge's 3kW single phase inverter boasts record-breaking efficiency with max continuous output current of 12.5A. SetAPP enabled inverters are designed for easier commissioning to be done with your smartphone and the SolarEdge SetAPP.

Note! Should be paired with Solaredge optimizers. Make sure the optimizers you choose are compatible with your solar panels.
