Single-phase Hybrid Inverter 3,68kW ZCS HYD3.6K-HP
Single-phase hybrid inverter ZCS Azzurro HYD3.6K-HP, AC power 3,68 kW, 48V lithium battery with charge/discharge up to 5 kW. Integrated EPS backup, energy meter with CT included, IP65 protection rating.
The ZCS Azzurro HYD3.6K-HP single-phase hybrid inverter (ZSS HP series) integrates photovoltaic generation and storage in a single compact system, designed for residential systems up to 3,68 kW of AC power. Compatible only with 48V lithium batteries supplied by Zucchetti Centro Sistemi, it offers an EPS backup function and compliance with the CEI 0-21 standard for connection to the distribution grid.
Why choose a 3,68 kW HP hybrid inverter?
The HYD-HP series is designed for small to medium-sized single-phase systems where compact, responsive storage is required: the 48V lithium battery, managed by dual MPPT with input up to 600V, allows charging and discharging up to 5 kW of power, higher than the inverter’s nominal AC power. This means faster battery charging times compared to systems where the two power values are the same.

When is the HYD-HP inverter used in a photovoltaic system?
Being single-phase and below the 11,08 kW threshold set by the CEI 0-21 standard, the HYD3.6K-HP uses the interface protection integrated in the inverter: no external SPI panel with calibrated relay and separate test report is required, reducing installation costs and time compared to larger systems. It is suitable for homes with moderate consumption that want to maximize self-consumption with compact storage.
What can you do with it in everyday life?
With a 5 kWh battery connected to this inverter, an average family can cover several evening hours without sunlight: enough for a refrigerator running all night, home LED lighting, TV for a few hours, and one washing machine cycle. In the event of a blackout, the EPS function keeps the essential loads connected to the backup circuit powered, without having to wait for the grid to be restored.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the HYD-HP series and the HYD ZP1 series?
They are two different families: the ZP1 works with high-voltage batteries (300-435V) from the ZBT range, while the HP uses low-voltage (48V) lithium batteries. The HP also has a standard 5-year warranty compared to 10 for the ZP1, extendable to 10 years with product registration.
Which batteries is the HYD3.6K-HP compatible with?
Only with 48V lithium batteries from the Zucchetti range dedicated to the HP series (voltage range 42-58V). It is not compatible with the high-voltage ZBT batteries used by the ZP1/ZP3 series.
Is an external panel required to connect this inverter to the grid?
No. Below the 11,08 kW set by the CEI 0-21 standard, the interface protection integrated in the inverter is sufficient: no external SPI panel with calibrated relay is required.
How does the backup work in the event of a blackout?
The integrated EPS function automatically powers the loads connected to the dedicated backup circuit, with power surge capacity for 60 seconds to manage the startup of appliances with high initial absorption.
Does the energy meter need to be purchased separately?
No, the HYD3.6K-HP already includes the energy meter with its CT (current transformer) for monitoring energy flows between the grid, photovoltaic system, battery, and loads.
