Description
Comprehensive cell-level monitoring with integrated motorized DC isolation.
Pylontech FC1000 is the next-generation high-voltage master battery management system (BMS) controller unit that sits atop Pylontech Force-H3 battery columns, managing active cell balancing, motorized DC contactor isolation, and seamless hybrid inverter communication up to 1000 V DC.
1000 V Master High-Voltage Architecture
Oversees 2 to 7 series-connected FH10050 modules (10.24 kWh to 35.84 kWh / 204.8 V to 716.8 V), delivering peak efficiency for residential and commercial inverters.
50 A High-Throughput Power Handling
Drives up to 35 kW of continuous DC battery charge and discharge power into leading European hybrid inverters.
Cable-Free Slide-and-Lock Mating
Plugs directly into the top battery module via internal self-aligning busbars, eliminating external DC jumper conduits.
IP55 Weatherproof Outdoor Construction
Sealed die-cast housing designed for unheated garages, cellars, and sheltered outdoor alcoves (-10 to +50 °C).
More product details
Managing high-voltage series battery strings up to 716.8 V nominal requires precision telemetry. The FC1000 aggregates real-time data from sub-BMS chips inside every FH10050 module, balancing cell states and managing DC contactors.
- Real-time monitoring of individual cell voltages, module temperatures, and insulation resistance to ground.
- Integrated motorized DC circuit breaker automatically isolates the stack during overcurrent, short circuit, or thermal events.
- CAN and Modbus RTU communication interfaces support major inverter protocols (GoodWe ET 15–50 kW, SMA, Kostal, Sungrow, Solis).

Internal busbar mating for clean, tool-free installation.
Traditional high-voltage battery cabinets require routing external DC cables between modules and the master controller. The FC1000 slides directly onto the top module, engaging high-voltage and communication busbars internally. Self-aligning guide pins ensure perfect mechanical seating and electrical contact upon placement. Eliminates exposed high-voltage DC wiring on garage and utility room walls, maximizing residential safety. Compact 580 × 380 × 170 mm dimensions preserve low ceiling clearance in domestic basements.
Holds the 172.8 to 921.6 VDC window
Assembled Force-H3 towers sit in 172.8 to 921.6 VDC. The head itself works from 80 to 1000 VDC.
Takes CANBUS or Modbus RTU
The hybrid hears one battery. CANBUS and Modbus RTU both leave this head. Limits and alarms travel on that link.
Fits a 12 kg, 150 mm crown
The head is 540 by 350 by 150 mm. One FC1000 weighs 12 kg. It lands last on the FH10050 stack.
Technical data
Centralizing cell-level safety, active balancing, and hybrid inverter communication across 10 to 35 kWh stacks.
1000 V / 50 A high-voltage master BMS controller for Pylontech Force-H3 columns.
Engineered as the intelligence and safety gateway for Pylontech Force-H3 high-capacity storage towers, the FC1000 sits directly on the top battery module. It oversees real-time cell balancing, state-of-charge calculation, and motorized DC isolation across 10.24 to 35.84 kWh stacks, broadcasting telemetry to leading hybrid inverters via high-speed CAN and Modbus protocols.

What inverters are natively compatible with the FC1000 master controller?
GoodWe ET series (5–50 kW), SMA Sunny Boy / Tripower Smart Energy, Kostal PLENTICORE, Sungrow SH series. Per Pylontech's compatibility matrix (Ver. 2.40), the Force-H3 with FC1000 controller (firmware $\ge 1.6$) is certified for native plug-and-play communication with GoodWe ET (5k to 50k), SMA Smart Energy, Kostal PLENTICORE, and Sungrow commercial hybrid inverters.
What is the continuous charge/discharge current limit of this controller?
50 A continuous (up to approx. 35 kW DC power at 716 V). The controller's internal motorized contactors and power bus are rated for 50 A continuous DC current, allowing high-power commercial inverters to cycle the battery bank at high speeds during peak tariff windows.
