The Xantrex Grid Tie Solar Inverter (GT Series) is designed to convert
photovoltaic (PV) electricity produced by solar modules into utility-grade
power that can be used by the home or sold to the local electrical utility.
Offering high efficiency (up to 96.0 %), clean aesthetics, high reliability,
and a low installed cost, through ease of installation and integrated features,
the GT Series is a proven, high-frequency design in a compact enclosure.
The GT Series may be installed as a single inverter, for a single PV array,
or in a multiple-inverter configuration for large PV arrays.
Technology
-
An NEC compliant, integrated DC/AC disconnect, standard
in the GT Series, eliminates the need for external DC (PV) disconnects,
and in some jurisdictions, AC disconnects
-
Large heat-sink offers extraordinary heat dispersion
without the need for a cooling fan
-
Liquid crystal display (LCD) provides instantaneous
information – power level, daily and lifetime energy production, PV
array voltage and current, utility voltage and frequency, time online “selling”, fault
messages, and installer-customized screens
-
LCD vibration sensor allows the tap of a finger
to turn backlight on and to cycle through display screens
-
Free PC software for remote monitoring and system
troubleshooting available online
Installation
-
Flexible module selection and sizing due to wide
PV input MPPT tracking voltage range
