About the Xantrex Grid Tie Solar Inverter
975-0131-01-01 1–3
PV compatibility The GT Inverte r is designe d to ta ke a dvantage of solar module s configur ed a s high
voltage PV string arrays—single crystalline, poly crystalline, or thin film—with a
195 to 550 Vdc input voltage Maximum Power Point range.
Maximum Power
Point Tracking
(MPPT)
The GT Inverter uses Xantrex proprietary Maximum Power Point Tracking
(MPPT) technology to harvest the maximum amount of energy from the solar
array. MPPT learns your array’s specific characteristics, maximizing its output at
all times.
High efficiency The high-frequency, solid-state design of the GT Inverter is extremely efficient—
up to 95%.
Expandable Multiple GT Inverters may be connected in a parallel configur ation for increased
net metering capacity or future system growth.
Communications
protocol The GT Inverter uses the Xanbus® Communications protocol, enabling it to
communicate with other units connected in para llel within the system. For more
information, see “Xanbus Network Technology” on page 3–12.
Standard Features
The GT Inverter has the following standard features:
•Sealed inverter section with multiple wiring options to facilitate a variety of
installation requirements (e.g., hard-wired , “quick-connects,” wiring box with
terminals, or with AC/DC disconnect);
•LCD providing easy-to-read system status and daily cumulative energy
production information;
•Two LED indicator lights providing status and ground fault indication;
•Wiring box providing protection for all AC and DC connections and
eliminating exposed “live” wiring if the inverter is removed.
WARNING: Shock hazard
The 600 volt DC/AC disconnect in the wiring box meets NEC Article 690. It is a non-
serviceable component and shall remain in place. Removal can expose energized
conductors.
