Front Panel Display Screens and What They Mean

*In a multiple unit system with communications cables properly installed, the system values displayed are for the entire system. For example, in a two-inverter system, if inverter #1 is producing 1500 W and inverter #2 is producing 2000 W, both inverters display a total system power of 3500 W. Time online and array readings are for the local inverter and PV array associated with that inverter.

Additional

In addition, to the normal system message screens, additional screens specific to

messages for

each GT Inverter unit can be displayed when the unit is networked to other GT

multiple unit

Inverters. These screens are only available on multiple unit systems.
