About the Xantrex Grid Tie Solar Inverter

 

 

PV compatibility

The GT Inverter is designed to take advantage of solar modules configured as 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

The GT Inverter uses Xantrex proprietary Maximum Power Point Tracking

Point Tracking

(MPPT) technology to harvest the maximum amount of energy from the solar

(MPPT)

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 networked together for increased net metering

 

capacity or future system growth.

Communications

The GT Inverter uses the Xanbus® communications protocol, enabling it to

protocol

communicate with multiple units connected within the system. For more

 

information, see “Xanbus Network Technology” on page 3–8.

Standard Features

The GT Inverter has the following standard features:

•Sealed inverter (IP54) and external heat sink to protect power electronic components

•Quick-connect AC and DC connections

•Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to provide easy-to-read system status and daily cumulative energy production information

•Two LED indicator lights to provide status and ground fault indication.
