About the Sun Tie XR

Standard Features

All-in-one design

All necessary DC input and AC output connections, disconnects and

 

circuit breakers are housed within the Sun Tie XR’s easily installed,

 

compact enclosure. A built-in LCD display panel provides easy-to-read

 

system status and daily cumulative energy production information. Two

 

status LEDs inside the unit also provide operating and troubleshooting

 

information.

Uses most types of

The Sun Tie XR is designed to take advantage of most types of solar

PV technology

electric technologies. The inverter allows up to 120 VDC open circuit PV

 

modules to be used, so it will work with both crystalline and thin film PV

 

modules.

Sun Sweep™

Sun SweepTM is Xantrex’s proprietary Maximum Power Point Tracking

Maximum Power

technology that allows the Sun Tie XR to harvest the maximum amount

of energy from your solar array. No matter what PV system you choose—

(MPPT)

single crystalline, polycrystalline or thin film—SunSweepTMlearns your

 

array’s specific characteristics, maximizing its output all day, all season,

 

year after year.

High efficiency

The high-frequency, solid-state design of the Sun Tie XR inverter is

 

extremely efficient. Above 500 watts, the inversion process is 90%

 

efficient (or greater) with a peak efficiency of 91%.

Expandable

Sun Tie XR inverters may be connected in a parallel configuration for

 

increasing net metering capacity. The modular expandability of the

 

Sun Tie XR Series allows for system growth.

Meets standards and

The Sun Tie XR has complete on-board islanding protection and meets

requirements

U.S. and Canadian safety operating standards and code requirements.
