GRID-TIE INVERTERS

GT Series Grid Tie Solar Inverters - 60 Hz Models

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
Lightweight and versatile mounting bracket
Easy access DC (photovoltaic) and AC (utility) terminal block simplifies wiring
Rugged NEMA 3R inverter enclosure allows reliable indoor and outdoor installations

Performance

Best-in-class efficiency to maximize solar system return on investment
Accurate MPPT tracking ensures maximum energy harvest under any conditions
FCC Part B compliance provides less external electronic interference

Serviceability

10-year standard warranty
Sealed inverter enclosure can be quickly separated from the wiring box allowing DC/AC connections to remain intact in the unlikely event the inverter needs to be serviced
