The Xantrex GT-series inverters have an
integrated, lockable 600 volt PV/Utility disconnect switch which may
eliminate the need for external disconnects in some locations. Its attached
wiring box provides protection for all AC and DC connections, eliminating
exposed wiring during inverter installation and removal. The wiring box
includes eight 3/4 inch knockouts and easy access DC and AC terminal blocks
that accept wire sizes from #14 to #6 AWG.
The GT is packaged in a NEMA 3R enclosure for outdoor installation. It incorporates a slotted, hook-style back plate. For large systems, multiple inverters can be mounted side by side centered on standard 16" stud spacing to reduce visible conduit and make installations look more attractive.
GT inverters come standard with a backlit 16-character two line Liquid Crystal Display. The display provides inverter power, daily and lifetime energy production, PV array voltage and current, utility voltage and frequency, time online "selling" today, fault messages, and two installer customizable screens. Tapping a finger close to the LCD activates the backlight display. With each tap, the display cycles through all the communication screens.
The LCD is always on standby, ready to provide information even at night. When inverters are daisy chained using standard CAT5 Ethernet cable, each inverter display will report the output of the entire system. The GT offers an isolated RS232 port and two Xanbus RJ45 communication ports. No additional communication ports or cards are needed to connect a PC.
Xantrex offers the GT Solar Inverter Viewer software, which can be downloaded from their Web site. The GT 3.0 provides 3000 watts of power up to 30°C (86°F) and 2,500 watts of power up to 45°C (113°F).

Sunny Boy Grid Tie Inverters
Inverters for residential, commercial, and industrial applications
The
SMA Sunny Boy inverters are the most widely used grid-tied PV inverter
in Europe and the US. SMA inverters available in sizes from 700 watt to 6000
watts allow them to fit a wide range of applications from small residental
systems to very large 3-phase industrial systems.
All SMA inverters come with LCD digital monitors that display instantanious power output, energy delivered during the current day and since the installation.
The SB700 and 1800 have 120 VAC output. The SB3000 and SB4000 are auto-sensing for use on 240 VAC and 208 VAC applications. The SB 5000, 6000 and 7000 can be used in 208, 240 and 277 VAC applications. SMA offers a wide range of accessories for communications and monitoring of the system. The SB 3000 and 4000 come with a DC disconnect switch and the SB 5000, 6000, and 7000 come with an AC/DC disconnect switch, each with an integrated fused series string combiner that connects to the bottom of the inverter.
The disconnect switches are housed in a NEMA 3R enclosure. All electronic components are in a sealed compartment. The SB 700 and SB 1800 are housed in a completely sealed stainless steel enclosure. Outdoor installation is recommended for the sealed inverters so natural air-flow can cool the heatsink.
The display cannot be used if optional remote
communication modules are used in the 1800U and 2500U inverters. The 2500U
is
available for use on 240 VAC and 208 VAC power. The 6000U can be used on
208, 240 and 277 VAC power. SMA offers a wide range of accessories for
communications and monitoring of the system.
The 3800U and 6000U is in a NEMA 3R enclosure but all electronics are in in a sealed compartment. All of the smaller inverters are housed in a completely sealed stainless steel enclosure. Outdoor installation is recommended for the sealed inverters so natural air flow can cool the heatsink. If these inverters are installed inside, the SunnyBreeze on the next page is recommended.
This chart (click here)
shows a typical module string size for many PV module brands
that can be used with each inverter. This number can vary depending on
maximum and minimum temperatures in the location where the system is
installed. For more details, consult your dealer or go to
http://www.sma-america.com on the web to use SMA’s string-sizing
software. All inverters are compliant with UL 1741, UL 1998, IEEE-929,
