Xantrex GT Grid Tie Inverters

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). For added protection from heat in desert extremes or south facing inverter installations, an optional fan kit can be ordered.

UL listed.

5- year warranty standard, a 5 year extension is available

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, EEE-1547, FCC Part 15 A & B. The new SMA inverters now have a standard 10-year warranty.

Sunny Beam Wireless System Monitor

With the new Sunny Beam wireless system monitor from SMA you can remotely monitor the performance of your PV system without wires. It also stores a month’s worth of production data for review at any time. The Sunny Beam can monitor up to four inverters and provide simultaneous display of output power, daily energy, and energy total. The Sunny Beam automatically logs each day’s energy production and displays it in graph format for the past thirty days.

Based on the Energy Production of the PV plant, the Sunny Beam will also calculate the amount of CO2 and money that has been saved by the plant. The built-in solar cell keeps the internal batteries fully charged. The internal batteries may also be recharged via the built-in USB port. The Sunny Beam is compatible with both old and new Sunny Boys and is an excellent upgrade to an existing system. Data from the Sunny Beam can also be displayed and saved to a PC with Sunny Data Control software. The Sunny Beam menus are easily navigated with a simple selector knob. The Sunny Beam comes with an antenna modules for one inverter. Monitor up to 3 additional inverters by purchasing additional antenna modules.

5 year warranty.

FRONIUS IG Inverters  
 

The FRONIUS IG inverters offer high efficiency, precision MPP-tracking, and intelligent thermal management, all of which result in superior energy output from grid-tied photovoltaic systems. Their wide input voltage range (150-450 volts) permit the use of modules in any power and voltage range. Their light weight and innovative mounting hardware make them very easy to install.Built-in DC and AC disconnects eliminate the need for external breakers in some cases, reducing total system costs. FRONIUS IG inverters come standard with an integrated LCD that displays and records over 20 parameters pertaining to inverter and system operation. Fronius inverters have 3 expansion slots that allow you to add features, such as external sensors and remote displays. You can use a personal computer to update the inverter with the latest software upgrades.The larger inverters (over 3kw) are built with the same power stages as the smaller ones, but use 2 of them. When these inverters see less than 1/2 array capacity, one stage turns off, giving the inverter higher efficiency during periods of low insolation. UL listed.

7-year warranty.

FRONIUS IG Wireless Personal Display
 

The FRONIUS IG Personal Display is easy to install and easy to use. The readout and interface are based on the same display that comes standard on all FRONIUS IG Series inverters. Although tested to 150 feet indoors and 500 feet outdoors, there are many reports from the field of the units transmitting from much farther distances.

The Personal Display can aggregate data for up to 15 FRONIUS IG inverters or show data for each individual inverter in a system – i.e., data from a system that is over 75 kW AC can be viewed together or as sub-systems. It shows instantaneous data such as power, voltage and current, and it will store the daily and cumulative. The display offers two levels of access: easy and pro. In the easy level, homeowners can view system basics like power, energy output, CO2 offset, and the number of dollars saved; meanwhile, the pro level offers more advanced users information like voltage, current and grid frequency.

The unit was designed with a backlit display and a stylish silver case to attract the attention of solar enthusiasts and their visitors alike. The display can mount on a wall near a thermostat or clock, or be placed on the coffee table or nightstand.A wireless card is required for each inverter to be monitored.

FRONIUS IG Public Display
 

The FRONIUS Public Display is constructed on the plug & play principle. Just insert the plug-in card or box and any cables supplied, select the display values and away you go. The complete package includes interface and alphanumeric large-format display. The data of up to 100 inverters, can be selected for the rotating display. One value in the group is picked as the favourite and is then displayed every second time the value changes.

The following values can be displayed: AC-Power – Total Energy – Energy/Day - Energy/Year - CO2 Total - CO2/Year - CO2/Day - Total Earnings – Earnings/Day – Earnings/Year - Date & Time. A Com Card (30.3425 on next page) must be installed in each inverter to be monitored.
