Using a dual-function inverter allows you to sell excess power to the utility, and also maintain a battery bank for standby power in the event of a utility power failure.

The Outback GTFX & GVFX, SmartRE, and the Xantrex XW series are primarily stand-alone inverters that function as an intertie inverter at the same time, but with a slightly lower efficiency than an inverter designed for intertie only.

The SMA Sunny Island inverter is designed to work with six Sunny Boy inverters to provide utility intertie with battery backup. In a typical installation, the inverter is connected to a battery bank, the utility power lines, a standby generator and the house load center.

If the utility is available, the inverter will supply the house loads from the utility. If the utility fails, the inverter will supply power to the loads from the battery. When the utility is available again, the inverter will switch the loads back to the utility, and recharge the batteries.

If the batteries become fully charged by another power source, such as photovoltaic modules or a wind or hydroelectric generator, excess power may be sold back to the utility.

 
Outback GTFX and GVFX Grid Intertie Inverters and Systems

The Outback GTFX and GVFX series is a grid-tie version of the FX inverters. Available as either turbo cooled and sealed, the GTFX, or internally ventilated, the GVFX. With these inverters you can sell solar, wind and hydro power back to the utility grid. When the utility power goes out, the inverter will automatically switch to battery power and your renewable sources to run your critical loads.

The inverter can be set so that either utility power or your renewable sources will recharge the battery after an outage. To prevent AC power draw at night, automatic "silent" sell mode is built in. Stacked inverters optimize conversion efficiency by matching the number of inverters to the amount of power being sold or used. Daily energy production is within a few percentage points of a batteryless grid tie system (depending on battery bank). 2 inverters can be stacked for 120/240v output.

Until the improved generator interface is developed, they are not recommended for off-grid use.

Two year warranty.

Xantrex XW Sine-Wave Battery-Based Inverter System – Off-Grid and Grid-Tie

The Xantrex XW Series hybrid inverter/charger offers an innovative, integrated design which minimizes external balance-of-system components allowing for much quicker and easier installation. The XW Series offers pure sine-wave capability as well as split-phase operation right out of the box for 120 VAC and/or 240 VAC solutions. Up to three units can be operated in parallel, offering 18 kW, 120/240 VAC power.

Certified to UL-1741 and CSA for grid-tie applications, the XW can be used as a grid-tie battery-backup inverter or an off-grid inverter. One or two XW MPPT charge controllers are required for PV grid-tie operation.

Unsurpassed surge capacity is achieved by using digital control to regulate the output voltage from dropping during surge. A full 200% rated output power is delivered to load under surge conditions. Efficient, power-factor-corrected, high-current multi-stage battery charging minimizes recharge time and electricity/fuel costs, and prolongs battery life.

The inverter display panel provides status-at-a-glance. LEDs indicate AC-in status, faults/warnings, equalize mode, and battery state of charge. Three-character LCD indicates output power or charge current.

The new wall-mount design is easier to install than the SW power panel. The power distribution panel includes all AC/DC disconnects and wiring so there is no need to individually purchase separate components. The distribution panel and conduit box is factory wired and labelled to support one inverter in a PART NUMBER -compliant manner, and it has wiring space and conduit and breaker knockouts to add up to three inverters and/or four charge controllers. Field reversible door with magnetic catch makes access to wiring easy.

Options include an XW connection kit for a second inverter, an XW conduit box for systems with more than two inverters or to retrofit XW inverters into existing systems which already have AC/DC disconnects. Conduit box/raceway has barriers to ensure separation between low-voltage communication cables and AC and DC wires.

XW-MPPT60-150 60A Solar Charge Controller with integrated PV ground fault protection accepts arrays with open-circuit voltage up to 150 VAC and employs dynamic maximum power point tracking.

The XW system control panel plugs into Xanbus network and provides a central user interface to configure and monitor all components in the system.


5-year warranty.
Dimensions of the inverter are 16" x 23" x 9".
The inverter is field-serviceable without needing to remove it from the wall.
