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.

Indoor Systems

Choose either a 24 or 48 volt system with sealed or ventilated inverters.

SmartRE is the revolutionary Smart Renewable Energy solution from OutBack Power, bringing you simplified grid-tie solar with back-up power for residential and small commercial applications. Designed with an emphasis on ease of installation, a SmartRE solution installs and operates similarly to basic grid-tie solar inverters but with the unique additional benefit of providing UPS quality battery back-up during utility outages. An integrated ultra-fast AC transfer switch guarantees that even sensitive back-up loads, like computers, never know when a utility outage occurs. Recommended AGM batteries are maintained and charged by an innovative OutBack multi-stage charging process. This valuable feature assists in providing reliable back-up power and a battery life up to 10 years.

The SmartRE is a versatile product and can be installed both indoor and outdoors. Available in power levels up to 6 kw SmartRE is capable of providing as much as 69 kWh of storage during outages, there is a SmartRE solution for your application. With matching type 3R raintight power and electronics enclosures constructed of aluminum a SmartRE solution can be either wall or pad mounted making this the most versatile grid-tie with battery backup solution on the market. This solution is designed and manufactured by OutBack Power to ensure that a SmartRE solution works reliably for years to come. A standard 5-year warranty provides peace of mind.

Ease of installation, UPS quality battery back-up, and solutions as large as 6 kW along with proven OutBack engineering makes the SmartRE system the SMART choice for a premium Grid-Interactive solar power system.

SmartRE systems are new from OutBack so please call for pricing information.

PRICING & PURCHASE

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.
