PV compatibility The GT Inverter is designed to take advantage of solar modules configured as high
voltage PV string arrays—single crystalline, poly crystalline, or thin film—with a
195 to 550 Vdc input voltage Maximum Power Point range.
Maximum Power
Point Tracking
(MPPT) The GT Inverter uses Xantrex proprietary Maximum Power Point Tracking
(MPPT) technology to harvest the maximum amount of energy from the solar
array. MPPT learns your array’s specific characteristics, maximizing its output at
all times.
High efficiency The high-frequency, solid-state design of the GT Inverter is extremely efficient—
up to 95%.
Expandable Multiple GT Inverters may be networked together for increased net metering
capacity or future system growth.
Communications
protocol The GT Inverter uses the Xanbus
®
communications protocol, enabling it to
communicate with multiple units connected within the system. For more
information, see “Xanbus Network Technology” on page 3–8.
Standard Features
The GT Inverter has the following standard features:
• Sealed inverter (IP54) and external heat sink to protect power electronic
components
• Quick-connect AC and DC connections
• Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to provide easy-to-read system status and daily
cumulative energy production information
• Two LED indicator lights to provide status and ground fault indication.
