Xantrex Renewable Energy Catalogue
Xantrex is a leader in advanced power electronics, specializing in renewable energy systems ranging from 600 Watts to 1.5 Mega Watts. Their technology efficiently converts raw electrical energy from sources like solar, wind, or microhydro into high-quality power. Xantrex products are used in mobile, backup, and test and measurement applications. The company is publicly listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and had revenues of US$143 million in 2005. Headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Xantrex has facilities in the USA, Spain, and England.
Xantrex offers a range of products including inverters, inverter/chargers, system components, battery chargers, and powerpacks. These products are designed to increase energy efficiency and provide reliable electricity for homes and businesses worldwide.
An inverter transforms DC power from renewable sources into AC electricity. Inverter/chargers combine an inverter, battery charger, and transfer switch, allowing for conversion of AC power from a generator into DC power to recharge batteries. These devices are popular for off-grid applications due to their ability to process multiple forms of incoming power.
Inverters produce two types of AC power: modified sine wave and sine wave. Modified sine wave inverters are less expensive and can power most household appliances, but may not be suitable for certain loads. Sine wave inverters replicate utility power and are suitable for sensitive electrical equipment.
The document includes a glossary explaining terms such as alternating current (AC), direct current (DC), grid, and photovoltaic (PV) array, among others.
Xantrex provides solutions for both off-grid and grid-tie systems. Off-grid systems consist of a renewable energy source, a battery bank, and an inverter, allowing for independent power production. Grid-tie systems use solar cells and a grid-tie inverter to convert solar energy into utility-grade AC power, which can be sold to the utility grid.
The GT Series inverters are designed for high performance and easy installation. They offer features such as superior PV energy harvest, peak inverter efficiency, and excellent thermal performance. The inverters are lightweight, compact, and suitable for both outdoor and indoor installations.
