Modern inverters have caused a quiet revolution in the way we live with indepen- dent power systems, providing silent AC electricity anytime, anywhere. An inverter is a sophisticated microprocessor controlled device that transforms the DC power collected from your renewable energy source into household (AC) electricity. An inverter that is connected to the grid allows you to sell the excess renewable power you harvest to the utility company. An inverter/charger combines an inverter, battery charger, and transfer switch in one box. In addition to converting DC power from the renewable energy...

The type of electricity supplied by the utility company. The unique characteristic of this form of electricity is that it reverses direction at regular power reverses flow 50 times a second, hence the rating 50 Hz (cycles). electrical current. flowing for one hour. Expresses the relationship between current (amps) A group of solar electric modules wired together. The rate of flow of electrical charge. The flow of amps is often expressed as The type of electricity stored in batteries and generated by solar electric devices. Current flows in a single direction. A conductive medium in which...

A control circuit that stops the flow of electricity from batteries to loads when battery voltage drops to dangerously low Modified Sine Wave Also called a modified square wave, this type of waveform emulates a sine wave using a series of small steps to create An electrical system that is not connected to a utility distribution grid. Overload/Overcurrent Protection A control circuit designed to protect an inverter or similar device from loads exceeding its output capacity. (A fuse, protection device.) Parallel Wiring Batteries or PV modules, wired together to increase ampacity, while...

System Basics Off-grid system with battery and generator backup Solar (PV) Panels Controller DC Disconnect Batteries Basic Off-Grid System With a Xantrex off-grid system, you can easily produce your own power without the expense and environmental impact of extending power lines, or relying A basic off-grid system consists of a renewable energy source, which generates DC power, a battery bank that stores the DC power, and a Xantrex inverter. Our inverter is the intelligent center of a renewable power system, seamlessly converting DC power to clean, reliable AC electricity for your needs. The...

Grid tie system using GT Series Inverter Utility Grid Utility Meter Basic Grid Tie System A basic grid tie system consists of solar cells and a Xantrex grid-tie inverter. Solar cells take the sun's energy and turn it into DC electricity. The Xantrex inverter turns the DC electricity generated by the solar cells into utility grade AC power which can be sold to the utility grid. A grid tie system is an effective way to obtain economical benefits, increase green energy production and improve Large-scale solar electrical systems play an important part in conservation and energy production, and...
