GTFX and GVFX Grid-Tie Inverters and Systems
The OutBack G-series inverters are the grid-interactive versions in OutBack's FX inverter line. Available in either sealed (GTFX) or vented (GVFX) models, these inverters allow you to sell solar, wind, and/or hydro power back to the utility grid. If the utility power goes down, the inverter will automatically switch to battery power and your renewable energy source(s) to run your critical loads.
The inverter can be set up so that either utility power, or your renewable source can be used to recharge the battery bank after an outage. AC power is seamlessly switched between utility and battery power through the inverters built-in 60 amp transfer switch. With the OutBack grid-interactive system, backup AC power is made available 24 hours per day in the event of a utility outage, providing reliable power and peace of mind. At night, the inverter's automatic power save mode ensures that energy is not wasted by needlessly charging your batteries from the utility grid. Daily energy production efficiency is within a few percentage points of bateryless grid-tie systems (depending on the condition of your battery bank). Up to two grid-interactive FX's can be combined and wired or "stacked" for 120/240 VAC output. The Grid-Tie FX Series Inverter/Chargers can be stacked in Classic Series only, which is limited to two grid-interactive FX's.
Indoor Systems
We offer pre-assembled, pre-wired and tested, complete one or two inverter OutBack grid-tie power systems based on the OutBack FLEXware 500 power system components. Choose a 24- or 48- Volt system, and either the sealed or vented inverter models. Use without a solar array to provide emergency back-up power, or with the addition of one or two MX-60 MPPT charge controllers and a solar array create a fully automated utility-intertie system with battery backup.
OutBack's MATE controller, HUB4, AC and DC surge arrestor, and RTS remote temperature sensor are included with each system. Other options, such as AC and DC circuit breakers and the FLEXnet battery monitor can be pre-installed if desired or field installed later. Batteries are required. The system will not function without them.
Batteries and battery-to-inverter cables are not included.
These power systems are not recommended for off-grid use.
