Most applications use solar arrays, but a wind generator, micro-hydro generator, and/or a fuel generator can also be incorporated into the system. Grid-interactivity allows excess energy that is generated to be exported to the grid, and allows the grid to act as an additional energy source to charge the system’s batteries. If the grid should fail, the inverter will automatically go into backup power mode supplying energy from the batteries and energy inputs, to support the home’s electrical needs.   O Off-Grid Power The Xantrex XW System can process multiple forms of incoming power making it a popular choice for off-grid applications (those not connected to the utility grid), as it provides homes with a completely autonomous supply of electricity. Most applications use solar arrays, but a wind generator, micro-hydro generator, and/or a fuel generator can also be incorporated into the system.   B Backup Power Grid-connected homes can also benefit from the use of a Xantrex XW System as the inverter will automatically detect a grid failure and instantly switch to backup power stored in the battery bank. When the grid is active, the XW System will monitor and regulate battery charging to ensure the batteries are ready to supply backup power when the grid fails.   Components Included   XW4548 Hybrid Inverter/Charger 4000VA The NEXT generation inverter/charger for renewable energy systems and backup power applications Xantrex brings the next generation of inverter/charger to market, with the XW Hybrid Inverter/Charger, the heart of the XW System. The XW Hybrid Inverter/Charger (XW) is a true sine wave, 120/240-volt AC, split-phase, inverter/charger that incorporates a DC to AC inverter, a battery charger, and an AC auto-transfer switch. It is the foundation for battery- based residential and commercial applications up to 18 kilowatts (kW). Capable of being grid-interactive or grid-independent, the XW can operate with generators and renewable energy sources to provide full time or backup power. Description Designed with consultation and input from industry experts, dealers, and installers, the XW sets a new standard for battery-based inverter/chargers. Integrating the best features available in the market, innovative new features by Xantrex and balance-of-systems components, the XW Hybrid Inverter/Charger’s design makes installation quicker and easier. The XW offers high efficiency and unprecedented surge capacity to maximize the owner’s return on investment. No other inverter/charger looks or performs like the XW. Features • True sine wave output• 120/240 volt AC spilt-phase operation• Dual AC inputs• Capability to work with two-wire and  three-wire generator starting systems• Integrated design to minimize external balance-of-system components• XanBusTM-enabled network communication• Certified to UL1741 and CSA for utility-interactive applications• Unprecedented surge capacity• Efficient, power factor corrected, high-current, multistage battery charging.   Xantrex XW-MPPT60-150 Solar Charge Controller The Xantrex Solar Charge Controller is a photovoltaic (PV) charge controller that tracks the electrical maximum power point of a PV array to deliver the maximum available current for charging batteries. The XW SCC can be used with 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60-volt DC battery systems. -Two or three-stage charging process, with manual equalization to maximize system performance and maintain expected battery life -Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) to deliver the maximum available power from a PV array to a battery bank -Configurable auxiliary power output     -Two-line, 16-character liquid crystal display (LCD) and four buttons for configuration and system monitoring in stand-alone applications -Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) to provide automatically temperature-compensated battery charging -The Charge Controller is able to communicate its settings and activity to other Xanbus™-enabled devices           XW Power Distribution Panel (XW PDP) The XW Power Distribution Panel with conduit box is factory-wired and labeled to support a code-compliant single-inverter installation. The XW PDP can be configured to mount on either side of the inverter/charger. Internal wiring and breakers can be added to expand the XW System with up to three inverters, four charge controllers, or other equipment to support larger systems, including three-phase.   -Accommodates both AC and DC breakers and wiring for three XW Hybrid Inverter/Chargers and four XW Solar Charge Controllers   - Includes breakers and wiring to connect to XW Hybrid Inverter/Charger   - Wiring is labeled and cut-to-length, ready to connect to inverter   - Uses flexible Arctic Ultraflex Blue™ wires   - Multiple knockouts on sides, top, bottom and back of unit   - Includes mounting back plate and and XW Conduit Box       XW System Control Panel     The XW SCP is a Xanbus™-enabled device featuring a graphical, backlit LCD screen that displays system configuration and diagnostic information for all devices   connected to the network. When installed as an XW System accessory, the XW SCP eliminates the need for separate control panels for each device and gives a   single point of control to set up and monitor an entire XW Power System.
