The Growatt MOD 8KTL3-XH-BP hybrid inverter (MPN MOD 8KTL3-XH-BP) is a 3-phase inverter that ensures simple and user-friendly operation of large solar systems thanks to its high performance and compact size. The inverter is characterized by a high efficiency of 98.6%, which makes it a powerful and flexible device when configuring a system. In addition to 2 independent MPPT inputs and a maximum PV power of 16000W, the inverter also has an OLED touch display, which is a great advantage for simple and uncomplicated operation. Loads and batteries can also be connected. The APX battery system is compatible with this.

As an option, the MOD-XH-BP series can be combined with the SYN 50 XH 30 backup box to achieve off-grid operation.

The MOD-XH-BP series:

• 2 independent MPPTs
• Battery-ready, future-proof
• Type II SPD on DC and AC side
• Integrated AFCI function
• Support for export limitation
• OLED and touch button
• DC/AC ratio up to 2.0
• Off-grid function possible with optional accessories

Hybrid inverter

In contrast to conventional inverters, hybrid inverters can not only feed the electricity generated by the solar system into the grid, but also store it in batteries. This means that the solar power is also available when the sun is not shining. Another feature of hybrid inverters is their ability to optimize a household's electricity consumption by preferring to use the solar power directly in the household before feeding it into the grid.

Active safety with AFCI function

An Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter is an arc fault protection device. It protects circuits in the event of arcing faults and acts as a circuit breaker against contact faults in low-voltage installations. In addition to providing protection, it analyzes current and voltage curves using digital signal processing and interrupts circuits in the event of fault signatures. Colloquially, the AFCI is also known as a fire protection switch, as overheating at poor contact points or flashovers between two conductors can be prevented by emitted signals.

Two MPP trackers for optimum solar yields

Maximum Power Point Tracker technology is used to generate the best possible yield from a solar system. The MPPT determines the optimum ratio between irradiance, module temperature and solar cell type over the course of the day. The two MPP trackers in the MOD Inverter allow the optimum operating point for the two PV strings to be optimized separately. The two trackers work independently of each other and so, for example, shading on one string would have no effect on the second.

Operating modes - configurable according to system requirements

• Working mode: The MOD-XH converts the DC power from PV strings into AC power and feeds this into the power grid. As soon as the output power does not meet the requirements for grid-connected power generation, the normal operating mode is switched off.
• Fault mode: The inverter monitors and regulates the status of the system in real time. For example, if system or inverter faults occur, the display shows the fault information and disconnects the inverter output from the grid.
• Switch-off mode: The inverter switches off automatically when solar radiation is weak or absent.

AC&DC Type II SPD

AC and DC Type II SPDs (Surge Protective Devices) protect grid inverters from overvoltages and are an important component for the safety and reliability of solar systems. AC SPDs protect the AC side and DC SPDs protect the DC side of the inverter. These protective devices discharge excess voltage pulses that can be caused by lightning strikes, switching operations in the power grid or other events.

Numerous protective functions

• DC / AC surge arrester: Type II
• DC reverse polarity protection and disconnector
• Insulation resistance detection
• AC short-circuit protection
• Mains, residual current and string monitoring
• Islanding detection
• AFCI protection (arc fault detection)

Growatt monitoring platform (can be used with optional accessories)

The Growatt monitoring platform can be used with the optional Shine series accessories. This is available as a smartphone app (for iOS and Android) and as a web version. The Shine accessories must be purchased separately, use of the platform is free of charge. You can use Shine to configure and monitor all your Growatt products and display self-consumption and trends.
