The Growatt MIC 2500TL-X2 (MPN: MIC 2500TL-X2) is a compact grid-tied inverter for single-phase photovoltaic systems. With a rated AC power of 2500 W, an MPP tracker, and a PV string input, it is designed for appropriately sized, grid-tied PV systems. This model has a maximum recommended PV power of 3,750 W. The maximum input current is 16 A, the MPPT voltage range is 50 to 550 V, and the maximum efficiency is 97.6%. An OLED display, touchscreen controls, and various communication options facilitate operation and system monitoring.
Compact 2,500 W string inverter with 16 A PV input
2,500 W nominal AC power for single-phase grid feed-in
Up to 3,750 W recommended PV power
1 MPP tracker with 1 PV string input
OLED display with touch button for local display and operation
Integrated RS485; additional monitoring options available
Passive heat dissipation via natural convection
Comprehensive integrated protection and monitoring functions
One MPP tracker for one PV string
The inverter features an MPP tracker and a PV string input. During operation, the MPP tracker (Maximum Power Point Tracker) searches for the optimal operating point of the connected solar modules. This allows the available PV power to be utilized within the specified voltage and current limits. Growatt specifies a maximum recommended PV power of 3750 W for the MIC 2500TL-X2.
OLED Display, Touch Control, and Monitoring
For local operation, the inverter features an OLED display, a touch button, and an LED status indicator. It also includes DC switches as well as connections for PV, AC, DRM, communication, and USB. The touch button can be used to switch between display information and to select and confirm settings. The LED indicates operating states such as normal operation, warning, or error. RS485 is integrated for communication. Additionally, USB, Wi-Fi, RF, and LAN can be used as available or optional interfaces. These include the optional monitoring devices ShineWiFi-X, Shine4G-X, ShineLink-X, and ShineLAN-X. The required communication accessories must be considered separately depending on the desired monitoring solution.
Protection Features for Grid Operation
Growatt equips the MIC-X2 series with several built-in protection and monitoring functions. These include:
DC reverse polarity protection
DC switch
Type III AC/DC overvoltage protection
Insulation resistance monitoring
AC short-circuit protection
Ground Fault Monitoring
Grid monitoring
Anti-islanding protection and residual current monitoring
AFCI—an optional protection feature on the EU model
Anti-islanding protection prevents the grid-tied inverter from continuing to supply an independent off-grid system in the event of a public grid failure. The MIC 2500TL-X2 is therefore designed as a grid-tied string inverter and not as an off-grid or backup power inverter.
