The Growatt MIC 3000TL-X2 (MPN: MIC 3000TL-X2) is a compact grid-tied inverter for single-phase photovoltaic systems. With a rated AC power of 3000 W, an MPP tracker, and a PV string input, it is designed for appropriately sized, grid-tied PV systems. Growatt specifies a maximum recommended PV power of 4500 W for this model variant. 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 flexible monitoring options round out the features.
Compact 3,000 W string inverter with 16 A PV input
3,000 W nominal AC power for single-phase grid feed-in
Up to 4,500 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 operates with an MPP tracker and a PV string input. The MPP tracker (Maximum Power Point Tracker) adjusts the electrical operating point of the connected PV string during operation so that the available solar power can be utilized within the permissible voltage and current limits. Growatt specifies a maximum recommended PV power of 4500 W for the MIC 3000TL-X2.
OLED Display, Touch Controls, 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 allows users 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 accounted for separately depending on the desired monitoring solution.
Protection Features for Grid Operation
Growatt equips the MIC-X2 series with several integrated 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 inverter from maintaining an independent island grid in the event of a public grid failure. The MIC 3000TL-X2 is therefore designed for grid-connected PV operation.
