The Growatt MID 17KTL3-XH hybrid inverter is a 3-phase powerhouse that effortlessly commissions large solar systems with its amazing performance and versatile functions. In addition to its high efficiency of 98.75%, the inverter is also characterized by its compactness and user-friendliness. This makes it a reliable partner when configuring a system. The inverter boasts 2 independent MPPT inputs and can handle an impressive PV output of 34000W. It is equipped with an OLED touch display for easy and uncomplicated control. In addition, the inverter offers the option of connecting loads and batteries. The APX battery system from Growatt is compatible with this.
Optionally, the MID-XH series can be combined with the SYN 100 XH 30 backup box to achieve off-grid operation.
The MID-XH series:
- 2 independent MPPTs
- Battery-ready, future-proof
- Type II SPD on DC and AC side
- Integrated AFCI function
- OLED, LED, and touch button
- DC/AC ratio up to 2.0
- 24-hour self-consumption monitoring
Hybrid inverter
Unlike conventional inverters, hybrid inverters can not only feed the electricity generated by the solar system into the power grid, but also store it in batteries. This means that 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 giving priority to using solar power directly in the household before feeding it into the grid.
Active safety with AFCI function
An arc fault circuit interrupteris a fault arc protection device. It protects electrical circuits in the event of fault arcs and acts as a circuit breaker against contact faults in low-voltage installations. In addition to its protective function, it analyzes current and voltage curves using digital signal processing and interrupts circuits in the event of fault signals. Colloquially, the AFCI is also called a fire protection switch, as incoming signals can prevent fires caused by overheating at poor contact points or flashovers between two conductors.
Two MPP trackers for optimal solar yields
Maximum Power Point Tracker technology generates the best possible yield from a solar system. The MPPT determines the optimal ratio between irradiance, module temperature, and solar cell type throughout the day. The two MPP trackers in the MID inverter allow the optimal operating point for the two PV strings to be optimized separately. The two trackers operate independently of each other, meaning that shading on one string, for example, would have no effect on the second.
Operating modes - Configurable depending on system requirements
- Operating mode: If the requirements for the grid connection are met—the DC voltage is greater than 200V and the grid voltage and frequency are within the permissible range—the inverter converts the DC power generated by the solar panels into AC powerthan 200V and the grid voltage and frequency are within the permissible range, the inverter will convert the DC power generated by the solar panels into AC power and feed it into the grid with the green LED indicator. If the DC voltage falls below 160V, the inverter will automatically disconnect from the grid and exit operating mode. It will automatically return to operating mode and reconnect to the grid once the requirements are met.
- Fault mode: If an unexpected situation occurs, such as a system failure or inverter failure, the inverter will display the error message on the screen. In fault mode, the leaf-shaped indicator will light up red and the inverter will disconnect from the grid.
- Shutdown mode: If the PV power is insufficient or no PV power is being generated, the inverter will automatically shut down. In shutdown mode, the inverter does not consume any energy from the grid or the solar panels, and the display and indicators are turned off.
AC&DC Type II SPD
AC and DC Type II SPDs (Surge Protective Devices) protect grid inverters from overvoltage 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 divert 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 arresters: Type II
- DC reverse polarity protection and disconnect switch
- Insulation resistance detection
- AC short-circuit protection
- Mains, fault current, and string monitoring
- Island network detection
- AFCI protection (arc fault detection)
Growatt monitoring platform
The Growatt monitoring platform can be used with the optional accessories from the Shine series. It is available as a smartphone app for iOS and Android as well as a web version. The Shine accessories must be purchased separately, but use of the platform is free of charge. With Shine, you can configure and monitor all your Growatt products and view your self-consumption and trends.
The following Shine options are compatible with the MID-XH series:
- Shine WiFi-X
- ShineLan-X
- ShineLink-X
