The Growatt MOD 8KTL3-XH Hybrid Inverter is a 3-phase inverter that ensures simple and user-friendly operation of large solar systems with its high performance and compact size. The inverter is characterized by a high efficiency of 98.3 %, 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. In addition, loads and batteries can be connected. The ARK XH battery system from 7.68-25.6 kWh is compatible with this.

Hybrid inverters
In contrast to conventional inverters, hybrid inverters can not only feed the electricity generated from 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 it is fed 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 arc faults and acts as a circuit breaker against contact faults in low-voltage installations. In addition to its protection, it analyzes current and voltage fluctuations 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 incoming signals can prevent overheating at poor contact points or in the event of arcing between two conductors.
Two MPP trackers for optimum solar yields
The Maximum Power Point Tracker technology generates 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 influence 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. If, for example, system or inverter errors occur, the display shows the error 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 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 alternating current side and DC SPDs the direct current side of the inverter. These protective devices discharge excessive voltage pulses that can be caused by lightning strikes, switching operations in the power grid or other events.
