The Xantrex XW System is a fully-integrated true sine wave, battery-based system designed for both residential and commercial applications; stand-alone, grid-backup, and grid-tie with battery energy storage. Capable of being grid-interactive or grid-independent, the XW Series will operate with generators and renewable energy sources to provide full-time or backup power.  Engineered using a complete systems approach, the XW System stands out from its competition, with a reliable, clean, compact design and integrated balance-of-systems components. 

• Integrated balance-of-systems components
• 120/240-volt split-phase operation and true sine wave output
• Unsurpassed surge capacity - innovative Full Digital Control regulates voltage to prevent a drop during a power surge.
• Full 200% rated output power is delivered to the load
• Efficient, power factor corrected, high-current, multistage battery charging
• Certified to UL1741 and CSA for utility-interactive applications
• Easy and inexpensive to install
• Local display on inverter shows output power, charge current and battery level, to provide system status at a glance
• Designed for easy field installation with manageable building blocks

Off-Grid Power

The Xantrex XW System can process multiple forms of incoming power making it a popular choice for off-grid applications (those not connected to the utility grid), as it provides homes with a completely autonomous supply of electricity. Most applications use solar arrays, but a wind generator, micro-hydro generator, and/or a fuel generator can also be incorporated into the system.

Grid-Interactive Renewable Energy System with Backup Power

The Xantrex XW System is the ideal solution for homes that are connected to the utility grid, where owners want to incorporate a renewable energy system with backup power. Most applications use solar arrays, but a wind generator, micro-hydro generator, and/or a fuel generator can also be incorporated into the system. Grid-interactivity allows excess energy that is generated to be exported to the grid, and allows the grid to act as an additional energy source to charge the system’s batteries. If the grid should fail, the inverter will automatically go into backup power mode, to supply energy from the batteries and energy inputs to support the home’s electrical needs.

Backup Power

Grid-connected homes can also benefit from the use of a Xantrex XW System as the inverter will automatically detect a grid failure and instantly switch to backup power stored in the battery bank. When the grid is active, the XW System will monitor and regulate battery charging to ensure the batteries are ready to supply backup power when the grid fails.

XW Solar Charge Controller (XW SCC)

The Xantrex XW Solar Charge Controller is a photovoltaic (PV) charge controller that tracks the electrical maximum power point (MPPT) of a PV array to deliver the maximum available current for charging batteries. The XW SCC can be used with 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60-volt DC battery systems. 

• Two or three-stage charging process, with manual equalization to maximize system performance and maintain expected battery life
• Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) to deliver the maximum available power from a PV array to a battery bank
• Configurable auxiliary power output
• Two-line, 16-character liquid crystal display (LCD) and four buttons for configuration and system monitoring in stand-alone applications
• Built-in Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) to provide automatically temperature-compensated battery charging
• The Charge Controller is able to communicate its settings and activity to other Xanbus™-enabled devices

XW Power Distribution Panel (XW PDP)

The Xantrex XW Power Distribution Panel with conduit box is factory-wired and labeled to support a code-compliant single power inverter installation. The XW PDP can be configured to mount on either side of the inverter/charger. Internal wiring and breakers can be added to expand the XW System with up to three power inverters, four solar charge controllers, or other equipment to support larger systems, including three-phase.   

• Accommodates both AC and DC breakers and wiring for three Xantrex XW Hybrid Power Inverter/Chargers and four XW Solar Charge Controllers
• Includes breakers and wiring to connect to XW Hybrid Inverter/Charger
• Wiring is labeled and cut-to-length, ready to connect to inverter
• Uses flexible Arctic Ultraflex Blue™ wires
• Multiple knockouts on sides, top, bottom and back of unit 
• Includes mounting back plate and and XW Conduit Box

XW Auto Generator Start (XW AGS)

The Xantrex XW Auto Generator Start will automatically activate a generator to provide an XW Series Hybrid Power Inverter/Charger with power to recharge a depleted battery bank or provide additional power for heavy loads. The XW AGS adds intelligence to generator management, thereby eliminating time spent monitoring batteries and inverter loads. It does this by continuously monitoring the battery voltage, state-of-charge, or the inverter charge mode, starting and stopping the generator when the battery needs additional charging. The Xantrex XW AGS will also start the generator to assist the system’s power inverter/charger(s) when output power demands are high.

The XW AGS can be customized to suit each user’s preferences. The user can define whether the generator should be activated by low-battery voltage, state-of-charge, thermostat operation, or load on the inverter(s). A quiet-time setting prevents the generator from starting at inconvenient times. LED lights display the status of the XW AGS, while all user-defined settings are programmed through the XW system control panel (XW SCP).

Operational Features:

• Compatibility – the XW AGS connects to other Xanbus™-enabled XW System devices without requiring additional hubs, control cards, or other device-specific control panels
• Works with AC or DC generators with either two-wire or three-wire start controls
• Configurability – comprehensive customizable triggers based on low-battery voltage, change in charging state, high inverter load, thermostat signals, planned exercise periods, max run-time, and quiet-time settings
• Non-volatile memory – preserves XW AGS settings even if the network power is interrupted or network communication is disrupted
• Note: The XW AGS requires an XW System Control Panel (XW SCP) for configuration and monitoring.

Features:

• LED display showing at-a-glance status
• 20-contact generator connector and three built-in relays support 13 preset generator configurations
• Built-in emergency shutdown
• Xanbus™-enabled
