YOU ARE THE
POWER COMPANY !
Connect the Sun to Your Utility Meter
and say goodbye to high electric bills !
Xanrex's
new Sun Tie (STXR) solar electric inverters are designed, built
and priced to make the benefits of site-generated PV power easy
for anyone to attain. The Sun Tie operates interactively with
the utility, without the use of batteries. Made specifically for
new, small-scale, independent power producers, the ST is a perfect
choice for anyone interested in participating in the emerging
Green Power market. The ST is available in four models with output
capacity of 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 kVA.
Distributed generation, using
the power of the sun, is a win - win choice for the environment,
utility companies and consumers alike. With this form of electrical
distribution, solar PV power is generated and inverted at the
location where it’s used. Solar electricity helps reduce
the need for new large-scale—and often environmentally harmful—generating
stations and distribution lines.
Consumers
can have lower electricity bills
because any PV power they generate is either used in their home
or business or, when there is excess, sold to the utility company.
“Net Metering” is one way electricity is exchanged between
the power grid and solar generators. Net Metering programs are
available from many utility companies, contact your local electricity
provider for details.
Utilities
benefit from increased solar
generation by gaining the ability to resell the PV power they
purchase to environmentally conscious customers at premium Green
Power rates. Consumer generated, solar electricity can also help
utility companies meet their growth requirements at lower capital
costs.
All-in-One
Design
All NEC (U.S. National Electrical Code) required DC input and
AC output connections, disconnects and circuit breakers are housed
within the Sun Tie’s compact case. A built in LCD panel provides
easy-to-read system status and daily cumulative power production
information.
Works With
Any Type of PV Technology
The ST is designed to optimize the output from all types of solar
electric technologies. The open circuit voltage window of the
Sun Tie ranges up to 125 VDC so both conventional Crystalline
and newer Thin Film PV modules can be used.
Maximum Power
Point Tracking
The Sun Tie uses sophisticated software to track and adjust the
output of the PV array. Our Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
software, which samples once a minute, ensures complete harvest
of the sun’s energy all day long.
Expandable
Multiple ST inverters can be connected to a utility grid so that
additional generating capacity may be added in a fully modular
manner.
High Efficiency,
Long Life Design
The high frequency, solid state design of the ST inverter is extremely
efficient. The inverter efficiency is over 90%, with peak efficiencies
of 94%. Built and designed in the U.S.A. by Trace Engineering,
makers of the worlds most reliable inverters, the Sun Tie is sure
to provide many years of trouble free service and carries a two
year warranty.
Standard Features:
Sun Tie—Utility interactive inverter, 240 VAC 60 Hz output.
Includes factory installed DC and AC
input/output breakers, combination DC and AC lightning arrestor.
Options:
STRS—Protective rain shield, required for outdoor installation
of ST Series inverters
Certifications:
UL Listed—The Sun Tie is UL Listed to UL 1741 and cUL Listed
to CSA 22.2. The ST is designed to comply with IEEE 929.
Note:
ST1000 and ST2000 models do not include PV ground fault interrupters
and PV combiner boards. Trace offers a PV ground fault interrupter
(PVGFP) which requires an enclosure (not included) and a UL Listed
10 circuit combiner box (TCB10). Both of these items can be ordered
separately.
