Xantrex Grid Tie Inverter 250KW GT250

$80,000.00

Xantrex GT Series Grid Tie Solar Inverters are based on a reliable platform that is used in grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine applications throughout North America and Europe.

The Xantrex GT100 and GT250 incorporate an advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm to maximize the energy harvested from a PV array. To reduce power losses during the conversion process, the inverter uses the latest switching devices and a high-efficiency transformer to achieve a weighted CEC efficiency of 96%.

To ensure reliability, the Xantrex GT100 and GT250 and their sub-components are tested using Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT). HALT combines thermal and vibration technologies to stress a product beyond its specifications. This enables Xantrex to develop products and test them to a much higher standard than other inverter manufacturers. High reliability of the Xantrex GT100 and GT250 reduces system downtime and results in higher energy production.
