What type of system doI need?*Off Grid. *Battery Based Grid Tie.*AC Coupled.All of MidNiteSolar’s Pre Wired systems are fully customizable for your needs MidNite Solar 360-403-7207
*Stand alone system *Will not sell back to the utility *Various inverters available for Off Grid (Some will do both) *120 or 120/240? Off Grid MidNite Solar 360-403-7207
Grid Tie with Battery backup *Sells to the grid *Runs critical loads during grid failure *Do you need 120vac or 120/240vac *Some models support generator input as well MidNite Solar 360-403-7207
AC Coupled *Adds battery backup to a purely grid tie system. *Adds some complexity to the system. *Best suited for existing grid tie systems as an add on. MidNite Solar 360-403-7207
*Growing market segment *Can be confusing! *Can be complicated! *Numerous ways to go *MidNitehas taken most of the mystique out of the equation AC Coupled MidNite Solar 360-403-7207
AC Coupling is a controlled back feed to a battery based inverter A back feed is hooking up AC to the output of an inverter AC coupling is a synchronized back feed. The grid tie inverter shifts frequency to match the battery based inverter before connecting. This makes it ok to do What is AC Coupled ? MidNite Solar 360-403-7207
Not all battery based sinewave inverters are capable of backfeed. Your choices in North America are: SMA Sunny Island Outback FX, VFX and Radian Magnum PAE series Schneider XW series What is AC Coupled ? MidNite Solar 360-403-7207
*Magnum and OutBack inverters sense circuits that control charging are on the AC inputs not the output, therefore cannot controlthe charging *These inverters charge wide open and cannot taper off. *A relay is required to disconnect the GT What is AC Coupled ? MidNite Solar 360-403-7207
*SMA and Schneider use frequency shift to knock the GT inverter offline to stop the charging. *The Sunny Island will control a Sunny Boy to do tapered charging. What is AC Coupled ? MidNite Solar 360-403-7207
*Radian and the Schneider have 2 AC inputs so a generator can be added. *Provisions must be added to disconnect the GT inverter when the generator runs or the GT will try to sell to the Inverter. Generators and AC Coupled MidNite Solar 360-403-7207
*Outback, Magnum and Schneider have a 1:1 ratio limit. *SMA has a 2:1 ratio *The customer may not need all of the grid tie solar as part of the ac coupled. Sizing of the Off Grid inverter MidNite Solar 360-403-7207
Outback FX series *120 vac per single unit. *Either Grid tie or Off Grid not both. Both AC couple. *Grid tie models (G series) does not play well with generators. *Smaller scale and expandable. *12,24 and 48VDC models available MidNite Solar 360-403-7207
Quad Off Grid Outback Prewired MidNite Solar 360-403-7207
Outback Radian *Grid tie or Offgrid Supports both AC coupled as well *120/240 in a single unit *Has 2 AC inputs (2nd for generator) *8,000 watts per unit, Stackable *48VDC model *Requires relays for AC coupled MidNite Solar 360-403-7207
