Conext XW inverter/chargers

An adaptable and scalable power solution for residential installations

Residential backup powerHomeowners embrace the Conext XW system because it allows for fully-automated, hassle-free, backup power.

Unlike a plug-in backup power pack or portable generator, the Conext XW inverter/charger is integrated into the electrical system and seamlessly converts power from battery reserves to support critical loads such as pumps, security systems, refrigerators, and electronics in the event of a power outage or brown-out. When utility power is readily available, the Conext XW inverter/charger will keep the battery bank fully charged and ready for the next grid failure. The Conext XW system easily integrates with a generator for extended backup power.

Residential off-grid solarFor off-grid home owners, Conext XW inverter/chargers provide AC power from batteries. The Conext XW system’s Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) solar charge controllers enable PV modules to directly charge batteries.

The pure sine wave output and high surge capabilities of Conext XW inverter/chargers start and run pumps with ease, enabling key water and sewage systems, and assisting smaller generators in starting difficult loads. Additionally, the Conext XW can integrate a fuel-based generator enabling cost-effective hybrid off-grid power solutions.

The control and monitoring capabilities of the Conext XW system provides off-grid home owners with management information to ensure dependability is maintained and systems operate as they should.

Residential grid-interactive solar with backupIn addition to providing residential backup power, the Conext XW system’s ability to easily integrate PV power will help reduce household dependency on utility power by offsetting consumption.

The Conext XW supports DC coupled and AC coupled grid-tie systems. And, by utilising Conext XW’s grid-interactive features, residential charges are reduced by prioritising the use of energy stored in batteries or directly from solar panels. The Conext XW also easily integrates with a generator for extended backup power.

An adaptable and scalable power solution for commercial installations

Commercial backup powerThe Conext XW inverter/charger integrates with commercial building breaker panels to seamlessly and instantly convert power from battery reserves to maintain operation of critical loads such as security, data and communication systems, as well as pumps and machinery when the power grid fails or browns out. When utility power is readily available, the Conext XW will keep the battery bank fully charged, ready for the next time.

Conext XW systems can be scaled up to 36 kW and configured for single-phase, split-phase or three-phase power. The Conext XW easily integrates with a generator for extended backup time.

Commercial off-grid solarWherever independent off-grid power is required for the operation of remote farms, monitoring stations, telecom towers, or work camps, the Conext XW inverter/charger is a cost effective replacement for a diesel generator.

If PV production is insufficient or unavailable to meet demand, a generator can be integrated by the Conext XW system and managed by the automatic generator start (AGS) module to assist with loads and recharge batteries as required. For existing off-grid diesel generator power systems, integrating a Conext XW will facilitate the decrease in both generator run time and corresponding fuel costs.

The control and monitoring capabilities of the Conext XW system provides power management information for operators and peace of mind that remote property is secure and power dependent systems are operating as they should.

Commercial grid-interactive solar with battery backupIn addition to providing backup power for commercial operations, the Conext XW inverter/charger easily integrates photovoltaic (PV) power, reducing business dependency on utility power by offsetting consumption and increasing the return on investment. The Conext XW system can also manage load shifting to avoid expensive time-of-day electricity charges. Integrating PV power in regions with weak or intermittent grid power will allow businesses to operate for extended periods of time without grid power.

Conext XW systems can be scaled up to 36 kW and configured for single-phase, split-phase or three-phase power. The Conext XW easily integrates with a generator to further increase business operating time when the grid is down. The control and monitoring capabilities of the Conext XW system provides businesses with management information to ensure dependability is maintained and systems operate as they should.

Conext XW inverter/chargers

An adaptable and scalable power solution for community installations

Rural / community electrificationConext XW is adaptable and scalable, powering off-grid communities around the world and helping them qualify for renewable energy funding programs to establish reliable, high-quality localised community power plants. By coupling to renewable PV energy generation through the DC system. The Conext XW delivers a more affordable AC power solution than traditional off-grid systems that rely on power supplied from diesel generators alone.

Conext XW community based off-grid systems are expandable at any time to 36 kW clusters. The Conext XW system supplies a standard AC voltage grid, enabling communities to not only benefit from the low cost and wide variety of common AC appliances and tools, but also from the continuously declining cost of renewable PV power generation.

The Conext XW will also integrate diesel generators into a hybrid off-grid system increasing the flexibility and reliability of the entire system while still reducing community dependence on the ever increasing cost of fuel generators.

Remote system monitoring and management is available for the supervision of the Conext XW inverter/charger and supporting system components.
