A warning describes a hazard to equipment or personnel. It calls attention to a procedure or practice, which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in damage to or destruction of part or all of the Growatt equipment and/or other !...
The unit converts the DC current generated by the photovoltaic (PV) modules to grid- compliant alternating current and performs single-phase feed-in into the electricity grid. Growatt MTL series inverters are built according to all required safety rules. Abbreviation for "Direct Current"...
This grid-tied inverter system operates only when properly connected to the AC connected to the Growatt MTL. Only ground the mounting frame –distribution network. Before connecting the Growatt MTL to the power distribution of the PV modules. If you connect grounded PV modules to the grid, contact the local power distribution grid company.
When energy is fed into the public grid, the energy meter spins backwards. Energy is fed directly into the public grid. The Growatt is connected to a separate energy meter. The energy Public grid:...
Description The front enclosure lid The Growatt MTL series inverters are grid-tied inverters which convert DC current generated by PV modules into AC current and feed it into the public grid. The Growatt MTL series inverters are multi-string inverters with multi-MPP trackers, which means that they are able to connect to different PV module arrays.
