AC
Abbreviation for "Alternating Current”
DC
Abbreviation for "Direct Current”
Energy
Energy is measured in Wh (watt hours), kWh (kilowatt hours) or MWh (megawatt hours).
The energy is power multiplied by time. For example, if the inverter operates at a
constant power of 4600 W for 30 minutes and then at a constant power of 2300 W for
30 minutes, it would have generated a total energy output of 3450 Wh in that hour and
fed it into the power distribution grid.
Power
Power is measured in W (watts), kW (kilowatts) or MW (megawatts). Power is an
instantaneous value. It displays the power that the inverter is currently feeding into the
power distribution grid.
Power rate
Power rate is the ratio of current power fed into the power distribution grid and the
maximum power of the inverter that can be fed into the power distribution grid.
Power factor
Power factor is the ratio between real power (measured in watts) and apparent power
(measured in Volt-Amps). When the current and voltage are in phase, the power factor is
1.0. In an AC circuit, the power is not always equal to the direct product of volts and
amperes due to reactive components. In order to find the true power of a single-phase
AC circuit, the product of volts and amperes must be multiplied by the power factor.
PV
Abbreviation for photovoltaic.
Wireless communication
The external wireless communication technology is a radio technology that enables
communication between the inverter and other communication products. The external
wireless communication does not require line of sight between the devices and it is a
selective purchasing option.

2.1 Product description and features
2.1.1 Product description
Growatt series hybrid inverters are designed to convert the DC power generated by the
PV panels into three-phase AC power and export it to the grid or store the DC power in
the batteries. The MID 11-20K TL3-XH series inverters feature 2 maximum power point
(MPP) trackers. Each tracker is connected to two PV strings, allowing for the
configuration of two PV arrays of different solar panels. The MID 25-30K TL3-XH series
inverters feature 3 MPP trackers. Each tracker can be connected to two strings, enabling
the configuration of three PV arrays of different solar panels.
Battery matched with-XH series inverters
As shown in Fig 2.1 above, a PV Energy Storage System consists of PV modules, the solar
inverter, the utility grid and other components, among which the inverter plays a key
role.
Note: If the selected photovoltaic module requires positive or negative grounding,
please contact Growatt for technical support before installation.
