LEGAL DISCLAIMER
Xantrex does not provide solar array design advice as the inverter is a single component
in a complicated and site dependent system.The webpage
you are about to access (the “Xantrex Sizing Tool”) is intended
only as a guide for Xantrex customers requesting assistance with array sizing.
In no way is it intended to be a guarantee of the performance of Xantrex inverter
products or array compatibility, and should not be relied on for solar array
design advice for the reasons set out below. It is the responsibility
of the user of the Xantrex Sizing Tool to confirm the correctness of the Reference inputs, the formulas
behind the calculations and the output of the Xantrex Sizing Tool. Xantrex recommends
that in the design of any system that a qualified installer be contacted to
confirm the output of the Xantrex Sizing Tool and the correct solar array.
There are a number of factors that may affect the output of the Xantrex Sizing
Tool or the appropriate use of an inverter in an array design including, but
not limited to, the following:
A Xantrex GT Series Inverter will (i) shut down when DC voltage exceeds 600VDC,
and if it does it will require a manual reset and may even be damaged; and (ii)
may not be able to maximum power point track (MPPT) at voltages below 330VDC.
Applications involving extreme temperatures or low fill factor modules often
push the limits of this specified voltage range. This may mean that the inverter
only operates above the voltage at max power point on the hottest days. Also, the lower DC voltage
limited is dependent on grid voltage so the inverter may MPPT at lower DC voltages
when grid voltage is at or below nominal. The Xantrex Sizing Tool is heavily
dependent on the accuracy of the input data provided by the user and it does
not account for module voltage degradation over time. Xantrex also relies on module specifications
provided by the manufacturer of such module and can not guarantee the accuracy of such information.
THE USER OF THE XANTREX SIZING TOOL ACKNOWLEDGES that:
(i) The Xantrex Sizing Tool is being offered free of charge as a guide only and
is not to be relied upon as solar array design advice,
(ii) the warranty for the GT Series products is governed by warranty terms contained
in a separate Limited Warranty,
(iii) Xantrex makes no representation or warranty regarding the output of the
Xantrex Sizing Tool, and
(iv) the user agrees to use the Xantrex Sizing Tool at its own risk and with
the knowledge that Xantrex will not be liable to the user for any damages as
a result of use of the Xantrex Sizing Tool.
YOUR USE OF THE XANTREX SIZING TOOL CONFIRMS YOUR AGREEMENT
