Description

The Xantrex GT500 incorporates an advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm to maximize the energy harvested from a PV array. To reduce power losses during the conversion process, the inverter uses the latest switching devices and a high-efficiency transformer to achieve a weighted CEC efficiency of 96.5% (est.).

To ensure reliability, the Xantrex GT500 and its sub-components are tested using Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT). HALT combines thermal and vibration technologies to stress a product beyond its specifications. This enables Xantrex to develop products and test them to a much higher standard than other inverter manufacturers. High reliability of the Xantrex GT500 reduces system downtime and results in higher energy production.
