Growatt has launched a new inverter series for residential applications, which mainly targets European and Australian markets.

Called MOD 3-10KTL3-XH, the new product is available in eight different versions with nominal power of 3kW to 10kW. Their efficiency ranges from 98.3& to 98.6% and the European efficiency rating is between 97.5% and 98.1%.

The smallest device of the series measures 425x387x147mm and has a weight of 12.5kg. The largest inverter has a size of 425x387x178mm and weighs in at 14kg.

It features up to two maximum power point tracking (MPPT) inputs, with MPPT voltage ranging from 140-1,000V.

The inverter can be used at a maximum operating altitude of 4,000m and its operating ambient temperature ranges from -25 to 60 degrees Celsius. The series also features IP66 enclosures.

“Such a battery-ready feature offers flexibility to users by allowing the inverter to work for a normal grid-tied solar system and later to be upgraded to a storage system with an extra battery pack, which saves users on initial investments,” Growatt global marketing director Lisa Zhang says.
