The PV open circuit voltage must not exceed 600 VDC.  With a maximum of 80 amps output, a single charge controller can handle array sizes up to 4,600+ watts on a 48 volt battery bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe XW charge controllers are the best selection to use in conjunction with an XW inverter intended for grid-tie, net-metering applications.  Schneider's proprietary Enhanced Interactive operating mode is the most efficient operating solution to balance battery charging, household loads, and selling to the grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eAny DC circuit breakers or fusing on the solar array side of the controller (solar disconnect and\/or combiner box) must be rated for high voltages of 600 volts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe XW controllers have a configurable auxiliary output to drive a relay for load control or to turn on devices such as a vent fan or indicator alarm.  Auxiliary output can be configured to perform only one function at a time. Built in PV ground fault protection allows code-compliant installation without the need for additional ground fault protection. Standby and night-time power draws less than one watt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e 30\" x 8 5\/8\" x 8 5\/8\", weighs 30 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree year limited warranty, extendible to five years with product registration within 6 months of date of purchase.
