Outback GVFX3648 Inverter for wind turbines, solar or hydro power generating

OutBack Power Systems GFX’s (Grid-tie FX) come in two styles. The GTFX (Grid-tie Turbo FX) is a sealed FX with an external fan to provide cooling and an extra power boost. The GVFX (Grid-tie Vented FX) is a vented FX that intakes air and directs it over the transformer. These GFX’s are capable of selling power back to your local utility while giving you the piece of mind of a back-up power system in case the utility fails.

The components necessary to a system involving a GFX are (in order of power flow) the sun, solar panels (or other renewable energy sources), solar charge controller(s) (OutBack’s MX-60 is recommended), battery bank of the proper voltage and capacity (minimum of 100 amp-hours recommended), the GFX(s), and the utility grid. The utility grid attaches to the GFX at its AC Input terminals.

The GFX comes pre-programmed to operate, even without the Mate. The Mate is necessary to program the GFX (stacking, auto generator start, etc.) and must be connected for functions that involved the clock (advanced generator start) or to view voltage and current meters and “Error” messages. The Mate is highly recommended for Grid-Tie systems.

A note to retailers: No, I won't lower the listing price to $1100 so that you can buy them and sell them back to me for $2000. As long as listing is free I'll keep throwing it up here, so watchers you might as well bid and get it over with. I'm seeing a trend in the listings so it makes me wonder how many in the Ebay retailers store's "new" products have been around the block a few times.

A note to non-retailers: these are new, not purchased on the Internet and costing me $1865
