Installing the Charge Controller
This chapter describes installing the Xantrex XW Solar Charge Controller
(Xantrex XW SCC) with the Xantrex XW Power System, including the power
distribution panel. For stand-alone installation, see the Xantrex XW Solar Charge
Controller Owner’s Guide.
PV Array Requirements
Each Xantrex XW SCC must be connected to its own PV array. Although the
Xantrex XW SCC can harvest a maximum of 3500 W, the PV array size can be as
high as 6720 W (based on 48 A × 140 V
oc
= 6720 W).
Panels rated up to 48 A at 77 °F (25 °C) are recommended to allow for increases
in I
sc
caused by irradiance enhancement under certain conditions
(reflection from snow, for example).
Note: The following information provides only general guidelines.
The installation and rated performance of your PV array is subject to inspection
and approval by the authority having jurisdiction.
CAUTION: Equipment damage
The PV array voltage must never exceed 150 V
oc
(open circuit voltage) under any
conditions. The array I
sc
(short circuit current) must not exceed the 60 A input
current rating of the Xantrex XW SCC at any time.
