This small startup quickly grew by offering innovative and well designed solutions to renewable energy problems. OutBack listened to their customers and made many of the changes that were suggested, creating a truly customer focused company in the power conversion electronics industry. 002 OutBack introduces its first sealed sinewave inverter/charger, the FX2024 - with resounding success. This single model changed the way people looked at system design by offering unprecedented flexibility in system design and expansion while the sealed construction allowed for uses which previously would have been considered too "extreme"for other inverter/chargers. OutBack releases the MX60 solar MPPT Charge Controller redefining performance and value. This revolutionary product changed the way solar systems were being installed and quickly gained a reputation for getting the most power possible from a PV array - often making it more expensive to not use one. 2€1(i3 OutBack launches the first of the vented versions of the FX Series Inverter/Chargers. These VFX models were introduced in direct response to our customers' requests providing higher power at a similar price as the sealed counterpart. OutBack launches the PS2, value priced system integration accessories. This line of accessories addressed the needs of our customers for competitively priced system integration accessories for smaller systems. 2iY1 OutBack releases the world'smost efficient grid -interactive inverter/charger. These models raise the bar for performance and value for battery - connected grid -interactive inverter/charger systems. OutBack introduces the PSI fully integrated grid -interactive power system. This unique system sets a new standard for system integration, performance and ease of installation in grid -interactive applications.

Wind. Hydro. Generator. No matter what your energy source OutBack's products are engineered to provide your home or business with reliable electricity day -in and day -out. The OutBack modular system architecture allows your system to grow along with your power needs up to 36,000 watts. Power hungry appliances like washing machines, air conditioning and power tools are easily started by our inverter's substantial surge power capability. When not being used, the inverter enters a power save mode, which consumes as little as 3 watts, saving your battery power for when you need it the most. OutBack's innovative Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology gets the most from your solar array or can also control hydra or wind turbine charging sources. Complete system status and control is easily monitored by a single control, instead of requiring the user to keep an eye on multiple displays and status indicators. Grid -Interactive renewable energy systems enable you to demonstrate your personal commitment to a renewable energy future. With the OutBack grid -interactive system, backup AC power is made available 24 hours a day in the event of a utility outage, providing reliable power, peace -of -mind and the ability to sell power back to the grid when excess power is available. At night, the inverter's automatic power save mode ensures that energy is not wasted by needlessly charging your batteries from the utility grid. An average conversion efficiency of 91% using the California Energy Commission (CEC) test protocol provides greater savings and a shorter time period for system payback. OmBack's grid -interactive technology provides you more than a typical solar inverter, we also have an unmatched ability to utilize solar, wind and hydropower sources. i`�fi^:;i ";3'$4.. ,-'sine, E.'! Pl'. r.:`iE e_' OutBacVs Mobile and Marine inverter/charger models provide the high performance and reliability you need no matter where your travels take you. Our die-cast metal construction allows mounting in any position, even upside down. The required AC input neutral/ground switching is taken care of by a fully integrated 30 amp AC transfer switch for shore chord or generator hook-up. Three circuit boards and a simple design make field servicing the unit easy no matter where you are. Rigorous testing at the factory ensures that each inverter/charger works the first time as well as for many years to come. 1 s,'°tc_ r efee t i o P. as Wherever you are in the world, OutBack's International off -grid inverter/chargers are engineered to provide your home or business with reliable 50 Hz AC power. Our high surge power capability starts the most demanding of 230 volt appliances and the modular system architecture makes expanding a system's power capacity or switching to three-phase output power simple and trouble free. Both sealed (FX) and vented (VFX) models are available with 50 Hz output to match your installation's environmental conditions. The inverter/charger's low weight (as low as 27 kilograms) and compact dimensions allow easy transport and installation in less than ideal locations. Our field serviceable design eliminates the need to ship inverters if repair or upgrades are required. Superior technical support is available from our European office, allowing questions to be promptly answered and any problems to be quickly resolved. I OmBack inverter/chargers are the next generation in advanced power management. Each is a DC to AC sinewave inverter, battery charger and AC transfer switch housed within a tough die-cast aluminum chassis. Just like the local utility grid, the inverter produces true sinewave AC electricity for your stand-alone or backup power needs. Computers, TVs and pumps are just some of the examples of modern electronics that last longer and run better when powered with true sinewave electricity from an OutBack inverter. Starting up your air conditioning, washing machine or well pump is worry -free because of our high surge power capability. Batteries and generators are the costly consumables when using inverters to generate electricity. The integrated smart battery charger uses multiple stages to perform quick recharging while prolonging battery life, saving your batteries and generator from unnecessary wear. Automatic switching between AC power sources is seamless due to an AC transfer switch that reacts in less than 16 milliseconds. Unique networked communication is built into all OutBack products providing complete integration. Expanding your system with your growing power needs is as simple as adding additional inverters with our modular system architecture. Further flexibility is provided with the ability to be connected at any time in either parallel, series or three-phase power configurations. hndustry leading OutBack reliability is achieved through simplified design and rugged construction.

All OmBack products with integrated battery charging have a temperature compensation system built-in which benefits from the installation of the optional RTS. The RTS ensures that your OutBack system knows the precise ambient temperature so that it can recharge your batteries safely and efficiently. Systems with multiple OmBack products connected to one HUB4 or HUBI0 require only a single RIS to be installed. v Batteries are a key component in batteries enter the FLOAT stage where backup and off -grid systems, often they are given a maintenance charge serving as the only energy storage until there is no excess renewable device. To guarantee that they energy. 'The FX or VFX inverter/ function properly it is important that charger will go into SILENT mode your batteries are maintained. A chief where the charger turns off until the part of this maintenance is proper battery voltage drops to the "re -float" charging. Your batteries should always setting. At this point the inverter/ be maintained above a 50% level of charger initiates the maintenance float charge and receive a complete recharge charge. This method reduces fuel and once a month to ensure operation at utility consumption. peak performance. Prolonged use of the battery below a 50% state of charge will adversely affect the long-term health of the battery and can result in premature failure. The multistage charging process (5 stages) uses several regulation stages to allow fast recharging of the battery energy storage system while ensuring a long battery life, high performance and efficient operation of the overall system. The charging process begins with the BULK stage, where maximum current is sent to the batteries until the target "absorb" voltage is reached and the absorb stage of the charge begins. During ABSORB, the charger provides the batteries with the just enough current to hold at the set voltage for a preset amount of time. Following this cycle, the charging system changes between available OutBack charging products. Using the MX-60, the It should be noted that the temperature of your batteries has an impact on the charging process. The OutBack RTS should be used to monitor this. In higher ambient temperatures, the battery charging regulation settings will be automatically reduced to prevent overcharging of the batteries. Conversely, in lower ambient temperature conditions, the regulation settings will be increased to ensure complete recharging of the batteries. Batteries are composed of a group of individual cells. Through normal use, the charge of each individual cell will not be equal to the other cells. To address this, your batteries should be EQUALIZED either once each month or once every few months depending on usage. During the equalization charge the electrolyte in the battery is stirred up by gas bubbles, which help to create an equal mixture of water and acid. Simultaneously the full cells are overcharged which allows the low cells to "catch up" and all of the active material in the battery to be reconverted to its charged state. Depending on usage, the hardened battery plate material that is no longer active in the battery-sulfation can also be reduced by an equalization charge. MATEAAjwtable 12 The OmBack Power Systems FLEXware Surge Protector is a seamlessly integrated balance -of -system component for the FX Series Inverter/Charger.

'Iherefore we set out to create the world's first group of inverter/chargers that use a truly modular architecture. This modular architecture uses the next generation of a technique referred to as "stacking" to enable you to tailor your system for higher output power, increased charging capabilities and/or three-phase power configuration. Whether stacked in parallel, classic series, series/parallel or three-phase there is always an inverter/charger which performs the task of Master. 'the Master talks to the other units through the HUB system communications manager while performing three major roles, keeping all inverter/chargers properly phased, controlling inverter and charger output levels, as well as putting unused inverters into Power Save mode to improve system efficiency at low AC load levels. Parallel Stacking - More power at same output voltage When the inverter/chargers are stacked io parallel all inveter and charger outputs are combined. This means that each inverters AC output is added up to equal your total system AC output, up to 36,000 watts, io phase at the same 120 VAC/60 Hz or 230 VAC/SO Hz output voltage, Charging output amperage is also combined in this same inanner.

SkW13eM 230 VAG Classic Series Stacking - More power at higher output voltage Stacking inverter/chargers in classic series provides a system with split phase 120/240VAC. This method does not allow balancing between separate legs on a system and is can only be used in dual inverter/charge systems without the X-240 Auto Transformer. Load 3kW 3 kW 120 VAC 120 VAC Leg 1 6 kW 3kW OY 240VAC 120 VAC W'W"o 51 Leg OutBack Series/Parallel Stacking - More power at all output voltages Series/Parallel stacking or OutBack (OB) stacking is unique to OutBack invetedchargers. Never before has it been possible to have inverter/char- gels balancing loads intelligently between two legs of AC power while seamlessly changing between series and parallel. OB Stacking uses the X-240 auto transformer to balance the loads between the two separate series legs of a system. The X-240 allows AC loads ou leg 1 and leg 2 to be powered by auy combination of inveter/chargers within your system. Even if there are only two inverter/chalges, connected in series, they can also func- tion as if connected in parallel. This allows large AC loads to be operated by a system without risking overloading one of the 120 VAC outputs.

Incorporating a transformer with 120 volt/30 amp primary and secondary side, a temperature activated cooling fan and a 25 amp dual breaker in a steal enclosure, the PSX-240 is ready to install in your custom application. Use for 120 or 240 VAC 60 Hz systems only. W0000€a ua'°I "�' Powering 240 volt items like deep well pumps with a single 120 volt inverter is possible thanks to the PSX-240's step-up capability. Its step-down feature allows you to charge your batteries with a 240 volt generator through a single 120 volt inverter. The PSX-240's ability to balance the output of series stacked inverter/chargers makes it a critical item when using the OutBack stacking 120/240 VAC configuration. Che PW-X240 is also available without the enclosure, for installation inside the PW500-AC or PWI000-AC enclosures. _ 240 VAC Inverter/Charger PSX-240 is cell efficiency of up to 15% for high outputs per square foot of P—k ...n AVllo m fhoh The FLEXware System FLEXware is the latest example of OutBack s continuous efforts to bring you the most value ulr�A� packed and technologically advanced productsavailable.0 Our integrating partners, dealers, installers, and system owners spoke -and we listened.

RIP T0P=GF=PGLE MOUNTS Photovoltaic Module Mounting Structures %/ -2 XRECT POWER AND WAFER CORPORATION, LBUQ ERQU , NM USA m QUALITY HARDWARE FOR THE PV INDUSTRY Features and rectifications DESIGN POWER-FAB Top -of -Pole Mounts, manufactured by Direct Power and Water Corporation, are available in several sizes ranging from 1- module through 24-modules -- up to 260 square feet. The rack design is determined by the area of the module(s) to be mounted, not necessarily the number of modules. SERIES 120-6 the system is assembled in just the manner it is intended. No measuring or guesswork is required. All the SERIES 15-2 holes are located exactly where needed. Gaps between modules are minimal and uniform. There will never be excess rack material extending beyond the modules. MATERIALS Strongbacks, Elevation Pivots, and Mounting Sleeves are made of heavy gauge steel flat bar, s q u a r e tubing, andpipeor �- POWER-FAB Top -of -Pole mounts are mechanical designed for maximum strength and BELIES 180-s ease of installation. Our racks are module -specific and not universal, which helps to reduce the number of parts. This simplifies assembly and minimizes assembly errors. No aluminum components are threaded to be attached to other components. All of our mounting sleeves are heavy gauge steel and have fully welded caps. Hardened bolts are used to lock the mounting sleeve to the pole. MODULE -SPECIFIC DESIGN Using a module -specific design allows us to build racks with the fewest number of parts. All racks are made to fit the specific module that is to be mounted. This ensures that t u b i n g conforming to ASTM A36 and ASTM A500-Grade B. All parts are mig-welded, burrs are removed, corners are coped, and edges are sanded. All steel parts are coated with two coats of industrial urethane enamel paint. Solar module mounting rails are made of mill -finish 6061-T6 structural aluminum angle or channel All holes are deburred, and edges are coped and sanded. Stainless steel module mounting hardware is provided with each rack. Standard rack assembly hardware is zinc -plated Grade 5. A stainless steel hardware upgrade is optional. (See back page.) ELEVATION ADJUSTMENT All standard Top -of -Pole Mounts have six tilt -angle settings from 15' to 65' in 10' increments.
