Growatt 5KW MIN 5000TL-XH-US Grid-Tie | Battery Storage Solar Inverter

Growatt MIN 5000TL-XH-US 5 kW Grid-Tie Battery-Ready Inverter

A 5 kW single-phase grid-tie inverter for a mid-size roof of eleven to twenty-two 450 W panels, battery-ready for a Growatt APX or ARO high-voltage battery. 98.2 percent peak efficiency.

The MIN XH-US is Growatt's battery-ready grid-tie inverter for US homes: it works as a plain string inverter on day one, and becomes a backup system when a Growatt APX or ARO high-voltage battery and the XH backup box are added later, without replacing the inverter. It can be DC-coupled (panels and battery on the inverter) or AC-coupled onto an existing solar system, runs self-consumption, zero-export, time-of-use and off-grid modes, and can dark-start from the battery with the grid down. Rapid shutdown and arc-fault protection are built in, it is listed to UL 1741 SA/SB and CA Rule 21 (HECO compliant), and it mounts indoors or out in a NEMA 4X case with no fan. Monitoring is by Wi-Fi and LAN through the Growatt app; 4G is optional.

Sizing: Two MPP trackers with four string inputs, 600 V maximum PV voltage, and a 2.0 DC/AC ratio, so up to 10 kW of panels; 21 A maximum output on a 208 or 240 V service. Battery port: 360–550 V, 15 A, 5.2 kW charge or discharge.

Which version: choose Partial Home Backup (V2) to back up an essentials sub-panel through the SYN 200-XH-US, or Whole Home Backup (V3) to back up the main panel through the ATS-XH-US transfer switch; the backup box, battery and smart meter are sold separately. The inverter carries Growatt's 10-year warranty, extendable to 15 or 20 years.

Specifications are from Growatt's datasheet and are for reference; the installation must follow the manual, the NEC and local code, be carried out by a licensed electrician, and the interconnection approved by your utility.
