Frequently asked questions
Common questions about GRAPE SOLAR from 3G Electric.
What are the input and output specifications of the GRAPE SOLAR pure sine wave inverter?
The GRAPE SOLAR pure sine wave inverter, identified by MPN Xantrex Prowatt SW 2000 (806-1220), accepts a DC input voltage range of 10.5 to 15.5 V from a battery source. It produces a 104 to 127 V AC output at 60 Hz with a continuous power rating of 1,800 W. The inverter has two outlets and is designed to power sensitive electronics and other AC loads requiring a pure sine wave. This makes it suitable for off-grid and backup power systems where a stable AC supply is needed from a DC battery bank.
What is the voltage at maximum power point for the GRAPE SOLAR GS-STAR-100W solar panel?
The GRAPE SOLAR GS-STAR-100W solar panel has a voltage at maximum power point of 19.12 V. It delivers 100 W at maximum power point and consists of 36 cells. The panel is equipped with MC4 connectors for integration into off-grid and grid-tied solar systems. This specification is important for matching the panel to charge controllers and inverters to ensure efficient power transfer. The 19.12 V rating is typical for a 36-cell panel designed to charge 12 V battery systems.
What is the current rating of the GRAPE SOLAR GS-FUSE-20A in-line fuse?
The GRAPE SOLAR GS-FUSE-20A is an in-line fuse for photovoltaic systems with a maximum current rating of 20 A. It features a female MC4 connector and is designed for overcurrent protection in solar panel wiring. This fuse is typically installed between solar panels and charge controllers to protect against excessive current that could damage equipment or pose a safety hazard. The 20 A rating makes it suitable for systems with higher current output, such as multiple panels connected in parallel.
What are the differences between the GRAPE SOLAR GS-100-KIT and GS-100-EXP solar panel kits?
The GRAPE SOLAR GS-100-KIT is a 100 W solar panel kit with 36 cells, designed for off-grid and backup power applications such as charging batteries in RVs. It does not include a battery. The GS-100-EXP is a 100 W solar panel expansion kit intended to add capacity to an existing solar system. Like the GS-100-KIT, it does not include a battery. Both kits deliver 100 W total system power output. The primary difference is their intended use: the GS-100-KIT is for new installations, while the GS-100-EXP is for expanding existing arrays.
What type of connectors are used on GRAPE SOLAR PV solar wires?
GRAPE SOLAR PV solar wires are available with different connector types. The GS-MC4-15 is a 15 ft wire with 10 AWG conductor and MC4 connectors, used for interconnecting solar panels in photovoltaic arrays. The GS-CBL-CC-5 is a 5 ft wire with 10 AWG conductor and ring lug connections, color-coded black and red for polarity identification, used for DC connections. Both are suitable for outdoor use in residential, commercial, and utility-scale applications. The choice between MC4 and ring lug depends on the specific connection points in the system.
What is the maximum current rating of the GRAPE SOLAR GS-FUSE-15A?
The GRAPE SOLAR GS-FUSE-15A is an in-line fuse for photovoltaic systems with a maximum current rating of 15 A. It has a female MC4 connector and is designed for overcurrent protection in solar panel wiring. This fuse is commonly installed between solar panels and charge controllers to safeguard against excessive current. The 15 A rating is appropriate for smaller solar arrays or individual strings where the maximum current does not exceed this value. It provides a simple, replaceable protection solution for DC circuits.
