XW
System* is the ideal solution for grid-
interactive and off-grid single-phase, split-
phase, and three-phase applications. Most
applications use solar arrays, but a wind
generator, micro-hydro generator, and/or
a fuel generator can also be incorporated
into the system.
The grid interactive functionality allows
excess energy that is generated to be
exported to the grid, and allows the grid
to act as an additional energy source
to charge the systems batteries. Grid-
connected homes can also benet from
the use of a Schneider Electric Conext XW
System as the inverter will automatically
detect a grid failure and instantly switch to
backup power stored in the battery bank.
When the grid is active, the XW System
will monitor and regulate battery charging
to ensure the batteries are ready to supply
backup power when the grid fails.

Off-grid power
The Schneider Electric Conext XW System
can process multiple forms of incoming
power, making it a popular choice for
off-grid applications (those not connected
to the grid), as it provides homes with
a completely autonomous supply of
electricity. Most applications use solar
arrays, but a wind generator, micro-hydro
generator, and/or a fuel generator can also
be incorporated into the system.
