Detailed Information

This FlexPower One system is built with an FXR3048A inverter charger, with 3,000 W 120 VAC 60 Hz output, designed to work with a 48 V nominal battery bank.

Outback's new pre-assembled and pre-wired FLEXpower systems are now equipped with the updated FXR Series Grid/Hybrid Inverter / Chargers. This means that the most advanced Grid/Hybrid inverter features are now available on the industry's most trusted and proven systems platform, for unmatched flexibility and value.

Each system is field upgradable to eliminate downtime during critical updates, features seven programmable operating modes - including GridZero and Advacned Battery Charging, and offers remote monitoring and control through any internet enabled device with OPTICS RE.

The FLEXpower ONE is ideal for residential and commercial applications including cabins, vacation homes, farm building, remote communications sites and back-up power systems, with all necessary components integrated into a compact hang-on-the-wall system with a minimal footprint. Additional information can be found in the quick-start guide and spec sheet linked below.

The Future of Grid-Tie Stability

As more PV is installed on electrical grids, grid operators need flexible tools to help ensure stability and reliability. Areas with the highest PV penetration rates (Hawaii and California) will soon require grid interconnected systems to have "Grid Support" functions.

OutBack Power is certifying the Radian Series inverter/chargers (along with the FXR Series in the near future) under the new UL 1741 SA test standard to demonstrate compliance with these new requirements from CA Rule 21 and HECO Rule 14H.

What is UL 1741 SA and When Does it Take Effect?

UL 1741 SA is the new safety test standard certifying products which meet the rigorous requirements needed to ensure safe and reliable operation in support of grid modernization efforts. Grid support or "smart inverter" functionality will be required by Hawaii and California beginning September 8, 2017.

Although Hawaii and California are the first states to require grid support functions, expected updates to the IEEE 1547 interconnection standard will make these functions mandatory throughout most of North America within two to three years.

Is Grid Support Important?

As the PV market has grown, the industry has seen increasing grid instability, voltage rise limits, and a lack of standard communication protocol. With added grid support functions, the Radian Series inverter/chargers are being listed to UL 1741 SA, solving key grid integration challenges. UL 1741 SA compliance is planned for OutBack's FXR A Series in the near future.

With the advent of grid support technology, UL 1741 SA compliant models can regulate voltage and power, and they can prevent loss of power generation due to grid disturbances.
