Why chose the new Xantrex XW system with battery backup instead of a straight line tie inverter?
Here’s a few reasons: 1) Time Shifting Strategy saves twice as much money by using the Time of Use (TOU) strategy: · Program inverter to operate from battery power during peak hours (noon – 7pm) · Bank all of the solar production at .35 cents per kWh · Charge batteries off peak at .08 cents per kWh and use electricity any time off peak for .08 cents per kWh 2) Energy Independence automatically shifts to battery power during power interruptions: · Maintains all computer and phone communications · No food spoilage · Keep sewer pumps and other critical equipment functioning · Keep cool while other panic in earthquakes, storms and rotating brown outs Read more details about the XW Power System Components here.
