Overview

The GoodWe MT Series is a range of four-MPPT, three-phase, transformerless grid-connected solar inverters designed to convert direct current (DC) generated by photovoltaic (PV) modules into alternating current (AC) that conforms to local utility grid parameters and is fed into the grid. This manual provides essential instructions for the installation and maintenance of these inverters, which include models such as GW30KLV-MT, GW35KLV-MT, GW50KLV-MT, GW50KN-MT, GW50KBF-MT, GW60KN-MT, GW60KBF-MT, GW70KHV-MT, GW75K-MT, GW80KHV-MT, GW80K-MT, and GW80KBF-MT.

Function Description:

The core function of the MT Series inverter is power conversion. It takes DC power from PV strings, transmits it to a DC BUS via a BOOST circuit, and then converts it into AC power suitable for the grid. The four Maximum Power Point Trackers (MPPTs) ensure optimal power utilization even under varying PV installation conditions. Integrated protective circuits safeguard both the inverter and human safety. A DC switch is included for safe disconnection of the DC input. The inverters offer standard RS485 and optional Wi-Fi interfaces for communication, allowing for running data display and parameter configuration via an LCD panel or a dedicated app (SolarGo App).

The inverter's functions are broadly categorized into:

  • Conversion Function: Converts DC power from PV modules into AC power compliant with the grid requirements of the installation country.
  • Data Storage and Display: Stores running information and fault records, displaying them on the LCD screen or through the SolarGo App.
  • Parameter Configuration: Allows for various parameter settings to optimize operation.
  • Communication Interface: Provides USB (for service debug), Wi-Fi (optional), and standard RS485 communication interfaces for monitoring and data logging.
  • Protection Functions: Includes comprehensive protection mechanisms such as insulation resistance to ground surveillance, input voltage monitoring, residual current monitoring, anti-islanding protection, PV array string fault monitoring, DC fuse, DC switch, DC SPD (Surge Protective Device), AC SPD, SPD fault monitoring, AC overcurrent protection, and insulation monitoring.
