Growatt HF series inverters are gri d-tied inverters whi ch convert DC cur rent
generated by PV mo dules into AC c urrent a nd feed it into the public grid in single­phase. Growa tt HF in verters are multi-string inver ters with high frequency
transformer for ga lvanic isolation, with the specially design ed i ntegrated high
frequen cy tra nsformer and wide input voltage range Growatt HF are able to be
connected to different pane ls ( e.g. monocrystal, polyc rystal s ilicon panels and thin­film panels).

Grid-tied PV System Overview:

As drawings shown above, a complete g rid-tied PV system consists of PV m odules, PV
inverters, publi c grid and other compon ents. Moreover, PV inverters a lways act as key
components.

Fig 1.3

The Growatt HF inverters may only be oper ated with PV generators (modules a nd
cabling) with protective insulatio n. D on't connect any sources of energy other than
PV modules to the Growatt HF inver ters.

When your PV sys tem contains Growa tt HF inv erters o r any oth er Growatt inverters,
the PV sys tem design software ShineDesign w ill provide adequa te supp orts.

Notes
range, Growatt HF is v ery suitable for thin-film sys tems or any other PV systems tha t
requires NEGATIVE GR OUND or GALVAN IC ISOLATION.

: Because of the high frequenc y transform er isolation and wide input voltage
