Growatt MIC 800TL-X2 String Inverter, 800W, Single-Phase

The Growatt MIC 800TL-X2 (MPN: MIC 800TL-X2) is a compact grid-tied inverter for single-phase PV systems. With a rated AC power output of 800 W, an MPP tracker for one PV string, and a recommended PV power of up to 1200 W, this model is suitable for appropriately sized grid-connected PV systems. The maximum PV input current is 16 A, while the MPPT voltage range extends from 50 to 500 V. An OLED display, touch button, and various communication options are available for operation and system monitoring.

Compact 800 W string inverter with 16 A PV input

• 800 W AC rated power for single-phase grid feed-in
• Up to 1,200 W recommended PV power
• 1 MPP tracker with 1 PV string input
• OLED display with touch button for local display and operation
• Integrated RS485; additional monitoring interfaces available as options
• IP66 protection rating against dust and powerful water jets
• Passive cooling via natural convection
• Comprehensive integrated protection and monitoring functions

One MPP tracker for one PV string

The inverter features an MPP tracker and a PV string input. The MPP tracker (Maximum Power Point Tracker) adjusts the electrical operating point of the connected solar modules during operation so that the available PV power can be utilized within the permissible operating range. For this model variant, Growatt specifies a maximum recommended PV power of 1200 W.

OLED Display, Touch Controls, and Monitoring

The device overview shows an OLED display, an LED status indicator, and a touch button on the front panel. The touch-sensitive button can be used to switch between display screens and to confirm selections and settings. The status indicator signals various operating states, such as normal operation, warning, or error. The connections for PV, AC, DRM, communication, and USB are located on the bottom of the device. RS485 is integrated for communication. Additionally, USB, Wi-Fi, RF, and LAN can be used as available or optional interfaces. OLED, LED, Wi-Fi, and an app are also available as display and monitoring options. These include the optional monitoring devices ShineWiFi-X, Shine4G-X, ShineLink-X, and ShineLAN-X.

Protection Features for Grid Operation

• Growatt equips the MIC-X2 series with several integrated protection and monitoring functions. These include:
• DC reverse polarity protection
• DC switch
• Type III AC/DC overvoltage protection
• Insulation resistance monitoring
• AC short-circuit protection
• Ground Fault Monitoring
• Grid monitoring
• Anti-islanding protection and residual current monitoring
• AFCI—an optional protection feature on the EU model

Anti-islanding protection prevents the grid-connected inverter from independently maintaining an off-grid system in the event of a failure in the public power grid. The MIC 800TL-X2 is therefore designed as a grid-connected inverter and not as an off-grid or backup power inverter.
