Solar Direct Option For CX34 Air To Water Heat Pump. No Batteries & No Net-Metering.

Connect 4 standard solar panels to the ACDCX Asymmetric Inverter. Connect the ACDCX to Grid. Connect ACDCX to CX34. Depending on conditions, the CX34 can run directly from solar using the ACDCX. When ACDCX solar power is not enough, the ACDCX gets small amounts of extra power from the grid, just exactly enough to make up the difference. No special meter or net-metering agreements are needed. The most basic configuration is shown above. Max output per ACDCX is 1.25 kW. A special-order dual ACDCX may be used to connect up to 8 solar PV panels for 2.5 kW. Note, CX34 power consumption ranges from 400w to 2500w, with average power draw under 1200w. Spec Sheet

Operate CX34 with solar power only, grid power only, or combined solar and grid. Unlike a normal grid-tied solar inverter, ACDCX can provide AC power during utility power outage.		Asymmetric: No power ever sent back to grid. No net-metering agreement or special meter needed. One-Way grid connection allows ACDCX to pull but not export power. MPPT for each PV panel. MC4 Plug-N-Play.

Below shows how the ACDCX Asymmetric Inverter can be used with a sub-panel to power other 240v loads, and/or how it can be used along with an optional grid-tied PV system. Max sub-panel loading is 20 amps.

ACDCX and can also power critical 240v loads from the sub-panel (day time) during a utility/grid power outage when enough solar energy is available. During a grid power outage only loads smaller than available solar power should be operated from the ACDCX sub panel. Note, if grid power is not available and solar cannot meet the sub-panel load, the ACDCX will trip offline and will try to restart periodically. NOTE: 240v power is provided as true single phase L1+N. There is no 120v "leg". There is no L2. Please consult the manual or contact our technical support dept. with any questions.

What is the ACDCX Asymmetric Inverter?

The ACDCX is essentially a 4-channel/4x MPPT microinverter with a one-way AC grid tie rated at 1.25 kW output, and smart AC power pass-through. It uses all available solar-derived AC power as primary power, and blends in any needed extra AC power from the main panel (utility power) as secondary power. ACDCX has MC4 connections for connecting to 4 standard 72 cell solar panels up to 380w each. Two special-order dual ACDCX can be combined for 2.5 kW.

4x MC4 connectors for solar panels
1x 240v grid connection
1x 240v load connection

One of the unique things about the ACDCX and the reason we call it "asymmetric" is that the ACDCX microinverter does not export power to the grid, but can use power from the grid, if and when needed. Any needed grid power is seamlessly mixed into the solar power. Solar is always primary. The ACDCX can also work when utility/grid is not connected or available. In this case you can consider limiting the CX34 max capacity for temporary off-grid use, contact Chiltrix technical support for information.

Compatibility: We have models for 120v, 208v, 220v, 230v, and the 240v. model is =standard, at 60Hz, we also have 50Hz models.

NOTE: MAKE SURE TO ORDER THE CORRECT MODEL FOR YOUR VOLTAGE.
STANDARD MODEL IS 60Hz 240V, other specs can be special ordered.

Not allowed to export power?  Monthly net metering fees too high? At the utility company limit for net-metering? No Problem, the ACDCX does not export power and does not feed power back to the utility grid, it is a one-way grid tie inverter. No special meter and no net metering is needed for using the ACDCX. The ACDCX one-way grid tie inverter lets you enjoy solar immediately and without utility company permission.
