Through firmware control over power conversion and the management of K1 and
K2, Conext XW+ can facilitate advanced interaction with the utility grid to
optimize the utilization of renewable and non-renewable energy sources.
Because the Conext XW+ is a device capable of forming an AC grid signal (AC
voltage and frequency) it is also ideal for use off-grid.
The red arrows in the diagrams below represent the direction of power flow in the
respective modes of operation. These modes and other special functions will be
explained throughout this manual.
