that are involved to successfully install the Xantrex GT100 E to meet the required
national, state, and local codes.
Definition A power system (such as the Xantrex GT100 E) is a collection of devices
designed to supply AC power to the utility grid from a solar energy (PV) source.
Components All types of grid-tied inverter installations, residential or industrial, share common
components. This chapter describes each component and suggests the
minimum requirements for a safe installation.
