The Solectria XGI 1500 is a family of 1500 V three-phase inverters made by Yaskawa Solectria Solar. It includes the 125 to 250 kW models, the DCG variants and the XGI 1500-1MW utility-scale modular central series. In PowerRack configurations, each XGI 1500-250 inverter accepts up to 1500 Vdc. It tracks at full power from 860 to 1250 Vdc and feeds 600 Vac three-phase at 60 Hz. A PowerRack combines two to eight XGI 1500 inverters, for totals between 0.5 MW and 2 MW. It can also use the 600 Vac or 480 Vac models. You can reach the inverters over WiFi from a smart device or over Ethernet from a PC. They work with SolrenView monitoring without extra hardware, and a Modbus manual covers the smart grid features. The DCG models functionally ground the DC negative, which prevents PID in modules that are susceptible to it. Yaskawa's Applications Engineering team must review each project's single-line diagram and transformer configuration. The 1MW models are listed to UL 1741, IEEE 1547, UL 1998 and CSA C22.2 No. 107.1, with TÜV Rheinland as the testing agency. They support manual firmware updates through the Remote Access Portal. The CR1500 remote combiners are designed to pair with the XGI 1500-1MW series.

c2 drafted · lead Wi-Fi

Communication platform reachable over WiFi from a smart device.

c3 drafted · lead Ethernet

Accessible over Ethernet from a PC; the 1MW series has two interchangeable Ethernet ports.

c4 drafted · lead Modbus

A Smart Grid Feature and Modbus Manual covers XGI 1500 models from 125/125 to 250/250.

review note: support check: partial - A Modbus manual exists for those models, but the passage only lists models and doesn't explicitly say the inverter uses Modbus protocol.
