OutBack Radian GS8048A

The Radian Series GS8048A Grid/Hybrid™ (full-flexibility grid-interactive/off-grid) inverter/charger is engineered toward one goal: making system design and installation easier and faster in grid-interactive and comprehensive off-grid applications. The new Radian Series inherit the hallmark features of the original design. These features include dual AC inputs for grid/generator flexibility with no external switching required, unparalleled surge capability and operational stability, easy field upgradeability and stacking capability for large system scaling, simplified system commissioning through a powerful, easy-to-use configuration wizard, and multi-mode operational flexibility.

In addition, both models have a new Advanced Battery Charging (ABC) profile option to support leading-edge battery technologies such as lithium-ion and others. The GS8048 includes enhanced diagnostics for improved performance. And both incorporate OutBack’s GridZero technology; a superior level of intelligence in energy management for self-generation and self-consumption programs. GridZero provides precise balancing between using stored energy, solar and utility power, blending-in the latter to overcome surges and load spikes when needed. GridZero operation makes it possible for a smaller inverter and battery system to perform like a much larger one when required, putting stored and renewable energy sources to work and minimizing grid dependence. GridZero technology make the new Radians ideal for use in complex utility environments such as California and Hawaii.

The GS8048A is not CSA-listed any more (they were but the listing expired, until Outback renews their listings with CSA)
