Schneider Electric Solar, an industry leader of solar technology and energy management, announced that its XW Pro solar hybrid inverter is now eligible for the California’s energy storage rebates. Customers can install the XW Pro at low cost through the Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP), which provides rebates to support homeowners and communities in acquiring affordable energy storage in California.
Depending on their eligibility, SGIP recipients can receive up to $1,000 per kWh for their qualifying energy resources. California homeowners and installers who want to apply for the SGIP rebates can now use the XW Pro and experience reliable and secure energy in their homes. The XW Pro offers the most reliable operation of backup power and off-grid loads with a high overload power rating (1.75x).

“The XW Pro offers the most reliable operation of backup power and off-grid loads with a high overload power rating (1.75x).”
The original (Xantrex) XW6048 inverter/chargers were released 20 years ago, when the company was bought out by Schneider, Xantrex Technology in 2008 the company moved forward and expanded. The new XW6848 pro seems to be cut from the same cloth. There still is an off grid installation powering an irrigation gate control canal site in the harsh desert and has been online for 14 years now, 24/7, 365-6 without an equipment failure. From past experience, the XW and CONEXT grouping makes for a very robust grid system or off grid system. The legacy system has already been designed and is in the retail sector, if Schneider could bring the price down, that would be great.
