Growatt MIC 3000TL-X2 – 3 kW single-phase inverter with 2 MPPTs

The Growatt MIC 3000TL-X2 is a smart choice for those looking for a reliable, compact single-phase PV inverter around 3 kW. The big advantage of the X2 version is that you are allowed to connect a higher amperage to the string. This makes the inverter more suitable for the new solar panels.

This is a grid-connected string inverter (not a hybrid inverter). So you use it for converting solar power to 230 V in the home and (if applicable) feed-in to the grid. A home battery can only be connected via a separate (AC-coupled) solution, not directly to this inverter.

Why this inverter is so popular

• Higher input current more design freedom
  You can also connect the newer panel types to this inverter.
• Compact and light
  The MIC series is known as conveniently sized for mounting in garage, shed or on a facade (sheltered and compliant).
• Quiet in operation
  The efficient electronics and passive cooling (model-dependent) usually make this a fine inverter for courtyards where you don’t want a “fan concert”.
• Monitoring via Growatt Shine
  Simply pair a Growatt data logger (e.g. ShineWiFi-X / ShineLAN-X / ShineLink-X, depending on your situation) and track yield and status in the app.

Key applications

• Homes with 1-phase connection and a PV field around 3 kW AC.
• Replacement of an older 1-phase inverter in the same power class (note grid code/settings).

Technical highlights

• AC side: single-phase 230 V (residential)
• DC side: 1MPPT, 16a maximum DC input
• Protection: suitable for outdoor use (IP class), in practice preferably mounted under cover
• Monitoring: via Growatt Shine platform with a suitable data logger

Installation tips

• 1. String design: check Voc at cold
  Always calculate the Voc at low temperature. In winter, panel voltage can be considerably higher than on a summer day.
• 2. DC connectors and crimping
  Use good MC4-compatible connectors and the right crimping tool. Poor crimping = heat = hassle.
• 3. AC protection and cable cross-sectioning
  A 3 kW inverter gives a maximum of 14.3A on 230 V. Choose circuit breaker, earth fault and cable cross-section according to NEN1010 and the situation in the meter cupboard.
• 4. Control monitoring immediately
  Install the right data logger immediately and register in Growatt Shine. Then you can see from day 1 whether your strings are performing nicely.
