2.1 Intended Use
Multigate XT
The Multigate XT is an outdoor rated enclosure containing between 1 and 4 Sunny
Multigates, associated terminal blocks for inputs from each string of Sunny Boy micro
inverters, associated terminal blocks for outputs of each Sunny Multigate to the AC
Grid connection point, and associated hardware for Speedwire/Webconnect (related to
Ethernet) connection for monitoring system performance over the internet.
Figure 1: Design of a PV plant with Sunny Boy 240-US and Multigate XT
The Multigate XT contains between 1 to 4 Sunny Multigates, each of which are a
communication unit that forms the connection point of the PV plant with a maximum
of twelve micro inverters to the utility grid. The Multigate XT is connected between the
Sunny Boy 240-US micro inverter and the utility grid to feed the alternating current
converted by the inverters collectively into the utility grid. The Multigate XT is designed
for split-phase operation only. The Multigate XT must be operated in conjunction with
SMA Sunny Boy 240-US.
