PowerSpout GE 400 - Grid Enabled Hydro Turbine - 380 Volt DC
PowerSpout Grid Enabled (GE) 400 - Hydro Turbine
This is the Grid Enabled version of the PowerSpout for direct connection to grid-tied inverters. This product is for grid connected premises close to a good hydro resource. Electricity generated with the GE is not meant for battery storage. The GE is similar to the ME (MPPT Enabled) version but it generates a higher DC voltage up to 380V DC to allow connection with standard grid tied inverters. At the end of the cable a grid tied inverter converts the incoming voltage to that required to supply the grid. In the event of grid failure the PowerSpout GE diverts its energy to a water heater inside the PowerSpout.
Inside the hydro turbine is a fast acting electronic circuit which progressively connects a water element to prevent the voltage rising rapidly. This prevents the turbine from damaging standard grid connect inverters that typically have an upper limit of 400-500V DC input. There are many brands of grid tied inverters available on the market that can work with our PowerSpout GE. Normal operation resumes once grid power is restored.

We install solar systems in Northern NSW and Southern QLD.
QLD:
Gold Coast (from Coolangatta to Southport), Nerang and Hinterland (Beaudesert) and out West (Warwick, Stanthorpe, Killarney)
NSW:
Northern NSW (Tweed Heads to Yamba, including Evans Head, Byron Bay and Ballina); the Far North Coast Hinterland (Grafton via Lismore to Murwillumbah) and out West (Casino to Tenterfield, including Drake and Tabulam, as well as Woodenbong and Bonalbo)
For larger system we also go up to Brisbane or down to Coffs Harbour and even Glen Innes. Other places by arrangement.
