Inverter HUAWEI SUN2000-17KTL-M5 17 kW, grid-tie solar inverter, single-phase/three-phase compatibility

The HUAWEI SUN2000-17KTL-M5 is a grid-tied solar inverter with 17 kW rated power, designed for residential and small commercial photovoltaics. It integrates two MPPT (maximum power point tracking) channels and four input strings to optimize energy harvest from multiple roof orientations and array sections. The compact inverter supports standard grid connection and is suitable for installations requiring reliable DC–AC conversion and monitoring capability.

Advantages

This HUAWEI inverter offers high conversion efficiency for a 17 kW class device and dual MPPT inputs to maximize production from varied string configurations. The model provides flexible PV input with four string inputs, allowing separate optimization of different array sections. Built-in communication and monitoring compatibility simplify system supervision and fault diagnosis.

Suitable for

• Residential installations with large roof areas
• Small commercial buildings and shops
• Rooftop systems with arrays oriented in two directions
• Upgrades or replacements of existing inverters up to ~17 kW
