The Radian Series GS4048A-01 Grid/Hybrid™ (full-flexibility grid-interactive/off-grid) Inverter/Charger is engineered toward one goal: making system design and installation easier and faster in grid-interactive and comprehensive off-grid applications. The new Radian Series inherit the hallmark features of the original design, including: dual AC inputs for grid/generator flexibility with no external switching required, unparalleled surge capability and operational stability, easy field upgradeability and stacking capability for large system scaling, simplified system commissioning through a powerful, easy-to-use configuration wizard, and multi-mode operational flexibility.
In addition, both models have a new Advanced Battery Charging (ABC) profile option to support leading-edge battery technologies such as Lithium-Ion and others, and enhanced diagnostics for improved performance. And both incorporate OutBack’s GridZero technology, a superior level of intelligence in energy management for self-generation and self-consumption programs, providing precise balancing between using stored energy, solar and utility power, blending-in the latter to overcome surges and load spikes when needed. GridZero operation makes it possible for a smaller inverter and battery system to perform like a much larger one when required, putting stored and renewable energy sources to work and minimizing grid dependence. GridZero technology make the new Radians ideal for use in complex utility environments such as California and Hawaii.
The GS8048A and GS4048A-01 are certified to UL1741 SA for US applications, and CSA C22.2 No. 107.1 for Canada, and is IEC 62109-1 certified to meet the most stringent worldwide PV safety and emission standards.
This product is for selected North, Central and Latin American markets.
Features
Grid-interactive and stand-alone capability in the same package
8000 and 4000 Watts of continuous power, respectively
GridZero Technology minimizes grid dependence
Unsurpassed surge capacity
Field adjustable input/output voltage and frequency boundries
Dual AC inputs
Field serviceable modular design
GSLC load center option allows for quick and easy installation
IEEE 1547-2018 requires the local communications interface to remain available whenever the DER is operating. This indirectly creates a requirement for the IQ Gateway not to reboot during and following a low voltage ride through event. The IQ Gateway hardware was redesigned to meet this requirement so installers must only choose from the list of supported hardware and be running software versions 7.3.460 or later to be fully compliant.

Simple integrated design
For the first time, nearly all of the components
you need are combined in a single package.
No matter what the application, no matter what
the power requirement, we make it easy:
Everything’s seamless. Easy to install. Simple and
intuitive to live with.
Unsurpassed engineering to handle load surges
Keeping the lights on is easy. But what happens to
the computer, wide-screen TV and other sensitive
electronics loads if you need to power the well
pump? The Radian Series is unique in its ability
to support large dynamic load variations without
voltage spikes or sags.
True energy independence
Basic grid-tie systems can sell back power from a
renewable energy source, but only grid-interactive
systems can power the load if the grid fails. The
Radian Series Inverter/Charger’s dual AC inputs
also provide the flexibility to connect to the grid
and recharge the batteries from a generator. So
you have a continuous power supply, even if
emergency conditions last a week or more.
A power solution that scales
Finally, your customers can get the security of
a grid-interactive solution combined with the
ease of a basic grid-direct PV system. 120/240V
output integrates directly into standard home
wiring, while the modular, parallel architecture
combined with OutBack’s robust HUB Communications Manager provides the ability to build
a system to power nearly any load imaginable
