It has an AC output surge current rating of 200% for 2 seconds and 125% for 15 Seconds. Maximum PV input power is up to 200% oversize.

Up to four ONE units can be installed per phase in parallel, with each working independently and as part of a cluster. Integrated communications and control features include Canbus, WiFi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, RS485, and there are 2 x relay outputs.

The XESS ONE offers black start functionality with both solar panels and a generator, and hot-swappable inverter technology allows uninterrupted swapping or adding more inverter modules.
