XW+6848 — Schneider Electric XW+ 6848 Hybrid Solar Inverter
The Schneider Electric XW+ 6848 is a 6800 W, 48 V DC hybrid inverter/charger designed for off-grid, grid-tied, and grid-interactive solar-plus-storage systems, combining a high-efficiency 120 A battery charger, a 6 kW AC transfer switch, and a pure sine wave inverter in a single wall-mount enclosure. The XW+ 6848 is the cornerstone of Schneider's Conext system architecture — it communicates with Conext MPPT solar charge controllers, Conext AGS automatic generator start modules, and Xanbus-enabled battery management systems via the proprietary Xanbus network, enabling fully automated energy management without a separate controller. Grid-tied operating mode allows excess solar energy to be exported to the grid or stored in batteries, while grid-interactive mode provides seamless backup power during outages with transition times under 16 ms.
Technically, the XW+ achieves up to 93% inversion efficiency and operates across a wide battery voltage range of 44–68 V DC, making it compatible with 48 V lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) and lead-acid battery chemistries. The unit's staggered parallel stacking capability allows up to nine XW+ units to operate in parallel or in three-phase configuration — scaling a single-system design to 54 kW or full three-phase 18 kW configurations for larger commercial applications. Its peak power handling of 12 kW for 30 seconds accommodates high motor inrush currents from well pumps and air compressors that exceed the nominal inverter rating.
In Saudi Arabia, the XW+ 6848 addresses the growing market for reliable off-grid power at remote locations — agricultural farms in Al-Ahsa and the Qassim region, telecom repeater stations across the Empty Quarter, and construction site camps for NEOM and Red Sea Project. Saudi Arabia's Renewable Energy Project Development Office (REPDO) and the Saudi Electricity Company's rural electrification programmes utilise hybrid inverter systems like the XW+ to serve villages and facilities where grid extension is uneconomical. The unit's wide ambient operating range of -20°C to +60°C makes it one of the few inverters rated for direct summer outdoor installation in Saudi Arabia without derating.
Razz Middle East stocks the XW+ 6848 and the matching XW+ parallel stacking kit, Conext MPPT charge controllers, and Xanbus communication accessories for complete off-grid and hybrid solar-storage system solutions. We provide system design, supply, installation, and commissioning for agricultural, telecom, and remote infrastructure projects across Saudi Arabia and the GCC.

Key Features & Benefits
- Xanbus network communication integrates XW+ with Conext MPPT solar charge controllers, AGS automatic generator start, and battery BMS modules — enabling fully automated energy management without a separate controller.
- Parallel stacking of up to nine XW+ 6848 units scales system capacity to 54 kW or full three-phase 18 kW, applying the same design architecture to both residential and commercial off-grid applications.
- 12 kW 30-second peak power capacity handles motor inrush currents from well pumps, air compressors, and refrigeration compressors that exceed continuous inverter rating, preventing nuisance overload trips.
- 93% peak inversion efficiency and automatic idle-mode current reduction minimise battery self-discharge losses at low loads — critical for maximising overnight battery runtime in remote off-grid installations.
- Under 16 ms transfer time from grid to inverter operation protects sensitive electronics from the mains interruption, satisfying the requirements of telecom and control equipment that cannot tolerate longer transfer gaps.
- Wide -20°C to +60°C ambient operating range enables direct outdoor wall-mount installation in Saudi Arabia's desert climate without a separate air-conditioned enclosure, reducing system cost and maintenance.
- Selectable grid sell modes (zero export, sell excess, sell all) allow system owners to comply with Saudi Electricity Company's distributed generation connection requirements and Net Metering programme rules.
Industrial Applications in Saudi Arabia
- Off-grid agricultural irrigation and farm electrification in Al-Ahsa and the Qassim region, where XW+ hybrid systems replace diesel generator sets with solar-plus-storage solutions that reduce fuel costs by 70–90%.
- Telecom repeater station and microwave link power at remote sites across the Empty Quarter and northern Saudi border regions, where grid extension is cost-prohibitive and diesel logistics are challenging.
- NEOM and Red Sea Project construction camp temporary power supply using mobile solar-plus-storage systems based on XW+ inverters with trailer-mounted PV arrays and lithium battery banks.
- REPDO rural electrification programme hybrid power systems serving remote villages and hamlets in Saudi Arabia's interior regions not yet connected to the national grid.
- Water desalination and pumping systems for remote communities and agricultural projects, where solar-powered XW+ systems drive submersible well pumps and small RO desalination units.
- Guard post and monitoring station power supply at remote pipeline and infrastructure monitoring points operated by Saudi Aramco and Saudi Aramco Gas along the Kingdom's extensive pipeline network.
- Eco-resort and glamping facilities at AlUla and the Hejaz mountains, where off-grid solar-storage systems enable luxury accommodation with minimal environmental footprint and no generator noise.
