Makes sense thanks, will check the output. Just a standard fridge nothing fancy. Will check and revert back with my findings.

Ok great thanks for the responses. I had read the hairdryer scenario on another post. As you say it upsets some and not others as I did not have this challenge on my Kodak. Regarding the fridge, it still has the same issue when battery is fully charged but running purely off solar, so seems to be whenever not on grid.

I did consider the inrush current on the fridges but even with everything else off it will not start. I'm wondering if the output of the inverter is not as clean as I think, perhaps the waveform is not pure.

They are yeah, 5.1kw. the fridges only draw 400w and hairdryer around 1600w so should be well withing spec.

Hi everyone, I have an 5.6 MK4 model (round display) with some strange behaviour. The first issue is I am running 3 fridges off the unit and 2 of them work perfectly however the compressor on the newest one (Bosch unit) refuses to start while the inverter is "inverting" either off solar or battery. I presume this is a protection feature of the fridge. Then when running on battery in the evening, whenever my wife uses her hair dryer I get an F55 fault and the inverter either shuts down and has to be restarted or it restarts itself. I have read of this issue elsewhere on the forum but am not sure what the resolution is. I recently changed from a Kodak VMiii and never had these issues until I put the MK4 in. As a side note I can confirm that my PV yield on the MK4 is much better then that of the VMiii. The inverter is running firmware 74.01. Is there a newer version of firmware for the MK4 and could this potentially resolve the issues or is it an inverter fault. Appreciate all and any assistance!

Hi there, I’ve sent you a DM.

Hey guys, looking for any not working / damaged or very used lithium batteries. Not sure what is out there but just trying my luck. Thanks!

Looking for any used 12v / 24v lithium batteries for use in a 24v system.

I connected the third panel and so far so good! No issues, I can only think that there was a faulty component or dry capacitors but all is good. Thanks for all the help

Thanks for all the info, with 2 panels I’m getting about 900w, keen to add the third to get this a bit higher. Voltages are all definitely well within range so I don’t see any issues.

Ok cool thank you, they do indeed have 5 columns

Thanks guys, the spec sheet says they are 110 cell Mono, do you think this makes a difference?

Hey guys, just to give you an update, I had the inverter repaired and connected 2 of the 3 panels. All is working well as it should, only now I have a panel up on the roof doing nothing. Perhaps I should chance connecting it again or otherwise just upgrade to something bigger. Either way 2 is working for now. Thanks everyone

Thank you, I suspected the same thing. May not be the specs that are actually printed.

I’m going to drop one panel for now and give it a go, will let you know how it turns out. Holding thumbs
