Smartie box setup
I have an assortment of panels and solar charger controllers that I do not use. I have a property that is completely off-grid. I have solar power sufficient for what I need. I have a 180watt connected to a Victron 75/15 that was used for an electric fence. A 265watt that was connected to a Victron 100/30 for 12v basic lighting and 2x 120watt panels along with a Victron 75/15 for camping power. All of these I do not use anymore. At my off grid camp I have a staff member. I installed for him another bunch of very old solar connected to a Victron PWM for basic lighting. I want to combine all the panels to provide to this staff member some more power, connected to a 12volt Hubble or Freedom won. What can I expect from the 4 panels I mentioned above? If I connect all 4 in series on the Victron 100/30 what can I except. Or should I do two strings connected to the 2x Victron 75/15's

DB BOX: AC OUT
Hi guys. I have installed a 5kw Luxpower and Greenrich battery connected to 10x Canadian power 545watt panels. I still need to tidy up the system in terms of trunking and db boxes as I was using the old inverter and battery's installed footprint. I am at this stage only using 10% of the power generated by this system. Reason for this, I live in an old farm house. The house is approximately 100 years old. With every alteration a new DB was installed. Sorting the wiring is a huge headache as alterations of the roof makes acces to wiring near impossible. It seems I am going to have to follow the trend of adding a db. My plan is to move some of the load pool pump and AC's to a db situated directly next to my ac/in and out disconnect. The current load will still go to the original db box. I will be feeding two DB boxes from the inverter. I am sure I can do it. I am looking to find out if there is a reason why I shouldn't before I do. Thx

Luxpower WIFI issue
Found the problem. Everything sorted. I was using the web browser Safari. It seems it blocked the Luxpower page. Switched to Chrome and completed the proces in a matter of seconds.

Luxpower WIFI issue
Good day. I have a huge issue getting my Luxpower app going. I went through all the hoops and loops. From downloading the app, registering, getting the installers code to installing the dongle onto my inverter. But I am pretty much stuck here. I connect via WIFI to BA41900.... which is my dongle. I then enter 10.10.10.1 into my browser. Sometimes it just hangs there, other times it gives me the option to enter a username and password. I then enter as per instructions the username admin and password admin. Sometimes nothing happens, other times it takes me to some sort of a web site where I am supposed to select the option station mode setting. This is the furthest I have managed to come. Any advice please. I have been going through these steps for two days straight with the same result.

Mecer SOL-I-AX-3MPLUS24 with Hubble AM-4 Lithium
Sort of the same setup. Different inverter but also 3kva and Axpert type. Hubble webpage indicated the same settings for mine. I however changed it to "Li" not user and also changed to 29v Bulk, 29v Float and 23.8 cut off. Was also wondering if that was correct.

Lithium batteries to go with Axpert 3KW 24v unit
I was in the same predicament as you, and had to make the exact same decision. Pylontec UP2500 was on my list along with the Hubble AM-4. I pulled the trigger on the Hubble instead. The Hubble came in a couple of bucks cheaper than the Pylon, and it feels for me currently as if Hubble has become the go-to. Will be installing tonight. I have a 3kva Axpert type inverter, it came with Ecco gel batteries that did not last two months.
