Did you ever get a solution to this? Do I need th LV-HUB? I have 1 bank with 4 us3000c in them. And one new Bank of 4 just arrived, but not installed yet Problem is that cables are rated to 120A that feed the Breakers / isolaters First bank feeding the breakers / isolaters Do I need to set my second bank also direct to Breakers to avoid an overload of 120A on the long cables to the breakers and short ones between the 4 batteries. Then how would ICC communicate to the second set of batteries as the Pylontech cable is connected to the first bank console port?

Seems you can connect 2 of these together to get double the power according thier web site, but at 18k a pop, that is not feasable...

Thanks all for your input so far. So what I am hearing is that a "noname" Ardendorf should work if I set the Inverters to Appliance Mode? I will try again today and see if that works. IF not, I guess its a Yamaha or Honda

Hi Members, I have had a revamp on my system recently and want to connect a generator to the Inverters to charge Batteries on Cloudy / rainy days when needed. But my inverters dont pick up the the fong kong 7.5Kw Gennie I have. My Installer has same Inverters and has a Yamaha Generator that works. But want to make sure I have all options as It is an expensive purchase if does not work. I also have Ardendorf 3ph 12KVA on a by pass switch, but this thing is so noisy. Also not sure if I can hook it up to system. Each phase is only 3kw though Does anyone have a proven generator working when needed? 3 X MPP Solar 5Kw V Series (Infini V Cluster on ICC) 4 X Pylontech 3000c (Soon to be another 4) 12Kw in Panels.

I know right? I did not expect that at all... Thought I would have to buy the new stuff and Sell out of hand the batteries and Inverters I have

Thank All for the Replies and Info... Supplier is going to take back the 3 axperts and supply 2 X Solis 3.6kw with limiters and wifi etc. Need to rewire the 7kw array into 2 strings in series.

Nope, Only one... Thanks!

I seem to have the Dual MPPT version of the 5kva... but it is running Version 52... HOw do I tell for sure? ICC reports MPPT1 and MPPT2 I cannot seem to get it to pull enough power from the 7k array... It should be good to patch to 75.31?

Dont care for sending back to the grid, Also, I am sure its not available here yet. I just want to use my power on my house. and go to grid at night where I use much less. Would Above Inverters need to send back to Grid?

Ok So that did not work !! Bought a small set of royal batteries just to get these 3 Axperts to pull power from the panels (As my previous bank was end of life).... But alas, It seems everything needs to go through the batteries irrespective. So its pulled them flat twice already today... I need another Solution from the Gurus please... True Grid Tie, No Batteries... I want to pull Maximum power from 7kw array during day and move to Grid seamlessy at night or low solar power... Needs to take Generator for Power Outages. hich are few and far between Thoughts please ? 3 brand new, just installed 04 APR 2018 Axpert 5kw Inverters for sale

I like this idea as option 1... Where Can I find a Load Tester, short of me removing all 8 Batteries and taking to my local Battery Centre.

could I get by with getting a small bank of say 4 X 105AH for now? Would that then allow Solar to provide the load (like it used to)

I dont mind running at night on Utility as my load is minimal at night. I am trying to get my high day time load fully supplied by Solar if possible. Pool Pump, Heat Pump, Borehole pump, PRessure Pump, ashine machine etc. (If I run on Utility I could pay R1000 a week... if I switch to inverters / SBU then I come down to R600 a week.) But now since we replaced the 2 "blown" inverters last week, I cannot seem to get Solar to kick in well and supply the load... (Due to the batteries I think that are poked)

Hi there Probably a stupid question as I think I know the answer already. Can these Inverters run with no batteries and only on Panels and switch to Utility when when needed? I pulled the fuses to the battery bank and they just fault. My Batteries need replacing but dont have 50 or 60 k right now
