I'd rather not pair such an old inverter with a "new" one, and highly doubtful I'd find the same exact same model to do so. Space is also a limiting factor as I cannot fit two side by side with appropriate spacings between. Is your advice based on any inherent problems with the Kodak?

So I've been running with my RCT Axpert MKS-5000 for at least 7 years now. I've been thinking of a slight upgrade to basically allow installation of more panels, get some more available kW for running the house, and some QoL features wouldn't go amiss. I saw the Kodak 6.2kW (OG-PLUS6.2) on the PowerStore which I think fits the bill. Anyone have any experience with these? Are they basically just fancier newer Axperts, or are they different animals entirely? Any feedback would be appreciated.

I'm interested in what field you're studying? And also, done.

Aaah, saw that section in the manual, but couldn't see those options in the menu setup pages. I didn't want to enable hybrid mode as it looked like it was for grid export, at least according to the confusing screenshots and lack of wording. Will investigate. However, without going into that section it seems to be doing what I want by working with some of the main menu options. Not sure why the bms charge limit is at 0, was set to 70.

I recently installed a LuxPower SNA5000 and 2 Pylontech US3000C batteries for my father-in-law, and it's been functioning great. This week we added 4kW of PV, but for the life of me, I can't get the inverter to use solar as first priority, then battery and then only grid if the first two are not available. I'm used to a RCT Axpert MKS inverter which allows this, but this Luxpower has me stumped. Anyone out there with a similar setup and running it like I want to, able to share their settings? Thanks in advance.

I've just upgraded my battery bank 2 Pylontech US3000B's with additional 2 US3000C batteries. My existing 2 batteries had been in use for nearly 3 years now with about 550 cycles on them. Now when I check in ICC, the cycles on all 4 batteries is showing as zero. Is this normal?

Who is your email provider/ISP? This type of scam happened to my father last year, and my suspicion is that it's an inside job at the ISP.

Looks like we've found a USB module. Hopefully it's the correct one.

I was online with Johan, the developer of SMH when we tried, and no luck. I'll chat with him more about using my system as a guinea pig if he can add RJ45 serial as a connection option.

Mine has a RJ45 port and I also have a RJ45 -> Serial cable. However, this setup is NOT compatible with SMH, so rather than buy a new inverter, I'm looking for the USB module which comes on the later inverters.

Thanks guys, but that is not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for the actual USB interface board which installs into the inverter replacing the RG45 RS232 board.

Hi 87, Please provide a link to the USB interface on Takealot? My searching skills don't seem to be able to find any.

I've just sat with Johan to upgrade my installation of ICC to SMH, and unfortunately my inverter still uses the old skool serial interface. Does anyone know where I can source (locally hopefully) a USB module to work on my inverter?

So there I was busy working from home, and the power just went out. Go check the two DBs and nothing is tripped on either, but there is a distinct burnt smell. Inverter showing error 56 (battery circuit open), so I pop open the fuse box, and the negative is tripped. I open up the fuse holder and see the 100A is blown. No high loads were happening at the time. Batteries were charging, normally by what I see in ICC, so I'm stumped as to what happened. For the time being I've turned off the batteries and inverter, and running purely on grid, but before I go off and get a new fuse and fuse holder, I'd love it if anyone can give insight into what might have happened. From what I can see, both batteries appear fine, as does the inverter, but I won't know till they are connected again, although ICC reported them as healthy so I'm hopeful.

Thanks all. Looking back through the history, it's tripped 4 times, 42A, 49A, 26A, and yesterday at 27A. Not a great record for one month. Definitely looking like it's faulty. Breaker is warm to the touch when I've been there to catch it. Going to play it safe and replace the breaker, and the wiring for that section.
