Can anyone make any suggestions on who to send two Axpert 5Kva main boards to - for repairs please?

Try speaking to Avi at Solar Solved Cape, he imports container loads of them, and get x qty replacement parts with them, but not sure if he will do repairs other supplier products...worth a try tho.

Thanks 

I can give thumbs up for Solar Solved. They are really help full. Just stay away from Voltronic Cape, they are useless. Sorry. I send mine into them, ask me R862 just to tell me it will cost me R4000 plus excl vat to TRY repair it, took it back and I check to see if the even remove the board that they didn't even removed because the stuff was marked. I spotted a place up in JHB that do repairs to. 

If you can maybe pop in by a local solar place, they can maybe give you old boards that was taken out where you can get parts of. That's what i'm busy with mine now.

Good morning again everyone

In the last few days, some hard lessons have been learnt .

I'm not out to knock the Axpert inverter, as when it works, it works. And as I expected from the beginning these inverters would be a hassle when they did eventually pack up. I did not expect I'd have to toss them out completely. They are incompatible with the newer version modern firmware version (4.3).

1) Axpert inverters are not backed up after the warranty period.

2) The replacement main board is not far off the cost of an entire unit

Hey, you can buy three of these for the cost of the next best thing (or that is what people always tell me).
