Sooo, I did my MCU update. Everything went smoothly. No other updates I could see to be done at least on my 6000ex. Basically my leds would flicker a lot when solar was available, specially under a lot of watts so I decided to do the updated. Somebody else pointed out that the new transition...
I agree totally with your last statement. Inverters are advancing dramatically every year. Having something that last at least 5 years, then re-sell and get a newer model has been my plan. I had an eg4 6000ex and decided to upgrade to two 6000xps. The difference is night to day. I could have...
For any person interested, finally managed to get all batteries showing the correct soc on the 6000xp. Doing a fw update on all the LLs v2 batteries resolved the problem.
LFP from SS are guaranteed for more than 6000 cycles which comes close to 17 years cycling them up to 20% DOD. Almost every manufacturer of LFP is close to this life expectancy or even more. If I spend thousands of dollars on batteries which are guaranteed for more than 17 years of continuous...
Hey guys, sorry for the delay. The last 22 fault detected, I could hear what I can describe as (the sound of a short). I was grabbing my head thinking my inverter was toast. I started to realize that it started to fault when it was raining hard. I remebered I had an underground line for some...
Hello,
I'm starting this thread due to seeing a lot of new information for the eg4 6500, but not so much for the 6000ex. Specifically for the new FW updates concerning led flickering fixes. I managed to successfully update the Main CPU and it is showing 63.11 version on the inverter. My...
I just bought a 6000xp and in the process of wiring and installing. Definitely, these kind of random errors are not making me feel confident. If any resolution is found please advise for us starting with this inverter.
I have two 6000xps. One has 16 Philadelphia Solar 445 watts, 8 on each MPPT. 310 / 330v @ 11.5amps equals 3500 watts per MPPT. On rainy days when the sun comes out of a cloud it would get almost to 4000 watts per MPPT. No problems at all. My second 6000xp only has 3 545 watts Boviett Solar...
I already have a 6000xp (very happy with it so far) and bought another one subscribing to the upgrade program and exchanging an old 6000ex to parallel both 6000xps. I do not need grid sell back.
Being an owner of a 6000ex. I would recommend to anyone with a 6500/6000 to get Solar Assistant to manage remotely the inverter and also have SA do the transfer between SBU / SUB during nights or low battery situations. It has work for me flawlessly for the past year. Not to mention the...
There is another new update from the previous release on feb 8th for the 6000ex. Also, now they have an MCU folder update too which was not posted on the feb 8th release. Did them both yesterday and at least I saw 80/90% improvement on flickering when solar charging / solar is feeding the loads...
Forgot to add in my prevoius post I decided to add a Victron 150/35 to move some solar away from my 6000ex for the same reason (heat). Trying to not use the 6000s full SCC to its full power and using the victron to supplement. Currently the 6000ex is charging at 60amp and the victron at 20amps...
Yes, I connected all the RJ cables that came with the LLs into a growatt hub. The main reason I used the growatt hub was because I could not get locally an RS 232 / 485 that did not had any filtering / circuitry inside and that would prevent it to work properly. Basically it has to be a raw hub...
What I did was use solar assistant to do the change over from sbu to sub base on state of charge. Then I wired a 240v grid feed to a 40amp wifi/servo breaker. The breaker can be programed to switch on and off base on scheduled times and also can be switch on/off using the mobile app. To me it...
Well, no 6500 for me but I'm currently running my house on a 6000ex. Apart from the original issues with close loop communication with the battery's communication cable (labeled wrong) and some minor light flickering (does not bother me that much) its been running for one year no issues. I'm...
I do not see how to do it. There is only one folder for the 6000ex and only one app opens. I clicked the update tab and all went fine. The one i did was the InfinityMasterCPU. Not sure if the exe labeled as "hex2000" is the other one. It wont open on my laptop
Can you please state in order what should be the process for the FW update? When I did mine on December the video stated to only do the MCU. Now there are other files and from what I read and if the updates are not done in a sepcific order the screen may black-out.
The only way I could see all my batteries was using the hub on the link quoted. You need to set switches starting at address #2 and up. SA uses address #1 for inverter comunicaction amd will not read any battery set at the #1 address. You will be conecting 1 cable from each rj45 port to the...
If your using the inverter to read battery values you will only see the master battery. Also....SA only starts to work using address 2 and up. Since the inverter uses address 1 for comunication there is no way SA will read the Master Battery. This is one additional reason I decided to use the...
So basically what we are missing is for @SignatureSolarJames or sombody from Sig Solar to say what should we do in relation to the secondary CPU update.
Maybe the secondary CPU is the one responsable for managing / fixing the led flicker and we still cant update it
