    MPP-SOLAR LV6548

    I still don’t see a way in either the manual, spec sheet or LV6548 software (watchpower, phone app) to set any “rate-shifting” settings... ie: charge batteries only certain off-peak time periods. Web site states “Timer control on AC output and charging” Page 32 of the “SolarPower” software...

    >>> Battery Management with MPP Hardware and Third-Party BMS

    Still looking for advice/comments on above.... But, it looks like ICC software can act as middleware between certain MPP units and several BMS systems as described here: https://iccsoftware.co.za/

    >>> Battery Management with MPP Hardware and Third-Party BMS

    Cross-Post from "All-In-One-Systems" Can Anyone Confirm The following on the (USA low Voltage) MPP LV5048 Model: 1) Does BATTERY EQUALIZATION actually work? -- I See "Equalization Paramaters" 33-37 in the manual's "setting" description area, page 20 http://www.mppsolar.com/manual/SPLIT PHASE...

    >>> TimeShifting an MPP LV5048

    Just to close out this thread: I know it may seem obvious/trivial-- The "SolarPower" software package will NOT monitor/control the LV5048. Only the "WatchPower" package seems to be available for the LV5048. There is limited subset of settable parameters in the "WatchPower" software. Compare...

    mpp lv 5kva-48v not charging from grid

    THNX. Just to wrap-up this off topic bit about the software: The "SolarPower" software package will NOT monitor/control the LV5048. Only the "WatchPower" package seems to be available for the LV5048. I know it may seem obvious/trivial-- But there is limited subset of settable parameters in...

    mpp lv 5kva-48v not charging from grid

    Hi.. Thnx. Sorry, this is a bit off topic.... Perhaps Im not being clear enough. Im not interested in the firmware version. I just want to know what software is shipping with the unit. In other words: What CD(s) came with the unit-- Does the label on the CD that came with the unit say...

    mpp lv 5kva-48v not charging from grid

    Can anyone on this thread confirm which software package(s) the LV5048 comes with? Thats the non-hybrid unit, as described in the first post in this thread. Does the unit come with the SolarPower software package? -or- Only the WatchPower software package? -or- Perhaps both? Thnx.

    >>> TimeShifting an MPP LV5048

    So I think it is still unclear whether the 5048 model has a time/cost-shifting setting in the shipping software. I have seen ads on eBay (4/2020) for the 5048 which seem to show that the "SolarPower" software application DOES ship with the latest production units. If this is the case, then the...

    MPP Solar LV2424 kicks butt!!!

    Erik-- Can you PLEASE confirm the following on the LV2424 unit...thnx. There seems to be two different software packages for the All-In-One MPP units: 1) LV5048 -- WatchPower software 2) LV2424 -- SolarPower software As I glance at both manuals-- They are a bit different and several...

    >>> Time Shifting an MPP LV2424

    Cross post for LV2424 users eyes, thnx. There seems to be two different software packages for the MPP units: 1) LV5048 -- WatchPower software -- Looks like there are no Time Shifting Settings 2) LV2424 -- SolarPower software -- "Off-Peak Duration" parameter setting The online documentation is...
