My system was upgraded by Luxpower to the newest firmware. It is 11:26 AM and everything seems to be working great: They seem to be "kicking ass" in the words of jjfmetal123. The Luxpower 12K installed either as a single inverter or as parallel inverters provides excellent performance. I am...

One nice thing about the Solar Assistant software is that it provides a second opinion. When Luxpower software indicates that my inverters are not working, which happens frequently. I use to panic and go outside and check both inverters. Now I can simply check Solar Assistant instead and...

Luxpower Tek has an informative website with product, news, support, download and contact us. This same link also have a step by step installation video for a Luxpower Tek hybrid inverter. Under product, there is a link about the new LXP 12K Hybrid Inverter...

Today, I had my first power outage. My alarm at the inverters went off. I checked the Luxpower software and it showed no power outage. I assumed that the alarm was from a momentarily loss of power and doesn't automatically reset. I manually reset the alarm several times, but the alarm would...

I have recently installed (2) Luxpower 12K hybrid inverters in parallel with 28.6KW solar panels in 6 strings and (2) 52V 14.3KW 280Ah lithium batteries in parallel. My system now seems to be working flawlessly as I want. Luxpower have established support in USA with offices in California...

I was curious how much the batteries would discharge naturally by themselves. This morning I checked the system at 6AM and the batteries had discharged overnight from SOC=100% to SOC=93%. I manually turned off "charge first" and at 6:15AM, the system was using solar and batteries for...

For me, the better choice would be Sol-Ark 15K, because it has a 200 amp bypass for on grid, which is most of the time. The 8 K has a 63 amp bypass for on grid and (2) in parallel is 126 amp. The Sol-Ark 15K has wiring schematic and is listed by the manufacturer as whole house backup. The...

Is there anymore information about these GSL hybrid inverters being able to parallel with another GSL hybrid inverters? Whenever I ask Nick Pan about these inverters being able to parallel, the answer is that the firmware is being updated this week. I have waiting now over two weeks for my...

Like you I bought (2) 12K Luxpower hybrid inverters and (2) GSL 51V 14.3K 280Ah batteries. Unlike you, I am using 28.8K of solar panels without a generator. Last week all the equipment was installed and the system is up and running on solar and connected the grid with whole house backup...

The monitor menu is now showing production/consumption from both LUX-12K hybrid inverters. The snapshot was taken at 1PM and provides an excellent graphic display of the production/consumption from both inverters. Also below the graphics is a table showing the production/consumption from each...

Thanks for sharing, I had not seen the video. I really like the upgrades especially the added breakers and improved access panel. I definitely like the new units better than the older units. With that said, I still do not regret my decision to buy 2 older units for less than the cost of one...

GSL advertise 10% deposit and 15 days delivery, but I was told 100% and 30 days delivery, but took over 60 days for delivery. Delivery means FOB onto a ship in China...

Your charge current limit (Adc) to 100A make sense based on the specification charge time, which is 2.5 hours. 100A x 2.5h = 250Ah which is 90% of the battery rated capacity of 280Ah. If I use the specification for maximum continuous charge rate, then 250Ah / 150A = 1.7h too fast per GSL...

I feel better knowing that the issues so far are limited to only paralleling inverters, generator connection, AC coupling, BMS, and accurate readings.;)

I considered the 6548 inverter about 8 months ago, because it was advertising itself as a whole house backup system. When I read the manual, it required a 40A breaker in front of the inverter and (2) 5KW batteries for every inverter. If you only used one inverter and two batteries, you are...

A little over 3 years ago I installed a 15KW grid-tie system. I didn't opt for the hybrid inverters for several reason. At the time they were only rated for a critical load panel and not for whole house backup. Unless I bought both the hybrid inverters and the batteries, they would only act...

I bought (2) 14.31 KW Powerwall batteries from GSL at $3860 each early January. Paid in full promised batteries mid February, but not ready until mid-March, which is when I had hoped to receive the shipment. After the delay, I should had received shipment mid-April, but GSL has managed to...

You and fromport are right. Sorry that it took me so long to realize it and stop focusing on the negative posts. The GSL inverters are actually programmed to do exactly what I'm trying to do without an additional automatic transfer switch. When there is no power outage, the bypass relay is...

I can easily understand your frustration and it is justified. However, anyone that has installed 25 MPP Solar inverters would have more knowledge and experience than the normal support person answering phone calls. Generally, a support person is someone that has read the manual and sometimes...

Sun in Lithium was right that I was referring to lvx6048 not 6548. I may have confused the model number, but the information of why I didn't buy the inverter is still valid: I have attached the full manual in case you doubt the source or the comment about 2 batteries per inverter. I have no...

I agree great news about AC couple connected to GEN port and being able to export to the grid. No need to wait on GSL anymore. Early today, I met with the solar contractor that install my GT system. He seemed familiar with the GSL Energy brand and feel that they make both good batteries and...

Eddie told me that if I click on the values under Solar Yield, Battery Charge and Feed-in Energy that I get additional information. Grid will toggle between import and export, Battery will toggle between Discharge and Charge, and Solar Yield provides additional information. I had no idea...

My whole house is connected to the 2 hybrid inverters. I have no electrical panels for nonessential loads. Today is the first day that Solar Assistant seems to be working. I have no previous experience with Solar Assistant and I am not able to answer your question. Someone else needs to...

I setup the Sonoff device and connected it to the generator control circuit When the battery SOC drops to 80%, the generator control circuit closes and activates the Sonoff device. The Sonoff device switches on the receptacle outlets and a 24/7 Nite Lite turns from beige (off) to blue (on)...

Excellent insight!!! My existing system is Fronius, so I don't have that problem. However, I'm getting ready to change from GT inverters to a hybrid inverter and the Sol-Ark 15 seems to be my best choice. Looks like I'm going to share your concerns in order to changeover to a hybrid system...

Good to know that Solar Assistant works with GSL/LuxPower. According to Solar Assistant home page on inverters supported, GSL/LuxPower inverters are not listed. None of their battery cables or inverter cables are listed to work with GSL/LuxPower on their website. Previously, I had assumed...

Since I have (2) GSL inverters, I will need to chose parallel not AC coupling. My original intent was not to replace the existing (3) GT inverters, but AC couple to the new (2) GSL inverters. The location that I had selected, unfortunately have gas piping running from within the storage...

I agree you only need to fuse the red wire. From your description it sounds like you are simply adding a breaker for each battery separately. I also bought 2 GSL wall mounted batteries and each of my batteries already have a breaker on the battery. I suspect that your batteries also have a...

No batteries, I decided not to AC couple. Once the hybrid inverters are able to provide me emergency power in the sun, I will add (2) 10 KW 200AH power wall batteries. If all is good, I will add another (2) 10 KW 200AH power wall batteries for a total 800AH. I'm not living off-grid, so the...

I went to the Sol-Ark Library and found the Battery Integration Guide with a list of 20 compatible batteries. Here is a link to the publication: https://www.sol-ark.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Battery-Communications-Integration-Guide-V2.8-1.pdf The list is dated 09 AUG 22, so it is a...
