So the mystery is solved and I finally have all three systems working!!! So many parameter settings on this Schneider system are: Either undocumented as to how they are used. Interact in undocumented ways (e.g. – The breaker amps value for the generator affects how many maximum sell amps you...

Unfortunately, all the information is available on the XANBUS but the MPPT makes no use of it! It could actually get the battery temperature from the BMS that is in the battery. The main issue however, is that the MPPT always thinks it has some sort of non-lithium battery and therefore tries to...

I have installed a Schneider XW Pro Inverter with their MPPT 100 600 charger and Lithium Smart batteries. I have the latest firmware. The unit works great from a performance point of view, seems quite efficient based upon heat it dissipates and is incredible at handling surges! I have a 6 HP 240...

I have the XW Pro and am able to start my 6 HP compressor... it starts without any hesitation! And yes, when you are using Enhanced Grid Support, you will get a seamless mix of power from available sources, DC or Grid to power the house. If you have no desire to sell back to the grid, just make...

According to the release notes for the latest firmware, there are issues with the Enhanced GS. However, the give a "workaround".. which does not work! I am still using closed loop SOC control, however, they still use voltages to do the actual control of how much power they take from the DC bus...

In reply to 400bird... Schneider needs to update the MPPT to actually be smart in the system and communicate properly. Nowhere in the documentation is there an explanation that with LIPO4 batteries the sensor should not be used! And their tech support people say it should be used! I had tried...

No, I did not play with the PLS at all. The intent for my system is to use the batteries only as a means of backup when grid power is down and there is little or no solar.

I don't know why Schneider says in the documentation that the MPPT and Inverter "battery voltages" have to be exactly the same, since by experimentation, I have not found an impact if they are slightly different ??!! I also have slight voltage differences depending on where the voltage is...

They are quite balanced. The issues is the firmware has some bugs related Advance GS... they even say so in the release notes. What I can't believe is that they would release the firmware with this bug! After all, this is a hybrid inverter and most people buying it would probably be interested...

My choice of buying the Schneider XW Pro with MPPT 100 600 charger was based upon the reputation of the hardware reliability. And I have to say that the hardware has been flawless thus far. It still amazes me that the inverter even fires up my 6 HP air compressor which has a locked rotor current...

So I basically got my XW Pro with MPPT 100/600 and eg4 batteries working... sort of! The intent with my system is that I have a minimum of batteries but I am also grid tied. The batteries should only come into play if the grid drops out and there is not enough PV or it is night time. And this...

Just saw this post... Seems like you want to use the internal charger of the XW Pro set to correct parameters for your battery. Enable "Backup mode" Then for the Grid support settings just make sure that Sell Amps = 0. That way you will never sell to the grid. I had set this up exactly like...

OK, I helped a friend of mine setup a xw pro system with a mppt100 and two smart lipo4 batteries. We setup his system same as mine, however, his system draws very little power from the PV (unless it is exporting) and powers the loads mostly from the grid! As usual, the Schneider techs know...

I do not use the charger on the XW Pro so the "Cold" setting makes no difference. Also, I assume that for your battery the float voltage is specified as 54.6 ?? For mine, it is 54 and so that is the value I use. My Grid support SOC is lower at 95% instead of the 99% you have. In my case with 54...

Here are my settings I should add a note to ElectricIslander that my inverter settings are to export up to 15 amps. So between the grid feed and the house loads, I am always using the maximum available from the PV.

Set the temperature to Cold... this is what I had to do. Then for my charger, I have a Temperature Coefficient under the battery setting which I had to set to -70 to get the best function.

The goal of my solar system is as follows: Keep the battery charged and never use it to support the load unless the grid goes down and there is no or insufficient PV. At night, draw power only from the grid. During the day, if PV is low such as clouds… supplement the house from the grid and...

The two batteries together are 200 AH

I have not found SOC control to work properly, and the support techs admit as much. The Schneider hardware seems very good but the software is insane (I am a programmer). Are you happy with your setup now? If not, I could post my settings.... I found voltage control to work well.... but...

WW5M_Bill, good to hear about your experience. I am not familiar with the older Schneider but I like the XW Pro… and I will like it more when they fix the firmware! In my case I only have two EG4-LL batteries which also had firmware issues until recently… but they are working well with the...

Thank you for the picture! That is a perfect visual illustration of talking to Schneider tech support.... after a one hour hold listening to the dadada ding ding ding dadada ding ding ding "music"

There is some software bug on the Inverter side... it knows what mode the charger is in and when it is in Float, that is when the cycling occurs. So the trick of having the Recharge voltage set quite high, tricks the charger to go back to Bulk (after it entered Float) which will then transition...

The inverter XW PRO: More for the MPPT:

Did you ever get this resolved? I went through the same headache and stumbled upon a solution. Let me know if you still need help.

It all depends on the environment, if it is dusty or not. Mine is in the basement and that is relatively dust free so I imagine I will only have to clean it once per year at the most. If you have the mini-pdp then that is no fun to get at! I was thinking that if it is dirty after a year, I may...
