    Anyone have experience with MPP Sub mode? Solar then Grid no Batteries

    On a side note after multiple attempts to setup the built in wifi I was unable to do so. I wonder if the firmware flash at the factory is bad?

    Anyone have experience with MPP Sub mode? Solar then Grid no Batteries

    Just to be clear the reading from the connectors that are attached to the array is 204V. While that was disconnected from the inverter I took a reading from the MP4 connectors attached to the AIO. That reading was 29V.

    Anyone have experience with MPP Sub mode? Solar then Grid no Batteries

    oops sorry about that. Yes according to the forum some users said my LV6548V will operate in SOB mode which will allow batteryless operation. Youtube Video of batteryless mode, The above unit is LV6048. a DMM reading of PV voltages at the PV connection terminals of your AIO would be a good...

    Anyone have experience with MPP Sub mode? Solar then Grid no Batteries

    I dont want to rely on battery power. Is there a minimalist battery I can use (cheap) just to run the inverter off Solar and then Grid Backup?

    Anyone have experience with MPP Sub mode? Solar then Grid no Batteries

    I turned off AC power and the inverter turned off. I took a reading with my multimeter from the PV array DC Isolator output and its 204.5 volts 6P2S is my array setup. Bad Connectors in the PV input on the inverter? I just tested the cables from the PV array isolator and the cables read 203.5 V

    DC Volt reading from 6 panels, is it accurate?

    I was also worried I had shorted something or that the connectors were faulty /bad. good to know it was just that I dont know how to read a solar panel power diagram :( Good to know. I try to not ever work on live wires but was wearing gloves with an abundance of paranoia.

    DC Volt reading from 6 panels, is it accurate?

    I was under the impression under load was when I was pulling power from the power source. Like a motor running on AC power. Ex: when the motor is running its under load. So does this mean that a solar power in the sun is considered under load? I know there is power is available when the sun...
