Chargeverter Availability? (Early 2024)

Detritalgeo · Feb 12, 2024

Hello,

Anyone know where one can find a Chargeverter? Not listed on Sig Solar and none at CC...

Is it on heavy back-order or is it discontinued and a V2 is coming out soon?

Sorry if this is a duplicate, I searched but nothing.

Cheers,

If I was to take a bet I would guess it's because they cannot get any more of those switching power supplies at a good price or they are discontinued.

How about an in-depth description as to why these have disappeared from the Signature Solar website @SignatureSolarJames or @SignatureSolarJess ?

I believe they took it off until they got another shipment in because people were complaining about the shipping delays etc.

They were updating price from 399 to 429 recently so maybe the link is just down temporarily

SS should put "out of stock" and not allow orders.

You can try and build one:

DIY 'Chargenectifier'

Based of the informative info recently posted by @ChrisFullPower in another thread I'm intrigued in DIY'ing a charger from used rectifiers. A quick search on eBay for '48v rectifier' has made me realize it's definitely doable at costs much lower than off the shelf options... I'll start with a...

It's just a matter of supply and demand.
There's not enough supply for the demand.

Can I sell my CV for a profit? Barely used.

We will be reintroducing chargeverters in a new product release, available for pre-sale orders soon!

I hope they added external modbus control and status!

OK thanks... in my setup I cant swap out the LV6548 for the 6KXP until I have a Chargeverter-like device as I don't have a 240V input alternative to PV. hope the price bump isn't too much.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

If the V2 has a couple features I desire, I’ll sell you a V1..

She’s got low miles!

Works for me. I'm no stranger to the used market.
Especially when it's a great product.
Sequels tend to be less than expected.

I can’t complain about mine, I only wish it had provisions for some form of remote control and on/off. I could get creative but would love an integrated solution. It’s been rock solid thus far.

Current ramp-up would be nice.

I get that. But I like things that are simple and just work reliably. The more complicated the system. The more likely it can fail.
