Could you tell me what your setting 09 changes from to- on its own? thanksWhen you get the fault 60 do you notice if any of the settings revert to something other than what you had set? Setting 09 in particular.

I was just thinking that it the unit changed the setting it might bring in the fault...Could you tell me what your setting 09 changes from to- on its own? thanks
I'm looking for a capacitor for mine...You guys have so many issues. I am problem free after the cap
Plenty out there. Big box stores seem to only have the 4uf variety, for fans mostly.I'm looking for a capacitor for mine...

So nc73, you are problem free after the capacitor?You guys have so many issues. I am problem free after the cap
Oh no only one. Fixed my heat pump issue. I was going to get another but the parallel issues turned me off. Going to sell it once I get my Eg4's running...if it ever ships.So nc73, you are problem free after the capacitor?
Are you running two lvx6048's in parallel with a capacitor on each of them?
I'm just running one (lvx6048) with the new firmware and haven't had any problems for about a week straight! No faults, no flickering lights, no issues. I've been checking it every morning before I leave for work and every night when I get home. Its been making about 10kWh's a day. I know that's not much, before it was making about 15kWh's a day but it was faulting and giving warnings and flickering lights ect.. I'm happy with it now. I'm still making small adjustments to the battery charging settings to get the most out of the batteries and make the most power, so it is still a work in progress.Oh no only one.

Nice! I'm still getting high of 15k but most of the time I don't have any loads to use it so it just goes to waste. Batteries charge up in a few hours before noon.I'm just running one (lvx6048) with the new firmware and haven't had any problems for about a week straight! No faults, no flickering lights, no issues.

How much power ("energy") are you guys getting out of your LVX6048's?
Homegrown stuff for the inverter... bash scripts to get the data, shoved into an influx db. Grafana to display graphs. I'm using Home assistant to do the automations.wow, thanks!
what program are you using to keep track?
Impressive, beautiful "homegrown stuff"! Thanks for sharing! Are/were you a NASA programmer? What led to you growing your own? Frustration with off-the-shelf products? Many of us are using Solar Assistant on Raspberry Pi, which is quite good but to my eye comes nowhere near what you're producing! Maybe you would consider licensing your PV Use monitoring to Pierre at Solar Assistant?Homegrown stuff for the inverter... bash scripts to get the data, shoved into an influx db.

Here is another good example of wasted power. I try to give it stuff to do, but until I commit to running more circuits and batteries, I'm letting several watts just fall into the grass.

We're fully off-grid and want the capacity to charge our 75kWh electric vehicle, electric golf cart and perhaps a future second EV. This by definition creates a potentially large mismatch between production and demand, especially if we're not driving every day and bringing our EV home thirsty.I see guys on youtuble with 118kwh systems and I wonder what the heck they're running to require that much electricity. Even with 6k it's tough for me to use most of it during summer time. I don't use any oil or gas, all electric.
I am thinking about EV too and that's the main reason for 2 EG4's being ordered. I don't drive much since I work from home so I don't really need more than 6k worth of solar. I can always add more if I find that it is insufficient. I do have grid if I need it but so far I've not had to use it.We're fully off-grid and want the capacity to charge our 75kWh electric vehicle, electric golf cart and perhaps a future second EV.

We're planning to heat our (still-unbuilt) house with a hydronic/radiant floor system based on a heat pump with a large storage tank that will also provide domestic hot water. This, we hope, will provide a more consistent load for our system comprising a 22kW array, four LVX6048 units and 8-12 5kWh batteries (G4LL/EG4).
If we still end up having too much production, we'll use it to feed a bit of heat into our lap pool...
