After posting links to MPP manuals, and experiencing dead links every few months, I uploaded the manuals directly to my website: https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/all-in-one-solar-power-packages1.html

I am also attaching the most common PIP LV model manuals to this post. If I were you, I would download them and keep them somewhere safe on your computer. It is very frustrating to find these manuals at times.

If you are using a hybrid or not commonly used model (like a tiny 48v model), you can find the manual in their database: http://www.mppsolar.com/manual/

@Will Prowse

Ref the MPP solar LV5048 split solar.

Page 29 of the manual says standby power consumption of <23W.

Didn't you review a 48V 5KW version ?

If so, what is the Zero power load ? ie. switched on with no loads connected. I would appreciate if you can obtain that figure.

Regards.

Hi Will,

I watched your videos and went through with the detailed info. of the MPP Solar Inverter PIR-MG/MS series. I found that in the section of solar charger, the maximum charging current/power (5048MG) is 80A/4500W, and the system DC voltage is 48V.
As I read your book and found that to guarantee that we don't exceed the charge controller's abilities, relate the controller's limitations based on its output current and the battery bank voltage, so 48*80=3840W, much less than 4500W?

Thank you for your time!
Harvey

The 1KVA-5KVA manual is out of date; it is Version 1.0
The latest Version is 1.3 (I believe); I will try and attach it here.

I understand your busy, I copied your install and grew it, Is there some specific reason on a all in one, you added a solar charge controller, and then deleted it on your new growatt system? 24v to 48v might be a reason, but what was the controller their in the first place?

I don't know if anyone else is running this model (PIP-LV-MR 3K) but here is the manual as well. I just received mine and will be installing it in my Sprinter

I hope it can be fixed. I ownder if MPP Solar even trying to fix the problem.
 
Thanks for the manuals, but there is one unanswered question than none of the manuals address.
Can the unit be mounted outside?
From the installation part of the manual.

Mounting the Unit Consider the following points before selecting where to install:
 Do not mount the inverter on flammable construction materials.
 Mount on a solid surface
 Install this inverter at eye level in order to allow the LCD display to be read at all times.
 The ambient temperature should be between 0°C and 55°C to ensure optimal operation.
 The recommended installation position is to be adhered to the wall vertically.
 Be sure to keep other objects and surfaces as shown in the right diagram to guarantee sufficient heat dissipation and to have enough space for removing wires. SUITABLE FOR MOUNTING ON CONCRETE OR OTHER NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE ONLY.

The only hint is that the ambient temperature should not be below 0°C. Doesn't say it won't work, just that it's not optimum.

Yes

But these are NOT WEATHERPROOF. If you are in a place that gets WET, it will probably get killed. These ARE NOT all-weather units. There is nothing protecting the connections from moisture.

Odd that they don't mention it anywhere in the installation manual.:confused:

Midnite Solar
"• The Charge Controller is designed for indoor installation or installation inside a weatherproof enclosure. It must not be exposed to rain and should be installed out of direct sunlight."
Renogy
"The charge controller should ideally be located in an area relatively close to the battery and should be mounted indoors in a dry location."
Outback
"The MX60 PV MPPT Charge Controller is for indoor use only"
And my Ford Taurus manual warns about driving into water, including lakes.

Will... I have watched many of your videos on the All-In-One systems before buying the PIP 2424LV-MSD. I am trying to install a PIP 2424LV-MSD and it keeps tripping my breaker. At one point I say a error code "04" which I think indicates low battery voltage. My voltage was 26.9V. the it went to a code "53" which says inverter failed to start. Ant ideas as to what might be happening?
 
Is there an auto transfer switch that I can use in place of the MPP all in one? I already have a Victron AC charger for my 2 Battleborn 100AH batteries and an Aims pure sine wave inventor. I am using my system as a on grid back up for work from home office and would like to use my battery backup system as a UPS for my desktop pc and dual monitor setup that pulls about 210watts consistently all day just in case the grid goes down while I am working to keep me up and running for the day or more depending on how long the 200AHours of batteries will keep me running.
 
hi everybody,

right now I am looking at the Growatt 24V SPF 3000TL LVM vs. the MPP PIP 2724LV-MR 24V, don't care about the price and 2.7 or 3 kw will work for me. I will have 425 watts of solar and 2 x 100 ah sok lifepo batteries....any opinions???? I want ease of use and reliability. (like most people I suppose!)

Thank you for the post Will and for your informative videos on youtube. I am looking for an in depth MegaRevo 8k hybrid inverter manual. I am looking for something with details. The one that comes with the unit does not discuss all the features and how to configure. I believe that this inverter is similar ir not idential to the BlueSun.
 
okay..long time to re-post..I installed the MPP PIP 2724LV-Mr 24V...so far so good. after 6 months here are my thoughts:

I have 2 SOK 12 volts, Victron smart shunt. 425 watt single panel. On my first road trip, all was good. We used electricity for making coffee and cooking (Ikea induction hotplate) which pulled up to 1800 watts at a time. After about an hour of boiling water and frying veggies the batteries were down to about %70...by 9 AM the next morning we were %100 charged. so pretty happy with that. Around day 8, in the middle of the night the alarm on the charger starting ringing and the shunt indicated Midpoint Voltage Deviation of %2...so I just shut the charger off. In the morning I plugged into the shore power and that started to reset or recharge. After this trip and some investigation I installed the Balancer from watts247..He mentions that this is required for multi battery set ups. (Note: my batteries were perfectly balanced before I installed them). I am happy with the MPP unit, but there are a lot of parameters in the settings and SOK doesn't provide an answer to many of them.
 
Happy Holidays All,
In Will's Video he states no fuse is needed because the battery has a BMS of its own?
Will also shows no circuit breaker with the AC connection and the MPP Manual states that the unit is protected (see #11 item in description of manual layout)?
But then the manual states that a breaker/fuse should be installed ahead of the DC Positive and the AC input, in the connection/installation sections??
Its Christmas Time and I'm asking Santa or Will or Anyone,
PLEASE HELP!
 
If it's a single battery you can use the built-in fuse if it's DC rated. If you have multiple batteries you need to use a t class fuse to protect the conductor that supplies the system or bus bar. I would stick to the blueprint on my main website.

It looks like Will had updated the diagram showing the fuse on the battery.
The MPP has the circuit breaker for the AC input, it is located on the bottom left of the unit.
For AC output, it should have circuit breaker as well.
