All-in-one MPP System Manuals

[Will Prowse]

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/

Great, Thanks!

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The 1KVA-5KVA manual is out of date; it is Version 1.0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

hi Will can you solve the infamous Premature float bug witch is hunting all the pip inverters firmware
greeting from cloudy Europe

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.

Car owner manuals don't say don't drive lakes either.

 

[NMNeil]

Car owner manuals don't say don't drive lakes either.

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?

 

[jeffeone]

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!)
