Ohh that’s sweet!Today I noticed that you can get solar capture data from the front panel.
It has data for Today, Week, Month, and the Year.

Each LV6548 is a single phase.Question: I was considering a pair of LV6548 s but since they are 120v each if one goes down you do not have 240v capability. A pair of LV6048 s are both split phase and the main differences I can see are the size and weight and 1,000 watt less max continuous power. Total price is similar.
Did you (those that bought or considered pair of lv6548 s ) look at this option or was the LV6048 not available? What other differences if any are there ?
Yes I am aware of that but a pair of lv6048 s are both split phase so if one goes out you still have 240 v split phase.Each LV6548 is a single phase.
It is 120Vac +- 5% per phase. 60Hz or 50 Hz
It works in Single Phase, Parallel, Split Phase, or 3-Phase. and pretty much any combination of the three, up to six can be set to work together.
Did you mean the 5048’s?Yes I am aware of that but a pair of lv6048 s are both split phase so if one goes out you still have 240 v split phase.
My bad I thought you wrote 6548's lol.No I mean the new model MPP LV 6048 here is a link to bay offering

The only thing I see new on the LV6048 is that it has 6kW output AC, but LESS MPPT range (60-110VDC).Yes I am aware of that but a pair of lv6048 s are both split phase so if one goes out you still have 240 v split phase.

Honestly, I don't see the point of it. I would bet that the 6048 is actually two LV3024s inside one box, just like the LV5048 with 2xLV2424s in one box. If you are thinking these are redundant and can keep going if one fails, you will be sad. They are not redundant when installed. They are one unit. If one fails, it all turns off. You would have to disconnect and reconfigure it all to switch to single unit operation.
I went from LV5048 to LV6548 primarily for the much higher voltage MPPT. I have already realized a significant boost in PV capture efficiency just due to doubling the DC Voltage from the PV.
And back to the LV6548 info:
I am seeing about 60 watts, idle with two in 240V split.
One at ~23 W and one at ~36

On a side note...
I blasted my car EVSE with 7.6 kW of battery during the day off-grid.
It only pulled 164 amps out of the 48V battery. ? (And no, my off-grid solar could not keep up!)

Back down to a reasonable 10 amp EVSE charge, gives a ~47 amp draw on the batteries.

My PV array is not yet rewired for this, it is still in 2 times 2s3p configuration. So what happens when you take 2s3p and make two strings into one? You get a 4s3p configuration, a 60V string becomes 120V. Same 12 panels, just one silly long string.

My solar array is not at all optimized for my latitude, it is at about a 5° incline, and should be about 38°. So I am really missing out on a lot of daily Sun because of the roof of my utility room. It's OK though because usually on clear days, the battery bank is fully charged by 10:00 AM, even in the middle of winter like it is now.
Can you please tell me what version of WatchPower you are running? Thanks.The only thing I see new on the LV6048 is that it has 6kW output AC, but LESS MPPT range (60-110VDC).

Only when the sun shines on it at 1000 w/m².I’m planing on getting 20 400w panels but I’m wondering if the LV6548 18A limit per PV input is gonna be an issue. Here is the specs for the panel.
Pmax 400W
Vmp 40.8V
Imp 9.81A
Voc 48.6V
Isc 10.33A
They would be configured in 4S2P.
So you’re saying I should do 5 in series even tho the VOC would be very close to 250V at 243V? The good thing is that it doesn’t get cold in Jamaica.Only when the sun shines on it at 1000 w/m².
DON"T think that it is impossible for it to happen, I bought a weather station with a light sensor just to know. https://ambientweather.com/amws2902.html
Several times last summer it was well over 1000 w/m². I saw my "1800" watt strings do 2200 watts at least a dozen times.
Keep it simple, 4 strings of 5.
The cable is very cheap. https://mwands.com/solar-pv-cable-8-awg-by-the-foot.
The disk that came with my PIP-1012LV-MK (made on Nov 2020) that I received this month has 1.13SP7. I check on; line and on MPP SOLAR website and WATT24/7 are SP9. Right now when I try to set BYPASS FUCNTION using WatchPower, it keeps defaulting back to FORBIDDEN, but I can set what I want using the front panell button, ame issue with Operation Logic Setting.1.13SP10
It is what came with the LV6548
