What happened to the Vestwoods 8K Inverter?

It may be able to operate without batteries but my guess is you would need one to make any progress with the software and just get it set up. Just seems like the unit is too finicky to know what to do without a battery connection. Hopefully not though. What issues are you having with the firmware?
So unfortunately the only way to get it to output to the loads was to have a battery hooked up. Seems to be working some of the time now but there are 2 issues that Signature Solar is still trying to figure out. 1) The over voltage (70) alarm keeps going off whenever the Grid voltage exceeds 250vac with no way to change the alarm trip value. This is happening because I have a lot of Enphase Microinverters at my house that are producing some 20kw of power and they increase the voltage to get the loads to prefer them over the grid. 2) The unit is setup for Self Consumption but 90% of the time keeps pulling from the grid even though the battery is fully charged, regardless of the load applied.
