The XW does not have the stacking cables and is a single 6.8kw inverter.
People have trouble with their CSW 4KW. It is too small for split phase. I
tend to think that XW is the most reliable way to go. Less is more! Agree
Drake! I have so many that just have the defaults running offgrid. Not even
the SCP.

It seems that battery based
inverters are not nearly as reliable as they once were. I understand that
the Samlex inverters are pretty bulletproof. They are coming out with a
120/240V split phase to work with a 48V battery bank. I don't know that
these are grid interactive, or if they can be stacked.
We need a
manufacturer to produce something equivalent to the FX series inverters, or
the earlier Radians.
What is the best choice for a grid interactive,
battery based inverter? I tend to lean toward Schneider.

Aloha Wayne, We too have been plagued by this issue, that has been
extremely frustrating for us and our clients. The newest 1.4.6 firmware
is supposed to fix this issue. We have updated our systems with this and so
far so good. However because of the sometimes long delays between the
faults we can't be certain. Prior to this most common fix was replacing
the mate. Also on FP2 we had a couple factory units have the hub jumpers
set for the wrong stacking. I believe they were set for parallel operations
versus series. Strange it would work fine with the jumpers either way for a
long time. But it's worth a check.

Wrenches and Lones,
We have had chronic inverter firmware mismatch issues with FLEXpower TWO
FXR series on many systems. We've updated the firmware and replaced mates,
yet the system failures continue. The systems will work flawlessly for
months and then randomly show error and the firmware mismatch. Occasionally
the system will discover (on its own) that the firmware is the same and
turn back on. But usually, the "solution" is to unplug the mate and plug it
back in and like magic...everything works again anywhere from 3 months to a
year. This is disappointing and frustrating to the system owners as well
as costly and time consuming for us. ANY GUIDANCE IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE
WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
All these systems have been assembled by
Outback. None of them have OpticsRE.
