Jay,
Are they going to be doing a lot of boondocking? Run-in A/C off grid??
What size battery bank will they use? If you need to have the most watts
possible, I suggest using the LG Neons or some other power dense module. As
Jeff suggests, a ladder rack frame that mounts to the drip edge is a
Hi Jay,
I would questions the assumption that a flexible module is called for
for an RV.
I've had 600 Watts of traditional framed modules on my Sprinter Van for
10 yrs now. These are the 1.5" frames (Panasonic HIP195BA3). I
installed 4 rails (prosolar rail) to support the 3 modules the
I have about 250 kW of 10 year old, recently removed Unisolar 144s and
68s and think Larry is correct. We're testing it for re-sale and most
seem fine after a decade of weathering. The only failures were ones
placed in areas of the roof prone to ponding. Removing the panels and

Ray,
Thinking of light weight PV modules reminds me that Uni-Solar is gone. Still
the highest performance module I have ever tested. Being light weight and
unbreakable was the icing on the cake if you had the real estate needed due to
efficiency. My hat is still off to the brilliant inventor
"But the transformers are dedicated to the dc voltage and are not
interchangeable between the 12, 24, and 48 volt inverters. The turn ratios are
different."
This is valuable information Lones... thank you for stepping in and clarifying
this.

We had one last year with a bad relay, the customer had been charging a
Tesla EV through it (pass through from the grid) and smoked the relay.
It was pretty obvious, the clear relay cover was all covered on the
inside with burnt relay bits and smoke coating.

Hugh,
I have one at my guest cabin doing the same thing except that the meter
on the mate says I have 119 vac but nothing at the AC Out terminal. I
think Kent might be right that it may be the AC output relay. It is odd
though that there is no error message in your case. This inverter had

They have a laminate product that may be what you are looking for has more
power then the old unipolar laminate did

I 2nd Larry's experience. I've never seen any flex modules that have
held up for more than a few years. Complete degradation in our high
altitude UV environment. Glass with monocrystalline cells on the other
hand: we still see some bronzed out Arco (before Siemens) modules that
are over 30
Hi Jay,
We sold/installed flexible modules from various manufacturers for about 5
years. When permanently installed, most have a fast degradation of the PET
encapsulate leading to blotching, peeling, cracking and pitting. The weight
savings is significant and may be worth using for some as
Hello All
I will try to answer the original question then address the added concerns.
Question
Can I use an original Mate (rather than a Mate3) to set up basic programming
with a R series inverter, such as charger and LBCO settings?
No the FXRs require a Mate3(s) for programming.
Question
Can

sensor, rather an internal temperature sensor. The Outback inverters
typically will run normally even with this temp sensor not working. I
believe it is related to temperature of one of the boards and relates to

Hugh,
I've seen these symptoms before. The problem was a failed output relay
on the ac board.

I bought some from Iron Edison a few years ago. They were going to be mounted
on the front radius of a fish house but the people sold the fish house due to a
job move so I never installed them. Can’t tell ya much else about them. Here is

Hi Wrenches,

I have an Outback VFX that I used for my own home from 2006-2018. It’s a 50Hz

So is it that the control board and FET board are voltage specific,
control board also grid tie or off grid specific, AC board common to all

I wrote to Allan off list, but will mention my suggestion here for others too.
Outback still makes and sells the 3 circuit boards for the FX series of
inverters (i just bought a spare set for our GVFX3648 for ~$800.00).
Changing 2 of the 3 cards would make this into a 48 volt inverter. The
Alan,
It appears to me that everyone miss read your question. If your customer
does not need a generator, then his solar charge controller needs to be
able to be set up for the lithium battery voltage settings. So the
inverter simply needs to be 48 volts and has nothing to do with charging
