Wrenches, Like myself, I imagine many folks on this list were avid readers of "Home Power" and "SolarPro" magazines. I know some of you were even active contributors to these two wonderful publications. Is anyone aware of any similar resources - geared toward system designers/installers/technicia

When I did my cable swap and reconfiguration that fixed it I also was more careful to route the xanbus cables away from the batter/inverter cables - thinking that perhaps induction was the culprit.  As I have an rj45 crimp tool and some shielded CAT5e in the truck I think I'll just make up my o

I tried swapping the cables for the XW and MPPT. After reboot the XW continued to show up on the SCP but the MPPT did not. I didn't have another cable, but this suggests the cable is not the problem. I didn't think to change the order, however. On Thu, Apr 16, 2020 at 5:57 PM Jeff Clearwater w

I am working with a client (not my install) with a XW6048 and MPPT 80 600 with a SCP. The SCP is not showing the MPPT in the setup menu. I am able to access the system settings and XW configuration, but not the MPPT settings. It is connected via Xanbus in this manner: SCP -> MPPT -> XW So the MPP
