Friends: I apologize for not reporting in sooner. As most of you remember, we have seen a few Outback systems with Mate3 controllers experience apparent self-reprogramming. I experienced it and several others reported on it. Many have requested updates, on-line and off. I have discussed

Howdy folks, Having used, been abused by, and spending countless hours attempting to talk through clients over the phone through the elegant menu structure of the Outback Mate2 since it was first released, I'm very interested in hearing people's experience with the Mate 3 and whether it is worth

I second Howies request. For several reasons, including the extreme difficulty in using the Mate, I have been steering customer away from Outback systems. The inverters are great and have been very reliable but they are not worth all the headaches and wasted time that the Mate has caused.

Thanks Daryl for the feedback. Have you or anyone else used the Mate3 on a VFX or GVFX, and is that an improvement over using the Mate2? Howie -- Howie Michaelson NABCEP Certified Solar PV Installer™ Catamount Solar, LLC Renewable Energy Systems Sales and Service VT Solar Electric Hot Water

Howie: I second your frustration with complex menu structures. We have combatted that problem with concise, laminated instruction cards for fundamental operations (Inverter On/Off, Generator Remote Start, Equalization, etc). More critical is the location in the menu structure of the Charger
