Hi Wallace, Interesting. Eric has in the past been responsive to my queries. I emailed him over 1 week ago about my most recently failed XWPro and have not heard back. I see he is replying fairly rapidly to your query. I shall bug him more next week. Kevin From: RE-wrenches On Behalf Of

Hey bleeding edgers, So being alarmed at what I was reading and halfway through purchasing a dual stack XW Pro package I emailed Eric Benson with my concerns and pasted your four descriptive posts with it and my plans to reconsider my choice before committing to problems some have had and I

I've only installed one and it is an ongoing nightmare. Almost burned the customers house down with exploding batteries. Voltages all set properly but the unit ignored all settings and went up to 67 volts while I watched and who knows how high it would have gone if I had not shut the system down.

It must be an XW+ that died. The XW pro field circuit validation testing beta was complete in early 2019. That XWP is still working fine for me. Not many failures unless the installer did not use surge protection. If it was an XWP and you filled out the 10 year warranty, they might have

I have a buddy that has had two different  stacked pairs with issues. It took months of back and forth on the one which they did replace them however one of the inverters sent from Schneider was a euro 230/50hz. Taking another trip and more delay. And same guy, another project with monitoring etc

Dana in your first example it looks like 120A of solar is pushing onto a 100A utility meter, over #3 copper which cannot handle 120A. But I might be missing something. On Fri, Oct 13, 2023 at 6:29 AM Dana Orzel via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: > Repost of 2 types of

I had a 7 year-old one die 1.5 months ago. F41 APS Under Voltage. No ugly sounds. Just no power. I don't have many out there but this is the first. Aloha, Lou Russo (808) 345 6762 On Fri, Oct 13, 2023 at 4:47 AM Michael Morningstar via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote:

Funny you should say that. One that I just installed is acting weird and sounds horrible. Waited an hour on the phone for tech support to no avail. Will be a really long drive back to sort things out. Never had an XW with issues before. On Thu, Oct 12, 2023 at 9:29 PM Kevin Pegg via RE-wrenches <
