Drake,
My 2 cents:
After getting over my many years boycott of Schneider due to the legacy of
Xantrex, I finally tried the new XW several years ago, and haven't really
looked back since. They certainly have had their hiccups, and there is a
fair amount of complexity to the programming depending

Hello fellow wrenches!
We have had this issue with a couple of systems and it drove us crazy.
This was for two systems that had been programmed to run in mini grid
mode. After replacing all communication wires with shielded cable,
replacing the mate, replacing hub, replacing guts from both
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
Does the 1.4.6 firmware also fix the mate 3S shutdown issue?
One system I’ve got has the mate just blank except for a few minor displays.
But no buttons work etc.
Unplug and replug and it’s all back to normal.
Thanks

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

delays between the faults
We have seen this issue repeatedly as well with FXR stacked inverters.
Changing cables, scrubbing the firmware etc will buy time but never fully
fixes the issues. It will crop up again at some future date. My general
sense is that errors accumulate over time and make these systems unstable.

Just a thought on the mismatch, I have found that i have less issues with
my own shielded cat 5 cable instead of the green outback cables, easy
enough to make and if you make them they can be routed away from AC fields
that may increase the potential

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
