KiloVault Lithium Solar Battery by
KiloVault Lithium Solar Battery Update on Incredible Battery
I was not allowed to update my previous review until I created a new account.
AltE did replace the original battery with the defective BMS. The replacement battery, a 3600 HLX V3, is a big disappointment. It will discharge as advertised, however, it does not charge as advertised and causes s... (more)

Schneider Electric Conext SW 4024 Inverter/Charger by JONATHAN ENOS
Schneider Electric Conext SW 4024 Inverter/Charger Good inverter for the money
I use this inverter to drive my Critical loads panel. I drive my whole kitchen (gas stove), 1st and 2 floor lighting, sump pump, 12k btu mini split, gas tankless water heater, and pellet stove. I have no issues even with some larger loads running at the same time. Been up and running for 6 mons n... (more)

Lorentz Solar Pool Pump with PS600 Controller by james bordine
Lorentz Solar Pool Pump with PS600 Controller Upadate 10/21/2019
I posted the original installation of this dc pool pump back in 2012.
I am on my second pump only because the shaft bearings failed in the DC brushless motor a couple of years ago.
I was able to measure and source out replacement bearings as they are a common size (so now I have a spar... (more)

KiloVault HLX+ Lithium Solar Battery Incredible Battery
(Editor's note: This review was left about the prior version of the HLX+ battery.)
Upgraded my solar electrical system this year after 5 years on my smaller system. My intent was to never run my generator again. I have been running my new system with the KiloVault 3600 HLX for 2 weeks an... (more)

Schneider Conext Configuration Tool by Lawrence Deickman
Schneider Conext Configuration Tool Great alternative for off-grid configuration
This tool has come in extra handy for me as I live off-grid and my Generac EcoGen has been down for the last 3 months. To update the firmware everything needs to go to stand-by which means no house electric and no internet. I tried several times to update using the Conext SCP and Conext Gateway a... (more)

Outback Power MATE3s System Display and Controller by Eric
Outback Power MATE3s System Display and Controller Fantastic
Not sure why people leave such angry reviews when it is obvious they don't follow instructions. You MUST update the firmware before you do ANYTHING. Load the latest firmware onto a SD card from the Outback website. Put the SD card in the MATE3S, follow the instructions to update the firmwa... (more)

Outback SkyBox 5048A Pre-Wired Inverter System by Peter Dunshie
Outback SkyBox 5048A Pre-Wired Inverter System Outback SkyBox 5048A Hybrid Inverter review
On January I ordered an Outback SkyBox 5048A Hybrid Inverter. I thought this would be the perfect inverter for my solar project. When I first started the system up I was rewarded with a PV fault low voltage. I was supplying it with two parallel strings of 6 panels each producing 288 vdc feed thru... (more)

Q CELLS Solar Panels by James Corliss
Q CELLS Solar Panels 385W Duo panel install
Went live October 23rd 2018 using 15 panels on an adjustable tilt MT solar pole mount and the SB 6.0 inverter. Glad I bumped the inverter power up from the 5KW originally recommended as the array has maxed the inverter (6.1KW) on crystal clear days. With a clear dark blue sky the panels are putti... (more)

I have a classic 150 and 200 and a Schneider / I like the Ethernet capability on those but they cost twice what the Kid costs. I purchased the Kid for another wind project after watching the Wind Kid Videos / was disappointed it was not ready for that task (my bad) but I put it on a smaller 24v s... (more)

Outback Power MATE3s System Display and Controller Christopher Warfel
We have had two Mate3 fail totally on firmware updates. There is no workaround unless you scour various listservs. Even then the workaround hasn't worked. The final stick in the eye is that Outback will not take any responsibility and offers, what has become recently, extremely bad Technical... (more)

Fronius Symo Adv 10.0-3PH 208-NO REFUNDS/RETURNS President & CEO
I had 5-ea Fronius 208/240 inverters installed in my building December 2015. From the very first week they were installed, they have all five randomly and intermittently shut down. We have lost a significant amount of Solar operating time (the least of my current concerns.) I have asked that ... (more)

Midnite Solar Classic 150 MPPT Charge Controller, 150V 96A Good Purchase
I have a Classic 150 - which is perfect for 5 strings of 3 panels (285w - 300w) - e.g. use Classic Sizing Tool for your situation. Have had it in operation for 3 months now with DIY Lithimum Ion battery pack and local internet access/control. All is working perfectly and looking forward to ad... (more)

Enphase Micro Cable Clips, Packs of 10 by Kevin Pate
Enphase Micro Cable Clips, Packs of 10 They don't look like this
Two stars because they do fit the enphase q cable. But otherwise they don't look like this nor do they fit the ironridge rail as the photo implies. Not sure what they fit. Was able to make them work by liberal bending of the rack-side clip. (more)
