I pass on anything aims. way too soon, all their owners seem to be asking how to fix it.

The one year warranty doesn't inspire confidence.

Anyone??

Would to know if I proceed or consider any other 48v inverter

you did't really specify any requirements or the application for the inverter.

I would highly recommend an OutBack 48V inverter. Which one, would depend on the specifics of the install.

I've been using a XW6048 for +7 years now, runs a 1kw pump 4 hours day in summer, and our house all the time. So far, so good. And it's got an awesome 100a charger in it.

They make good boat anchors.

Really true,

I do but in another threat. Anyway here they are

6 - Orion 1000 ECO260 (32V Vmp @ 8.13Amp, 38V Voc)
1 - Outback Flex 80 with one string of panel in serie
1- MPPT30 (I know they are not true MPPT, they are more a PWM) with the other string in parallel
4 - 6 volt Deka 8L16 and 4 more waiting for the 48v inverter
1- 2000 watt 12V inverter (Reason of this threat)

I'm looking at the outback inverters

[ButchDeal]

Well that isn't much of a requirement. The OutBack inverters are also chargers and would pair very well with the FlexMax80

one option might be to return the FlexMax80 and purchase the FlexPowerOne system which bundles an inverter, Mate3, FlexM80, shunts, wiring, etc all set up. You would just need to connection to the battery, array, and AC load....

as for the Inverter, you could get it with Either the FXR3048 or the VFXR3648 (3kw sealed or 3.6kw vented)

You might be able to find some older FX3048, the R is just for reporogrammable and just the latest version. I have the GTFX3048 which is an older version and was replaced by the FXR3048. (GT being Grid Tie version).

A benefit of the FXR series is that it is highly configurable and will work as grid tie or off grid and would definitely grow with you.

ButchDeal Something like this one? FXR3048A

Yes that is a nice 3kw inverter with charger. I would also get the mate3 which will pregame it and the flexmax80 charge controller you have.

ButchDeal I found this one http://www.myenergywarehouse.com/gtf...latin-inverter

Will it work for off-grid as it said is it a gried-tie

The GT stands for Grid Tie. you would be better off with the FXR which replace the older ones. The R is reprogrammable.

The GT will work off grid but will not sync to generators as well . I have the GTFX but mine is grid tie / backup.
If you want to go with the older versions then the VFX would be better.

Well I don't decide yet if I go off-grid completly. But I do wanna use more solar that POCO. In my house I still dont have power since the hurricane Maria hit last september. I want to use the power grid in the case of the system fail.

then you want the GTFX or FXR so that you have the option to go ongrid.
When the grid is there you can use net metering and save your batteries.
