    Hello All, We have installed a Lux 12k Hybrid inverter with 6 UP5000 lithium batteries. We live in Panama and our installer does not have a lot of experience with LuXPower. We would like to setup the inverter to use solar first, then batteries, then grid and finally a Generac generator. Our...

    Our home is in Panama, Central America and we have been running a 15.2 KW solar system with two 7.6kw SolarEdge inverters and optimizers, no batteries, for the past four years. The system has been working great on a net meter with the electric company where we get full credit for what we send...

    I am having trouble connecting my mobile phone to the LuxPower_LB-US-12k inverter to update the firmware. Is there a website location where I can download the firmware to my laptop? Thanks

    Good morning, Question on the LuxPower 12kw inverter. If the Fast Zero Export in Enabled, does the inverter still take a small amount of watts from the Grid to determine if the Grid is delivering power to the inverter? Thanks
  • Post in thread: LuxPower 12kw Inverter Problem

    Happy New Year! We had a LuxPower 12kw, model LXP-LB-US-12K, inverter installed in our home about six months ago. Before December, it had been working perfectly. About one month ago the monitor system, either web on laptop or the screen on the inverter stopped reading the power to and from the...

    Is it ok to set lithium batteries at volt instead of SOC?
  • Post in thread: Combining different brands of Lifepo4 batteries to one inverter

    We have a set of 6 Pylontech UP5000 batteries for a total of 30kws. If we want to add more batteries to the system, do we need to add more Pylontech UP5000 batteries or can we use another brand imported from China via Alibaba? Thanks for the help

    Thanks, but we already have lithium batteries. We are only looking to set the maximum charge to 90%. Your prior message makes me think the Lux inverter has a problem setting the SOC charge to less than 100%.

    Hi everyone, We have a LuxPower 12kw inverter installed in Panama and it is set to use this priority: solar, battery, grid, generator. Panama has many brown outs in our area and we would like to protect our electronics from damage. We have setup Seamless Switching but our lights will still...

    We have a LuxPower 12kw inverter installed with 30kw of Pylontech UP 5000 batteries. This morning the monitor system on my computer and the screen on the inverter are not providing accurate information. In the attached picture, the home is only using 131w. Normally at this time it is using...

    Thanks for the information. I take away from the discussion would be to add more batteries and thus reduce the electricity coming from the grid. A second option would be to just go off grid, which is not a really good option as the net meter is a benefit to us. Thanks

    Hi All, Question regarding AC charge. We have the inverter settings for AC Charge enabled, but limited to time settings. Sometimes there will be a small amount of AC charge, like 79 watts, coming from the AC, when the time is not during the time period for the AC Charge to be providing AC...
