[RE-wrenches] Generator Selection -- XW specific

[Maverick Brown [Maverick Solar]]

I was able to edit two parameters guided by Xantrex to make the issue go
away. You will need the Xantrex Configuration Tool and the tech note /
software tool from Xantrex. But otherwise its pretty simple to do. Of
course, a firmware update will make the incompatibility go away easier.

Software upgradeability is a great feature on inverters.

Thanks

Maverick

Friends:

The Kohler RES series generator has a bug when used in conjunction with the
Xantrex XW inverters:  The power waveform of the RES generators is distorted
under no-load conditions.  The result is that the XW will not connect.  A
fix is pending but a new firmware release date is not yet predicted.
