[RE-wrenches] Schneider SCP / MPPT 80 600 / XW+ / Gateway questions

[Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar]

It is pretty well laid out on the website for 3 + years that you need to 
use Insight.
You should also read the installer info.

https://solar.se.com/us/en/2021/06/29/essential-advanced-resources-for-installers/

SCP will work for some basic functions but is out of memory for XWP. Use 
for indication only.

I am guessing that you did not program XWP to set the IEE region code as 
above in the installers manual?  This is probably causing some extra 
issues for you.

You do need the password and I can send it if you do not have it?

Good Luck.
