<p>If there is a way to split your AC outputs to different sub
panels, you might be able to keep the legacy system operational
to support one subpanel, and then have a multi Radian system (or
other manu) power the other loads. It can work, and also means
that a failure in one inverter will not take the entire system off
line. I have a property with a mixture of Outback inverters and 4
old Trace SW series inverters, and its been online for almost 20
years. We added the Outbacks when they added a new building, but
they all operate off the same Large battery bank. We just changed
the original batteries out about a year ago, so its been fairly
successful overall. The shop welder and power tools are isolated
from the house, so a power tool start doesn't dim the lights or
reset the computer in the house. <br>
</p>
<p> Building a single totally integrated system that incorporates
the old VFX gear is not feasible anymore though as others have
mentioned.<br>

<div text="#000099" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class=""> Friends,
<br class="">
I have a customer who's ready to upgrade to a larger
system. He has 6 - VFX3648 inverters that are 10 years
old. They're only used in the summer months but still
going strong. He needs to increase his system size to
about 28kW. <br class="">
My understanding is that Outback no longer supports the
old VFX inverters. I'm wondering if anyone knows if we
can still get parts?<br class="">
<br class="">
I did see an email from Tump that mentioned someone who
repairs boards but I was wondering if I could get
boards, maybe I could just install them in any outback
inverter and make it into a VFX 3648 (if it had the vent
/fan mount in it).<br class="">
<br class="">
Next I'm wondering if the MATE ever died if I could
either get a replacement MATE or if a MATE 3 would be
compatible? Same question for the HUB10?<br class="">
<br class="">
The VFXs are certainly proven technology. Hate to
replace them if I don't have to.<br class="">
Thanks again,<br class="">
<br class="">
