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="">
