[RE-wrenches] Schneider 600volt Charge Controller

[penobscotsolar at midmaine.com]

FYI Howie,
   Schneider engineers are actively working on a communication solutions
between the Schneider Xanbus and Midnite controllers. I've been talking
to an engineer working on it who says it should be ready very soon. It
will also work with the combox for remote monitoring.

> Hi All,
> Anyone have feedback/review of the 600 volt Schneider Charge Controller
> that they'd care to share?  I have an existing Conext XW+ off-grid system
> with combox communication setup which currently has about 1.5 kW of solar
> feeding through 2 MX60s (no hub). We'll be adding about 5kW (on a TPM
> about
> 150' away) and I'm trying to decide if overall it would be better to use
> the Schneider 600v (which I haven't used before, although I have serviced
> the 150v XW with no real complaints).  Typically I would use a Classic200,
> but given the ability to integrate with the XW6848 and communicate through
> the Combox for more offsite visibility, I'm considering the Schneider, but
> only if it's not going to provide me with the benefit of added service
> calls.
> TIA!
