[RE-wrenches] outback

HI Greg,

You can still get FX/VFX boards.
Outback doesn’t make the FX series,  only the V/FXR models now, they are not compatible

Mate 3s works on newer and older units
Mate 1 doesn’t work on newer R or Radian versions

kris Stone <stkrizzi at yahoo.com> for parts.
Kris will know but last time I checked you can get reconditioned/short warranty boards or new with full warranty for FX/VFX.  

As to 28kw, I’d go with the 4 Radian vs 8 stack FXR.

> Friends,  
> 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.  
> My understanding is that Outback no longer supports the old VFX inverters.  I'm wondering if anyone knows if we can still get parts?
>   
> 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).
> 
> 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?
> 
> The VFXs are certainly proven technology.  Hate to replace them if I don't have to.
> Thanks again,
