You need to crawl in/under/all around this installation familiarizing yourself and writing down all the brands, model numbers, and sizes.

Either your installer is unqualified to do this work or you simply don't understand how to operate the system.

If you want help figuring this out, you MUST answer the questions being asked.

I provided as much information as I can muster. In the recent post. You're right. I don't understand how to run the system. I've admitted that a couple of times. Thing is 1) I was given the impression that once correct settings are made, which the installer supposedly did, it was a turn it on and forget it system. No technical or product knowledge required. When a problem arose I relied on the dealer to fix it. They sort of did once by replacing the things that the previous install had blown out.

I mentioned early on that I did not know what the settings should be other than the battery type. I don't know if there is an incorrect setting causing the problem. I haven't had a chance to look up what each parameter should be. I'm not even sure where I'd find the info. Controllers for both the solar and the internal factory controller have been mentioned. I can't find anything in the factory manual and I have no idea where one might be, what it would look like, or how it should be set up. Xantrex support just said "Nothing wrong with the unit. Take it to your dealer."

So yeah. Ignorant. Guilty.
