Hey <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="/profile/8-waterman/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="8" href="/profile/8-waterman/" rel="">@Waterman, how's your GS inverter doing for you? Any comments/suggestions/thoughts?
Huh?
Ha ha ha.🤣 You don't know what some of us can print with a 3-D printer, crazy glue, and a plastic melt pen.

It is running fine. Just one of these days need to find out why it will not take any kind of input or work with my WiFi in the shed. But then the MSB units won't talk to me either.
Still think there needs to be a cover over the screen and buttons to keep out dust/dirt, dog hair, Gecko droppings.................................... Darn Tokay scared the heck out of me the other night as it sounded off right above my head.
And unless you turn up the volume full blast, it comes nowhere near how loud they get.

Two possible problems with 2 possible solutions 😉.
If this was one of the earlier inverters going out, the AC input config may not have been set up right--in which case the AC Input entry on the LCD won't register anything, no matter what power you put into the inverter. (Internal solder jumper wasn't set.)
Please note that we're aware of an issue with the GS AC input...frankly, it's based off the PJ circuit with just a single relay on L1. Well, turns out that most people using the AC input want to connect it to the grid/breaker panels--which thanks to the UL ground-neutral bonding requirement, pretty well ends up back-powering the inverter even when the relay is off. (This will be fixed on Rev. C.)
WiFi...I am assuming it just won't connect? Or does it not stay connected? Just discovered a random reconnection issue with the WiFi on a certain inverter this week--was able to fix the bug via firmware update, and now it quickly reconnects to WiFi if it loses connection for whatever reason. Might also be affecting your inverter if it connects to WiFi when you set it up the first time (from the generated WiFi config page)...then ends up disconnected and stays that way. If so, this will be fixed on 1.1r3, which I hope to release sometime next week (have another few bugs to track down + new features to tinker with).
