I doubt that Outback could change the Mate and improve it. I still find it 
difficult to deal with and switched to Magnum for that reason.

In my opinion the “improvements” made to the MX 60 in moving to the FM 60 were 
not an improvement. I have a customer with 2 identical racks and the MX60 did 
better every time we checked.

 

Just my opinion,

Bob

Hi All,

 

I’m with William, Its happened a number of times.

 

But I doubt that outback is going to change anything with the mate 1.

i have had this happen, but only with one very elderly customer who didnt know

his system.

 

having people "press buttons" who dont understand their function or correct 
settings is a recipe for problems. a ruined battery bank is an expensive lesson.

 

in all my years of designing and building systems (mostly all off-grid) i only 
had one customer who was so challenged with flying the system, that after she 
destroyed two sets of battery banks in 5 years, she decided living off-grid was 
too complicated, and she moved back to town. she rented her place and the 
renters actually operated the system with no problem.

 

the point is, some people are better at understanding and operating a 
battery/inverter/solar system than others. sure, the MATE could be easier, but 
i have never had any difficulty navigating and changing the menu settings and 
options. usually it is "operator/customer error".
