Hub-1 Assistant updated to prevent shutdown on Overload and/or High temperature
Under certain conditions, a Multi or Quattro running the Hub-1 Assistant could shut down and signal overload or high temperature. This would especially happen on warm days with lots of sun. And in installations that have a relatively large solar array connected to the MPPT solar chargers. The new version of the Hub-1 Assistant is fixed, to make sure that no longer happens.
Australian CEC approvals for MultiPlus and Quattro
Further Australian CEC approvals have been granted in the Off-Grid Inverter category for the remaining MultiPlus and Quattro models. All Multis and Quattros from 3 kVA up to 10 kVA are now listed on the CEC Approved Product List.
