LuxPowerTek Inverter Support — UHome Battery Faults, Charging & Tariff Configuration
Lux Power battery not charging, LuxPower portal issues, UHome BMS faults, or grid disconnections — we diagnose LuxPowerTek hybrid systems at the engineering level. Remote-first using portal data and charge schedule logs. Independent from LuxPowerTek and your installer.
Most LuxPowerTek configuration issues are fixed remotely in a single session. Tell us what you're seeing and we'll work it out.

Common LuxPowerTek problems we diagnose
Every fault below has a proven diagnostic path. Book a diagnostic if you're unsure where to start.
LuxPowerTek LXP hybrid connected but UHome battery doesn't charge on cheap rate. Most often a Time of Use schedule configuration error in the LuxPower portal — charge window not enabled, grid charge toggle off, or SoC minimum already met. BST/GMT clock offset is a very common cause.
See diagnostic guide →Lux inverters are configured via the LuxPower portal's TOU schedule. Common issues include charge windows firing at the wrong time due to BST/GMT offset, grid charge being disabled, or the SoC target being set too high so the battery never triggers a charge. We configure the full schedule remotely.
See diagnostic guide →LuxPowerTek UHome (LFP-2400) batteries communicate with the LXP inverter via CAN bus. A BMS comm fault stops the inverter reading battery state, causing it to stop charging or discharging. Causes include a loose CAN cable, incorrect battery address configuration, or a mismatch in battery count settings.
See diagnostic guide →UHome battery fully charged but not powering the house during peak times. Commonly caused by a discharge schedule not set in the LuxPower portal, minimum SoC threshold too high, or the inverter operating in the wrong mode. EPS backup must also be separately configured if needed.
See diagnostic guide →LuxPowerTek LXP hybrid powered but not generating. Check the portal for DC input voltage — if zero or very low, inspect DC isolators and PV string connections. MPPT tracking errors can also suppress production while battery and grid functions continue normally.
See diagnostic guide →LuxPowerTek inverters comply with G98/G99 and disconnect if grid voltage or frequency is outside permitted limits. The inverter reconnects automatically. If trips are frequent — common in dense solar areas — export limiting may need to be configured.
See diagnostic guide →LuxPowerTek LXP inverters support EPS backup mode, but this requires dedicated EPS output wiring during installation and must be enabled in settings. If the house lost power during a grid outage, EPS may not have been commissioned — or the load exceeds the inverter's EPS output rating.
See diagnostic guide →LuxPowerTek uses its own LuxPower monitoring portal. If the portal shows no data, the inverter's WiFi logger has lost its connection — common after a router change or password update. The inverter and battery continue operating normally; only remote monitoring and schedule access is affected.
See diagnostic guide →LuxPowerTek dataloggers require 2.4GHz WiFi. After a router upgrade many connections drop because the new router defaults to 5GHz or uses band steering. We reconfigure the datalogger remotely and restore access to the LuxPower portal.

Remote Lux Power Diagnostic
We review LuxPower portal data, TOU schedules, BMS logs, and error history to identify the exact fault without a site visit.
Lux Power Tariff Configuration
We configure your LuxPowerTek charge and discharge schedule from scratch for Octopus Agile, Intelligent, Go, or Flux. Most configuration faults resolved in a single remote session via the LuxPower portal.

About LuxPowerTek systems — what you need to know
LuxPowerTek (often referred to as Lux Power or Lux) is a Chinese manufacturer producing hybrid inverters and LiFePO4 battery systems for the UK residential market. Their core UK range includes the LXP-3600, LXP-5000, and LXP-6000 single-phase hybrid inverters, paired with the UHome (LFP-2400) battery module — a 2.4kWh stackable LFP unit with 90% depth of discharge and a 30A charge/discharge rate. Multiple UHome modules can be stacked to build the required total storage capacity. Systems carry an IP65 rating and a 10-year battery warranty.
Monitoring and schedule configuration is managed through the LuxPower monitoring portal (luxpowertek.com). The inverter's WiFi logger must maintain a stable 2.4GHz connection for remote access to work. The most common queries we handle for Lux Power systems: Lux Power battery not charging overnight, LuxPower portal offline, UHome BMS communication fault, Lux grid disconnection, and LuxPowerTek Octopus setup. Lux systems are sometimes sold as Infinity Innovations branded packages in the UK. STS provides independent support — not affiliated with LuxPowerTek.
LuxPowerTek questions answered
The most common causes are: the charge window not being enabled in the LuxPower portal TOU schedule, grid charge being disabled, the SoC minimum already being met so the battery never triggers a charge, or a BST/GMT clock offset causing the window to fire at the wrong time. We reconfigure the full schedule remotely.
The UHome (LFP-2400) is LuxPowerTek's low-voltage (48V) LiFePO4 battery module, providing 2.4kWh of usable capacity per unit. Multiple modules can be stacked to reach the required total capacity. Each module communicates with the LXP inverter via CAN bus and charges/discharges at up to 30A. The 90% depth of discharge means nearly all the stated capacity is accessible in daily use.
The LuxPower portal requires a stable 2.4GHz WiFi connection from the inverter's datalogger. After a router change, password update, or BT/Virgin Hub firmware push, the logger loses its connection. The inverter and UHome battery continue to operate normally — only remote monitoring and portal access is affected. We reconnect the datalogger remotely.
Yes. We configure the TOU charge and discharge windows in the LuxPower portal to correctly use Octopus Agile, Go, Intelligent, Flux, or any other time-of-use tariff. This often resolves overnight charging complaints that are configuration errors rather than hardware faults. Most configurations are completed in a single remote session.
STS supports all major inverter and battery brands — not just LuxPowerTek. If you have a mixed-brand system (e.g. Lux inverter with Pylontech or Dyness batteries), visit the brand hub.
