  • Charge Time

    I'm trying to figure out what are the parameters that limit charge time on a LiFePo. Specifically if I get a EG4 Lithium battery 51.2V (48V) 5.12kWh with 100AH coupled to a EG4 3kW Off-Grid Inverter | 3000EHV-48 | 3000W Output | 5000W PV Input | 500 VOC Input Charge time hooked up to my...
  • What’s a better plan, 24v direct or 24v inverted to 110v? Similar to an RV set up.

    I’m starting process of building an off grid camp, I plan to set up a 24volt battery bank with solar to charge/maintain and I will also have a gasoline powered 9,500KW inverter generator to run, ac units microwaves etc as needed. MY question is should I wire the camp up like an RV with some DC...
  • Neutral-Ground and Earth Ground questions for off grid camp

    Getting ready to set up my system in my off-grip shipping container camp. I'm wondering about neutral-ground bonding and earth grounding. My nverter (shipped in Nov of 22) has the bonding screw removed. I have had this equipment for a while now but I am just now getting around to...
  • About to pull the trigger on a EG4 3kW Off-Grid Inverter...any good/bad experiences you care to share since they hit the market?

    Off grid container build, EG4 3kW Off-Grid Inverter + EG4-LifePower4 Lithium Battery | 48V 100AH | Server Rack Battery and an array of about 3,500 watts of panels I've yet to decide on. Won't ever need more than about 2,000 watts at any given time and I have a back up generator for higher...
  • Revisiting the math (AGAIN) please assist :)

    This is what I'm considering. 3KW EG4 AIO invert/charger 48Volt 100 AH EG4 5KW Battery (10) SunTech 330W Polycrystalline Monofacial Solar Panels (shipping / cost is playing into this) Those panels are 46.2 v. Can I run 10 in series and be good on my voltage (462v) (inverter can handle (500VOC...
  • Where to buy solar panels? (Arkansas)

    Does anyone have a source in AR or maybe Memphis TN to buy panels? Or Do most folks just get them shipped? Thanks P
  • Where can I buy panels (AR/TN/MS) online?

    I’ve looked around but it seems like you can only buy a minimum of 10 panels. Where can I buy or order a smaller quantity?
  • Help with the math please…

    Let’s say I want to run a 10,000 BTU window unit in an off grid well insulated shipping container for 2- 3 hours per day for the sole purpose of controlling humidity in the summer months. The AC unit has a start up demand of 3,000 watts and a 1,000 watts continuous. Will (1) 48v 100ah battery...
  • EG4 3KW tripping battery breaker??

    I have an EG4 3KW (V2) mated to an EG4 48V LL battery. It will not run my circular saw, it is instantly throwing the battery breaker? Would you think this is normal? No other loads on it at the time. I’m figuring 20 amps with a surge at start up. Any thoughts?
  • Off Grid: Solar + Battery + All in one inverter/charger + Gas Powered Generator set-up ??

    1st Thank You all for being so generous with your knowledge!! This is my plan for an off grid camp I'm building..... EG4 48v Battery + EG4 3000W all in one + an "inverter/generator" If I use an all in one like an EG4 3000W, hook up my panels and battery and then run the AC OUT to a circuit...
  • 120v or 240v ??? I have a choice to make

    In my solar/battery/generator build, my gas powered generator that I plan to include has the option to power at 240 volts. When shopping for AiO inverters I see a choice (at sig.solar) between an offgrid... EG4 3kW 120v output $749 or Growatt 5kW 240v output. $899 or EG4 6.5kw 120Volt for...
