    EG4 6000xp App

    I probably did a terrible job describing what's happening. I've always had auto login turned on. The app and the dongle seem to loose connection when the app hasn't been used and I have to manually hit the logout button and then the login button (auto logs in without me having to enter my...

    EG4 6000xp App

    My mobile app for my EG4 6000xp always requires me to log out and then log back in anytime I return (re-open) the app. Other than that it works great. Just an annoyance. I'm using Android. Does this happen to anyone else? It's always always done this. Not a new issue.

    Micro-air Soft Start

    Follow up question. I have a two stage compressor/air conditioner. When I do the learn process, should I be lowering the thermostat down just enough to trigger stage one or lower it several degrees so that it kicks on the second stage?

    How to connect batteries to two EG4 6000xp's with no battery rack.

    Thanks for the reply. 1) I already have Current Connected bus bars that are 300 amp and the voltage range is stated as 0-64 volt. Will they work? 300 amps enough? 2) Do the positive and negative cables still need to be the same length for both 6000xp to the bus bar? 3) Should each battery get...

    How to connect batteries to two EG4 6000xp's with no battery rack.

    I do not have a battery rack, so how do I configure the wires from the 6000xp's to the batteries? Especially with the small terminal area for the cable lugs on the EG4 Lifepower batteries. Is the only way to do it is to have a bus bar? While we're at it, what awg cable should I use from the...

    Overloading EG4 6000xp Legs

    I currently have my entire house running off of one EG4 6000xp (running beautifully) and the only thing left to move over to solar is my AC unit with a soft start. I'm pretty sure it will be too much, but if I give it a try, what would be the worst case scenario? What actually happens if you try...

    Lowest electric bill ever....

    Has the electric company come snooping around to find out why you aren't using any electricity? Or to see if their meter is working?

    I've had my 6000xp running for about 2 weeks, but I'm trying to understand the following settings: (I'm using SOC since that's what makes sense to me, for now) #11 and #12 - what is the difference between these two settings? Cut off SOC vs. Battery Discharge Cutoff? Ultimately I want my...

    Solar panel output

    I have 10 X 400w (front side only) Jinko bifacial solar panels from Santan Solar. I tested each panel when I received them and they seemed okay. I'm assuming they should have a potential of 4000-5000 watts in perfect conditions, but I've never seen them produce more than about 2500w at anyone...

    6000xp Mobile App Setup Help

    I'm trying to register my account for the mobile app for my 6000 XP dongle. It asked for a distributor code. Does anybody know what I put for customer code (Signature Solar is the distributor)?
