Conduit boxes for the PowerPro with reversible doors. Longer paralleling cables, longer Powerpro to inverter batter cables. Micro-inverters that can communicate with 18Kpv (think 1741sa+) allowing load-side AC coupling. A heat pump water heater that works and is not silly expensive compared...

Confirmed. The inverter came preset to brand/type 2 and it was communicating, so never checked that. Thanks!

What firmware versions on required on the PowerPro and 18Kpv to enable the additional battery details in the monitoring portal? I update the inverter to 1919 and the batteries are on Z02T17, but no sign of the battery details in the portal. Comms are set to RS485:P01-EG4 and CAN:EG4-LUX

The goal is whole home. I laid out the system such that adding another 18Kpv later would be trivial. I really, really do not want to install a critical loads panel, as I would end up moving most circuits into it, but while mulling this over and examining the panel closer I realized it is 100%...

A 100A service would cover my needs, so downsizing the fused disconnect would not be the end of the world, but unless I can at least remove the 3/0 from the meter to the main to allow a new connection, downsizing won't help. I understand the purpose of the MTS, but unless required by code I do...

Thanks for the reply! That is the exact panel, and I do have a sub-panel, but it is on a separate building, so no joy there. The line diagrams are helpful, but is is not clear what parts are optional and which are required, they all include a generator, but that is clearly not required. If...

I should have asked this question before ordering an 18Kpv and three batteries. Can anyone report success installing feeder taps in a combination meter and main panel? I have Siemens MC series PV-ready panel, and while is does have cables between the meter and main breaker, and so far every...

One of the joys of living in a small town, even if there is a licensed trade in town, they're likely too busy to take on a small job. I am installing a EG4 18Kpv. It will be replacing/augmenting a SolarEdge inverter. The small Eaton disconnect is to be removed. I was thinking to use a 200A...

I am setting up a 18Kpv with 3 PowerPro and trying to get as much handled before the electrician appointment to connect to the grid. I have run across conflicting info regarding the conduit requirements between the conduit boxes. If I use sch40 PVC and the gland nuts, will the electrician take...

Similar situation in AZ.

I just recently installed a 18Kpv to replace a hodge-podge of Siganeer invertors and Schneider charge controllers/SCP/AGS in an off-grid setup for my father. In general this has been a huge success, finally having remote (any) visibility into how the system is performing. One area that looks...
