    Anyone downgraded Solar Assistant software?

    EG4-6000XP Time of Use (ToU) configuration?

    6000XP won't talk to EG4-LL

    If you set EOD (Setting 12) based on SOC to 20% then the inverter will switch to grid (around 19-20%), and then will switch back to battery after increasing 10% SOC (around 29-30%).

    Do Tigo TS4-A-O optimisers actually work?

    I had one panel bring down my 10s string, but ended running more wire to utilize the second MPPT on my inverter. Now it’s two 5s strings and only the string with the one shaded panel is affected. I purchase one Tigo Optimizer for this panel to test. I’ll report back with results.

    Using your Electric Vehicle to power your home

    This is my setup, except for the capacity to charge EV. I only have enough PV and battery for the house.
