    EG4 6000XP 120v AC grid connection to 120/240v L1 and L2 input

    Jared, it just needs to be rewritten to 240v Spilt Phase. It’s not like someone is going to bring 90v into one leg and 150v into the other. And we (you and I @Marobel) went around with this in my feed so I understand now the other needs for having the 240v SP. Powering the AC output at 240 SP...

    EG4 6000XP 120v AC grid connection to 120/240v L1 and L2 input

    I feel your pain. I fell into this same thought dungeon but was re-educated by the likes of the same bunch that chimed in here. Do feel like the documentation is a bit nebulous for most diyers but they’re not wrong. I ended up just getting a Chargeverter from EG4 (or should I say, I’m on the...

    Can’t Find An Installer…

    Wondering if you could share their contact information. I have a smallish 8-panel rooftop installation that I need help with down to my 6000xp.

    EG4 6000XP 120VAC Input vs. 240VAC - A Useful Feature?

    And I think that’s what’s going on here. Was not thinking about the 240VAC output (even though I am going to use L1 and L2 as individual 120v circuits). In my application we just don’t have the 240v usage but I can see where that would add a lot of complications for most everyone using this...

    EG4 6000XP 120VAC Input vs. 240VAC - A Useful Feature?

    I would only be using the 120 V to charge my server rack batteries. And likely only when the PV output couldn’t maintain them.

    EG4 6000XP 120VAC Input vs. 240VAC - A Useful Feature?

    Thanks Mattb4. I guess that’s what I’m discussing here. Why does the AC input Need to be 240VAC? I understand that’s the way it was built or how the software work’s but is this design a Dead End for the 6000xp? I’ve considered a chargeverter as well. But there is no chareverter that I know of...

    EG4 6000XP 120VAC Input vs. 240VAC - A Useful Feature?

    Just to be perfectly clear, I’ve already had a discussion with Jared from EG4 about this. He’s not sure if this is possible but replied that he’s asked the aEG4 technical staff about this. Jared, not trying to upset the Apple cart here. Just trying to get a consensus on this topic. I’m...

    I have edited and moved this topic to the General Discussions section.

    Strut alternatives

    Honestly, at this point, you’re gonna mount a couple of thousand dollars worth of hardware on top of the struts. If you amortize this over the amount of time that these are going to last, factoring in all of the costs, you’ve put in so far, it’s probably worthwhile just sticking with unistrut...

    GStar 550w Panels?

    Great! Thanks for that update. Yes, they are a beast in size. I’ll be having a solar install crew do that as they will go onto a second story roof facing directly south with no shading. Running these at 4s into each of the 2 mppts on my 6000xp to run a small wood shop. I can more easily get...

    GStar 550w Panels?

    Was wondering if you have any more comments or concerns on these panels. I’m looking at getting 8 for an off grid project myself.

    My EG4 6000xp Cabin Build w/EVE Battery

    Okay, I see that a bit better now. Had to login on my iPad rather than iPhone. My project will not have 240v available. It’s strictly 120v installation area. Getting 240v to it would be a great issue at great expense. I’m am also going to spilt the AC output into two separate legs. One leg will...

    My EG4 6000xp Cabin Build w/EVE Battery

    Looks great. So you’re going to be running just as a 120volt system rather than anything 240v? What are you using for your generator? Will it have 120v or 240v output to back charge your batteries?
