    IntegraRack: Ground Mount with Epoxy Ground Stakes and Ballast Options

    Yep...if these were in the middle of a field in KS I would be re-doing it. I'm in a nice protected area and if that big of winds come through I've got bigger problems....like 100+ foot trees hitting my house.

    IntegraRack: Ground Mount with Epoxy Ground Stakes and Ballast Options

    I thought about just getting some L brackets for a similar approach. something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Brackets-Countertop-Support-Shelf/dp/B08CZ3M4WG

    IntegraRack: Ground Mount with Epoxy Ground Stakes and Ballast Options

    100%. I've been paranoid about it for awhile, but luckily we are at the bottom of a hill, surrounded by trees, and don't get much wind by the panels. I've been dumping my used motor oil on the top of each post to "treat" them and I've done some reinforcement wraps around the posts where the...

    EG4 PowerPro Battery Firmware

    I'm 95% sure I'm already using a standard cable because I needed a little more length to reach the inverter. I can confirm when I get home but I don't think that is the answer in my case

    EG4 PowerPro Battery Firmware

    Straight through meaning a standard Ethernet cable? I have a box of a million standard cables. I can also make whatever cable needed.

    Nothing else hooked up except the EG4 Android app.

    Confirmed my settings. Weird I'm not seeing more battery info. Any ideas?

    EG4 PowerPro Battery Firmware

    I'll make sure I don't have something wrong with my settings when I get home, but I'm 90% sure I have T17, I know I'm using the CAN connection, I've updated the heater logic, and I'm now using Lithium Brand #1. LCD version #14. I'll report in if I have something incorrect. Maybe an update...

    EG4 PowerPro Battery Firmware

    I believe I have Z02T17 and CAN setup correctly....I changed to Lithium Brand 1 and I don't see that information. Is it in the web interface or the smartphone app?

    EG4 PowerPro Battery Firmware

    Just to confirm this, instead of lithium brand 0:eg4, you recommend 1? I'm using the CAN protocol with the EG4 powerpro. What additional information do I get?

    SolarEdge SE7600H-US and batteries

    Yep...panels going into the SE7600 for the original "grid tied system", and then a second array I added going directly into the 18kpv. The larger box to the left of the 18kpv is purely a 200A breaker that I use as my "disconnect" and an extra layer of security between the inverter and the power...

    SolarEdge SE7600H-US and batteries

    Not shown is a DC coupled array going into the PV terminals on the inverter. So I'm AC coupled into GEN with the SE7600, and have an array that is DC coupled directly into the PV terminals. They are show in the picture of the inside of my unit on the left side. My whole 200A load panel is my...

    EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    Another update: Lots of goods for us AC coupled folks. Not sure what they mean, but I've been running it all day and so far so good. FAAB-1A1A 2024-04-22 Same as fAAB-1A1A, changes based on the FAAB-1919. 1.Add 2 minutes of Warmup to the generator microgrid mode. 2. Add split phase voltage...

    EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    Mine says "no limitation"....and I didn't change it to that so I'm assuming that's default?
