    Parallel EG4 6000XPs>>> Poor mans Grid assist??

    Ok, So I have purchased a second 6000xp. I plan on only one being connected to grid for the foreseeable future as I am out of breakers on the main panel. Would there be any issues with 2 6000xps on the same battery bank but only one connected to grid? I understand that my pass thu would be...

    Does the EG4 6000XP use more power when it is utilizing 2 Mppt inputs vs 1?

    I just upgraded my panels. I have 2 identical 3660 watt strings, wired exactly the same. They are positioned very close to each other. I have noticed that PV2 is almost always about 50-60 watts less than PV1 even tho sometimes it has a higher voltage reading by 5-8v. Does using 2 MPPTs...

    EG4 6000 Xp into Victron VRM using Raspberry Pi.

    Anyone have any ideas? I think this would be the ultimate for those of us with Victron SCCs while also using the MPPTS on the 6000xp. Is it a pipe dream to have all MPPTS on the same 3rd party monitor screen? I know home assistant is an idea but, how to get both a Victron SCC and the eg4...

    EG4 6000Xp. Load sharing? Using grid and batteries?

    Up until today I have never seen a load using grid and battery. This happened right after quick charge reached terminal voltage. Is this right? Anything to be concerned with? Possibility of back feeding? Theoretically could I somehow use 3000 watts from battery and 4000 watts from grid and...

    EG4 6000Xp grid mode efficiency.

    Is grid bypass near 100% efficient? of course accounting for the 60 watts for the unit itself?

    EG4 6000xp manual is pretty lacking.... I could use some help.

    The manual references "Working Modes" But I have not found any documentation on how to change or test these settings. Searching the pdf manual for "Bypass mode" I get nothing that will help me change to it... It appears I am stuck in off grid mode and this is not ideal. I am not looking to...
