@SignatureSolarJess Markus_Eg4 was able to get my batteries communicating properly. Signature solar techs (Mr Greeley) was adament that my batteries would NOT communicate with the EG4 Inverters. How do we get this solution to your techs so that they can server your clients better?

So I assume I should simply wire the Gylls into the bus bars in my server rack and let them operate without Comms? Giving me 900 amp hours even though the EG4 6000's only see the 700 amp hours? Sorry for all of the questions.

Ok one more question, I have backup system that has two of the new Lifepower 4 batteries on it. I could move the Gylls out to my Growatt backup system and move the Lifepower4 into the main rack if you think I would get the Lifepower 4's to communicate with the Eg4-LL V1 Chain?

I cannot explain enough how grateful I am for the Forum and for Markus_EG4 he helped me get this all running correctly. Now in all seriousness, how do we get this solution over to Signature Solar so that they can server their customers better? I am so damn happy to have proper comms between...

Ok I got the master inverter to communicate to the first battery that I flashed. Now how do I get the second Slave inverter to not give me the sad face error. I set it to the same lithium setting as the master and I rebooted the slave inverter but it still gets an error message. I don't have...

Ok I will re flash my batteries with the file you sent above.

It is set to 1, and I worked with Signature solar for days and they finally came out and said oh they were wrong that battery won't communicate. SO I am desperate for some help.

No sir.

There are 4 dips and they are set to zero. My batteries done have the LCD screen to change settings on the batteries. So I am not sure how to change the batteries to CAN?

The Firmware provided to me by signature solar came zipped in a folder named EG4-LL V1 Firmware-20231121T181806Z-001 And the hex file is named EG4-LL V1 multipack firmware.hex If that is the right firmware, it does not work Via 485. I messed around with CAN bus but don't know what setting to...

I really expensive Windvane,. I am having some buyers remorse but time will tell. Probably would have been better served with two more batteries and some more solar panels.

It would take some massive winds to tip one of those containers. I live out on the pawnee Grassland and have some 70-80 MPH winds and the containers didn't even notice.

I am going to post a bunch of videos of this turbine. I am having some buyers remorse but maybe it will drive some more traffic to my youtube channel.

I am installing a 48v Istabreeze 2000 watt turbine. What is the best way to monitor the power being produced by the turbine? I have a spare Victron Smart Shunt, would that device work. Thanks

Can someone suggest a meter or shunt to help me monitor the power being produced by the Turbine? I have an extra Victron Smart Shunt but not sure if this would work?

Is that converstion done up in the turbine or down in the charge controller?

Convert to DC? Is the power from turbine AC? I am new to this and assumed it was producing DC current?

Watched the video. Good information. Mine is the windsafe version so maybe it will hold up better. Time will tell

Ok I am going to ask the dumb question... What is the slip ring?

At what point with a small windturbine is there too much wind?

I think with where I live it will be just fine. Flat and windy and not a tree for miles. Wind is consistent from the North West.

15 feet. But It will be mounted on top of a 9 feet storage container.

Yes, I do live in the middle of the windy Prairie.

Yeah I would have probably been better off spending the money on two more batteries, but we will see. If anything it will make for some good content for my YouTube Channel.

I have not found any small wind turbines that are made here. 95% of them come from China.

I ordered the Istabreeze 2000 Watt Windsafe turbine and their charge controller. I also added their mast to mount it on. It is currently shipping from Turkey and I hope to have it by the end of the February 2024. If you want to follow me on this project then follow this thread and I will keep...

Heat the walk in closet with an electric heater.

Sold.

Original firmware. Did not even know there was an update.

Well that just made my day. I am IT guy so things like that come easy to me. Learning more and more about electricty.

Just ordered the interlock switch.

Yes that is me.

Probably a good idea to get the interlock between the two breakers in the external panel so I cannot have a lapse in brain power and cause an issue.

I have a used (less than 1 year) Growatt 5000ES and the Growatt Transformer that I would like to sell. $650 with shipping for both items. There is one small modification. County code required that the PV wires be in 3/4 conduit so I made the hole for the PV wires a tiny bit bigger to...
