When I am connected via my router, and I try to access the settings it exits out of the app and says that there is a bug present. It does not do that when I just connect without internet.

It does work on local Wi-Fi, (TCP Connect) but on Bluetooth it is blank.

Android. Any idea who to contact?

Ok thanks. About the problem with the APP. Like I said I get a message that the app has a bug after I click on settings and the app shuts down and exits to home page on my phone. Is there a bug associated with this app? I cannot change any settings at all. All other functions are normal. I...

Right now I have been working with SS. Would you rather take care of this?

I swapped out the dongles to each inverter and the problem stayed with the dongle in question. That tells me it is a problem with the dongle? Do you agree?

Ok, I got the first inverter firmware upgraded but the second inverter dongle top LED is flashing. Unplugged, tried resetting and reinstalling and no luck. I press the button on the dongle and hold for 30 seconds but nothing. I assume that is the way to reset? This dongle was working earlier...

Inverter# 4093740055 Dongle# BJ40172373 Also do you know the latest firmware # for the Inverter? I also read that my EG4 Lifepower4 batteries should be upgraded to latest. They were upgraded in January. Thanks

Hey Jared, I just got the 2 6000XPs wired and running today. Cannot get the app to recognize the 2nd inverter. When I add the Dongle , it says S/N already exist. Any easy cure or should I contact EG4?

What part of Indiana. I'm 25 miles west of Vincennes.

I just got my 2 6000XPs running today. Guess what, NO LIGHTS FLICKERING at all. Smooth as silk. Now I just have to figure out how to get the 2nd inverter to recognize it on the app. Tried to add the 2nd dongle and it says S/N already exist? There really ought to be a recall on the 6500EXs. To...

Something not mentioned is how long will this crap equipment last. From someone who just had to return 2 defective inverters after 3 months of use, I doubt 10 years, even for the more expensive ones. Never heard the word replacement of equipment. Just make sure you have a way to pay for more...

Putting in a pipeline!

Welcome to the world of the EG4 6500EX-48! I just returned my 2 for store credit. Got 2 6000XPs paid for, awaiting shipment.

So how long have you worked for Nasa? SpaceX could use you!!

Off subject but I cannot imagine that structure surviving a 70 MPH wind! It was neatly built but you are in hurricane country! I'm a big fan of supporting the front also. Just my opinion.

Thanks

I'm in agreement with that. If it wasn't for the 4 Canadian solar PVs, I would purchase 1 6000XP and the EG4 charge controller and I would be able to do 3 strings, But I need 4 MPPTs. Do you know of a charge controller with 2 MPPTs for around 5 to $600?

Thing is I can get by with 6000 Watts because I am not running my heat pump or hot water heater on my critical loads panel. But you are correct I should probably bite the bullet and get the second one!

I perfectly understand. It can be very frustrating!

I have 18 Bluesun 460W Bifacial panels and 4 Canadian Solar 285W Panels. My setup with the 2 EG4 6500EXs was 3 strings of 6 each of the Blue Suns and then the 1 string of the 4 Canadian Solar panels, all in series of course. 2 of the strings into each Inverter. I can't mix the Canadian Solar...

Not the person to answer your question on the grounding, but very intrigued by your tracker. Anyway to get more pictures and possibly info about the actuators etc. That looks like from the front at least, a very solid stable device. The opposite of the ecoworthy tracker! Thanks

Only $1500! James you probably spend that on caviar nightly.

That seems reasonable and smart to have 4, but this light flickering is really uncalled for. Its been shown to be common to the 6500s. And the major issue I had where it could have done some damage to a home appliance. You would have thought there would have been some sort of safeguard to...

It was just unreliable with issues. Flickering lights etc. The nail in the coffin for me was when for no reason when my split phase 240V well pump kicked on and one of the inverters decided to go offline which meant the other inverter was still providing 120V to a 240V motor. There was no other...

Let me get you my numbers tomorrow. It looks like with the solar panel specs I have, going parallel, or series makes it to close in either amps or volts. My setup with the 2 6500s utilized all 4 MPPTs comfortably.

Yeah I knew that . I need it to have 4. The charge controller you are showing me has only one solar input. Wish it had 2. Thanks

I have sent back my 2 6500EXs and awaiting store credit to replace with the 6000XP. I can get by with only one Inverter except for the fact that I need 2 more MPPTs. I know you can parallel a charge controller into the system but cannot find one at around $500 to $600 that has 2 MPPTs. Does a...

This is actually 5 smaller kits combined. You probably saw it for sale at SS. Also Wil Prowse was reviewing a different rack system on Youtube. Might check it out.

Check out my setup. Might not be what you are looking for and it was a lot of work but it is high enough for my Bifacial PVs I think.https://diysolarforum.com/threads/brightmount-rack.77778/

You must live in an area of a lot of sun! Your idea would not work in my state in the winter. To many cloudy days! I like the idea of automatically cutting power when and where needed.

Have an idea. I could probably get by with just one EG4 6000XP because I can manage the output to below the limits, but the PV input is a problem. One of the inverters could not handle my total watts from the panels. Would it be possible to use one inverter and supplement it with a charge...

Thanks Jared. What complaints have you heard? What I'm hearing is good, but the unknown is always good to know.

Well after many weeks of random trouble shooting the conclusion has come that my 6500EX inverters are defective,(Surprise)! Been authorized store credit. Will be replacing with 2 EG4 6000XPs. Anyone who would not recommend these inverters please speak up. Excuse me while I go and rewire...
