    EG4 18K shutting off on off on every morning 5,30 am

    I ran mine without comms for a long time, until I bought the Powerpro's. That error was never a problem with off grid mode that I always ran.

    Overkill solar BMS bluetooth not working

    The blue LED comes on when there is an active Bluetooth connection. Make sure location services are turned on when you are trying to use the app, it absolutely will not work without it. It's an Android thing not an app thing.

    EG4 18K shutting off on off on every morning 5,30 am

    Put it into off-grid mode, that will stop your trip with no AC but it will still UPS if needed.

    Used vs new panels for roof mount

    If they are going to go on the roof bifacial is a waste of your money, however there are less tariffs on those, so they may end up being very close to the same price as regular panels. Next train of thought has to be what inverter fits your needs....what are your needs and desires ? Maybe an...

    Seplos cell quality and review advice needed?

    No, as soon as they start BSing you around, you start the process of getting a refund and canceling the order. It is simple as that every single time.

    Will a new inverter do?

    If you can replace the inverter dirt cheap then I would do that, you could probably find a working used same or similar model if you hunt around. But after that you might as well go ahead and replace the panels too because they are low powered compared to what you can get today.

    Used vs new panels for roof mount

    I would not put damaged or under 300w panels on a roof. Mine are 4yr old Panasonic 330w panels. Yep I got to the point in life where I have more money than time.

    4 X class solar flares to impact this weekend.

    Conditions were no good tonight. I set an alarm but no dice. Apparently they were seen in our part of central Florida last night.

    Strange load behavior of the cooktop/oven

    I don't know the answer to your question but I do know my electric oven does the same thing. Seems odd.

    Sol-Ark with EG4 PowerPro - coms working but now pullis from the grid when it shouldn't

    That reading is within a percentage of error, remember that current sensor reads up to 60A.

    Time to add Panels to 2 X 6000XP

    AC, DC, high voltage, low voltage can all be mixed in the same metal trunk/wireway as long as all wire insulation is rated for the maximum voltage carried. Also I think it should be ok to wire to the latest code even if your AHJ doesn't enforce it yet, but double check with them. Your's seem...

    Need electrician in Tampa Florida area for DIY solar permit.

    BTW, my town seem to be backing down on the grid connection requirement. Just waiting on official notice.

    Need electrician in Tampa Florida area for DIY solar permit.

    Ours is 160MPH in this part of Florida, equivalent to an EF3. Your local codes could be written with this in mind. Do I want to test the theory in real life, not really.

    Need electrician in Tampa Florida area for DIY solar permit.

    I was going to login to Ironridge and check my install and put your area in to see if it made a difference and try to understand why it would want 2' rafter attachments.....but they got bought out and now it insists on making a new login, nope.

    New 10kw NHX AIO From Watts247

    Too many to list, check the firmware update logs. Gavin and Zapper do better video's than I ever could, there are several of us thrashing these things daily, my 18k runs the whole house and has done for nearly a year now. Yes it is, and EG4 give a lot of feedback to make improvements. Ask...

    New 10kw NHX AIO From Watts247

    The EG4 inverters are actively being updated by USA people and data every day. Bugs, user improvements and power/reliability are being tested and rolled out regularly. USA support and development should be considered. When I make a suggestion to EG4, it gets worked on.

    EG4 18KPV - 5 Ton A/C

    An AC unit takes a second to start, 86,400 seconds per 24 hours....you feeling lucky ? 🤩 A simple relay interlock on the thermostats would take care of this or wifi thermostats connected to Home Assistant.

    Just because you don't like the data, does not mean it is wrong. Look at all the tornadoes this week, over a wide area of the middle of the country. No one wants thousands of panels raining down, hail is bad enough.

    Ghosted? Another article popped up with example(s).

    If solar power was a car, currently it would be a Model T with a supercharger. The technology is evolving quickly as is some people's understanding of it.

    Are microinverters with battery supply a thing?

    As to your current guestimated use, 1 or 2 18k that can be grid interactive and 2+ 6000XP for the heavy stuff would cover your suspected 200A consumption.

    Are microinverters with battery supply a thing?

    How often are you pulling the full 200A from your grid supply ? Never !!! Grab yourself an Emporia or 2 and monitor your use for a while. Knowledge is power 😁

    Need electrician in Tampa Florida area for DIY solar permit.

    I am in a similar situation now, except I have plans for 100% off grid, permits pulled, equipment installed and passed inspection. Now, the town have decided I cannot get a CO because of no grid connection, even though my solar system is up and running 100% They think FPL forbids them to issue a...

    EG4 PowerPro Battery Firmware

    I can confirm it works 100%, just passed inspection with it. When you hit the RSD button what happens, does the inverter switch off but you don't get the battery breaker switching off?
