    @EG4_Jared Hey Jared. I asked you about this a few weeks ago but never heard back.

    eg4 6000xp as a "generator"?

    @Will Prowse Hey Will! I have a sol-ark 12k and would love to ac couple a 6000xp to it the same way you did in this video to the 18kpv in the generator input. I don't export to the grid though and have zero export enabled. Are these inverters able to control the ac voltage on the 6000xp to...

    Sol-Ark new optimizer

    Oh, my mistake then. I had searched these and I saw a bunch of "get it by May 25th" dates on orders on multiple various websites so I thought they'd been released. I'm tired of waiting though. You guys say the Tigo optimizers work fine with your inverters? I have a 12k myself.

    EG4 hub overriding sol-ark settings(absorb,equalization, float)

    EG4 Communications Hub (Best Practice)

    Thanks Jared! I was just wondering about open loop. However, I have 6 EG4 Lifepower4 batteries with rack and an EG4 communications hub. I was told a year ago by signature solar to set the voltage in the hub to 56.5 for closed loop. Setting the value in the hub to 56.5 changes the following...

    What voltages would I want to put if I were setting it to open loop?

    EG4 hub overriding sol-ark settings(absorb,equalization, float)

    @Zapper77 or anyone else seeing this thread.. Are there updated voltage settings to set for the EG4 Lifepower4 batteries? Right now, my float, absorption, and equalization is set to 56.5v from the hub. I can only set one voltage on the hub that sets all 3 of these in my inverter. Not sure that...

    Did this work??

    Eg4 draining batteries in broad daylight???

    I know what the issue is.You have to go and enable use timer and set up specific wattage and percentage. This issue occurs when you don't have the use timer box checked. Battery usage will drop to 0 watts if you set it up like mine here.

    What happened with this? I'm just now finding this site and wanted to order from them. Not sure if they're a scam or not

    EG4 6000XP Released, ordered. Let's Go!

    Hey guys. Can you do zero export grid tied with this inverter? I see it has a grid breaker and can pull power from the grid. Can it put power back to your main panel but not export it?

    Solar Assistant reporting 0 on pv energy

    I had this issue too. I figured out it fixes by clearing my database completely. But now I lost all my data. Didn't know I can export and import. Also had a weird time issue where every day at 2PM EST, solar assistant would start counting stats for the next day. Both of these have been fixed though.

    New Delta Pro Ultra and Smart Panel 2

    I wouldn't say a Sol-Ark and server rack batteries are "extreme diy friendly". That would be saying any system is extreme diy friendly then, because they're all very similar. I've installed both ecoflow products and Sol-Ark + server batteries for my own home. The sol-ark install took way more...

    New Delta Pro Ultra and Smart Panel 2

    I'm surprised they're already coming out with new versions of these. It was just announced an hour ago. Thoughts? This is all the info available at the moment: 1. DELTA Pro Ultra is a whole-home backup solution that offers unwavering emergency backup and energy independence. A single...

    Sol-Ark, EG4 Communications Hub/LifePower4 - Solar Assistant configuration

    Ohhhh okay thanks!! Appreciate that. Having solar assistant plugged direct into the battery let's you see them all individual? That's pretty neat. I'll be changing the way my system is set up right away. What dip switch setting do you have on battery #7?

    Sol-Ark, EG4 Communications Hub/LifePower4 - Solar Assistant configuration

    Yeah I understand what you mean. I don't understand the post I quoted though from you. You didn't say you had the EG4 hub connected to the inverter, you said you had the cable connected to battery #7, didn't mention the hub at all. So you have the other Ethernet in the splitter connected...

    Signature solar defective replacement

    Yeah I don't like that either. They should send me a replacement after already determining that it was bad. But yet now they have to determine it's bad a 2nd time in a lab? Also now I'm down 1 battery while they "analyze" or do whatever they're doing in their lab. Who knows how long they will...

    Signature solar defective replacement

    Yeah I tried everything so far. Updated firmware, did tests, etc. I received the battery with state of health/total capacity being 78%. I thought it may have just been a weird visual glitch, so signature solar had me go into BMS test and manually force the values to say 100% SOH. I reset the...

    Signature solar defective replacement

    Hey guys. Look at these weird terms and conditions from signature solar. Provide products to you without any warranties, or condition of the items? Anyway onto the post. I have a defective/bad EG4 LifePower4 battery. Signature Solar has agreed for me to send my battery back and troubleshoot...

    Sol-Ark, EG4 Communications Hub/LifePower4 - Solar Assistant configuration

    I don't understand. "So using two USB to ethernet cables and a splitter I connect one cable to the spitter and the PI, this gives me all the details from the inverter, then I connect the other cable to my battery #7 in my second cabinet. In solar assistant, I tell it to use the following...

    EG4 hub overriding sol-ark settings(absorb,equalization, float)

    I mentioned that I purchased the hub in order to use it and communicate with the inverter and batteries. It would be a waste of money to just unplug it because something doesn't work correctly. They should fix it

    Gotcha. I don't have any Schneider gear or equipment though. I'm running a Sol-Ark 12 alongside the EG4 batteries.

    EG4 Lifepower4 48V Top Balancing Firmware.

    Sorry forgot those details. They're all brand new Lifepower4. I updated firmware on all of them out of the box. Running 3.26 with hub running 1.10. Voltages set to 56.2 as recommended by sig solar the other day on the phone.

    EG4 8k firmware update 09.19.23

    Those are fine. I use 62 and 58. Even a little variance off of 60 is bad so you can edit it higher if you want

    Solar assistant: do you use it?

    It's the best, plus using home assistant as well.
