New custom tiny home build with EG4 Equipment

[Sharing Society]

Here is the latest build I've been working on with a partner who did the Tiny Home custom build.

SPECS:
2400W Solar - 6 of 400W URE URECO FBM400MFG-BB solar panels
48V Inverter, 6,500 Watts Max Output at 120V Model EG4 6500EX-48
EG4 Chargeverter at 240V input
4 Slot EATON load center for Generator input bypass with interlock
1 of EG4 48V 100AH LL V2 battery (customer budget limited us to 1 battery)

I don’t think you are going to get full power out of that unit without another battery

The inverter needs approx. 140A continuous @50VDC for full output capability.

I like the set-up. I'm sure you are getting excited about finishing up the build too. The tiny home that I did took me way longer than it should have, and I still haven't installed solar to it. I did get plumbing and grid power ran to it though!

I would have to agree with rodrick and BentleyJ though, additional batteries would be necessary for it to work at full capacity. We recommend getting about 200ah, but that's because our 48v batteries are all 100a batteries. So 2 would be needed to output 6500w of power from energy storage.

Can you share the exact parts used and how this is wired? I am having trouble visualizing it.

Its a means of having 2 breakers in the same panel that can be used as inputs, 1 for utility, 1 for generator. The interlock is just an accessory that screws on to the panel dead front. It has a slider or lever assembly that blocks the other breaker so only one can be on at once.

Here is an example.
