No major problem other than no web support or phone app. I like that it is 600v input. Price is kind of issue too. 2 or 3 6000xp seems the way to go.

I have been a huge fan of Midnite solar. I got the hawks bay and now regret it. I have been waiting a year just to get a web access. im switching to EG4 600xp. ive been holding out for a newer version of 6000xp. maybe with a display like the 18k . But for the price I will get 3 of the 6000xp.

Would this still be fine? Extreme scenario could one aray face East on one MPPT and the other face West on second MPPT? S Below is what the manual says. When sizing strings for each MPPT, they MUST be the same model, brand and # per string(series and parallel).All panels on a series/parallel...

I will say nice to see support here this fast. That adds points in favor EG4.

If EG4 cells were not welded I would buy them. Only thing that draws me to SOK is if I have a bad cell I can swap it easy. All components are easy to swap on those. on the EG4 LL what would it take to change a cell? 5 to 10 years down the road maybe some cells might have issues.

Looking to put in a new system. Going with 6000XP. I like that SOK ability to service them. My place is way off grid in Baja Mex and could be really tough to ship back a complete battery. If the EG4 LL was serviceable I would stick with them. Has anyone had any issues with compatibility of the...

I really love this concept. so many redundancy. Even regenerate when sailing. Perhaps this is the future is hybrid. You have 2 generators or two direct drive motors. Or sails, or solar or even charge when sailing with regen. Wow im sold haha. This boat has two but I think one would still work...

Sorry for dumb question but in DC breakers what is the difference of 1,2 or 3 pole? In AC i know there are different voltage and phases but in DC thats no the case. example MNEPV30-600-2PP vs MNEPVRT30-600-3PP I know one has remote trip. I will have 3 strings of panles that are 600vdc at...

I live in a hot climate and when I had smaller AGm batteries I put in a chest chest freezer cracked open on a controller set to 77deg worked well. Thinking about doing the same with server rack batteries. Wonder if they were in a special rack mounted good if they could be stood up in their...

What's wrong with BMS to only view voltage? Charger and balancer can be turned off. I looked at that victron and I would have to buy 24 of them. Also prob wont work down to 1.75volts. Daly 24s BMS is only 100bucks or so. Not sure how it stores data per cell. I would love to see a chart with...

Im a BMS newbie so need some help here. I have 24 large 2volt AGM batteries. Looking for a plug and play system to Monitor voltage to each cell. Looking for Wifi so I can view on my PC remotely. Also log history is important. They batteries are old and some are going bad. If I can watch the...

I do that now in the LG app works great. All the AC in my house are on timers. Freezer and Fridge too. Tuya makes some nice 15amp wifi switches. Day time I have 26,000 watts to use so I freeze the house haha. Deep freezers on high. Then when sun goes down full conserve mode.

I would love 80deg but they spike up to 95-97 in the evenings when the ac is shut off. Problem too is the small enclosure holds in the heat. I have a small vent but does not really do it. I might put a good extractor fan to turn on automatic or put on a wifi control switch to pull air from...

Again nothing wrong. all day nice and cool. Im off grid so for 12-14 hours no AC. Different story if I had AC all night but that really cuts into the batteries. 6pm here is hot and humidity does make a difference even for batteries. All day I have 5 to 6 AC units running so the inverters are...

Pretty wild isn't it. I look at the solar panles on half my roof and running 5 air conditioners, internet, tvs, big aquariums, and much more. All from the sun hitting one little spot. Elon musk said only need 100 miles x 100 miles in nevada to power all of USA. And 1 square mile of batteries...
