I am just running a ground through my dry contacts. My generator just looks for a ground signal which makes it easy.

The 18k does the same thing, but if more load is requested then the setting it will go over it. I believe they are working on a update to allow the inverter to supplement the generator in a similar overload situation.

So this is exactly how my system is set up Dasos. Currently I have a 15kw generator going to 2 18k’s fully off grid. The way it currently works: Say you have a 10kw generator and you have it set to charge at 8kw (80%). The inverter will try and maintain that load. If your house is pulling 4kw a...

What ended up being the solution?

I went with 2 18kpv’s and 6 power pro batteries. Completely off grid and very happy with the setup.

Yes EG4 has released a new firmware that addresses the flickering.

Why do you need an extra inverter. The solark can run off grid by itself. That way you can use your same inverter but in off grid mode.

Not that I can remember but I can’t even remember last week lol.

That’s cool! I definitely miss it some days! My last 4 years I was in the army’s 21st EOD unit on Kirtland AFB. We specialized in Nuclear weapons, Very interesting indeed!

Haha no I was an army EOD guy, you would think since we all go to the same school I would know the AF code. I was in for 10 years, graduated from eglin dec of 2011.

I’m going to assume no since I don’t know what that is lol

Only time will tell, they have already experienced 30-40 mph gusts. Hopefully they will hold up but if not that’s what insurance is for.

I would definitely use the Sinclair rack if I was to do it over.

The 18k does not need a transfer switch. It will turn the generator on and off as it needs to. You just have to have a 2 wire start generator or start controller.

They are absolutely the weakest point, however I think they are plenty strong. Each hinge is only holding about 400 lbs of weight. I fully welded all the bends on the hinges also. They only way they can fail is by shear.
