Thanks EG4_Jarrett !

Near White Marsh

I do appreciate all the responses, but not sure we've gotten any further. My query started because when running on the batteries my light blink. The eg4 docs for the rack say to ground the rack. EG4_Jared say's don't ground the rack to the inverted. SS said the same thing - don't ground to...

I'm waiting on the delivery of an EG4 18k with 2 PowerPro WallMount batteries. I want to use my Champion Generator for cloudy days. Signature Solar is recommending that instead of using the 18K generator connection that I parallel the PowerPro batteries using a Lynx Distributer and their...

The more I read posts on grounding the more confusing it gets. According to the EG4-LL-S battery docs you just need to ground the cabinet. If the batteries are already grounded to the cabinet by bolting the ears and I then also use the ground screws on the battery will it matter that I'm...

I have 3 EG4-LL-S batteries in an EG4 rack and 1 EG4 18KPV. I'm ground the batteries together with their ground screws and then to the rack. My question is can I then ground the rack and batteries to the 18kpv, to the house ground to to its own separate ground?

Not an expert on this, but I believe the chargeverter output DC and gen terminals expect AC.

Can I use the output from a EG4-18KPV-12LV and EG4 PowerPro wall mount battery for a NEMA 14-50R outlet? I want to back feed to my 200amp panel with an interlock. Also, can I use a NEMA 14-30 outlet for the AC input to help charge batteries from my gas generator. I know the EG4 can connect to...

Yes, these are the adjustable version, purchase in December. I'm not sure how to arrange shipping at a reasonable cost, but might be willing to share some of the expense for someone wanting all 5.

First, thank you to everyone that have responded to my previous posts. It great to have so many knowledgeable people willing to help. I'm working with my electrician to connect an EG4 18k hybrid inverter using Diagram 4.4 in the EG4 manual. I plan to disable back feeding in the inverter, but...

Thanks pvgirl - I have a few additional questions. The EG4-18KPV-12LV can surge to 15500. Is that surge rating for 120 or 240V? Even at 240V that's > 60A. If I used a 50A breaker wouldn't that trip anytime I went over 12KW? One reseller suggested a 60A breaker, but that didn't sound right...

Hi - I have two questions concerning my EG4 18kpv and EG4-LL batteries. 1) Is there a way to see the remaining kwh's? Can I multiply the %charge x kwh\battery x #batteries? 2) how do I confirm the system see's all 3 batteries? I don't see a place where it actually lists a count or total Amp...

Hi - I've gotten different information about connecting my battery rack with 3 EG4-LL batteries to my eg4 18kpv. First suggestion - run 1 set of 2/0 cables from the battery rack to inverter. Seems straight forward. Second suggestion - run 2 sets of 2/0 cables from battery rack to inverter...

8k

Did anyone find any additional information on these mounts as far a stress calculations? I have 5 and my PE won't sign off on them without additional info.

Hi - I want to connected my 18k to power the house with batteries and supplement with grid, but do NOT want to back feed the grid. Is this possible without using a setting on the inverter? I'm sure the utility company would want this down with hardware.

Not sure what "Put the inverter cables on each side of the battery connection." means. Is that the same as what you said in the first sentence? I've watched dozens of videos and read many articles about connecting the 18kpv but never someone using both battery connections. What is the...

Hi - I want to be able to use my 6000XPs to power most loads but still relay on grid power when needed and to help keep my batteries charge. I think the diagram below will allow my to use solar, with grid backup and to switch back to all grid if needed. This is 2 6000XPs and dI intentionally...

8k actually handles everything we need, especially in the winter as we heat with wood\propane. I just wanted to confirm that the preferred method of connect6ing my smallish generator was paralleling with the batteries and not using the gen port on the 18k.

Something like this?

I have 5 EG4 BrightMount Solar Panel Ground Mount Rack Kits still in the boxes. Hoping for $210 each. Make an offer.

EG4_Jared - can you clarify that? Do you mean you shouldn't ground both AC and DC together? Both my GRID and LOAD are using the 18k PE bar? I need to know where it's recommend to ground the EG4 rack. Am I safe just having it's own ground or use the existing house ground. EG4 really needs...

Hi BentleyJ - I just wasn't sure how to draw the transfer switch. How's this?

Sorry, but no
