    Multiple grounding rods for solar panel install and electrical devices?

    I've been curious about my own grounding for quite some time now. I've just put together a little diagram to show what my setup looks like. I have panels mounted on my roof with a grounding wire running back to my utility service panel. My utility service panel is feeding (and grounded to) my...

    Is the EG4 6500EX considered clean power?

    I'm actually using the BMS (using SoC instead of voltage). Any chance you'd be willing or available to chat on Discord or something at some point? Some of this stuff is hard to follow in text. No worries if not!

    Is the EG4 6500EX considered clean power?

    Are you able to advise which settings to check for this? I can confirm that the batteries are all at the same state of charge and the cables are the same length and size.

    Is the EG4 6500EX considered clean power?

    I would be fine if the UPS did that only at those times, but I was seeing mine switch over ~250 times a day. Switching it from that outlet to the other brought that down to 3 or 4 times a day. I'm going to try switching that outlet with a new one (outlet is close to 50-60 years old) and seeing...

    Is the EG4 6500EX considered clean power?

    I have my entire house running off of two EG4 6500EX inverters with 4 EG4 LiFePower 4 batteries. I've started noticing some issues that may or may not be related to the inverter. I'm hoping someone here can help me identify the issue. 1. I started noticing my lights flicker every so often (only...

    Wire Gauge for 2x 6V 220Ah in Series?

    Hi everyone. My friend has a pop-up trailer and I've been helping him install a solar setup. He bought a couple Renogy panels, a 60A charge controller, and a 12V 200Ah battery. The trailer itself has two 6V 200Ah batteries in series in the front of the trailer. It looks like the wires they're...

    System for Rockwood Popup Camper?

    The FLA batteries are two 6V 220Ah batteries in series for 12V 220Ah, same as what I'm doing for the lithium stuff. Still going to go LiFePo. I found out today that the existing AC is only connected to shore power, so I suggested buying a 5000 BTU window AC unit and plugging it into a 2000W...

    System for Rockwood Popup Camper?

    I don't know which Renogy MPPT charge controller to go with yet, but the 50A one my dad has in his Jeep will charge the alternator battery separately from the LiFePo house battery. Is that a better way to do it?

    System for Rockwood Popup Camper?

    I appreciate the input. I told him that I recommend he go on a small, close-by trip first to get a feel for what he actually uses and how much power he consumes. The lead acid are the camper batteries that the truck charges up when connected. You're suggesting replacing it entirely with the...

    System for Rockwood Popup Camper?

    I'm looking for suggestions on sizing and setup for a popup camper solar and battery system. I am helping my friend design a system for his new 20-foot popup camper (pictured below). He and his wife will be travelling in it for extended periods of time so they want to add solar to it. I've...

    I owe you all of the beers. Your suggestions in the other thread to set 2P2 to use took care of 61. All set now!

    EG4 6500EX: Firmware Fail, Error 32

    Is this the EXE for updating the display? I tried running 'Update DSP' but it said dsp.hex couldn't be found.

    EG4 6500EX: Firmware Fail, Error 32

    @w8dev So display firmware first, then the inverter firmware, then the 32 goes away? How do you actually update the display firmware?
