@Markus_SignatureSolar ... any word on what FW's or if latest v22 or v23 fw will support parallel these 8k's together? (I'm sure my dad will be looking to do so at some point)

@stephenwolf2 , any chance you can post some pictures of where your CTs are installed and arrow direction ... And possibly what your setup /layout / configuration is? Trying to see if there's something that that is being overlooked with my dad's setup that may get it going (see here). Seems to...

Thanks for the reply. I believe he (John 4178) has sent you a message already and plans to reach out directly later this week.(health issues to deal with) ** Not sure what a good grid tie replacement would be at this point... Looks like it's either EG4 18Kpv or SolArk 12k/15k if they can swing...

Can't find anywhere to post this forum related/preferences question... Please move as appropriate. ('forum/site section?) Is there an option in my account/forum preferences that I am missing that will allow me to " jump to the first unread post" in a thread? If there is, I can't find it...

Interesting... PV1 & Pv2 strings have 2900w each of panels on them and it's hard to see much more than 3kw of total PV input at times on a sunny day. ... But I'm new to this and maybe don't fully understand what I'm seeing here

** Biggest issue at the moment with the EG4 8K is... (CTs towards Grid, Self Consume, Grid & PV & Batt/BMS connected) >> At night when, solar PV goes offline, the batteries do not charge from Grid without manually changing the mode from "Self Consume" to "Battery Priority".<< I spoke with...

I thought the same thing... The values the CTs are to determine Zero Export change significantly based on where they're placed... Mine are currently placed at the output of the 40A main panel breaker which means it's only trying to zero out what I'm pulling to the inverter's grid tie input...

Seems to be dialed in fairly well on Dad's 8k setup (v22 fw) as well ... Our EG4-8KEXP-240 (MegaRevo R8KLNA) Hybrid Inverter & EG4 LP4 Battery/PV Install

Seems to be dialed in fairly well on Dad's 8k setup (v22 fw) as well ... Our EG4-8KEXP-240 (MegaRevo R8KLNA) Hybrid Inverter & EG4 LP4 Battery/PV Install Anyone else try the v23 Fw and confirm what the fixes are if any/what's broken if anything on it?

Here's a roll up/update of everything ... Seems to finally be dialed in well on Dad's 8k setup (v22 fw) ... Our EG4-8KEXP-240 (MegaRevo R8KLNA) Hybrid Inverter & EG4 LP4 Battery/PV Install .

@potin Fyi... SigSolar was having a hard time when MR & the Zero Export issues apparently Fyi... Here's my dad's 8k setup/issue summary I helped him with (& SigSolar & this thread). - John4178/Mpgrimm2 EG4 8Kv Setup Post here and Grid Charge Issue here. And here's what appears to be our...

2x 2900w strings of Pv on home built rack (rated at 2910w, 314vdc/9.27A) Yep. Dead South, ~ 34° tilt. (~ 90ft run back to the house, which sits at 34.95° Lat. ). Rack has one series set of 8 on the right 1/2 and one set on the left 1/2. Looking at PV1 vs Pv2 around 2pm... I see a consistent...

Just for my own curiosity/learning, what values/data set are you looking at that show whether or not (and when) you're exporting to grid? (So I can keep an eye on dad's 8k unit)

Just to confirm... Those 2 readings should match up then? (Total of PV's 1-4 and "Total DC Input Power")

Dad's EG4 8k setup is on fw v22 which seems to be working fairly well now. No apparent issues with the 6x EG4 LifePower4 battery comms on our end (RS485 direct to 8k inverter... Haven't update battery fw yet). See 2 posts above for our setup.

I never thought about the fw on the dongle... How do you check it and how to update it? Not sure I have any instructions/info aside from the lines page or two in the EG4 manual

New info.... So has anyone picked up and tried the Eg4 standalone LifePower4 Automatic Updater dongle yet? https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-lifepower4-automatic-updater-dongle/ . Edit Found the other thread... Lifepower4 battery automatic updater

Anyone willing to clarify what's I see via the monitoring app as to why realtime graphic shows 540w of solar production ... But the device statistics at the same time shows 1110w of combined PV input? Why the difference? Where the rest going?
