    Looking for EG4 3 Slot Battery Rack

    Thanks much, I was able to get a returned unit from Signature Solar, a few scratches, but I don't care. Hopefully it ships this week.. As for the discontinued remarks. It seems a miss-communication from EG4 - Technically it is discontinued, but they are not re-inforcing with the suppliers a new...

    Looking for EG4 3 Slot Battery Rack

    Only issue with the PowerPro is EG4 will not honor any warranty if you mix this with existing battery system. It's a proprietary setup for only that battery.. :(

    Looking for EG4 3 Slot Battery Rack

    I want them to be the exact same height as my current 3 rack EG4 since I'm running conduit between them over a short distance. I'm mounting a wireway on top of them both with backer board for my inverter and load centers. See Photo for my 'dry run' version... :) I'm using for this new build two...

    Looking for EG4 3 Slot Battery Rack

    Need the EG4 3 slot battery rack. Specifically need the smaller rack for a build. Signature Solar reps say it's discontinued. Contacted EG4 directly, they tell me sometime after new year, then talked to Signature Solar representative, and manager said they just won't carry it if EG4 makes it...

    EG4 Enclosed Battery Rack 3 Slot with wheels (MSP/ MN)

    Same boat, need 3 slot version. Signature Solar reps say it's discontinued. Contacted EG4 directly, they tell me sometime after new year, then talked to Signature Solar representative, and manager said they just won't carry it if EG4 makes it. Which makes no sense. Are they not the same...

    Solar assistant: do you use it?

    I use it because it gives me some control over my usage. Unlike you, I live where shade is horrible, so I needed a system that could add some extra reporting and functionality to my EG4 3k inverter.. It's software is crap, and Solar Assistants Power tab adds abilities you just wouldn't otherwise...

    Eg4 3000 watt V2 inverter LifePower4 battery (no screen) and Solar Assistant

    SA does NOT show you all of the options for solar charging. Options 43. 44 and 45 with the EG4 3k need to be set. 43 is Switch to Utility % (I put at 20% - as low as it would go) and 44 is for when to Switch to Battery. I set to minimum of 60% - Not sure why that is.. I was watching another...

    Connecting Solar Assistant to EG4 Lifepower batteries

    I'm using SA with EG4 3000-48V inverter and three Lifepower4 batteries and EG4 Comm Hub.. If you can use EG4 Comm hub, you get best of both worlds. I plugged my SA into the last port in the battery chain, and set batteries to sequence 1,2, and 3 (Hub is 0 in this case) Since the HUB is master...

    Sol-Ark 15k and two EG4-LL Racks

    Why? So I could treat each rack separately. why not take advantage of them having 2 battery hookups?
