It started with a shock from the metal conduit between the roof solar panels and the inverters. The conduit surface reads 170 volts AC., not good. There are two EG4 3000 hybrid inverters connected to a load panel split phase. and another sub-panel 60amp two phase breaker supplying grid power to...

Happy turkey day! Been doing the email dance with SS For 3WEEKS over a dead dongle, would have been cheaper to have just sent me a new one, as I requested. Yesterday Finally found the email address of the manufacturer, <zhengshengjie@eybond.com> , and they replied overnight, in Chinese...

so i have six panels at 370 watts. two of them are in partial shade at 3:30 pm. when my input goes from 1.6 kw to 800 kw. so I have tree trimmer here tomorrow. did not realize how much a little shade would do. if I had added those enphase modules, would it have fixed this? hopefully the tree...

EG4 3500 inverter question. I have five branch circuits to this inverter and one is a laundry room. There is also a 500 watt window AC on this circuit and if it is on, and I turn on the dryer, the inverter overloads and shuts down. My question is that if I put the window AC on a different little...

Does NEC have limits on how many wires can go into a load center knockout.?

4 hours trying to get this ffing EG4 software to work. went thru all the hoops and ended up with the dreaded " user name or password" bulls hit. I have inputted the same info 3 times

I have had my panels on my roof now for 2 months, now I have time to go back and ground them. Is the only reason to ground the frames lightning? We rarely get lightning where I live, but, better safe ............. Could I just pound a rebar down 4 feet and tie copper wire {16gauge}from the...

I had six 370 watt 10 amp 40 V panels in series and I added two 200 watt 10 amp 20V panels in series. I really don't see any improvement in the wattage output. they are only putting out about 1650 watts between 10 am and 3pm. Of course the complicating factor is the heat, it has been 20 degrees...

OK, I bought ten Solarever 370W ( SE-166 83-370m-120N ) half cell mono Perc panels two months ago. We installed six on the roof in series, feeding a EG43kw 48V off grid inverter and two EG4 Lifepower4 lithium batteries 48V 100AH.370 solarever panel These six panels never outputted more than...

Whenever I use my washing machine the ceiling lights blink, not only in the laundry room but in adjacent rooms that are on a separate branch circuit. The laundry room is on a twenty amp circuit fed by 12awg romex, and the washer is on a gfi plug. All the circuits originate in a load center fed...

I don't understand why this pv disconnect says 100amps, but only 65Vdc. my panels are putting out over 200 volts

Is there such a thing? need a temporary replacement that can handle a 1200watt compressor. l already sent three back, that were under $250.

I have six solarever 370 watt panels feeding an EG4 3000 inverter. The panels are on my roof (20% slope , no shading) connected to a shut off switch, then fifty feet of #10 wire to another shut off switch and inverter. The highest wattage Iv'e read off the inverter is 1.85 kw and the highest...

I had an outdoor plug stop working, then a tenant had his kitchen plugs go dead in his attached studio apartment. I figured it had to be a GFI problem. There is a eGFI plug in my other tenants bathroom that has flipped in the past. So I asked her if the plugs in her bathroom were working and she...

I want to install a 10 panel on the roof, no grid tie system on my house. But I don't want to get a permit, or rather I don't want an inspector poking around my property. It occurred to me that the panels will show up on google earth and the county might be watching. Has anyone heard of this...

I'm wanting to switch a well house to solar and replaced the old 220V submersible pump with a 110V Grundfos 2wire pump. the installer just used one leg of the existing 220v to power the new pump and it works fine. But I want to replace the 220v feed with 110v. The easiest way to modify the...

Two Eg4 3k inverters in parallel, finally switched from User to Li4 setting, and now four EG4 48volt batteries are charging half as fast! SS. says the BMS is dictating charge and there is nothing i can do about it. Not one to take NO for an answer, does anyone have a workaround ? I have 8...

Should i replace two EG 3K INVERTERS with a EG6000XP AIO or wait for something better? Is it that much more efficient and better at communicating as the promo states. Or has someone heard of a better AIO in the pipeline? I need to decide today for last day of free shipping.

Just obtained four new Canadian Solar 430 watt bi-facial panels with several hairline cracks on the back side, the fronts are in mint condition. I have read some older posts that mention using clear epoxy to seal the cracks. Does anyone have successful experience with this method or another and...

I moved two circuits from a subpanel into a load panel, and after two months of working fine, one of the circuits went dead on Christmas eve. The load panel is fed by a EG4 3000W inverter and two EG4 48v battery packs. I checked all of the five receptacles and found no loose wires. Replaced the...

I have two solar setups at 110V, and I want to create a 220V circuit for a mini-split that I am adding. The inverters and batteries are at opposite ends of my building. I would like to avoid moving them together, just to get one 220V circuit. This diagram shows the basic setups. If I could find...

Here is a diagram of my planned set up. The inverter manual calls for the 60 amp breaker in from the grid and the 30 amp breaker in the load panel. siemens THQ breakers. So I googled the slimline breakers and they should be fine, I still don't see how a 60amp breaker fed by a 40amp breaker...

Anyone in the area buying batteries or panels or whatever from Signature Solar? Looking for someone to split shipping costs with me. I am only buying one battery pack and some misc. mounting hardware. Unfortunetly you have to pay for a pallet { min. $400. } so shipping six batteries cost the...

am switching my submersible pump from 240volts to 110volts, there is an existing 240 shut off box that also has the wiring for my two float valves inside. I am trying to find a replacement box that is set up for 110, but can't find one at the usual suspects (amazon, HD). Does anyone know where I...

EG4 3000 dongle headache. Tried for days to get this thing working on my first inverter with no success. Started again with a second same inverter and no luck. I concluded that this Smart ESS app does not work with android phones or is it just my phone? Has anyone ever got it to work on an...

What is the proper torque for panel hold down bolts mid clamp and end clamp with the metal grounding nut?

looking for a high seer unit at a good price!

I have 4 two year old EG4 100AH batteries connected via 600amp busbar to two EG4 3k inverters. Need to know the right way to add 4 Ruixu 100AH Batteries with server rack to the system. I am ordering 2/0 cable , but not sure if it should connect from new busbar to existing busbar or to one of...

I just realized that I am paying $8 a day for natural gas from my furnace to keep my house at 66 degrees. The mini-split should only use 4 amps at 220V or 800 watts/hour. If it is on for ten hours a day that equals 8kw/day times .36/kw equals $2.88/day vs. $8./day. So if I just leave the...

Looking at Rescom panel roof mounts for a standard pitch asphalt shingle roof with Solarever 365 Watt panels. They would save me a lot of money in metal railing, but are they up to code? I live in central California, so we don't get snow or hurricanes, just earthquakes, which we are way overdue...
