I was just thinking of doing this as well for my house. I have been very happy with using the EG4 6000XP as an off grid inverter at our camp but haven't tested it in a "grid tied" inverter application. There are several members on this site that have tho. You should find them pretty easy by searching "EG4 6000XP" and see who shows up.

The 6kxp is an off grid AIO. It's not capable of "grid-tied" functionality.
There were earlier discussions about it being upgraded for it. But, those discussions didn't seem to continue.

6kxp has grid tie functionality last time I checked. When did that change? lol

The 6kxp has proven to be pretty popular.
I don't think that there have been any complaints. (That didn't end up being user error)

Page 41 describes several working modes. "Bypass and PV Bypass" modes allow for grid AC input. I guess I'm completely confused by what you are referring to as a non grid tied inverter. These inverters can pull power from the grid to charge the battery banks, power the load with PV input, or a number of other combinations. Can you at least elaborate on your responses?

"Grid tie" typically implies the ability to simultaneously merge grid and solar and/or sell back.

Got it. My apologies. I guess I was thinking timselectric was saying it couldn't support any grid input.

Yes, you are confusing "grid-tied" with grid backup.
Grid-tied,
pushes all power to the grid. And relies on the grid to function.
Off grid,
Stands on its own (with battery). Off grid AIO's can charge from the grid or pass the grid through to the loads. But cannot export power to the grid.
Hybrid,
Combines the functions of grid-tied and off grid.

Good video.
The only mistake that I seen. Was that he said to only move the hots of the circuits to the new panel.
The neutrals must also be moved.
All current carrying conductors of a circuit must travel together.
