EG4 12Kpv Prototype at Intersolar

I know this is an older thread , but I am hoping that they design it to be able to communicate /parallel with the 18kpv. I imagine myself wanting to expand my PV a bit and also inverter capacity in the future, but another 18kpv is overkill.
Unlikely
When paralleling units, they are usually require to be the same.

It would be nice but I wouldn’t hold your breath on that option. They haven’t ever enabled the ability to parallel two inverters that are different models.
 
The 18 kpv will likely be enough for me, but it would be nice if eg4/lux power made add on charge controllers that had a couple mppts built in. Then hook it to whatever luxpower aio you have via com cable and they would sync up. 22kw of panels will probably do the job on the 18kpv, but Oregon winters......
 
So how do they get 12K out of that? It has a 8KW AC output, and from what I can tell, 2 x 5KW PV inputs rated at 600V each.

Would be interested to see what their price target and release date is.
Could it be the surge rating just before the magic smoke is released, or did they just round up? 10kpv is so boring.... Doesnt all of those dirt cheap SRNE inverters put out 10kw? They could make this look like a bad value.

Will this unit come with firmware in alpha release? If so hopefully they will include an Ethernet port so a router can be connected for better internet connectivity for daily firmware updates.
Or has EG4 learned from the 18kpv "experience"?

SRNE 10Kw per unit, a pair is 20Kw.

Not as cheap as at first, price increased $420 per unit to $1299. Still, 20Kw for $2600.

To my newbie eye these two units have a lot of space that is not used for anything inside.
Is there any reason for them to be designed like that?

I remember seeing on MultiPlus UL version thread how the wiring compartment needs to be larger for the U.S.

That amount of gutter space, isn’t that extreme given the size of wires that have to land in there. Especially the battery wires.
