    EG4 18K - Air Conditioning won’t run without grid

    I'm watching this with interest because this has always been my question with all of these newer hi frequency inverters. Starting large inductive loads consistently, time and again, for several years. Perhaps it has nothing to do with the load, but it will be interesting how this thread plays out.

    Would that be because the MidNite Product would have features systems that would not sell back do NOT need ... or because of Costs?

    Midnite Solar Announced their new 10kw AIO at Intersolar Today

    I wonder if the midnight unit will be capable of running as an off-grid inverter, with grid interactivity as an option if a person chose not to do any export at all

    Midnite Solar Announced their new 10kw AIO at Intersolar Today

    This is exactly what I'm hoping for in the new Midnite unit. An inverter that will be highly customizable for grid interaction without export. But one that does it well with out concern for even the slightest bit of export ... Down to a few watts. My PoCo showed up at my door one Monday after...

    Okay so today's test. I created one scene to turn one unit on at 81° f. Then I created a second scene to be triggered when the unit came on to set eight different parameters. The scene that triggered the unit on was set to greater than 80°, and it worked and the unit came on at 81. But the...

    But, I just had it performed this group of three no problem. So maybe it's intermittent with the on command. Like you should set "NO" first and then leave a minute and then set multiple commands

    Help me Install 3 EG4 Mini Split Solar Heat Pumps

    Well I just confirmed it works with a single time command, and it turned two units on. So it appears it will work with 1 IF condition and 2 THEN conditions. At least for time, I don't have the patience to sit around and wait for the temperature to drop

    I have nine conditions for two different units in my "if the temperature gets to 79°" statement. But I think I just figured out why it didn't work. I had it set to equal to, you can also set it to greater than or less than. So I'm going to try less than is the temperature starts to fall again

    There is nothing wrong with the SW4048 and MN solar classic 150. The SW is a beast as long as it is large enough for your needs and the classic will change any thing provided you do not exceed it's solar input ratings. I would suggest when you design you array, use the midnite solar...
