Are there any power conditioners or something that can assist with a commercial refrigerator compressor causing lights to flicker and flicker bad. Narrowed it down to the refrigerator and potentially the ice maker. Same circuit, in the garage. 18kpv is running the entire home. When on line...

I’m posting this as a placeholder for my for sure much longer post tomorrow when they don’t do what they said they were going to do for weeks now. I’m giving one more opportunity for my call with them that we have sorta scheduled since they refuse to call me after saying “we don’t want you on...

Have good coms between SA and inverter. Batteries are communicating fine (Seplos - JK BMs) with the 6000xp. However, would enjoy seeing the individual cell voltages, etc from having the batteries communicate with SA. Is this possible? I have a EG4 Coms Hub (I also have LifePower batteries)...

I have an 18pkv that is installed outside of a garage. We have installed two EG4 Battery Racks with 12 100ah EG4 LifePower4 batteries. Having an issue getting the batteries to communicate with the inverter. They are all installed correctly and addressing set. This is from the 18pkv...

Decent sized 21kw system we are currently installing in a buddies home. Generac installed and setup for a second 18kpv if needed. Panels are halfway mounted on separate garage 100’ away. Waiting on brackets to install another 10kw.

After three months, I’ve received my order. Will update here to show the progression. -(6) Apexium 280ah enclosures -(96) Grade A 280ah Eve cells -active balancing added (working on pictures, have to resize them all for the forum)

I have two 6000xp's on the way. I will be eliminating a defective 6500ex and replacing one more. From the literature, I do not see where it is clear on how to parallel the legs together from the two inverters. Meaning, each leg is 3,000w per inverter. So L1 from both inverters in parallel...

Saw this pop up on a website. Anyone have any experience? Hard for me to get away from EG4 or building your own, but worth a shot at $1299 https://aolithium.com/products/51-2v-100ah-server-rack-lithium-lifepo4-battery

Not brand new to the inverter world but this is a first for me. Already sent @SignatureSolarJarrett a message, but have one of my EG4 6500ex units Backfeeding power through AC input. With this the unit is now making wining sounds and is constantly going into F8 (bus overage) protection. First...

Most of us have probably seen Will’s review of the new EG4 6000xp by LuxPower. However, I have a few questions that weren’t quite clear to me. While the unit has surge capacity to 12kw, he said something about no surge capability on one leg only. While in use two 6500ex units now, one unit...

Starting a 50 panel install for a friend in South Carolina. Will update as we progress through. Install is facing due south and it was designed to be able to tilt to different angles. We are using an 18k inverter from EG4, running about 350ft. I increased the required wire size to 8awg and...

Looking for assistance in understanding if a power optimizer is needed or warranted here. I have an EG4 6500ex (two MPPT inputs). I have one string running at 5kw (300v / 16a). I have another string I'm looking to install but can only install 15 panels on the southwest facing side of my...

I've seen a few low cost testing equipment with MC4 connectors that test PV output of solar panels. I've seen a few variant with 400w, 800w, and 1600w editions. It looks like it will provide VOC, max watt output, etc. Are these worth the $75-125 they cost? Is there better equipment...

Just wanted to share I found a cheap product to help with those that are getting power back from the micro-usb to the Solar Assistant. While it hasn't damaged the unit through the USB port it prohibits the unit from rebooting should it lose power for any reason. It's plugged into a circuit...

I've looked around and found a few people asking something similar, but it seems most people have the intent of replacing their main utility feed to go "off-grid". I want the ability to select circuits that I can move over to my inverter(s) to provide power via my solar setup / batteries. I...

Looking for some recommendations. About to start a decent sized install for a friend. There are several large oak trees on her property which is going to cause some issues for the ground array we are installing. We are looking at 16kw array and the best place to install is roughly 420' away...

I have a 6500ex that was set to charge the batteries below a certain SOC through Solar Assistant. However, I had the max AC current set too high and it tripped the breaker that I was feeding the inverter with. When I woke up this morning the batteries were showing 1% SOC but the inverter was...

Good evening community -- I have two strings of 8 panels in series, roughly 230v per string. I have each of those strings paralleled together to go into MPPT_1 on the 6500ex. - However, after adding the second string, I've noticed the amps really have not increased -- maybe slightly from just...

I've read the changelogs, "1. Add N-G relay control function. The setting 42 to disable, the relay will short input and output neutral always as following “C” block. The setting 42 is disable, the relay will close on ground or floating side when inverter work in Battery mode as following “A and...

I have a current rack with two EG4 batteries installed. I have another two arriving on Tuesday. What is the best way to charge the two new ones to 100% before putting them in the rack? If I should buy a 48v charger, any recommendations?

Anyone have a good source for IronRidge mounting? I live on the east coast (South Carolina) and the shipping options from some of these websites for a few rails is absolutely ridiculous. $750 shipping for a $400 purchase of rails is absurd. Thanks in advance!

EG4 6500ex with two EG4 48v 100ah LiFePo4 batteries will be delivered in three days. Just installed the first sheet of concrete board with a 10 circuit “solar” sub panel. Have received two pallets of panels from SanTan but haven’t installed them yet. It’s on the agenda. All 10 circuits have...

Good evening. i have a MPPT 100/30 controller installed on my 5th wheel camper with a SmartShunt. It's the Solar Flex 400i package from Keystone. I have added a Cerbo GX and I'm trying to utilize the system, replacing the stock inverter with an Ampvint 3000w inverter which allows me to run it...

Good evening. I have a mobile setup that has Victron equipment, MPPT controller, Cerbo GX and a SmartShunt on the batteries. I, however, do not have a Victron inverter, but instead have a Ampvint inverter. I want my VRM to show me loads though. Is it possible to install another SmartShunt...

Not sure I’ve seen anyone review these batteries yet. Any idea? Looks like $50 cheaper than Redodo, but has good (albeit probably paid) reviews.

I recently purchased a 5th wheel (Keystone) with a SolarFlex 400i system pre-installed. Essentially, the kit comes with 400watt's of total panels, Victron SmartShunt, Victron MPPT 100/30 and 200ah worth of lead acid batteries. There is a 2000 watt inverter with ATS installed, on the 110v...
