    6000xp filters?

    This might have been posted somewhere, but I didn't find it any my searching. Has anyone found a good filter media for this device to keep the garage dust out of it or minimize it at least? Thanks,

    This did indeed solve it. I made cables with just pins 1-5 and this problem went away.

    Anyway to get Solar Assistant Battery info when EG4 LL in BMS mode?

    Thank you so much for this. So with the LL-S V4 and the LL V2 Batteries I had to do the following: Couldn't get them to work with just 4/5 on the Battery Coms connections. So had to hook up 1/2 4/5 and that got all 5 batteries (2 LL-S V4 and 3 LL V2) talking to the inverter with the battery...

    Anyway to get Solar Assistant Battery info when EG4 LL in BMS mode?

    Did something change with the latest firmware? I set the first battery to id 64, unplug all battery com cables, and well as all RS485 cables, turn off the breaker and cycle the BMS. Then hold the enter button below the LCD for 5 seconds (did way longer as well) and never get the screen to set...

    6000XP Charging Question

    I have been really pleased with the Chargeverter. I just wish I could change charging AMPs remotely, and monitor output, but works great on gen or grid.

    6000XP won't talk to EG4-LL

    I just did this over the weekend. Updated 3 batteries to the latest firmware, set dip switches to 1, 2, 3 batteries are set to EG4 and inverter is set to EG4. Everything is working. Make sure you use the Orange cable (at least that was the color my inverter came with)

    New EG4 6000XP Install

    Got mine installed this last weekend. Talking about security, is there anyway to either turn off the SSID broadcast or set a password for it? As it is anyone and their mom running the EG4 app on their phone can connect to that wifi from the device and change the config. I can't see any place...

    Solar Assistant (Possibly) Voids Warranty on EG4 Inverters?

    I agree I have an LVX6048WP and if I use the micro USB port my SA Raspi continues to receive power after I unplug it from the power supply. If I use the serial cable it shuts off immediately, so some cheap design of the control board is pushing power back out the usb port on the inverter.

    I use Solar Assistant to read info from my EG4 V2 batteries, anywhere I have Internet. You could us a small tablet or old phone to have it up on screen all the time.

    EG4 6000XP Released, ordered. Let's Go!

    Anyone with this unit running Solar Assistant? How does it compare to the online system? Wanted to see how to get data from inverter to Home Assistant, one way is SA, another would be a lux power module someone has written... If you use SA do you lose access to the cloud data?

    Emergency Power Backup design review

    Looking for feedback on this design. We live in an area where we can lose power for 2-3 days from time to time. So the main design of this is to provide backup of critical loads, a few light circuits, fridge, freezer, gas furnace fan etc. Batteries will last about 24 hours on the load, solar...
