    14.4 KW solar, 40.96 kWh backup, 2 solark 15k inverters, off grid family home, doable or delusional?

    I didn't fully read everyones reply... But let me add, with the well situation, you could go with a large storage tank, and "automate" the pump to fill your storage tank during the day, when your demand is lower and the sun is shining .. I think if you have the cleared ground space, and have...

    My parents are moving into a parked 50 amp RV inside 11 acres to be near my aging grandparents. Please help design their off grid solar system?

    RV's are the most in-efficient things on the planet, I had a friend living on my property for 6 months, summer to winter in Eastern NC.... So mainly AC use. between the 5Ton AC in my house, and My friends RV (2 AC units) we were averaging 100kwh days...... I would strongly suggest...

    EG4 3000EHV 48

    Any Electrical box will do, You are just combining The Positives and Negatives into a single pair ( I did mine AFTER my Solar DC Breakers)

    I combined mine at a junction box just after my DC breakers near my inverter

    EG4 6000XP Questions

    I have not seen the 3000ehv do that either.... If it needs the grid, It switches to Grid, Even On spikes, my will sometimes switch to Grid briefly, then return to battery

    EG4 6000XP Questions

    That is disappointing for sure.... I have the 3000ehv, and was considering my upgrade to be to replace it with a 6000XP, but maybe I'm better off Just paralleling 2 3000ehv's

    EG4 3000EHV 48

    Yes, I'm running 12 on each of my strings, then I combine.... my panels are (VOC): 37.1 V I average around 400v give or take.... per string

    EG4 3000 automation for Device Mode in Home Assistant

    For anyone Struggling with Home Assistant to manipulate The Output Source (option 01) it was pretty simple. I was struggling to make it work in Node Red. I was able to easily add some Automations to home assistant. What I was looking for was a way to keep the inverter from using the battery...

    Looking to extend my Solar Circuits to the main house

    Yes, Technically The EG4 3000EHV has a 5000W limit, But I am under Voltage and amperage specs, so I am just over paneled I am running ~445V (12) 37.1 VOC panels per string 2 Strings 8.31amps Per String

    Looking to extend my Solar Circuits to the main house

    The Inverter has a utility feed which already is utilized when needed (night / non producing days)

    Can you put a all in one inverter inside of large stand up fridge or freezer for installation in garage? It is cold here.

    32 – 113°F (0 – 45°C) I mean, they give off heat when running.... Do you plan to run it full time? I honestly think you will be fine (Inverter) I guess you could make a larger box around it to minimize the cold......... batteries you may want to enclose somehow to trap heat I work in...

    EG4 6500EX not useing all solar

    Missed that, But I was not searching for "Parallel" I was searching for "Split" and that requirement does not show up for split. Manual version 2.3.2

    EG4 6500EX not useing all solar

    Curious... Where did you find that? I could not find a requirement in the 3000EHV manual, or the 6500ex manual... I see where it shows Recommended battery capacity.... I Ask, because I had planned to do similar (2 3000EHv's in Split) with PV and Util inputs only
