    IntegraRack: Ground Mount with Epoxy Ground Stakes and Ballast Options

    I have been on eyeing the brightmount for a while. I initially planned on building a footing with lumber and weighing it all down with rocks or sandbags, but this mount removes the need for the lumber. For me, personally, that is a plus. The video is pretty clear on assembly but doesn't go into...

    EG4 6500EX not charging from grid

    Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant to ask how are you using your chargeverter? Are you plugged into a wall outlet or are you using a gas generator?

    EG4 6500EX not charging from grid

    I actually don't have a dryer outlet in this house. I have a gas dryer so it runs on a standard 15A outlet. In the future, I will run 240V from the main breaker panel to the inverter pair. Yes, no fault code. I am guessing it just falls back to battery/solar, as you mentioned. I actually do...

    EG4 6500EX not charging from grid

    EG4 6500EX not charging from grid

    Thanks @Adam De Lay I was aware of these settings and they have been the settings that I have been playing around with trying to get it to pull from grid. I just tried changing them again just to see if it made any difference. Option 1 was set to USB. I changed that to SUB. Option 16 was set...

    EG4 6500EX not charging from grid

    The last month was extremely cloudy and solar production was almost non-existent. That depleted my EG4 LL v2 batteries down to 10%. I mostly run this as an off-grid system, but have hooked up a power cord to the AC IN in case for situations like this. The first and only time I have ever...

    EG4 LL V2 screen SOC accuracy

    Many thanks again @mountkay. Your suggestions really stirred me in the right direction and refreshed my memory of all the posts that I read through. I just wanted to add that aside from the suggestions you mentioned, in case anyone else is facing the same issues, I also used a torque...

    EG4 LL V2 screen SOC accuracy

    I bought the two EG4 6500EX and six EG4 LL V2 batteries in the kit offered by Signature Solar in order to get closed communication but despite having read through all of the threads on here and upgrading to the latest firmware for the inverters, I am still getting error 61. I switched setting 5...
