Regarding the "quick charge", thanks for this tip about setting it to AC Charge by time instead of SOC. It worked, charging the powerpro at ~5400 watts. It would be nice if the tech support at SS knew all the ins and outs of this. They are very nice and try to find answers, but I think they...

Spoke with Signature Solar about quick charge not working. The 18k needed a firmware update. After that update, quick charge DID work, but it is at a low current, only charging 560w instantaneously. Since quick charge is only for 1 hour, that is hardly going to get us close to full if a bad...

Any further ideas on this for the EG4 18k with powerpro? I have the exact same situation. Wondering how to go into "storm" mode or "emergency backup" ahead of expected bad weather. I leave 20% on my battery, so I could change the SOC discharge settings and only turn on lights, that would last...

Nothing. Knowing what it is, and that at some point, we'll replace the pump motor eases my concern. If the family complains, I could relocate the cabin sub-panel off the load panel. The main service panel fed by the grid has a lot more "oomph" behind the voltage to stabilize it when heavy...

I have the EG4 with power pro battery setup for about a month or so. My utility will let me push power back but won't give me a favorable rate. I have found that it is best to let The inverter push it back so that it doesn't throttle down the PV production, then keep tabs of how much you're...

Any updates on this thread? I also find the "quick charge button" to say it's working but then it's not actually working. I have the inverter setup to self usage mode with the power pro battery.

Figured this one out. We have a sub panel to a cabin on the loads and when the jet water pump kicks on, it pulls enough to lower the voltage for a quick sec. The water pump makes a lot of noise but it is an exterior cabin, so I didn't notice it and make the connection. The pump pulls 10...

Hi, I'm two days into a new install of an EG4 18k with the EG4 powerpro wall mount battery. Seems to be working smoothly, but I (and more importantly my family) have noticed that the lights (mostly LED) dim briefly when the system is running off the battery. It might only be at night with no...
