  • what size and type of fuse does the 6500ex use? a friend reversed the polarity on the battery input, blowing his fuse. would like to get a replacement the same size. I had an old 70amp fuse I had from a server battery pack I had salvaged cells from, and the inverter is functioning fine, but I would like to get the proper fuse installed in it. thank you for your time.

    Select between 15.6A and 40A

    thanks for the advice, but that is in no way accurate this is the main dc fuse that runs the inverter. 40 amp would only be good for 2048watts at 100% efficiency
    I just noticed that the New Firmware Update Guide you posted is not on the EG4 website. You should upload it there. @SignatureSolarJames

    Hi Ben, Can you tell me if the EG4 6500 can share a common conductor on the PV- inputs? My arrays are 600' away and I have an unused ungrounded 4/0 conductor. Hoping I can use it for PV- for two arrays.

    You can parallel up to 3 strings or 36Amps per inverter, at the 400v range you can carry a huge amount of power with a wire that size

    Thanks Ben. So you don't see any issue with connecting the two PV- terminals together at 6500 and 600' away at solar? Would you also parallel the PV+ terminals and run one PV+ conductor, or run separate PV+ conductors?. My concern was raised after seeing Will's video on shock hazard,
    Appreciate your opinion!
    I've been trying to get an issue with the EG4 6000ex figured out for 3 1/2 weeks now. Hannah took all pics and spec. Then it got sent to tier 2. Still hasn't been seen in 10 days. Spent over an hour on hold today with no response. The charge controller constantly drops into a state of float when the batteries are nowhere near full.
    Hi, Ben
    Does stacking 2 EG4 3000 to get 120/240 double the output power as well?

    Yes sir. You can get up to 6000W of inverting power by stacking the units

    Hi, Ben
    I'm trying to decide which inverter to use. I have determined that I have room for a maximum number of panel to 20. Budget wise I'm trying to start with 10 400W Q Cells. I have gas water and heating. Electric double oven, cooktop, 3ton AC and Dryer. I don't think I'll be able to power whole house. I have 13 - 20amp circuits. I'm thinking EG4 3000 or EG4 6500.
    Hi Ben - Can you tell me if the Growatt SPF 8000T DVM-MPV listed on your website is in stock and will it work with the Lifepower4 batteries without any hassles?

    (1) Growatt SPF 8000T DVM-MPV
    (4) 48V LIFEPOWER4 batteries
    (1) Pre built 6 space rack
    (1) 84" AWG wires to inverter
    (4) 6 AWG wires for batteries
    (1) Battery Comm Cable

    Unfortunately that is not a question that I am fully comfortable answering on an open forum with limited information. However, there are many capable people here that would likely help you out if you post this question as an open thread.

    Do you know if there is firmware from SS to get the Lifepower4 to work with the solark15k

    No, there isn't as of yet. But we are currently working on a CAN hub that will have built in communication protocols for communication between those two items. You should see this available by the first of the year

    Is the CAN hub available now?
