Neither. Us water heaters only energize one element at a time. Top element for rapid recovery of a cold tank, and lower element for...

W = Vsquared/R 4500 = 240 squared/R then R = 57,600/4500 R = 12.8 ohms: when 2 are connected in series its 25.6 ohms. 120V = I x...

Inverter is Axpert VMiii 4kw with one MPPT input. Thanks for the tips.

Filter bag is probably the easiest. Of course its a trade off between flow rate and pore size as to the percentage of stuff removed vs...

Simple solution, 1) Use an All-in-One type inverter with 2 independent MPPT inputs (1 for each array) 2) Use an AoI inverter with only...

Standby??

I use this style, they are made for this: https://www.midnitesolar.com/productPhoto.php?product_ID=729&productCat_ID=16&sortOrder=1&act=p

Let me guess you already bought all the stuff for this EG4 set up and now you’re figuring out how to make the two systems play together?

Industry protectionism lol. It's like the bible, it's vague, expansive, and open to interpretation on purpose.

If the new EG4 system is set up in the garage with a new breaker panel and run as an independent system then that will work. You can...

Since you already have an Enphase system with Enphase batteries?, its a proprietary system, not sure its going to mix well with an EG4...

maybe, but if using EG4 6000XP and 2 fedback breakers, mixing the hots screws things up. Just being consistent then with the main...

Follow up note. Take a look at HyperEngineering Soft Starters. They are good quality but cost a little less then Micro-Air as they don't...

Someone added an aftermarket Hard Start kit (extra capacitor and relay) one has to wonder why? Looks like an older condenser unit, did a...

26.8V corresponds to 3.35V per cell. This is the normal resting voltage after charging has stopped, or a load is placed on the batteries...

Right, my mistake. I think the other portion of my post is still valid. The XW doesn't have the capability to and never will bond ground...

In my opinion, the topic of coupling a solar system with a SmartHome system receives far too little attention. There is still a lot of...

This is leading me to believe the battery is dead or the BMS is receiving no current from the battery. Checking battery voltage at the...

If the inverter was pulling too much current and the BMS shut off due to Over Current Protection one would expect a warning code. If...

It helps if you think about the system in terms of the individual components and how to best protect them from short circuits that would...
