    Solar Assistant (Possibly) Voids Warranty on EG4 Inverters?

    Regarding the possibility of stray 32v being sent to the EG4 6000ex/6500ex’s display through the USB to RS232 voltronic cable, would it be possible to just disable the 5v pin on the cable? I am not sure if SA/inverter comms require the 5v to work or not. I read that some 3d printers have...

    EG4 6000EX parallel Error 72 only during peak solar

    I am plagued with a current sharing fault. Had a single unit running for over a year. Just added a 2nd parallel 6000ex and it ran great for a week until the sun came out with some intensity. I have two arrays (one per 6000ex), each max at about 210v at 3.7k before it will fault with error 72...

    Can you limit the PV power that enters on to the inverter?

    Do you have an update on the error 72 issue?

    Parallel Easun inverter with extra mppt error 72

    Was this issue ever solved? I am having the exact same problem with two EG4 6000ex inverters running in parallel. When my solar production exceeds 4k on each, it causes an error 72.

    EG4 6000ex BMS problems when set to EG4

    Update: I managed to get support on the phone to help me with bat-coms. They determine that my bat-com cable was backwards. They then had me switch to eg4 mode and seemingly it was working (or rather no longer beeping). I am not one to hover over my system but I was seeing some odd results on...

    EG4-6000ex inverter just started constant loud humming after overload condition

    Been running for about four months. Today the inverter was a bit overloaded and shut off due to overload protection. Upon restarting, the inverter started making a loud constant transformer humming noice when it starts inverting, even without any load. Other than the humming, it seems to run...

    EG4 6000EX firmware cable fails to connect

    My bad! Just realizing that the supplied cable may only be intended for updating the batteries and not the inverter.

    EG4 6000EX firmware cable fails to connect

    Hi Folks, I am trying to update my 6000ex inverter but getting an error. I am using the supplied black two wire USB to RJ45 cable. The rj45 jack is plugged into the far-right computer port on the inverter. When I insert the USB cable port 3 or port 4 is assigned depending on what USB port I...

    EG4 6000ex BMS problems when set to EG4

    Hi Folks, I have an offgrid system consisting of a 6000ex inverter with 6, EG4-LL (v2) batteries. If I set the BMS to USE, everything works fine. If I set the BMS to EG4, my display only shows a low battery icon and continually beeps even though my SOC is over 75%. I did verify my communication...
