Looking to see who out there has an EG4 6000XP that is running a fairly large and variable 240 volt loads from a 3-5 ton AC and blower with a soft start. Just some basic info like how long you've been running the EG4 6000XP this way, general location (state/country), daily kwh consumed by...
I have 14 CS 400 watt solar panels in use with a grid tied inverter but have an EG4 3k off grid inverter as a backup if I lose grid power. There are no issues with the array VOC now (520 volts) with my grid tied inverter and I don't expect any during the winter (560 volts), but I could have an...
On heavy dew days overnight, I get a substantial dew on the solar panels and the inverter startup time is delayed. Seeing it more in the fall/winter months as I'm getting the sun shaded by trees more this time of year. Yesterday the inverter started up at about 8:30 am. Today it still has not...
I’ve heard a few people say that the EG4 Chargeverter cleans up the dirty power from a non-inverter generator. I thought I remember people saying it’s the same charger that’s in the EG4 AIO’s. I realize that EG4 AIO’s have been fried when the ACin has been from dirty power from a generator. I’m...
I’ve got a Growatt 10000 watt grid-tied inverter with 4 MPPT’s. I’ve currently have 10 400 watt panels with about 300 volts on a 4/12 pitch roof on one string going to one MPPT and 4 400 watt panels with about 120 volts on a 8/12 pitch roof on a second string on a separate MPPT. Both are on the...
I’ve only had a 4.1 kw (10 panels) grid tied system running since August. I had very comparable results in power generated vs PVWatts in August but have been running significantly lower since early September. Some of the deterioration into the fall is a clipping due to the sun not rising as high...
Given that solar panels degrade 2% in the first year and then 0.5% per year thereafter, I’m wondering if this results in any decrease in Voc or if it only affects the amperage.
I normally use an EG4 3k all in one inverter with a manual transfer switch to power a few circuits in my house and everything checks out ok.
I recently used the inverter with batteries at another location to try and power a refrigerator. I was getting a blinking LED when I plugged in the...
I’ve got 10 panels on a 4/12 pitch roof and an additional 4 panels higher up on a 8/12 pitch. All are facing south. Is there some program or app that would tell me if it would be more optimal to run them separately in two separate series or if it would yield similar results to run them all in...
