Signature solar tech had me set to 20A from 60A on setting #2. BMS comms do not work for me yet. It gets error 61 code even after updating.SS tech mailed out replacement cable. He thinks it may be a simple hardware defect for the cable. I have tried reversing both sides of the cable but did...
Hello, i don't have battery comms between my inverter at the moment. I am going to wait until the replacement cable from SS arrives. At that point I will reset the batteries and attempt EG4 mode in setting #5
Also, not sure of F71 or 71! . I recall it as F71 , but didn't take a pic or record...
DEAR GOD!
Tech never explained that to me ever!
I have (4) EG4 48v 100ah batteries. I put option #2 at 60 Amps. How many amps based on the batteries can i do?
Also, I have 1 eg4 6500ex inverter.
F.Y.I i subscribed to your YouTube video when i came across you months ago. The SS...
"After you set your dip switches, did you turn all of your batteries off and then switch them on, one by one, starting with the master battery and working down?"
I do NOT recall so I will be conservative in my response and error on side of caution by saying NO i did NOT do this. If i do it NOW...
I uploaded 3 pictures. I contacted signature solar and went over the dip switches with "Kaleb". He confirmed they are in correct order. I was told it may be a defective cable and they he would mail them out last Tuesday ( may 16th 2023)
Hello,
My goal is to DISCONNECT from the grid. I am NOT sure where you live, BUT I am in COMMUNIST California. I am an SCE (Southern California Edison) customer(NOT by choice).
I was told by SCE that i CANNOT remove the power lines and disconnect from their grid. my assumption it would take...
Setting #2 is 20A
I do NOT charge from utility. I am in SBU mode. Solar, battery , Utility
Would putting it at 60A from current 20A assist in solar charging to the batteries?
Anyone know when EG4 LIFEPOWER4 batteries will be UL9540 certified? I saw a YouTube video from eg4, but they did NOT give specifics. I posted video and title below. I live in California and UL9540 is what i NEED.

I have a separate question(S).
1-How do you know if the model you own has OLD VOC of 250 or NEW VOC of 390?
I have (5) 400w 49.5VOC panels connected in series. That is at 247.5 VOC.
2- If i add a 6th panel in series it would make the VOC 297. would this cause damage?
3- Is the old...
Hello,
I received the replacement cable from Signature Solar (SS) today. I placed the inverter in EG4 setting under option #5. I then disconnected all PV inputs and shut down inverter and lastly turned off all batteries. I THEN turned on the batteries 1 by 1 staring with master battery at...
Hello,
Just wanted to check in to see if ANYONE has the EG4 hub and attempted communication with SUNGOLD power SP6548 or any other SUNGOLD power inverter?
I have an SP6548 inverter with now 6 eg4 LIFEPOWER4 batteries 48v 100ah. Would like to use closed loop communication
Hello, I was given this information from signature solar technical support today to test and validate if I have a defective Eg4 6509ex inverter.
I am thinking to add a simple 1 or 2 (60) amp breaker load center. I ONLY use AC OUT and therefore have no need for AC IN. Just have to figure out...
Hello,
No it seems like both MPPT are either communicating or inverter has a predefined limit. One MPPT could be 500w and nother found be 800w. It's seems in my opinion that the inverter is throttling how much it will take in total.
Thanks ?, i will change it to 60A. What if i put it at 80A or higher? What will that do?
I spoke with signature solar tech today and we spoke about setting 2. I explained i don't use any Utility charging, but he did not mention higher Amps in that setting would help solar charging to...
Hello,
I have replaced the grounding screw back into the inverter. I have tried setting 42 both enabled and disabled and still the lights flicker. I have tired contacting Jared from Eg4 through private message , but still waiting to hear back from him.
I have my inverter connected the way...
Signature solar tech explained that if i ever want to charge using Outlet wall plug i can only do max 20A. 60A is way to much power to push through and outlet. 120v outlets have a 15A- 20Amp max breaker. I am not tied into utility by main circuit breaker. I only use solar and batteries. (SBU)...
Hello, I have private messaged you before to get help. have you seen my 2 prior messages? do you monitor private messages or only the public messages? i have also contacted the eg4 customer support page from your company website and left my information and details regarding the EG$ 6500ex...

Hello,
I called at 3:50pm PST. I was told by the sales woman from option 1 that Technical support would be best to answer my questions. The sales rep said my questions were technical questions. She then placed me on hold for technical support. After that I just waited...and waited...and...
