I also see 70 volts on pv 2 input on just one inverter. pv2 is not connected to either inverter.

I just got an email from Signature Solar about a newly upgraded manual for EG4 6500ex-48, Version 2.0.0 - August 2022

Yes. I'll start with the inverter then batteries.

Are they selling the wrong breaker for this purpose? Liability issues here?

So your battery is connected to the load terminal correct on the relay?.

They are two 6500watt EG4 inverters in split phase. I have two 48-volt eg4 batteries to use. These batteries have/ come with foot long #4 cables for use in their battery rack, which I didn't purchase. The terminals on these batteries are very small, a 2 ought lug wont fit. They used #4 but I...

That's how I have it wired as well even though they tell me it's not correct. https://diysolarforum.com/threads/line-or-load.49116/

Not yet, reading it now.

How do you put these inverters into standby mode

Per input

I heard that the pos and neg cable from the buss bars to the inverter had to be the same length.

Was I allowed to post that?.I bought everything on this list except the fuses.

Thanks for the good info. I am not grid-tied, do I still need an SPD at the 50a input AC side?. My input comes off my main panel on a 50 A breaker. I can see at the AC out and then at the HVAC itself. Maybe this for the inverter output panel and this at the furnace connection

It was a rainy morning if I remember correctly, not a smart choice. He slipped and fell on the probe I believe.

Did that solve the issue?

I'm thinking along the same lines. The supply of panels is stateside so availability should hold for some time. 48-volt batteries are imported as are the inverters.

This is not so good. And I have two on the way.

No not an outlet. I have a dedicated 15A circuit from my main panel that is right next to the inverters but not used for anything. Was wondering if I could use it.

Thanks for the replies. It reads fine at 120 volts with the solar disconnected. My setup is below.

Here's what I have found so far. I have two strings of 5 250w panels, I see no grounding issues and they each read approximately the same voltage output with a meter. The strings go to a dual PV isolator switch mounted near the inverters and from there one string to each pv1 input on the...

Excellent ideas, thanks. Do you think those aluminized-looking emergency blankets would work, maybe they are mylar instead of aluminum.

Any recommendations on a meter for checking inrush current? What do you own?.

Yeapook (Fnirsi) ADS1013D Tablet Oscilloscope first test and thoughts

Well, that doesn't sound promising.

That was me on your YouTube channel. I will run more tests this weekend. Also, I updated solar Assistant to the latest version and it seems a bit unstable from the last version. Wondering if it could be reporting incorrectly.

Interesting. I am at the point in the installation where I need you guys help. I have the same breaker panel that Will uses in his video install and I have removed both bonding screws in the inverters as well. picture below. I notice that he has the green bonding screw installed and the grounds...

I am waiting for the new 120 volt models to ship. And I'll get one.

Thanks a lot for the information.

I'm new at this but why would you buy these over a cheaper 48volt rack mount battery for $1500?. I don't get it. What is the difference in power in a 48v configuration?

I have two EG4 inverters which are feeding a transfer switch that is in the main panel in the house where neutral and ground are of course bonded. Both inverter internal bonding screws are removed and the neutral, ground, and L1, and L2 from the inverters are kept separate and run directly to...

https://www.rewiringamerica.org/app/ira-calculator/information/heat-pump-water-heater Looks like if you're on social security they pay 100 percent of the cost at the point of purchase.

After following this post I am going to install one on my 60A panel breaker to cover my well pump surge.

Excellent. Why do you never want to charge from the grid/utility?.

LVX6048 inverter, 450v PV input it says.

They are partially elevated but I ran out of daylight yesterday. I will use some 4x4s I have laying around. Thanks.

When I throw the xfer switch the bond should take place from the panel and my readings should be correct I assume.

How do you mute the beeping sounds?

Did you have a surge protector in the furnace and this still happened? Do I need to install one on the furnace to avoid problems?

This is good to know, thanks.

I'll check them out, thanks.

"It depends. If it is a single inverter that does dynamic NG bonding, then no; you should not remove the screw. If it is stacked with more than one inverter then Yes, you should remove the screw on all but one of them." I have two EG4 inverters which are feeding a transfer switch that is in the...

That makes sense, thanks. Should I re-install a bonding screw in one inverter as I saw suggested on here a while back? This is an interesting subject. Thanks for your time, sir.

I noticed today after the inverters randomly shut down again that I was showing roughly 75 volts coming in on PV2 to inverter#2. This is the first time I have noticed this and I have no input/ connection to PV2. My solar arrays connect one to each inverter on PV1. Interesting.

Sure, wouldn't you

I see a lot of posts with wall-mounted inverters and 3/4 liquidtite PVC flexible conduit running along the drywall to the panels. Is this ok to do running along drywall?.Also, I have an interior wall to run #6 wire thru to get to my panel. Can I put a box on one side and another directly across...

can you elaborate on how this is setup?.

So a 12K Growatt would probably be fine for this application and most of the home..

Just get one of these and some panels and wire accordingly. https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-6-5k-off-grid-inverter-6500ex-48/?setCurrencyId=1&gclid=CjwKCAjws--ZBhAXEiwAv-RNLx9E5htcSPumRB18OSVxAptxF4IbQe1pb202mqKXC973IdQJ0EQHqxoC-vsQAvD_BwE
