Will actually made a follow up post about these inverters that they’re were one of the few that didn’t have the 120v on the pv line (see attached pic of his post)
Yeah, the inverter is said to have an ATS but the lack of info on it left me with questions. I may call SignatureSolar to try to get more details on that. They did confirm in a short email response that it does have an ATS. Since I’m only starting off with two batteries, I was hoping to use...
I am putting together my first solar array system using 8 450 watt panels in series. I will be using two EG4 6500ex inverters with 2 48v Eg4 lithium batteries. I will be doing a 150’ run from the inverters to the solar panels. I purchased 150’ 8 gauge copper stranded wire. Is this size wire...
Yeah, I’m in Virginia. Coldest we got this winter was proabay 10 degrees Fahrenheit but that is an exception. I can’t remember ever getting down to -20 degrees F here. The lowest average temp here is in the month of January at 26.4 degrees F.
I’m looking at buying the one that this thread is about. The Eg4 6500 Ex-48HV. So it does have a transfer switch built in? And just to be specific…. It is an automatic Transfer switch and not a manual switch or does it have both?
Could someone help me... I'm confused? In the initial "New Product" review video of this model, Will mentions that this has an "automatic bypass" in the inverter. At 4:59 in that video he identifies a "transfer switch" during his tear down examination of the unit. But, at the 2 min. mark in...
John, thanks for the info. Very helpful. And for future planning… how many of these same panels could I run in series? 11s1p? If I understand correctly wouldn’t it be limited by the inverters’ voltage input. Which in this case the max VOC is 500 per inverter which means I could hookup a...
Since this is the beginner’s corner and I don’t mind admitting my ignorance. I have no clue what you said there in the last comment “excess incoming power seems a non-sequitur with regard to POCO power”. I assume POCO power is grid or POwer COmpany power. But my vocab isn’t that big. I don’t...
what I’m trying to accomplish is to have a poor man’s solar system. I can’t afford to buy a bunch of batteries right now… in my mind I was just going to start off with one or two and buy more each year till I get a rack full. for now, I’m just wanting to get a system going making sure that...
