Heading down to install my off-grid solar power system this morning. Actually it's technically two separate systems: one on the main house and one on the garage/studio space. Panels were installed a month ago: 5 x LG395Q1C-A6 panels on the studio and 20 x LG395Q1C-A6 panels in two 10 panel...

Random question to pose here to see if anyone can explain or has had a similar experience. On my EG4 6000ex unit I had been pulling quite a bit of wattage from just idle consumption. I know that unit has a pretty high idle consumption but it seemed excessive even to knowing that. One thing I...

So I just added 3 new Lifepower4 batteries to my existing 3. I checked voltages before I hooked them up and they were within a volt so I figured it was ok, but once they started charging (I also added double the panels to my array) it gave error code 69. I called Signature Solar and they walked...

So winter has hit southern Utah with a vengeance. Bryce Canyon just received record breaking snowfall and the forecast is for more of the same. My studio space using the EG4 6000EX has been struggling to get charged up during this spat of weather and I think (I'm not onsite unfortunately) that...

Hi, all! I have a question regarding charging 48V Lifepower4 batteries using the EG4 Chargeverter. I just got 3 new batteries to add into my existing system. I want to fully charge each new battery before adding them and I was wondering: can I hook up the chargeverter directly to the busbars in...

I just got my EG4 18 kpv and 12 EG4 lifepower4 batteries hooked up and it’s running great! After the com cable debacle and the battery firmware update, of course. ? The app has been great so far as well, granted this is my first solar project and first time using a remote monitoring app like...

So the wifi went down at our property this morning and said it was due to a power outage. I'm 5 hours away and the place is remote and there is no one to go check on it so I'm a little concerned. I am running the EG4 18K and looked at the app to see if there were any anomalies leading up to the...

Hello, all! I am looking to add more battery storage to my garage/studio system and I'm wondering the best way to accomplish that. I have a 6 slot server rack filled with Lifepower4 batteries and I'm going to add 3 more. Couple questions: Can I connect the two racks via the busbars using 2/0...

Hi! Been running some load tests on y system. My main house is running an EG4 18KPV with 60kWh of Lifepower4 batteries and that system has been running great. My studio has 15kWh of Lifepower4 batteries and running a EG4 6000ex-48HV inverter. I got my mini split heat pump up and running and the...

Hello!, I am running an EG4 18K with 60kWh of lifepower4 batteries and 20 x 395w panels on the roof. The batteries are easily filled and I have been getting "battery voltage high" alarms nearly everyday. In lieu of changing some settings on the 18K (which EG4 has offered to help me do but I have...

Out of the blue today my EG4 6000ex stopped getting any solar input. It worked fine yesterday and now the app is not even registering anything. Anyone have any ideas as to how this might happen? I am not onsite so I can't readily check connections or anything. Could the MPPT have just stopped...

Hello! This is my first post here and I'm sure there will be many to come as I am just about to get started building my off-grid power system. I will be installing in the main house: 2 EG4 6500EX inverters with 2 full 6-slot server rack battery banks with EG4 Lifepower 48V batteries (60kWh...

So I've been monitoring my system remotely and some of the math isn't adding up and I wanted to post here to see if anyone had any insight. I have 3 of the Lifepower4 48V 100aH batteries with a EG4 6000EX inverter. I'm using the SolarPower app. Nothing but a simplisafe base station and the...

Hi, all! I am building a 100% off-grid home in a county that says they have adopted the "National Electric Code" for their building permitting and inspection. I am going to build the "complete 48V off grid system" that Will outlines here with 2 EG4 6500EX inverters, PV disconnects, circuit...

Just hooked up my two 6-slot lifepower4 racks, updated the firmware on all of them, hooked them up to my 18kpv inverter, I get 51V at the battery input inside the inverter but the inverter is not recognizing the batteries and is giving a solid orange warning light. Am I missing something? HELP!

So a little backstory: Im building a 100% off-grid house in a remote area. When I started researching solar power options I, like many of you, stumbled upon Will Prowse's videos. I learned a lot and started putting together the system I wanted to build. I had originally planned to build the...
