  • Post in thread: EG4 6500ex and 6000ex flickering lights and firmware

    You need to completely isolate the inverter(s) by disconnecting L, N, G from AC input and AC output. Then test for continuity. Also check for screws on boards as instructed by EG4 support.
  • Post in thread: Upgrading 6000xp Firmware

    This is what I see..
  • Post in thread: Firmware update lowering out put?

    Output on my 6000 ex seems to be normal. Flicker issue appears be resolved. Switchover from SBU to SUB seems to be worse with a slower response. My TV and lights turns off when this occurs.

    Setting 26 allows you to disable the N-G bonding.
  • Post in thread: WiFi Smart Plug

    The BN-Link WiFi smart switch on Amazon have been reliable for the last 2 years. Has some automations with the app too.
  • Post in thread: Current Connected has the EG4 6000XP In Stock

    Looks like these guys are the only ones who have the 6000xp in stock again.
  • Post in thread: Problems with EG4 6000 Battery settings

    What firmware number are you on? I recently update to latest firmware from 63.05 to 63.11 and have never seen percentages for settings 19, 20, or 21 with EG4 Battery comm. With 63.11 the Battery Cutoff Voltage (setting 19) is fixed at 42V which is terribly low. Yes, Setting 20 won’t help...
  • Post in thread: Solar Assistant - data logger

    I tried this with my two EG4-LL v2 batteries and the SOC and voltage was accurate, but the displayed and logged battery power was only for slave battery. I noticed the delay when running closed loop communication with EG4 6000EX and EG4LL v2 batteries. As soon as I switched SA battery setting...
  • Post in thread: Solar Assistant Wish list, Bugs and Issues.

    Yes, I used these setting successfully for a few months.. you can also setup the automations with 2 conditions so it needs to satisfy both time and SOC parameters before it activates..
  • Post in thread: Solar assistant update 8/2023 has new battery label %/hr

    Under the inverter and battery setting (last tab) click “Advanced” and input your correct battery capacity (kWh).
  • Post in thread: $800 for shipping???

    I ordered one battery which was shipped by freight and arrived on a pallet. It wasn't too heavy for a single person to lift, but considering its price tag and having electronic components, I was ok with the shipping cost. Additionally, being out of state saved me tax and I was able to find a...
  • Post in thread: EG4 6500ex and 6000ex flickering lights and firmware

    I had the eg4 6000ex and it did the same thing. Had the flickering and constant clicking on my computer UPS. The refrigerator’s main board was replaced 3 times during the time I used the inverter.
  • Post in thread: EG4 6000EX not switching over to utility

    The inverter display shows that there is no battery connection. Either your battery connections are bad or the actual battery is faulty. What are you using for setting 14? Share pictures of your inverter and battery connections.
  • Post in thread: I searched for SmartESS PV undervoltage alarm and got nothing so...

    I agree. Get Solar Assistant. If relying on SmartESS or similar apps, then you’re missing out on a lot. The reliability of Solar Assistant should be enough reason to switch.
  • Post in thread: $800 for shipping???

    We're different. Not many people have the technical ability or are too scared to try putting a system together.
  • Post in thread: At which point after the Winter Solstace will my power get back up there?

    My panels are mounted flat, so I'm experiencing a significant increase each day.
  • Post in thread: EG4 6000ex UPS mode question

    How did you confirm grid charging is working? To me, it appears that it’s not charging. Also charger source set to solar only will prevent grid charging.
  • Post in thread: Eg4 6000xp solar inputs

    17A per MPPT
  • Post in thread: EG4 6500ex and 6000ex flickering lights and firmware

    Work with @EG4_Jared and I’m sure you can find a solution.

    I tried to connect using a browser, but was unsuccessful as well.
  • Post in thread: $800 for shipping???

    You can google codes and try in your shopping cart, or sometimes they have a pop up to enter your email for a $50 off coupon..
  • Post in thread: EG4 6000ex Line Charge on Low Battery

    I think there is a manual in the firmware download. I assume it’s the updated version consistent with latest firmware.
  • Post in thread: Choosing inverter in 2024. MIN10000TL vs 6000XP vs LV-6548

    Best bang for the buck would be the 6000xp.

    This is what I bought and it’s been working great. Orange Pi 3 LTS
  • Post in thread: EG4-6500 network or wifi connection

    I just got my system up and running so I want to make sure everything is working correctly. It’s nice to have remote monitoring and ability to make adjustments when I’m out of the house. Maybe when I’m satisfied with my system I’ll monitor it less, or not because it takes away the fun of DIY...
  • Post in thread: Testing EG4 6000XP AIO inverter.

    Try to make adjustments on the actual inverter first. I’ve noticed some setting wouldn’t apply through the app.
  • Post in thread: 6000XP won't talk to EG4-LL

    This video is will show you what to do.
  • Post in thread: 6000XP Settings for bypass

    Why didn’t you just get the EP Cube inverter and battery set? What’s the capacity of your battery? Use Setting 15 to be on all the time.
