Yes, I have the Samlex receiving AC Input from the Main panel (where the N/G Bond exists). If using a "traditional" generator transfer switch (most do not switch N and share the N/G Bond from the main source panel), there's a weird behavior that exists when passing through the AC (like a loop...

I'm about to do the same exact setup (except I'm using a Samlex EVO-4248SP). I told my wife if anything goes down with the "solar setup" (which Murphy's Law says will happen when I'm away hunting, etc.), she can just flip a switch to put all the critical loads back on grid. My dilemma was...

I now have the Samlex EVO 4248. In the process of getting things connected. I plan to use my Victron SmartShunt & Victron SCC -> VenusOS on RasPi. I can see the battery SOC and Solar Production locally or via Victron's Portal. I plan to use my Shelly EM to monitor the L1 & L2 AC outs of the...

Add me to the list who didn't get a case either... Also wondering how to tell what firmware version is loaded on it? Nothing marked in/on the box or on the updater.

Any other "frequency" changes in your environment? Certain WiFi frequencies can cause interference with Bluetooth. (Possibly a Wifi access point auto changed to a different frequency?) Even other "non-tech" devices can put out interference (thinking Microwave off the top of my head. But...

Signature Solar is telling me it's OK to parallel the two this way (since it is only two). However, they also didn't give me an answer about the gauge of the included wires... So... I'm thinking I will want to purchase bus bars to connect them to anyway (and upgrade the wires from the...

Hi All, I just received (2) EG4 LifePower4 48v rack mount batteries. I assume the small cables that come with the batteries are meant for connecting to their server rack busbars. However, since I only have (2) batteries, I am planning on using my own rack and directly connecting the two...

I actually have use case for both versions... Old version: (which I ordered) will work perfect for my off-grid cabin. When I'm running generator, I want to be charging. New version: Would work great for home where for logistical reasons I don't want to feed AC -In to my Inverter/Charger and...

So I placed an order for the original version a little over a week ago. Was informed it is on backorder. What version will I be getting?

Nevermind... I bought the chargeverter :)

Hey everyone, Was about to order the EG4 Chargeverter when I noticed SigSolar has a "EG4 48V/1200W IP65 Charger" that is quite a bit cheaper. Does anyone have any experience with this charger? Thanks, JAS

Well, I ordered the 4248 last night from donrowe.com... Hoping to catch a sale again on batteries within the next few weeks. Thinking I will go with rack mount batteries instead of the powerpro. Will be cheaper to add on in the future and also easier to increase the capable amp draw. It will...

I wasn't initially.. but enough people chimed in to make me 2nd guess myself I'd be interested in specific products? I've talked with a few different plumbers and well guys and none of them know about anything that can be added (easily anyway) to an existing 240v deep well pump (I'm over 475'...

Yes, ? But, I will only start with a single unit and if that can handle the well pump, I'll have no need for a 2nd unit.

Update: Spoke with support at Samlex today. (Awesome support! Answered within hours and gave me his cell number to call him back!) I asked about parallel capabilities since I'm unsure if a single unit can power my well pump. Although he was confident the single unit can start the well pump...
