  • Post in thread: EG4 LLS rack with EG4-WallMount Indoor

    I'm in the same boat, just a bit smaller, I have 3 LLS and wanted to get 2 Wallmount batteries
  • Post in thread: 6000xp line in

    I also got 8 THHN, but I don't see in the manual what size breaker, I was thinking about just doing a 50 amp since they are good for 55 amps, is that what you did?
  • Post in thread: Questions for people running mini splits

    That's great info, I was planning on keeping the furnace just to use as a filtration system, we also have 7 air purifiers at work throughout the house as we have asthma/allergy issues.
  • Post in thread: EG4 LLv2 and rack wiring question

    No worries, I'll get the battery moved up then thank you!
  • Post in thread: Questions for people running mini splits

    I have a 1700 SQ FT house with 2 stories, our goal is to completely get rid of our furnace using Mini Splits and a wood burning stove. We live in West Virginia so it can get decently cold in the winter. My questions are has anyone here got any experience with heating and cooling your entire...

    @EG4_Jared Just wanted to bump this up since the weekend, hope your weekend was great!
  • Post in thread: EG4 LLv2 and rack wiring question

    I saw in Will's video that you need to flip the negative bus bar to get the battery to inverter connection on the bottom so it drains the batteries equally. Is that still a thing with the new versions?
  • Post in thread: Does anyone have pics of Midnite surge setup on a 6000XP system?

    I bought the kit from SS, and the only part that's missing is where I'd setup the 4 Midnite solar surge devices. I've seen people mount them on the side of the boxes, just looking for ideas and experience setting them up. I'm going to be running the system as a seperate circuit in my house, I...
  • Post in thread: Tracer4210AN MPPT question

    I'm having trouble understanding how much I can get out of my EP Ever 40 Amp Tracer, this is my first ever solar system and I have a 100W panel and looking to buy a battery/batteries that I can get the most out of this. My goal is to learn what all it can power in a real life garage situation...
  • Post in thread: EG4 LLS rack with EG4-WallMount Indoor

    What's the best way to wire these together, would you wire the wallmount battery to the busbar on the rack or do you need another busbar to connect them?
  • Post in thread: EG4 LLv2 and rack wiring question

    Hey @EG4_Jared , the busbar doesn't have 10MM bolts on the bottom most slot, should the batteries be wired above the final 10MM or am I missing something?
  • Post in thread: EG4 LLv2 and rack wiring question

    @EG4_Jared any thoughts?
  • Post in thread: Questions for people running mini splits

    That's very helpful actually! I am hoping to try the mini splits and see if they do enough, if not I'll eventually just run them off solar panels during the day to help lower costs. We are planning a wood burning stove similar to your situation with the blowers and "sump fans" to push the heat...
  • Post in thread: EG4 12KPV ALL-IN-ONE HYBRID INVERTER

    can this be in parallel with 6000XP?
  • Post in thread: EG4 LLv2 and rack wiring question

    Best wiring route for batteries to the inverter is still bottom of negative and top of positive correct?
  • Post in thread: Water heater and electric stove

    What's everyone doing for electric water heaters and electric stove? I've seen mixed stuff on heat pump water heaters, and the stove is just a beast of consumption, even with a new energy efficient one air fry ect. It seems I would need a 6000XP for each individual item here or a 18kPV for 2...
  • Post in thread: Water heater and electric stove

    Do you have a model or link to the dual element one you have? I'm gonna start looking into that for sure!
  • Post in thread: 6000XP question

    Can a 6000XP really provide enough power for someone using 1700KW a month? I'm doing the math and it seems it would work (minus any surges in usage), if I'm using 66.6 KW a day it's 2.77KW an hour.
  • Post in thread: Weird desk fan has more power with grid pulling in power 6000XP

    I just got my 6000XP hooked up last weekend, it was just running on battery while I'm sitting at my desk, but the batteries were getting low 30%, so I decided to kick on the grid charge and the fan was noticably pushing more air when the grid started charging, like louder and everything. Has...
  • Post in thread: Water heater and electric stove

    Yea that's what my research has found too, I'm not opposed to the heat pump, induction stove, and mini splits everywhere, but even heat pump and induction stoves will use a ton of power. What are everyone's thoughts on timer system for the water heater?
  • Post in thread: 6000XP line balance?

    I'm able to run my dryer, but it appears to overload one of the lines while I do it, not sure why it's not line balancing this
  • Post in thread: EG4 LLS rack with EG4-WallMount Indoor

    That's interesting, so for a system if you wanted to add 2 Wallmount batteries you should have 6 server rack batteries?
  • Post in thread: Negative terminal bus bar help

    1) there are 3 batteries 2) 48V 3)48V batteries The batteries are EG4 LL v2's and the rack is the latest EG4 rack. When hooking it up I noticed the large lug for the inverter connection was above the bottom hookup for the battery which doesn't seem right. I'm thinking I need to move the lug...
  • Post in thread: EG4 LLS rack with EG4-WallMount Indoor

    Couple questions from this: Is charging from the grid good or is there a need for the chargeverter? When you say guaranteed 100% state of charge is that different than in the settings for the inverter telling it to start charging at 30% then stop at 100%? Can you say why it would be better to...
  • Post in thread: Weird desk fan has more power with grid pulling in power 6000XP

    Awesome I'll check it out thanks!
  • Post in thread: EG4 LLv2 and rack wiring question

    Sure thing
  • Post in thread: Negative terminal bus bar help

    Do you hook the inverter below the battery here? The bigger terminal is above the battery connectors it looks like
  • Post in thread: Help with string(s) sizing 6000xp

    I got a kit without panels from ss, my plan is to expand to at least one more 6000xp in the future so I went with a pallet of these https://signaturesolar.com/14-2kw-pallet-hyperion-395w-bifacial-solar-panel-black-up-to-495w-with-bifacial-gain-full-pallet-36-14-2kw-total/ I’m a bit confused on...
  • Post in thread: 6000XP and EG4 48V LLv2 temps

    What are acceptable temps, I looked in the manual and it just talks about the ambient temps not the actual device temps to watch out for:
