    EG-4 18kw pv inverter, generator won't with it

    Hi Thanks for taking time to explain and educating me. I now understand how to set inverter parameters to get generator and inverter to work together. Thing is I see now how inverter system works with generator and no way I want to use their system. Future problems is all I see, not being able...

    Signature Solar Experience, Bad or Good

    Hi Lighthouse Beacan Follow up, I had my defective inverter replaced with a new one for free in a reasonable time frame. In my mind problem may have been caused me. The manual has a startup and shutdown procedure that I did not follow which may have caused DC buss to short out. Hope that helps...

    Glad to hear you're taken care of. Also it's good you gave SS positive input. I personally don't think SS deserves any of the negativity that's on the Internet.

    Signature Solar Experience, Bad or Good

    Yes we do have the same. I am on grid and have a bypass. It helped. It's not going happen over night. Main thing for me I got a new one. I believe I caused the inverter problem by not following startup and shutdown of inverter per manual.

    EG-4 18kw pv inverter, generator won't with it

    Hi You do have some interesting input. For me input about SolArk educated me, good to know. To answer some of your questions. I am feeding generator directly into generator terminal in inverter. This generator has a little bit of history. At one time before my solar, generator was used only...

    EG-4 18kw pv inverter, generator won't with it

    Well I've viewed voltage previously with grid voltage on. Inverter will match grid voltage and is usually between 245 - 250 volts. I haven't been able to note voltage when grid is off and generator is running. I'm reluctant to try generator any more til this problem is fixed, back feed may...

    EG-4 18kw pv inverter, generator won't with it

    My thoughts exactly. My Generac Ecogen 6000 monitors voltage and frequency very closely. It will not change voltage to match inverter. 18kpv has to match my generator or igenerator will fault out

    EG-4 18kw pv inverter, generator won't with it

    Hi My generator noload voltage is 242 volts. My generac Ecogen 6000 also worked fine on an old Schneider system. Yes I do realize a chargeverter would solve my problems, but shouldn't EG4 be addressing this problem? After all we did buy a 18kpv so we could have a all in one system. The old...
