OK that is understood. I wonder what DC wave from (PV) solar looks like since it seems to always be changing because of sun, clouds, and shadow?

I just mistakenly confused the 500 of watts with volts so came to a wrong conclusion but will look more into it.

Hmmm. Will read more on this. Thanks. Can you describe what you mean by "Heavy Ripple"? you referring to the sine wave or voltage ripple as in not consistent and modulates up and down some or will it ripple my skin if mishandled... LOL

I see what you have there and that looks like an option too. It would lack the adjustability and also maybe too close to the max input of my AIO, but that form factor has promise if a unit with maybe 300-400 max as the save limit. Thanks, will look more into it.

Could I technically connect this to the wall outlet (or even a generator) to the solar input of the AIO set to say 130 DC to turn on the MPPT input? Not necessarily this exact unit but similar. This maybe a use of this setup for when the AIO is hard wired to a box for a couple important...

That was my thoughts too, even though do not want to spend too much for something I may have a limited use for after this. What other uses does an adjustable vDC power supply have? I know radio/Ham operators use them a lot to test equipment since the precise power requirement is critical for...

Hello, I would like to test my EG4-3000 full functionality for solar, AC-in, and battery changeover but do not have enough solar input to turn on the AIO unit. It needs at least 120 volts top out 500v. I would like to check the function of SOL and SBU for solar first. How can I mimic solar...

If you have to send a solar panel, go with flexible like the CIGS from BougeRV. They are expensive and I have not direct experience using them but the portability to setup anywhere maybe more a benefit than solid frame units. This is just an example and better or cheaper maybe out there. Flex...

Understood on the USE mode but does the AIO not use both solar and battery under heavy loads during the day when (IF I had the solar capacity to run straight to the AIO) set to SBU and SOL mode 01. Is this different since all power input and output is going thru the AIO and it optimizes...

Wonder why you don't have the battery showing on the screen was it blinking, and you just got a picture between blinks? You should have a battery showing but it does show you are connected in LI4 battery mode and charging the invisible battery. That is the invertor on/off switch not necessarily...

Thank you for the reply. I had EG4 support when I set this up. Colt was the employee that helped me from EG4. I sent him an email and he will probably respond sooner or later. The battery was fully charged at the time of the test, and shutdown instantly when I pulled the plug (no hesitation)...

Correct, but I think with them (lead,AGM) I would not have anything (communication cable) connected to the AIO. I think that since I had the cable connected and the unit was sending a signal (maybe) to the AIO that it was not sure what to do because it was in USE mode but also receiving BMS...

Setup the new (cart) EG4-3k and Lifepower4 battery in USE (and 05 in utility) mode and everything else as recommended by EG4. Waiting on panels. One thing I did and did not think made a difference was the communication cable for the battery is connected but is not needed. I still had it hooked...

Well, I asked several questions and didn't get a clear answer to all of them from SS support. Am I able to adjust or set the 43, 44, and 45 modes when using USE and it will be followed? Right now, in USE mode my system is running on the grid full time (bypass/charging battery) and not cycling...
