    18kPv recent strange behavior on battery charging PP

    18kPv recent strange behavior on battery charging PP

    Hi I have been seeing this strange behavior and wanted to check if anyone else is seeing something similar. Recently, the 18kPv just stops charging the battery well before 100% SOC and just kind of sits there for 20-30 mins. There is not a cloud in the sky nor any shading and the inverter...

    EG4 18kpv Wifi-module "Cloud Icon" LED continuously flashing (Dongle offline)

    I was troubleshooting this for hours today. Just saw on a social media post that there was an issue on the EG4 monitoring side. Is anyone aware of a status page or anything we can subscribe to for outages?

    18kpv CT Power Offset

    Negative. Mine is 1/1000. I do see in the manual the default on these should be 1/3000. There seems to be a pw required to change this value though.

    18kpv CT Power Offset

    So tonight I had a heater running plus my normal ~1k draw for a total of ~5k. The 18kpv shows 1600W. I also pulled each CT off 1 at a time and the power draw changed to ~800W total when taking off the L1 CT and ~800W when taking off the L2 CT. The CT Power offset seemed to have no affect on...

    18kpv CT Power Offset

    18kpv CT Power Offset

    Firmware up-to-date. 6 gauge wire isn't sufficient for 50A?
