  • 6000xp with "PV isolation low" warning

    Hello, I recently installed the two MIdnite solar SPD's on my 6000xp system, one for each MPPT (one for each string). I shut down the system, installed them and turned everything back on in the order recommended by the manual but the inverter kept making a clicking noise and the solar wouldn't...
  • EG4 3000 EHV for sale, new in Indianapolis. $550 OBO

    Purchased this about a month ago from Signature Solar but changed my plans on the system I want to install. I opened the box and hooked the system to a battery and AC input just to test it but the unit was never actually put on line and used daily like my other inverters, it just sat on a shelf...
  • Benefits of wiring an east/west array in parallel or series

    I've had seven HQST 190 watt panels east facing on my patio roof for a while and just added seven west facing panels yesterday. Its a low angle roof, probably between 25 and 30 degrees. Is there any real advantage to wiring them into two parallel strings? A bit of back round- I have an EG4...
  • New EG4 3000 causing LED lights to pulse

    I recently installed an EG4 3000 EHV with a single Lifepower4 battery. I have a 1,300 watt PV array tied into the unit and the 120 volt output is wired into a 10 circuit Reliance transfer switch. I have an extension cord wired into the AC input and can run it directly off of a nearby house...
  • Two different inverters fed from same battery bank?

    I currently have a single 6000xp running off of four lifepower batteries. I was thinking of adding a second inverter to help with running my two 2.5 ton AC's this summer, as I don't like pushing a HF inverter too hard with inductive loads. The obvious and simple solution is to add a second...
  • Using 48 volt charger while batteries wired to inverter

    I just received the EG4 18 amp 48 volt charger. Is it safe to charge the two EG4 Lifepower batteries from an exterior source (the new 48 volt charger) while the inverter (EG4 3000) is operating or should I disconnect the batteries from the inverter to charge them? I'll only use the new battery...
  • Communication between 6000xp and Lifepower4 battery without update

    I'm getting ready to install the EG4 6000xp but I haven't received the proper required USB read/write cable so I can update the two EG4 Lifepower batteries that this will be connected to. I've called SS to get an update on the cable as to when the new cable will ship and they couldn't give me an...
  • EG4 6000xp not quick charging

    Hello, I've had my 6000xp running flawlessly for about a month and the inverter itself is still working great but on the app and also the desktop monitoring I can"t use the quick charge feature anymore. I also can't change the AC charging parameters. I emailed SS yesterday but have yet to get...
  • Best placement for SPD

    I currently have an EMP shield wired directly into my main service panel but I'm not sure if that will provide adequate protection to my inverter and solar equipment which is about 60' away and in my basement. The EG4 6000xp inverter is connected to the main service panel through the AC input...
