ksmithaz1 replied to the thread Solved. When using a EG4 6000XP with grid assist, would that be considered grid tied and i have to deal with all the POCO interconnect nonsense?.6KW = 240v@25A This is a split-phase 240v inverter. 25A not 50. Technically you could pull 50A at 120v assuming you could perfectly...

Easier to visibly see how it's wired and...
