I also have an EG4 8kw. My setup is completely off-grid. With all the talk about the grid export function, I am wondering: Would it be possible to export to a separate solar system to augment that system, maybe charge the batteries? I actually have 4 separate solar systems on my off-grid...

How about you start your own thread? People can't find solutions when they are buried 42 pages deep.

There are two communication ports on the EG4 v2 batteries. 1 RS485 and 1 CANBUS. I am pretty sure they only work on the CANBUS port for the EG4. And you have to make sure that setting is set on the Battery menu (not inverter). Additionally, you have to setup the PINS on each battery, with...

"Could you tell me what all your settings are?" Did you make changes on the EG4 v2 batteries themselves? They give specific instructions on the settings, which are performed on the batteries (not the inverter) and also instructions on which port to plug into and the inverters settings. When...

I bought one. ?

Why does it need a software upgrade? IMO, that's the culprit in most problems. An engineer, 3 levels down the chain thinks it's a good idea to install a new "upgraded feature" and breaks everything! If you already own two 6500ex, I don't think this unit would ever be a consideration. There...

I don't have issues with mine. That being said, I am not using the "on-grid" function that seemed to give this forum owner problems in his video. The one issue I had to resolve, which was simply understanding which menu button to navigate to in order to fix was finally explained by SS after a...

There are much cheaper solutions. Get a soft start for your AC unit. In the summer hang your clothes outside. I installed a soft start on a 3T A/C unit and the RLA went from 109 amps to 23amps. Sometimes you may need to modify your behaviour to manage your loads. But often that won't happen...

I will post a picture of the idle consumption in the OP, however, its ~70w. I don't get any light flickering under any circumstance. Although, I was noticing the wattage usage fluctuate on L1 during each agitation of the washing machine. Didn't effect any other circuits. My water pump is on...

I am not intentionally being lazy. The thread is 43 pages long because its all over the map. There are at least a dozen topics being discussed in the first 10 pages. People just jump in and post some random, unrelated question or complaint. A lot of it is grid tied, which doesn't fit my...

I might have figured it out. There is a setting called "ARC enabled" user option is "enable" (default) or "disable". According to that thread it is to comply with UL1741 the Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter, AFCI, must perform an ARC test. This must be the setting to disable it. There is no...

Yes, I think it can be paralleled 4x. My question to you, is what in the world are you powering that requires 16k AC output?

What's the difference between the 8k Deye and the 8k MegaRevo? Thanks for that link. I wonder if there has been an update to the firmware. That post was almost a year ago and the firmware versions they cite are quite a bit older than the firmware on my EG4. SS said they had done quite a bit...

Is it a relabeled MegaRevo or a "Relabeled", Relabeled Deye? ? Yeah, I read parts of that thread. It got pretty geeky at around page 4. Also the thread started out with someone complaining about "bugs" on the data screen, but reality was just the user not understanding how to manipulate the...

Ok, so I went and purchased the EG4 8kw hybrid AIO inverter from SS. I am going to give you my impressions upfront with only 30 days. Bottom line: It's a quality unit with dependable performance in the capacity that I am using it. Worthy of your purchase consideration. Picture of the unit...
