    Hello, I have been working with Ethan Klein Technical Support Associate at SS and they have decided to send me a new BMS. Ethan says they feel it is malfunctioning and asked if I could change it. Going to give a shot. Ethan sent me some documentation for the replacement. We did try updating the...

    Hello all, Im really liking the EG418KPV and wanted to know if I should just stay with my 4 EG4-650EX inverters or get the two EG4-18KPV? It’s more money but they are giving me 4000.00 off two of them. Because I bought 4 EG4-6500EX inverters and server rack batteries. Here what I have so far. I...

    I will check them out. Thank you
  • Post in thread: Myoffgridsolarsystem

    This is the answer I was looking for thank you. I do want to add more batteries and more solar panels too. I do want to run the other two inverters once I connect solar to them so we can have more power. We did over load the two inverters one time. I am running 18 455watt solar panels and have...

    Hello alll, Worked with SS they had me take a LCD screen from a working battery and put it back into the one that was not allowing me to change the settings one the battery and it worked. So I’m now just waiting for them to send me a LCD screen and see if the want me to remove the BMS they sent...

    I have have double checked all the torque settings on both EG4-18 KPV’s All communication cables are working as they should. My issue is if both inverters are powered on with the load breakers on and I have no loads connected. Both the inverters are just connected to the POWER DISTRIBUTION...

    My main panel is completely off grid it is not connected to my main service panel. I am currently only using two of the EG4-6500EX inverters in split phase on a 70amp double pole breaker. And the next two inverters are also connected the same way but no PV connected at this time. I am running #4...

    So if it’s not out putting any loads I’m seeing like 120 to 124 wants it fluctuates so when both load breakers are on both inverters I should see this wattage coming from the batteries or should it be zero watch coming being, so there’s no load connected
  • Post in thread: Power draw

    I also thought in standby mode. I should only see a idle consumption of like 18 wants per inverter that would be a total of 36 watts
  • Post in thread: Power draw

    So 107 watts from the master and about 82 watts from the slave is that considered idle consumption or is that because the load breakers are turned on and things are energize, even though it is not out putting any loads?
  • Post in thread: Power draw

    Not sure if you seen this photo, but these inverters are not connected to any loads except for the power distribution block. I have not ran my wire from that power distribution block to my sub panel for my loads so that’s why I’m wondering why I see the watts coming from the battery when the...
  • Post in thread: Power draw

    Understood so if I’m seeing 107 watts on the master inverter and about 98 to 100 Watts on the slave inverter are those numbers combined or is that reading basically off of the master inverter as a combination?
  • Post in thread: Power draw

    First photo is master inverter connected to load L1 second photo load L2 Third photo slave inverter for photo L2 fifth photo, master positive DC cables master negative DC cables slave positive DC cables slave negative DC cables it looks like it is reading in milliamps on AC and DC lines

    I really appreciate your help Rich I am very new to this Forum and I do not even know where to post this type of question any help on your side would be great. Thank you so much for all your help.
  • Post in thread: Power draw

    Do you think I have any issue with the inverters the way I see it on the LCD screens. Do you think it is operating correctly? I do not see any errors or anything. I just see the draw and was not for sure why
  • Post in thread: Myoffgridsolarsystem

    Inverter #1 & #2 are going to the 70 amp double pole breaker on the top right side of the 200amp panel. #3 & #4 inverters are going to the next 70 amp breaker below the top breakers and are not on. my main question is are the EG4-18KPV inverters better then what I I’m using now for off grid.
  • Post in thread: EG4-LL V1

    Hello all, I received the BMS and took photos of the removal and install but just sent all to SS Ethan and Chris from SS resolution the new BMS did not fix the issue. I think it’s the LCD screen. Going to call tomorrow morning find out next steps. I want try a LCD from one of my other...

    No. My system works great. I was offered 4000.00 off two EG4-18KPV inverters from SS just thinking they would be better. I see a lot of people are liking them and some that having problems with them. Just wanted to see if I should upgrade or stay with what I have. They are $5599.00 for one so I...
  • Post in thread: Four EG4 6500EX in split phase - Fault 80 Question

    Hello I have had 4 EG4-6500ex inverters running no problem. I did not see you stated that you connected the current sharing cables to each of the inverters? If I understand you correctly you say you split the PV coming in on the first inverter to the next inverter and the same for the other PV...

    Hello for members, I have 24 EG4-LL batteries everyone of my batteries. I can go into the protocols and select the lux power for RS485 and Can protocol. One of the batteries will not move down or up to select lux power, or in the Can protocol in the normal screen, I can select the temperature...

    Hello all, I have 2 EG4-18KPV Inverters with batteries connected and loads from the inverter connected to one PDB and it’s funny I see all works good but when I turn on the line breakers in the inverters I see a draw on the LCD screen but if I turn one of the breakers off no draw any ideas to...
