Somehow, I never saw questionnaire emails regarding the plans. But it's all been worked out. Maybe it went to spam or I deleted them by mistake.

At the moment, there are no errors on the app. But the LCD on the inverter is flashing warning 19... "Lithium Battery communication failure". Whenever I've checked with a multimeter, it mostly agrees with what the app says (I think likely within a reasonable margin of error). Example, right now...

I figured it out. Tap where it says "PN". But be warned, the datalogger stores the timestamps in whatever timezone that was set originally ,rather than 0 UTC and converting to timezone. So if your timezone was drastically ahead and then you fixed it after, it screws up all of your charts.

I've been using the hand truck build at my office since I think December. Generally smooth sailing with my office running "off grid" all that time. This morning I came into some of my computers turned off... but everything else was running, so I was thinking some kind of failed software update...

Hi all, I've recently been going down a youtube rabbit hole on batteries and this sort of stuff. I'm looking for a setup that will let my small office run on battery when power is down. My current setup involves having my gear on consumer grade battery backup units. The problem with these is...

Hi Gang, I recently built a solar cart based on this video. I have the EG4 3k yellow inverter and a LifePower4 battery (latest gen). The goal is to run my office on battery. Built around the mid December 2024. I didn't do a huge test but I connected most of my equipment for about an hour and...

I don't understand why our EG4 3000EHV didn't start charging like it has every day for the past 9 months.

Using a simple outlet tester, it readss "correct" whether I'm testing the wall my inverter gets power from or the outlets the inverter is providing power to. I never removed any screws internally; I'm referring to the ground screw on the bottom outside of the inverter.

Yes I have communications. I configured it according to the guidance I received from CurrentConnected. Protocol: duuuuu ID: duuuuu CAN gonnected to RS485 on the EG4 3000EHV RS485 connected to EG4 Chargeverter (not currently wired to any grid power) Battery type configured per CurrentConnected...

I thought maybe it might be a good idea to try and put a bigger load to drain the battery faster so I can charge to full, then resume with my normal load. I connected a space 1500w heater and after a few minutes everything shut off. I see the red ALM led on the battery. Turning off the...

What's your experience with signature solar? equipment and stamped plans paid for 2 weeks ago as of tomorrow (10/31). Last communication was 7 days ago re partial refund for tigo rapid shutdown modules but no follow up about design plans or shipment/scheduling. Just wondering if this is normal...

I was just about to ask this same question. It was a pain in the butt to setup in the first place because all of the videos I came across had outdated instructions (even the manual that came with the wifi dongle was incorrect). I hesitated to simply try first without checking in here because of...

I built the solar hand truck to power some computers in my garage (home office). So that's the EG4 3000EHV and one LifePower4 battery. The garage is on its own sub panel from the main house. We are on 120v. And FWIW, the garage is finished (drywall/insulated) etc. The inverter is on SBU mode...

The timezone in this app is about 9 hours off and I'm wondering if anyone knows where to change my timezone in the app.

I just saw a YT about starmax, specifically regarding cylindrical 3.2v batteries but thought I'd checkout what else they offer and saw that DIY box... Came here to see if anyone or Will had been talking bout it. Woudl be cool to get Wills take on this. It looked like a really good price...
