Will - thanks for that clarity. I'll watch the video again. Based on the other items I mentioned, do you have feed back on (2) 3000's in parallel or 1 6,000xp? Thanks

Ok in the review from Will, he stated that the surge was only when using both lines for 240v - ie on a dual pole 240v device. Or possibly I misunderstood. So if L1 120v is 3,000watts, what is it capable of surging to? I think that's the rub, that it has surge from 6,000 to 12,000 if you are...

Folks (Will), about to settle on an approach and I have read a bunch and also watched the EG4 6000xp video as well as the compare with the 18pv. Goal - take most of my house circuits off grid power - but do not plan to net meter: - I have 2 water heaters installed in line (a 20 gallon 120v and...

Thank you both. Yes understand to make sure that I can kill the internal inverter NG bond if I wire the way that I show. As far as 240v load - I don't care or need it and from what I have seen, a lot more expensive for 120/240v split phase capable units. Also want to be able to swap AC...

ok great thanks so sounds like my plan has some precedent and is very similar. I already have (2) 10-circuit transfer switches that will accommodate all my 120v mail panel circuits for complete flexibility on what is driven by PV. Based on what I have seen, why do you switch Neutral and not...

Don't have a pic but its a std 200amp Square-D type panel. Understood, on later regret without having 240v option, but with no transfer switch I lose the option of putting specific circuits on grid if needed unless I turn off the whole subpanel. There was a lot of thought on a larger single...

I won't over panel too much due to the VOC limit (I know I can over panel for AMPS) If the panels are 325watt, 46v and 10amps, I can get 6S2P per unit (24 panels 7,800) set up which would be 276v / 20amps per MPPT. This would be supported by a 6000W LV6548 unit as well ofcourse with the 2 PV of...

Thanks in advance folks for any comments. Learning solar for both my house and my boat. Hybrid grid and solar for my house BUT NOT tied to grid for any excess to flow back to utility. Goal is to actively learn and in doing so cut a little off my electricity bill so here are the guidelines: -...

Since this isn't that old, I'd like to piggy back on this thread as what I am looking at doing is similar but with 2 hybrid inverters and 2 of the Reliance 30amp switches. Please see attached for page 1 system design and page 2 for more detailed Ground and Neutral wiring... Note: G/N wiring...

The house banks is the current OEM setup - house 1/port engine and house 2/starboard engine. Then I have an isolated one for backup start situations. Each house/start bank is 2 100ah AGM and backup start is 2 1000 MCA crank. Idea per my diagram is another 2 Lithium 100ah solar bank wired for...

Just bumping hopefully for some comments. Thx

No more thoughts :)

Per the diagram - solar not to charge the backup start batteries - these are emergency backup only and are not deep cycle but high CCA. Those are only on the ProMariner charger when on shore power prior to a trip so are 100%. If you look at 2nd page, they are not connected to solar. Page 1...

Folks - planning a system for a 40' aft cabin live aboard. Goal is to have all my systems available for 5-7 days - minus AC, oven, and Hot Water heater I've done the calc's for usage so solar panels (3 @ 370w) and batteries will be sufficient. Please take a look. My pref is one isolated system...

Folks - I reviewed this thread and also am planning a system for a 40' aft cabin live aboard. Please take a look. My pref is one isolated system to feed the whole boat with only 2 connection interface (inverter to vessel ground and 110v to a 2 position switch) - keeps 4 banks charged - keeps...
