    Midnite Solar Announced their new 10kw AIO at Intersolar Today

    I like it. I know its a ton of money hanging there, but what would be awesome would be all you all in ones mounted on the wall in a row.😁

    HELP! Setting up 1st System. Overwhelmed!

    I don't know what your inspector will care about as far as UL listings. If they don't care about ul9540(specific inverter matched to specific battery you have more options. Are you going to have a well? If your kWh usage is about what you have stated these inverters come to my mind: Eg4...

    Midnite Solar Announced their new 10kw AIO at Intersolar Today

    Very good video sir. The Green lee punch set is nice and that's what I've used at work along with various ratchets, hydraulics and battery powered sets. For those here that need one for occasional use I got a no name set on Amazon for home and it works well for the price. Really looking...

    heads up: powerpro indoor availability

    I have 3 indoors that I started using in the last week or two. Never have used rack batteries. I can't talk you out of it as they are working great so far. Heavy is a FACT. Have a plan for where you want them delivered so you don't have to move them more than necessary. After seeing videos...

    EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    Thanks. There seems to be a huge difference between jurisdictions on just about everything. My local inspectors are pretty good about answering questions. Seems they are used to grid tie systems and less on fully off grid. In my case I will be moving my system to another property and will...

    EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    I see what you are saying. I am learning more about 9540 currently. I know that the 18kpv can match to 3 pro batteries 9540 compliant. I was also under the impression that this pertains specifically to grid tied systems. Mine has no grid tie.

    Personally I would use 12awg instead of 14awg for the pv wires. It’s very little difference in price. Not trying to change your setup as you know what your needs are. Your diagram shows a decent chunk of money on Victron gear. The price of short runs of wire is small in comparison.

    EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    I have a Victron 250/85tr cc I can use and am considering it. It would be nice though to have the 600v ability of the 18kpv, or at least the 480v of the 6000xp along with the ability to add the cc to the eg4 monitoring app so I can track what’s going on. If they don’t make a cc similar to my...

    System Design Feedback Requested

    I haven’t looked over your diagram in depth tbh. I just want to suggest going with the Multiplus 24/3000 instead of 2000. I had the 2000 and it was great, but 50% higher capacity gives more room for multiple draws that happen at the same time. Even if you don’t think you need it, the price...

    Who's fresh air cooling your equipment and how are your temps?

    I am near completion on my 20’ container. I am using an eg4 18kpv and 3 indoor batteries(42.9kwh) to start with. I believe I could fit 6 or 7 per long wall and 2 on the end wall. Rack batteries probably could get more capacity per foot of wall space. Minimum I would suggest is half a 20’...

    Fedex is NOT getting a Christmas card this year (Sig Solar order destroyed)

    My 57 panels were delivered a couple weeks ago via a different company but came from signature solar. I ordered 1 spare panel. Came as a pallet of 36 and a partial of 21. The full pallet had the bottom panels cracked and the partial(standing on sides) had one panel cracked. Looks like it got...

    eg4 6000 xp

    As far as I know all new units should be priced no lower than $1399.00 right now. Then its down to shipping.

    EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    So the growatt takes the pv power and converts it to ac and sends it to the 18kpv? Then the 18kpv either charges battery or sends directly through as ac on the load terminals? I had envisioned an added eg4 all in one load terminals hooked to the 18kpv gen terminals. The added all in one...

    New Growatt hybrid inverter SPH10000TL- HU-US split phase

    Maybe the price of this unit would undercut the upcoming eg4 “12kpv”?
