Just wondering if this is an issue. This is a EG4 6000 Xp going to a Victron shunt shown in solar assistant.

Interesting. I was looking at switching to grid on a specific SOC coming from my victron smart shunt fed to SA. It seems that SA doesnt consider the Victron smart shunt in its automation and uses the inverter SOS value instead. This would work for me if it used the Victron shunt SOC and not...

Fine stranded large gauge wire needs extra attention in getting a good and tight connection. Tighten, wiggle, tighten, wiggle, tighten, wiggle, tighten, wiggle, tighten, wiggle.. then F ing PULL!!! if it doesnt move you should be good. Oh, and recheck the tightness every 3 months. Oh...

You guys shipped my order in 2 days.... BRAVO. Just thought I would give some feedback.

We started with a battery problem. I dont know if that problem is resolved.

Did you have a BMS? It seems like the BMS should have shut it all down?

I have recently searched for SA automation and saw that page was supposed to be under the Power tab. Unfortunately, on my SA there is no mention of automation. This is the power tab.

Pretty sure th That I have not heard before. Are you sure? Where did you hear this?

Concrete?

So that is different than me. I flashed, logged into AP, configured wifi. verified on router, plugged into eg4 and shunt, noticed eps overload error, logged into IP address, and configured.

Did you try turning it off and then back on again?

Not a problem.

Not sure why the EVE 280 diy market is dying. I love mine and will build 3 more packs.

As soon as SS gets them in, they will be shipping my second 6000xp. I am a little concerned about the increase in transfer time to grid on overload or end of discharge. Will a PS4 and computer restart on grid pass thru? How will my window AC like it? How will my fridge and freezer like it...

...Climate change enters the chat.

Insulated gloves? Every one of us should have gloves and eye protection.

Pretty sure you are right.

I am in beta also, but it appears that there is no beta firmware for the 6000xp

Thanks for your responses everyone. I took the message clearly. Today I disconnected my water heater from grid for good! I installed 2- 1500 watt elements in it to be nice to the inverter and work perfect with my other loads at least until the other 6000xp is set up. Now I have an open breaker...

Interesting. Good to hear!

Looks like a job for EG4_Jarrett My time was off but only by an hour EG4_Jarrett Helped me out. I guess its a problem that can only easily be solved by remote. If I were you I would play with the time zone settings. As I said, mine was only off by a hour but yours is 12 hours.

But its called a trace. not. a. wire. yes, same function

Yup. this was it. Very close to the same as when it happened to me.

It is my understanding that the 6000xp will attempt to power loads exclusively with solar and when the sun isnt FULLY powering the loads it will switch to grid. No halfsies. No fun, NO COMPROMISES!

I figured. Got ya. Worse efficiency at low loads, 3 percent loss at mppt stage, plus 80-120 w draw from 6000xp Thank you for your explanation confirming what I suspected. And also for the new information to me regarding efficiency curve based on load.

I missed this part. Now I understand.

Wouldnt a high cell resistance give a fake SOC representation to the BMS? A high resistance cell would need a much longer, and much slower charge to get to 100%? There isnt any way in my opinion to get a high resistance cell to charge in the same time frame with the same charge current in a...

Where can I send them?

But grounding a dc solar line wouldn't pop any breaker in a short to ground and would leave the metallic conduit energized and then feed that voltage to every grounded object via the bond in the panel, no?

If It was , that would be one hell of a weird feeling lol. Im sure you felt it. I hope your batteries arrive unharmed and eager for life. (not in a explosive sort of way) :)

Good news! The quick charge function is super useful if there is some bad weather coming. Dont use it to compensate for a cloudy day. That would introduce unneeded cycling on your battery. Instead, I play with the On grid EOD voltage to get it to fall back to grid and back Say my voltage is...

Anyone else as nuts as me? I have been using SA on my watch for a couple weeks now. Is great. You should do. Oh, and VRM works as well

WTF thats knob and tube that has insulation on it? That was always a NO. Right?

I got mine for 1399.99 Nov.2023

Im probably mostly wrong but,... Any current traveling thru a wire induces a magnetic field. If Pos and Neg are far enough away from each other, the fields do some funny things. Given the start up amps, I do not find this surprising, but, I would be concerned enough to look further into it if...

right!

Simple answer: YES Long answer: Yes, Biggly! I would guess there is a design flaw. Seems like you are saying that the charging circuits fight each other and what ever one is on first rules the day. Seems to be no isolation between charging sources.

It is not.

What is ignorance besides going against the advise of the collective whole, whom YOU summoned for help? 10 people told you the truth, and you seem to think we are ignorant? That is funny!

I think you are GMT -8

So what kind of battery do you have on that 18k? oh you said the powerwall,

I bet you it will get you all the way to 1 hour off. hah Then you will need the help from EG4_Jarrett

I have EG4 6000xp using pylontec. What problems are you referring to?

Right! It might do OK for a water heater, but I cant think of anything else.

What voltage? That matters.

I like the way you think!

Awesome!! Looks like a fresh install. You should love it!
