We are releasing a firmware update on our website and here in this post that resolves the flickering light issue on the most recent batch of EG4 6000 and 6500 inverters.
Who does this affect: people with EG4 6k and 6.5k units Shipped after November first who are experiencing lights flickering...
Love seeing these installs.
I remember 10 years ago as an installer when this was totally impossible, so thankful for the DIY community as well as @Will Prowse ‘s wonderful platform
Good Morning everyone, Yesterday Luxpower's founder James Wang and myself decided it is necessary to make it clear that both of our companies believe in the absolute rights of customers who have bought inverters from any sales channel of any kind. As an off grid user myself since I was 15 I...
Ethics-wise you are literally shutting down equipment homeowners paid for and depend on to fit some twisted business strategy.
literally seeing dozens of people call me all morning, and I never even sold Deye

After this issue has turned out to be a strategy to disable and "brick"...
Hi Guys,
Occasionally we see people think that we are dropshipping or some other synthetic logistics 🤣. the marketing team had a crew go in our warehouse to give everyone a good idea of where their orders come from. this team does over 6000 shipments per month.
We are looking to do a grand...
We are excited to announce that our PowerPro ESS series with 280Ah WallMount battery and 18kPV hybrid inverters are listed with CEC, effective Nov 30th 20223.
Listings can be found here...
Hi everyone,
Dropping in here to share that today we are releasing the successful MIL STD 461G tests on the 18kpv, LL, and wall mount batteries when used together.
We have always focused on better filtering and surge protection in our hybrid designs based on past experience and I suspected that...
Guys, I wanted to supply details on the bulbs and methodology for this video here
we used the keystone KT-LED13PAR38-F-840 to avoid flicker, the GE relax LED8DAGSW90 was the flickering one
the strip lights were Lowes utilitech
the two bright lights in the middle were 40W high power bulbs...
All, I just want this thread out there if people have concerns about PV capacity annd how the MPPTs are supposed to work on the 18Kpv
We have:
-1x 25A input
-2x15A inputs
Both of these are max voltage open circuit (VOC ) of 600v, always derate for colder temperatures as the name plate VOC on a...
UPDATED:
Issue #1: neutral-ground bonding, we have had these units ship under the American version, The PCB is not the same, some others here show removing the screw bond, but then find that the board still has a conductor trace that leaks to ground. This is why you need to buy these from an...
Alright guys!
Here is some data about running a whole house off the grid/in self consume mode for several months on the 18k AIO
Battery charge+discharge efficiency is 89.4% for energy stored and used after sunset
daytime efficiency is 97.5%, power coming directly from solar panels to AC output...
OK, to get to the point here you will not get some “spread out of power production” by pointing your panels direct east and west. In summary the sum of the gains in the morning for the east panels plus the sum of the losses in the morning from the west panels equal the same production curve...
In order to get over 1500w of 48v power before people had to get a dedicated inverter like a 5000es to charge their batteries, in several systems that had this the guys and I would refer to these dedicated charging inverters as "Chargeverters"
Just saw the question 100 times and had to put...
EG4 products are UL tested and rated by other NRTL labs as well. no pass would have been granted with AC-only breakers in use
we have posted videos of them tripping with DC in the appropriate time.
EG4 has never used AC-Only breakers on batteries
Threads or comments implying otherwise are...
This question comes up a decent amount, since the mppt is power-limiting what would be the harm with using more solar, like 12kw on a single 6500w unit if you have it?
The units will initially work alright if you keep the VOC limit minded, you could use 30kw and you would work fine for a good...
Here is the case on the spreadsheet below
Less than 5% more power in my Texas case study, if you pay even $2k more for that you will never pay out, plus you just gave yourself a job

Folks, rumors are here and there of incompatibility with one inverter or another, here are the brands we have tried fully so far:
-SolArk
-Growatt
-MPP solar/Rich Solar
-Schhneider Conext, All Models
-Outback Radian, FXR, (the 3524 requires 3 packs though, most 24v needs at least 2 packs)...

One thing about ESS systems that is often overlooked is the requirement to keep flammable materials over 4ft away in all directions.
It's not as much about the batteries...
Guys, I figured I would start a thread here, I only ask that all comments contain math in them as this is a math problem, too many words only comments on other threads IMO
here are the numbers I am seeing in Texas:
1600kwh/kw/year (grid tied) -battery system inefficiency (~10%)...
This video should cover everything, if you have any issues pls let us know in the comments below or share your success system images.
IMPORTANT: you do not need to buy the Schneider battery monitor if you buy these batteries; save yourself some money pls.
Wanted some ideas guys for things people would like discussed in more unscripted convos with the community.
Just post any topic that might make a valuable conversation
We actually put a diesel drenched rope in it first, then had to up the temp by pouring more diesel in and dropping in the rag.
A class D fire extinguisher was on hand to put it out if an issue had started thermal runaway.
This is not covered under warranty LOL
Guys, have some friends looking to have a high joule fence charger that they want to move around.
Typically calls for 2x6ft ground rods
Are there any grounding kits out there with multiple small rods that add up to that and the assembly can move easily?
Just a couple notes:
-The loads on the 2 unit parallel test were not blind unbalanced
-The one unit test was run long enough to demonstrate continuous capacity
Let us know what the team could go further on next time if y'all get any ideas
Hi Guys, posting this from another thread, maybe we can get some argument on these points if there is anything I missed.
We have sold lots of both types and I would like to try to help compare with the info we have
So here are the comparative pros of each:
EG4:
-500v PV input means no combiner...
