    Happy Friday
  • Post in thread: More interesting cycle life data

    reached out and got the actual test sheet by Ganfeng may answer some questions, every cycle is detailed https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-50IGiAJ7CVvpWwZYjL3IO-nFlS9VUgD/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=114974686067450421009&rtpof=true&sd=true

    Next domino on the way….
  • Post in thread: PV voltage on EG4 6500-EX-48

    somebody got this confused it is 500VOC 450VMPP The manual is right, we made it. I'll make sure this instance is talked about in the support dept, will probably make 13 ppl laugh and 1 person laugh nervously.

    Megarevo Plus 9 months of firmware dev because their stuff was pretty rough. Parallels up to 4

    Well, it will be easier for them to help now that we did all the work lol
  • Post in thread: EG4 new AIO rated 12K output and 18kPV aka "EG4-18Kpv-12LV"

    We saying that if you can get your BMS company to match comms with lux then you are fine, also if you have to go open loop your inverter warranty is valid but we have strongly unadvised and warned against this in case your bank catches fire and the insurance company sends us a letter. we are...
  • Post in thread: Where the "ChargeVerter" name comes from

    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...

  • Post in thread: EG4 LL Battery Discharging and Charging Slower Than The Rest

    100% and with our SOH monitoring over the 3 years of development they have been aligned with the 7000cycles rating. we are a Texas company with over 50 people working here, the warranty we provided is a real responsibility on our end, this is not a "collapsing shell scheme" from an international...
  • Post in thread: 25A 48V charger only putting out low 14A 700-800 watts

    We are finding some issues with the most recent batch capping out at 17-20A, this is unacceptable, and we are working on nailing down what serial numbers are involved. the main engineer team at the factory is out due to Asian new year but we will either rebate/replace to make this right as...
  • Post in thread: EG4 new AIO rated 12K output and 18kPV aka "EG4-18Kpv-12LV"

    (8250-5599)/8250= 32% reduced $500 battery credit per inverter =$5099 8250-5099= 38% reduced many cases where 1 15k will be slightly small an 18k will with the LoadSurge and line balance feature will do the job, (also 21kw max solar vs 17kW) the game is no longer direct convert to AC it is...

  • Post in thread: Running EG4 18K (12K) with Eg4 6000 on same battery bank

    technically you could use the 6k as the generator input to the 18kpv and increase AC capacity that way. we need to do some testing on this to speak from experience but there seems to be no reason it wouldn't work
  • Post in thread: States/Cities Attempting To Limit You Self Produced Power...

    Welp, I doubt we all agree about politics here but the cool thing is the denominator that I think we all share is a value for freedom and the conviction that it is worth getting your hands dirty to have.
  • Post in thread: Schneider XW pro 6k vs. Eg4 18k - need help deciding

    we really don't have a load, including 240v compressors that the 18kpv won't run. the Schneider system is the most proven long life of any inverter company though. the sheer volume of 18kpvs going out the door today and the very enthusiastic response will secure longevity of support for the unit.
  • Post in thread: EG4 new AIO rated 12K output and 18kPV aka "EG4-18Kpv-12LV"

    Right! The MPPTs can handle a lot more PV than 21 or 18kw, the reason is that many people have low voltage strings. We added a major capacity overbuild spec here as well to ensure it could be used in the maximum number of needed configurations
  • Post in thread: EG4 new AIO rated 12K output and 18kPV aka "EG4-18Kpv-12LV"

  • Post in thread: Safe Grid Use of the 5000ES and transformer

    Please familiarize yourself with dedicated grounds, they are used in many other aspects of solar installs. If you are an off grid user you are installing your own ground rod anyway. I'm sorry you've worked yourself up here but it is a $16 part and lowe's/ every other hardware store carry bundles...
  • Post in thread: Do I really want to sell back?

    The era of investing in a "sell to the grid scheme" is coming to an end. Batteries and the improving controllers for them will make it possible to affordably make your own net metering
  • Post in thread: BMS Warning from Andy Off Grid Garage

    The production value here is impressive
  • Post in thread: EG4 new AIO rated 12K output and 18kPV aka "EG4-18Kpv-12LV"

    none of our bulbs flicker on the test wall with this, just like the Schneider.
  • Post in thread: Local Pittsburgh Solar Battery Fire

    not all prohibit it
  • Post in thread: EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    already paralleled... another thing we fixed that suddenly appeared in envy... you're welcome :)
  • Post in thread: Victron Multiplus 3000 and EG4 Lifepower Battery Compatibility Issues?

    @SoCalKevin message me for a full order value credit here at signature solar, you have provided hugely helpful feedback, the 12v400 pack is kind of a stepchild that we should have tried with more inverters first, we will lean in and improve as we get some more gear, my victron multiplus 3000 is...
  • Post in thread: Signature Solar Sales/Discounts ... do they do this often or is this Really a Sale?

    -If you called us wanting to buy 4 units at a commercial rate you would be under $4500 all day with battery discount -we are retail $5099 if bought with our batteries
  • Post in thread: Fortress 12K Buy one get one FREE!

    + tariffs is probably not true there is zero money for warranty there. total exit due to competition
  • Post in thread: EG4 new AIO rated 12K output and 18kPV aka "EG4-18Kpv-12LV"

    you guy do know that there is no absolute zero export model on the market? we've got all the brands here with meters. we go up to 30w if you keep the grid always connected, I have no other brand in the lab that doesn't go higher. if you want absolute zero export so far the grid disconnect relay...
  • Post in thread: 6500EX-48 Inductive Loads?

    we do need a torture test on a 2x6500ex stack the core factors @Samsonite801 mentioned are correct, each inverter is assigned to one leg and it trips based on overload of the indiidual leg
  • Post in thread: EG4 Trade in credits??!!?? NOICE!!

    So, to be clear, the whole house guys with 2x6500ex or 2x 6000ex will get $1500 off of the 18kpv, net cost $4099. most of our 6.5-6kw customers who have them for the features they are designed for are happy, if you want to take the next step up this makes it easier financially.
