Hey everyone, Specs: Eg4 3000EHV EG4 Lifepower4 battery Solar not connected yet AC In connected Finally got around to mounting, and wiring my shed this week. LifePower4 battery is hooked up to Eg4 3000EHV. AC in is hooked up and I have AC out going to a a Power Panel. Everything seems to be...

More newbie questions. I will have 24 panels split up into 2 strings in series. My panels will be ground mounted about 250 ft from the house (using 10 guage PV wire). I purchased a DiHool PV Disconnect Switch that contains Solar 40A circuit breakers. My choices of where to install this box...

Hopefully my last “newb” question. Eg4 3000 inverter Lifepower4 battery I have SA hooked up to the battery and inverter. I have the eg4 3000 set to USE as the battery type. All of this is working in SA. I have no utility hooked up. I do have the option but only want to use it as a last...

Hey everyone. I have a small shed I am building out. I have decided on a eg4 6000 for the inverter, eg4 48v 100ah battery and around 1600 watts of solar to start. I will eventually expand batteries and solar. I went to Home Depot today and bought 12/2 wiring, wall boxes, and receptacles. Where...

I have midnite solar spd's for all 3 strings for my 18kpv. I bought a 4th for AC and I am little confused where it should go. Should it be installed at my 200amp Fused service disconnect, fused disconnect that leads to the 18kpv, or at the main home panel?

Hey everyone. I currently have around 2 strings going to my 18kpv and they are doing great. These 2 strings are both pointing South. I am starting to plan a third string that will go on a pergola in my back yard. I am currently considering pointing the panels to the west to help extend the time...

I have purchased almost all my equipment but have a few questions. FYI This system will eventually sell back to the grid *Note: I am not doing the install. I have a master electrician friend that will be doing the majority of the work. Question 1: Does the attatched diagram look correct...

I am looking into buying a solark 15k or a eg4 18k. Any recommendations on a vendor for the sol ark 15k with good pricing? I would prefer the sol ark over the eg4 but the pricing really has me leaning towards the eg4.

I recently bought my first ev and purchased an emporia ev charger. I also have a eg4 18kpv with 4 eg4 indoor batteries. I do not export to the grid. I do pull from the grid when batteries are below 15%. I see that emporia offers the vue which can monitor energy usage and I also see you can set...

I currently have 4 305watt panels wired in series facing south (I plan to modify it a bit to face true south). They are doing a great job until around 5pm or so. That got me thinking, I can add 2-4 more panels on the roof of my shed. I can put 2 on each side which would cover east and west...

I believe I have all my settings good for now and understand them. I was running Solar Assistant just connected to my inverter (EG4 3000) and set the battery type to EG4 Battery Protocol. Everything looked good and was reporting but it was not reporting the temp of my battery. So I figured maybe...

Been going back and forth on this. I found a video online where someone wired there 18kpv like this. He is grid tied and sells back to the electric company. This passed inspection. This setup seems to be just like the diagram in the 18k manual for "Whole Home backup with Supply side tap"...

Getting ready to connect the EG4 Indoor Batteries to my 18kpv. The power cables that came with the battery are fine strands and I see nothing in the manual (18kpv or battery manual) about the need for ferrules when connecting to the inverter. Did you guys use ferrules or just connect them...

Ok I know this sounds like a big time newb question but I am trying to be safe. I have 12 400w panels that I plan to wire up today. Everything is mounted I just need to get them connected up to my imo dc disconnect. Once I do this is it safe to flip the dc disconnect to on while the sun is up?
