Looks like to me, that my freezer plugged into the EG4 6500ex produces a power bump that causes my lights to blink. I did update to the most latest and greatest firmware and that hasn't helped my freezer bump problem. I may have a capacitor going out in that freezer, I don't know. I'll have...

I built Will's build : 6500 build Which was 4/0 from batts to ckt breaker. 2/0 from ckt breaker to inverter.

Blinks continued after dark... and it did blink when I had the freezers and fridges on line.

With the fridg and freezer not on the solar inverter. And the only load is old incandescent light bulbs (2).. and I'm still getting the Blink. I'm thinking that if I do go for something else for a inverter and solar controller combo I'm going to have the same problem. Then if I go for a...

No.. If you go to a light switch and turn the light on.. then off then on again real fast.. that's it. "single" flicker. Or more like a Blink.

LOL.. that's super and I may have to ask for an RMA. Some are using the LV 6548 units. Box looks the same as my EG4 6500ex!.. More research and reading the forum (s) is a requirement. The SS guy commented that the new firmware fixed the problem. I admit it seems to have made my lights...

The flicker is just a off and on dimming of the bulb. My computer monitors "click" when this happens. I took the computer system off the solar power. Yup.. just off and back on. Fast but very noticeable.

Last night.. and after the FirmWare change.. Flickers every 55 min. This morning we have a flicker around every 1/2 hour. So much for that as a cure. What should I try now. Can't have this flicker.

Well guys?.. SS talked me into upgrading the firmware. I've got the latest and greatest firmware now. I'm watching. Plugged in two freezers and two Refers and my light on the desk here. My eyes are peeled. o_O

Thanks.. Looks to me like this equipment has many "names" on them. EG4, MPP, DinoBlaster.. All the same. (except for that last one. (grin))

I was looking for a 6548.. SS doesn't list them.. where did you buy yours? You can pm me if you like ...

Hi again, Anything new? As in a fix .. or do I have to change out my 6500 for something? I, have only one 6500 running off grid and feeding 2 freezers and two refrigerators and 1 desk lamp and no matter what, either night or day, the lights on my computer desk flicker. ( about 3 times per...

Nice graphs of the problem.. What did you use to capture those wave forms? Really nice. So far I've seen no cure for the blinky lights. Crazy.

I've noticed some of the "pros" run a ground with the two PV runs. ?? What do you think?

I think I saw Will with a little Oscope.. maybe he would be able to check the output of the 6500's to show the Sine wave form? Sig Solar should have done this. I wrote them about the crazy App they have even though I've got it working it doesn't always work and if super slow to show changes...
