  • Off Grid - Limited Winter Sun - System Help

    I am putting together a 100% off grid system for a new home. Max draw in a day about 30kwh. It's in western Washington so lots of fall/winter cloud cover and due to the particular location on a north facing hill with only about an hour of direct sun in the winter months (likely from behind...
  • Extremely variable generator charge wattage

    I have an EG4 18kvp and a PowerPro battery. I am currently using it as an off-grid generator only, no solar yet. When I recharge the battery with my 6000 running watts, 7500 peak 240v 30amp Champion generator hooked into the 18kvp generator inputs, the charge rate is typically only about 3500...
  • Two banks in one rack?

    So, I have an 18kvp, a powerpro 280ah battery, and 6 Lifepower4 100ah batteries. I have an EG4 rack for the six LP4 batteries. However according to EG4 hooking a bank of six LP4 to the system will create "sever" balancing issues. So I have to have banks of 3, but I don't want to purchase...

  • 6500EX-48 Inductive Loads?

    We are going to be 100% off grid, looking at two EG4 6500EX-48s for the heart of our system. My hesitation is that there doesn't seem to be much real world off-grid use information on these. Can it handle a well pump kicking in at the same time the dryer, vacuum cleaner, fridge, dishwasher...
  • Can you charge from your genset through both inverter and chargeverter simultaneously?

    I have an EG4 18kvp, it's has a 90amp generator throughput for charging. Can I hook my 14kw kohler generator (can run continuously at 14kw) to both the 18kvp generator hook-up and a chargeverter simultaneously, getting 190amps of charge to the batteries? I have 6 EG4 Lifepower4 in a rack and...
