  • Post in thread: Best way to find AC power usage and battery draw?

    Hi, I have a similar question. I have a 3-ton AC unit on my home and I am installing two EG4 6500EX-48's in split phase. I found on my AC unit the attached label. Reading this, the LRA is 100, which would equate to 24kW surge potential? Looking at the specs on the inverter it shows 13kW...
  • Post in thread: EG4 LifePower Battery Issues

    Hi everyone, I'm seeking help here. My system is new within the last month. I have a bank of 5 EG4 LifePower batteries in a server rack coupled to two EG4 6500EX inverters, right now I just have 3 solar panels hooked up as I'm not finished with my array but I plan to have 12 once finished. I...

    Yeah, that seems to be the case. I haven't hooked up the laptop to the batteries yet, but I think I need to do that to see what the individual cells are doing. I don't think SA has the ability to do this, but the battery software does. So I'll work on that.
  • Post in thread: Relay / switch to disconnect non-essential loads panel when no grid?

    Jeff, do you have more details on how this actually works. I have the same problem where I have a hot tub that runs all day at about 300W but then when the jets or the heater come on it can easily jump to about 10kW. I'd like to automatically switch to grid power in these events. Is it...
  • Post in thread: Solar Assistant Data Download

    Hello, I am trying to download data from solar assistant for the past month. However when I select this time range, it gives me increments of data every 20 minutes. I want to total up how many kWh I've used, but 20 minute increments introduces a lot of error into the calculations. If I...

    Alright, full disclosure, I'm a mechanical engineer playing in an electrical world :) What do you mean by "0.05c" and how do I hold at the voltage...assume that I remove all loads other than the inverter???

    Perfect thank you! I'll try that.
  • Post in thread: EG4 6800EX error 71

    Has anyone had success fixing this issue? I'm having the same problem this morning. Error 71 (not Fault 71). I have 5 batteries in my setup with two EG4 6500 EX inverters and I'm getting this error code. Two of my batteries have 1 green dot and three of the batteries have 2 green dots. No...
