I got some help from Markus, he has different settings he can change that I don't see on my EG4 monitoring interface, one of those being "Start PV Volt(V)". Mine was set to 140 and he changed it to 280. The sun is about to go down so we'll see if the sunset trips my power and after sunrise...
My EG4 18kPV is resetting every day, repeatedly, every morning and evening. Usually about 5-15 times before it comes up and stays up. My whole house goes out for 1 a second, then things start up again, then goes out, and so on. It seems to happen at sunrise and sunset so I feel it might be...
Looks like increasing the "Start PV Volt(V)" value fixed my issues. Thanks @Markus_EG4
For anyone having this issue, I don't think you can change this value your self for some reason, need to contact EG4 (ie: Markus) to get it done.
That's interesting, I didn't get on 1616 as my unit wouldn't take that upgrade (I guess that's a good thing). I was on 1312 and I didn't seem to have any issues, then after the upgrade to to 1717, things started going bad.
I'm looking to get the 12k EG4 heat pump/AC, but my outdoor electric boxes connected to my old units are 240v. Is it easy to downgrade the voltage?
I probably wouldn't do this myself, but I'm wondering if it's a big process. If it's easy, I'd downvolt it and get the 12k or maybe buy an 18k or...
So I tried to set the battery to lithium, but I'm unable to set it. It's on the second page of advanced on the LCD, I click the drop down, then it asks me for the password. Once I enter the password it goes back to the first page. If I click down again, it goes back to the homepage... 🤦...
Depending on the day, my batteries flip back and forth from charging to discharging depending on the moment in time (ie: a cloud floats over, or something gets turned on).
Is there a way to let it charge more before it starts to discharge and let it use the grid instead? For instance, say I'd...
Did you figure this out? I have a similar situation or my main breaker is in the middle of my house, but I want to put the Smart panels and batteries in the garage.
I followed the instructions exactly, put master on dip switch 1, (first switch on the left down) and the second one on dip switch 2 (second from the left down), connected everything up like it said, turned them on, flipped all the breakers, but it's like the 18k doesn't know they are there...
I want to add some more panels to my setup and just want to make sure I'm not overdoing it.
I have the Aptos 400w panels which have VOC: 37.18V, ISC: 12.99A.
I'd like to put 16 of them on one string into the 25 A port which I think might be too much.
16 * 37.8 = 604.8 V (I think the max...
I have an 18kPV, but I want to know if the 6000XP could be used in the exact same scenario on a smaller house. I'm using the grid for pass through power (when I use more than my panels and at night). Can the 6000XP be used the exact same way or is there some kind of limitation?
