    Sharing solar panel mounting idea.

    Just sharing….decided to build a large privacy fence on my property, noticed I could fit about 20 Trina 250 watt panels side by side on top of that fence and decided to build accordingly. Built an adjustable tiltable top on it. Can go from 16 degree and all the way direct opposite direction...

    Eg4 6000ex single unit enough?

    I talked with sig solar and they directed me to their refurbished units.$898 I believe it was plus shipping and tax. I ask their input and they assured me there is nothing wrong with the 6000ex. And shouldn’t have issues with them if used correctly. Told me the upgrade unit is for those who...

    Parallel eg4 6000ex.

    After some discussion I contacted signature solar and they sent me a link to their refurbished eg4 6000ex, decided 1 unit wasnt gonna be enough. I purchased the 2nd unit and awaiting its arrival. Right now I have my battery bank with 4/0 cables running into a T class 300amp fuse, into a...

    Eg4 6000ex single unit enough?

    I think I saw that post and also a video on you tube of one a guy bought that looked to been dropped off a building. I don’t want anything like that either. Wish the 18k was out when I purchased the 6000ex. Or that I could have purchased 2 6000ex, but seemed impossible to find 2 in stock at the...

    EG4 Trade in credits??!!?? NOICE!!

    What changes to my 6000ex setup would have to be changed to utilize the new 6000xp unit. I have just installed my 6000ex. Bought over a year ago with intentions of buying a second and got set back on installing, cause I could never catch another in stock when I looked. Now I’m seeing I can’t...

    Eg4 6000ex single unit enough?

    Yes, as did I b4 making this post. Seen an exchange going in and was like ok sweet. Then noticed they wanted $750 and mine for the new unit. My unit has never been used and I paid sig solar right around $1500 for it. Hard to want to eat the other half with it being same condition it was when I...

    Eg4 6000ex single unit enough?

    Thanks a lot for the reply. We fully intended on adding to the system as we went, but wasn’t certain on real world performance of this inverter. We intend on switching the water heater over to propane as well. Leaving the well pump the largest item in the power system. I wish they had the 18k...

    Eg4 6000ex single unit enough?

    I’m closing in on finishing my solar setup. Just need to mount my 30 Trina panels and wire them to the inverter and eg4 mppt. I live fully off grid, is this single unit enough? I currently have 1 6000ex, 5 eco worthy 48 volt 50ah batteries in series.”gonna add 3 more soon for 2 banks of 4” I...
