    Bifacial panel manufacturer choice(Jinko, Sunket?), advice needed.

    HI, i will receive a pallet of Das Solar 600 watt bifacial N type next week. On the paper and according to people who used it, it is really good. But huge and heavy panels for sure... Efficiency is very high 22.8% and high temp degradation seems very good. Price was also really really good...

    Limitation to AC coupling with EG4 18K, help required...

    SS just answered me today and yes GRID, Inverted power from batteries and or directly connected solar array to the 18k AND AC coupled power are available all together when grid is ON. When grid is down the limit is 12 kw from the 18 k added to the AC coupled array.....like Milsan1 and many other...

    Limitation to AC coupling with EG4 18K, help required...

    Thank you for the answer ! All clear now. Yes answer from SS is confusing, after 1 week still waiting for their last answer by the way..... Thanks to all members who took time to answer and help, truly appreciated!

    Limitation to AC coupling with EG4 18K, help required...

    So sorry for being dumb and asking many times things that may obvious to you but not to me. Everyone learn everyday...or should be. The answer i have been given by SS, the company who is selling the product under its brand, has not really convinced me to the point i came here to ask if.... I...

    Limitation to AC coupling with EG4 18K, help required...

    I will post here the answer of SS once i got it for sure. Meanwhile and in order to be understandable by the basic human being i am....here are the basic questions i still try to find a clear answer...if any expert could light my path...i would be happy ! Each time a 10 kwh array is AC coupled...

    Limitation to AC coupling with EG4 18K, help required...

    SS told me that...and i still can not figure out why because it does not make any sense...at all and would kill a lot of interest for the 18k... I asked basic questions for my knowledge and understanding as i am buying a product to them : - if AC coupled to 10 kwh array through the GEN port on...

    Limitation to AC coupling with EG4 18K, help required...

    Right after the first email exchange explaining my actual config, what i do plan to add and my goals, SS told me that AC coupling with the GEn port was the solution. They did not offer any alternatives. Now, i am waiting for the feedback of the representatives after they told me about the weird...

    Limitation to AC coupling with EG4 18K, help required...

    Well i was excepting the behavior i explained and understood for EG4 docs about the 18k but EG4 system design guy is telling me NO and Millsan1 is doing what i do plan to do with the 18k....so i guess i will disturb Millsan1 to be sure we are in the same configuration goals before buying for 25...

    Limitation to AC coupling with EG4 18K, help required...

    When batteries are full, loads are smaller than production and grid down you need to put the extra power somewhere and there's not so you need to stop the ac coupled array production. To do so the 18k will ramp up the frequency to 61.2 Hertz on the GEN port and the ac coupled inverter will shut...

    Limitation to AC coupling with EG4 18K, help required...

    Well i am no expert and the person who wrote me this is an EG4 employee of the System Design Team so i trusted them. You seems to have a similar system to the one i am building....and it seems to run just fine, if you are ok i will pm you for more details, thank you

    Limitation to AC coupling with EG4 18K, help required...

    It is a whole house system. And the problem is that EG4 told me that the grid pass through is NOT working when the 18K is AC coupled with the generator port. Its internal relays has only 2 poles so it is GRID/GEN, GEN/LOAD or GRID/LOAD so you can not pull in extra power from the grid if your...

    Limitation to AC coupling with EG4 18K, help required...

    Hi I am in talk with EG4 to finc a way to AC couple my current 9.75 kwh array with Fronius Primo 11.4 with new 18 kwh array and the EG4 18K inverter. Seems easy, plug the existant 9.75 kwh of the fronius on the Generator Input of the EG4 18K and voila (need to set the fronius into micro grid...

    EG4-18k Grid-tied with 7.6kw Ac-coupled

    Hi Thanks for sharing your experience. I am making plan for a similar system and would like to exchange informations with you. I have a 9,75 kwh grid tie system with a Fronius 11.4 kwh inverter that i plan to connect AC couple (connect the 9.75 kwh to the generator input of the eg4 inverter) to...

    Anyone setting up solar in Mexico? Specifically Merida, Yucatan?

    Hi guys ! I am in the same problem as you....i am in Cancun, got a 9.75 kwh grid tie system for 7 years and plan to add a 12 kwh hybrid system for power outage back and hurricane back up (already got a 10 000 watt LP gas gen back up) and importation is a problem... do you guys solved it ...

    Gen Auto Start questions

    Hi i have a champion 100297 model and i use it for backup and i am super interested on how you put automatic start on it, if you do not mind share with me. Thanks Vince
