SS received my 6500 on Monday, sent out new replacement on Wednesday. Pretty good service so far.

To run this chargeveter from utility power would a 240 volt 30 amp breaker suffice?

Thank you for all your advice. As time and money permit, I might pick up an EG4 3k(or 2) or that lv6048 as a backup to the backup. I could feed it into to load center with the breaker off until needed right?

SS received my broken 6500 on Monday and it's replacement was sent out on Wednesday, scheduled to arrive on Friday. Pretty good service so far.

Yes, clear as mud :) will try this weekend and thank you for the explanation.

FYI I did get an email response to my question from SS Daniel Broyles, (within 10 minutes).

I didn't even think of the 3k.... I figure I need about 4000 watts to run 2 2-ton mini spits?

and yes I guess the grid is the backup, but it just seems wasteful having all that south texas sun and no way to harvest it. It is cheaper to just wait on replacements than to spend more on extra equipment.

Ground mount. All my solar currently goes from solar panel to 10 gauge wire to a DC disconnect to pv imput. What breaker should I be using?

I think I will play it safe and keep it at 85(y)

Yes, one made a large bang noise and triped its battery breaker, Came down stairs and turned everything off. Second inverter wouldn't turn back on. When I try to restart them batteries go into error mode within 10 seconds. System had been working great before this

The one that failed first was the replacement.

I will probably go 6 in series into pv1 and 6 into pv2.... if later I decide to parallel the 2 strings with a y branch into pv1 do I need any type of fuse when using 10 gauge solar wire?

I have 12 of these panels and was wondering how to best add to my eg4 6500 pv inputs. 6 in series into pv1 and 6 in series into pv2 or combine the two into a parallel string into pv1? Thank you for imput.

On Monday Reported a flashing 32 error on one of my 6500 and still waiting for a reply....

Replaced 2 6500ex with 2 new 6500ex (under warranty), Build dates are 10 2022, software U1 79 63 and U2 61 12 on both. With 6 eg4 life power batteries in the cabinet. I have the ground-neutral bond in the breaker box. No AC input. 12k of solar The only issue I am having is I set 2p1 setting 5...

I am waiting on the RMA process for my 2 shorted 6500ex. I need some advice on a backup inverter to keep two mini spits working on my battery/solar setup. Thinking of getting Growatt 6k or eg4 6000 (I need spit phase). Any advice or thoughts are much appreciated.

Some more information.... Currently running on grid power, but I have 6 eg4 batteries and 12k of solar just idle. Does having a back make sense or just a waste of money?

Thank you for quick reply. I already have 2 eg4 6500 running in split phase and i wasnt sure if its more efficient to aim for higer voltage or amps in adding extra solar to 2nd eg4 and probably not adding more solar panels...

Yes, sbu with no utility to either inverter. 1st 6500 has 3k on pv1 one 3.4k on pv2. On reaching the max 500 volts on the pv inputs, am I looking at open circuit voltage (49.5) x 12 or optimum operating voltage (37) x 12?

Sorry I meant 45.5 voc.

So according to the graph... even running full speed I should never exceed 7200 watts?

Welcome to the Great State of Texas, Yes those mini splits pay for themselves easily.

I also have been waiting for support. Week 2 on 2 dead 6500ex, but I only spent a little over $21000 with signature solar and I am not an influencer. SS you must do better.

Ben can you help with tech support? I called for tech support 2 weeks ago, sent required pictures 1week ago and latest from yesterday is someone will contact you soon?

ok, the battery charging issue seems to have taken care of itself. I think the units needed time to recognize all the batteries installed. What about the ground ground-neutral bond? I think because I am running in spit phase and my GN ground is in my panel, I would need to update to the latest...
