  • Post in thread: EG4 PowerPro Battery Firmware

    Thanks for the response. Seems like the old firmware was limited to 100A. New firmware defaults to 200A. 2x200A = 400. This was my confusion since my firmware was so old. Glad to be up and running at full capacity now. I've never heard the fans kick on when charging before. Them...
  • Post in thread: EG4 PowerPro vertical stacking?

    This is what I settled on. It aint pretty but it works. I will likely get some conduit runs from the battery junction boxes to tidy things up and add a bit of security.
  • Post in thread: EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    Just noticed that AC coupling now shows up on my graph! Super cool! I would still love an AC coupling "solar yield" section on the front page...but all of these updates are awesome! Keep up the good work!
  • Post in thread: EG4 14.3kWh PowerPro WallMount AllWeather Lithium Battery | 48V 280Ah

    I take it this requires a firmware update via the rj to USB cable?
  • Post in thread: EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    You need to focus on getting your phone connected and firmware updated. You are likely doing something wrong there. Follow the PDF listed above.
  • Post in thread: EG4 PowerPro Battery Firmware

    I just read this thread a bit closer and it seems like I have the wrong update cable? I have the RS485 and I need the RS-232. @EG4_Jarrett PM inbound.

    Alright....I get it. You guys are smarter than NASA and 99% of the world's scientists, it's a global conspiracy to get every scientist on board, and you guys aren't regurgitating the same old fossil fuel strawmen over and over. I'll be busy going through all of the data you guys have...

    It will just self activate....lol
  • Post in thread: EG4 18KPV Grid Draw

    robby hasn't seen something, therefor it can't possibly exist. robby is the most dangerous type of person to give advice. \ Ignore robby. The meter they put on my house can wirelessly talk to them, track everything, and make love to me while I sleep.

    I chickened out and went 94/95, but so far so good there!

  • Post in thread: IntegraRack: Ground Mount with Epoxy Ground Stakes and Ballast Options

    Cables are all cleaned up and look better than this now....I was experimenting 4s2p vs 8s so it was a bit of a rats nest.
  • Post in thread: EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    Wouldn't the EG4 just shut down once the RSD was hit, stop making "the grid", and the coupled system would just power down like a standard grid-down scenario?
  • Post in thread: EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    460watt Heilene panels, 10.9A, 42V. 8s setup. I'll click through the settings before connection but glad to hear I can get things up and running safely!

    The wife has a Kia Niro. It gets around 24-26 miles on a charge. I have a volvo xc60 t8 extended. It gets around 30 pure EV miles in the cold and 40 when it's nice. Rated at 35 miles of range and it does average out around there. Perfect for my 20 mile round trip commute every day. I'm...

    The concrete is sealed and humidity is controlled down there. But I was planning on putting it on a "500# moving dolly/platform" to keep it off the floor in case of flooding.

    And back to bigoted trash. Usually the people that talk like this have some underlying desires?
  • Post in thread: EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    My powerpro has not disappointed with it's anti-ruin itself capabilities thus far. The info came straight from EG4, I knocked 1% off because I'm paranoid.
  • Post in thread: Inflation Reduction Act may be Unconstitutional - Take your Credits ASAP

    Qanon leaked out tonight. I'd love to see a diet list of what you eat. I'm sure it's not at all been selected and modified for decades
  • Post in thread: Starting system design for EG4 18kpv grid tied w/ net metering + battery setup

    Are you using them with a non-solaredge inverter?
  • Post in thread: EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    Oncei ran home from work I restarted the inverter and everything started functioning normally again. Weird glitch. I'll see what happens over the next few days if the sun ever comes out
  • Post in thread: Starting system design for EG4 18kpv grid tied w/ net metering + battery setup

    Sorry I didn't see the second half of your statement. I don't really want to couple and have another point of failure.... I'm on my third solar edge inverter in the 4-5 years my system has been up and I kinda want the thing off my house.
  • Post in thread: EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    It changed colors! LOL. I did it on day 1 so I didn't use the old firmware for long enough to appreciate differences beyond colors.
  • Post in thread: EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    No problem it took me a bit to work through as well. You want your AC coupled power running loads and doing its thing during a grid out scenario so you do not want it kicking off low.
  • Post in thread: Inflation Reduction Act may be Unconstitutional - Take your Credits ASAP

    Wow... Such amazing data. You've bested 99% of scientists with that one! Better send it off to NASA! Make sure to CC space force
  • Post in thread: EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    Another update: Lots of goods for us AC coupled folks. Not sure what they mean, but I've been running it all day and so far so good. FAAB-1A1A 2024-04-22 Same as fAAB-1A1A, changes based on the FAAB-1919. 1.Add 2 minutes of Warmup to the generator microgrid mode. 2. Add split phase voltage...

    But then again half of the mouth breathers here know more than NASA so why do they even waste their time with us here? I'm sure they're running calculations on how to land little pieces of coal on the moon right now.
  • Post in thread: Inflation Reduction Act may be Unconstitutional - Take your Credits ASAP

    Yes.... These things are 100% the same. Maybe you need to open up the dictionary and look at some definitions before you "same thing" me and lump yourself in with the trash.
  • Post in thread: SolarEdge SE7600H-US and batteries

    Yep...panels going into the SE7600 for the original "grid tied system", and then a second array I added going directly into the 18kpv. The larger box to the left of the 18kpv is purely a 200A breaker that I use as my "disconnect" and an extra layer of security between the inverter and the power...
