I have a PowerPro battery, grid input and a ~15k solar system spread over 3 arrays. Is there a proper procedure to the initial startup? I'm not finding anything in the manual or the EG4 YouTube videos. It just goes straight from connecting everything to having your unit up and running and updating the firmware. Any best practices to follow?
18kpv - startup process?

Solar Sponge.
If it were me and you know all your settings are correct.
1 bring up Inverter, make sure stable.
2 Add loads and continue to monitor.
Should be pretty straightforward.
Any questions call The reseller you purchased from for anything in particular they would recommend.

I recommend starting by closing the battery breaker on the 18k, then powering on your battery. Next, close your PV breakers, and finally, the Grid. To turn off, simply reverse this order.

Solar Joules are catch and release
Hmm, battery first, then PV, then grid? I'd have guessed grid first, then firmware updates, then batteries, then PV. Good to know, I should start commissioning RSN...
What's the sequence for parallel 18Kpv inverters?
To initiate, begin by closing both battery breakers on the 18k and then activating all your batteries. Proceed by closing the PV breakers, followed by the Grid inputs for both units. Typically, commence with the master switch for all these operations.

Thanks for the confirmation. At what point do I do firmware updates and configure them for parallel operation?

And don't parallel the outputs (or turn on the LOAD breakers) until after that, I assume?

Hey Ubby thanks for asking this! I ran into the same thing - everything connected? great now update the firmware. I mean, having a bit more info would be nice! lol
I'm powering up for the first time tomorrow. I might take a bit of video to show the process.
