Eg4 18kpv luxpower, 2 wall mount batts 280ahr+ 4 eg4 lifepower4 server rack batteries, 2solar arrays 6 panel series and 12 panel series fed into #2 and #3 inputs 370w panels
Running off grid for over a week no problem 4500w water heater, 4000w+ well pump, and 4ton ac intermittently as a load dump bringing in more than I need.
Firmware update 2 days ago
So I'm grid tied but have had main disconnect between feeder tap and inverter off because when I initially brought it online it was still using some grid pwr so I left it this way till I could figure out right settings for "self consumption mode" the manual kinda jumps around and some of the terms didn't make sense I even downloaded the Luxpower 12k hybrid manual to compare
So anyways today batteries over 76% 4k+ solar coming in I turned on the 4ton ac and it seemed to struggle starting also lights were all flickering and when air handler kicked in it mad an odd grouling sound and flickering worsened so I turned ac switch to off and back to cool this gave me 3 min to get downstairs to monitor inverter when compressor kicks in watching the interface "no faults or alarms recorded" could not see a change on display hred slight buzz as compressor attempts to start 0.5-1.5 seconds nostart it (unit has defrost board and sensitive to power fluctuations it is also like 18yrs old) so I proceeded outside for next attempt and almost instantly kicks out this time. So I turn on main disconnect to inverter and proceeded inside and restart inverter now while on grid bypass for (300sec. default) the ac starts right up and seamlessly transfers to inverted power after elapsed time and has been running ever since.
I will update with some screen shots of display settings and firmware I took after reset
They are on my phone that's why not in this post
This is all brand new equipment from Signature Solar if one of team members wants to login and check it out its online and I'm game for that
