Luxpower tek important US users press release includes EG4 6000XP

solarmatthew · Jun 15, 2024

This was released on X the other day and I asked LUXPOWER if this included the EG4 6000xp. They confirm it does. Not sure what it means to most of us but sounds like they are emphasizing not to connect to the grid with these inverters. Am I reading this wrong? Thoughts folks.

This isn't news. It's known. It only has UL1741 certification.

Does this mean that if it is used outside the USA and Canada it can be used to back feed the grid?

The luxpower firmware can and I'm guessing the eg4 version as well, hence the cya notification.

Can anyone confirm what they see on their 6000xp? I was toying around with buying the lux model to enable grid assist with zero export. I bet they take the option out of it's there.

Would be nice to know for sure as my utility provider is requiring residential solar to be grid-tied.

How can they force that? Do they really have the authority to say you can't self consume your own power without rhem involved?

I'd be giving them a rude gesture. Anything past the meter box is mine, so they can shove off.

That is what an Automatic Transfer Switch is for. Put in a subpanel, hook it all up, tell them "KMA".

I hear all you say and fully agree, however, when the utility provider is state-owned they can pass laws to do that. I do currently have a transfer switch but if the 6000XP can support grid tie then it would make the connection much simpler and legal according to them. I have zero interest in exporting so I would only do that if battery is full.

What state are you in?

I don't live in the USA.

EG4 18KPV - What not to do in parallel

So as many of you may know I posted a thread about my neighbor having an issue with his EG4 18k Inverters. System Information: 60 Panels 2 EG4 18k in parallel No Battery Summary of the issue: When the grid connection is removed, the inverters would begin to provide 400v to the mains input side...

I think it’s due to this video at the 32 minute mark.

I saw it, looks like it would have to be someone from Luxpower to enable it.
