EG4 24K mini split

Yes to be clear, to run 100% Solar you have to disconnect Grid (breaker). Mine works great. Others not so much some sort of MPPT issue T B D. If you have any problems it's been proven wise to leave Grid on and put up with the "40w"

Some kind of loading snafu on Solar aircon app. Others have experienced this. See also this thread here. I'm on Android 13.

Hi all! I'm Cary, from Texas. I'm wanting to get into all things solar, but my first project will be a solar powered mini split in my single car garage so we'll actually be able to go in there during the summer to work on cars. I'm highly intrigued by the EG4, but I have my first question.

If the unit can be powered directly from solar, why am I reading that an inverter is necessary to power from batteries? Is it because the unit was built without direct DC input? If so, is there a way around this. A way to power with 48V potentially?

I looked through here and didn't see where this had already been addressed. My apologies if it already has.

There should be some headroom engineered into that specification. Go for it.
