Probably going down hill with a 45mph tail wind, if you know what I mean.The non-solar Eg4 units on the signature solar site have a seer2 ratings of 28.5 to 29.5 depending on the size of the unit. That alone would be a reason to consider them.
Kinda like my Lifan x-pect hitting 72mph going down the hill today with the wind at my back, it couldn't hold 55 going back up ?Probably going down hill with a 45mph tail wind, if you know what I mean.
Had to look it up. Did they used to make little quads? 72mph is fast on a dirt bike man.Kinda like my Lifan x-pect hitting 72mph going down the hill today with the wind at my back, it couldn't hold 55 going back up ?
I think so years ago, they sell lots of powered equipment in China and some in the US. I wish I bought the KPX-250.Had to look it up. Did they used to make little quads? 72mph is fast on a dirt bike man.
I like the idea of the "not having to pull a vacuum line set" I've done some research and have not found any other brand other than the MR Cool 4th gen and the EG4 brand. But if there would be a problem I'd probably have better result with service with Mr Cool. I'd been using a Pioneer now for 5 yrs, been great, looking for another but with the quick connect lines.
I didn't, but I will explain your thought. Service is some thing like the company answering the phone with answers when you call or parts when you need them or warranty issues. Serviceable is like when you need to work on it.Why do you say that the Mr. Cool's more serviceable than the EG4s?
Oh ok, heard. Makes sense.I didn't, but I will explain your thought. Service is some thing like the company answering the phone with answers when you call or parts when you need them or warranty issues. Serviceable is like when you need to work on it.
If a EG4 mini split stops working, you call Signature Solar for the drama.
No need to connect direct to panels unless you are running three EF4 6000's and don't want to cut back on other electric uses....I don't want to have to count watts...
Let us know how that works out for you on direct solar to mini splits.......I want to turn on any and all appliances whenever I need to without thought.....direct to solar mini splits let me do this....besides these are going in my barn which has no batteries or inverters.....
I have an off grid property that I visit on weekends.To me, it is a waste of PV to run a mini split that has dedicated PV to power it, mevermind the cloudy day problem. If it needs to be connected to AC power for cloudy days then it might as well be connected to the inverter system 24/7 instead of dedicated PV.

I do not leave my PV system powered up when I am not there.
I got the EG4 hybrid so I can run the AC for humidity (and temp) control when I am not there.
If it's cloudy/partly cloudy, you will most likely find it won't be cool when you get there.Before I got it, the room temperature would be in the mid 80s when I arrived in the mornings.
It would feel stuffy and humid. It would take hours to cool everything down.
This weekend, the room temperature was 73 when I got there. The day before, the outside temperature was in the upper 90s.
The cabin was relatively cool, and dry feeling. I kind of like that.
It's not a waste of PV to me.
That would be the hybrid part.How would it run if you do not leave the PV system powered up when you aren't there? "I do not leave my PV system powered up when I am not there"
A waste of resources and capital. Any panel degrades over time as well as any battery system.That would be the hybrid part.
You know, the PV you hate wasting.
My main array and controller are turned off, and the HVAC is on PV direct only.
Anything beats a zero.If it's cloudy/partly cloudy, you will most likely find it won't be cool when you get there.
Don't want one? Don't get one. That would be my advice.A waste of resources and capital.
That goes for just EG4 hybrid mini split owners?Any panel degrades over time as well as any battery system.
Is the whole point of the forum to get the opinions of other members?Not in my opinion (and that's the only one that matters).
That cuts both ways amigo.Is the whole point of the forum to get the opinions of other members?

When I am there, you do realize that if my mini split panels are not producing, my main panels will not be producing either.
The ONLY time the PV will be "wasted" is when it is a SUNNY day, and my mini split is not running full tilt.
I have spare panels. Are they wasted? Not in my opinion (and that's the only one that matters).
Don't want one? Don't get one. That would be my advice.
I will just keep enjoying mine.
What I would REALLY like to waste my resources and capital on is a mini split that runs off of 48VDC, and PV direct.
THAT would be nice.
The return on the initial cost for many is the deciding factor on switching to off grid or grid load reduction. Panels that sit idle still have a cost associated and that cost is low Kwh yield over the lifetime of the panel. This means the cost to produce that Kwh is much higher.That goes for just EG4 hybrid mini split owners?
What difference does it make if they are powering my HVAC, or powering my controller? They are going to degrade regardless.
When things break, I buy new things, or repair the old things.
I made a typing mistake. Was trying to say ISNT the point of the forum to read the opinions of the other members? I never knew a PV only mini split existed. Every time i come here i learn something new.That cuts both ways amigo.
