yes, I was thinking the same thing. But it seems like throwing good money after bad, since the output does not live up to the specs. But that is probably my only path fwd.

blrmaker - I see you are using the same panels I have, Hyperion 400 w, 500w bifacial. Curious to see what kind of output you get. I have 4 of these and am getting less than half of what they are rated for. Individually I measure VOC of 32.4v. My string of 4 in series only gets about 700 watts...

I have installed 4 Hyperion 400 W panels (500w bifacial) on an EG4 Brightmount rack from Signature Solar, and I'm only getting less than 200 watts from each. I have these 4 in series and when I measure them end to end I get 129-132 volts VOC. This drops to about 120v to the MPPT in the EG4 6000...

FYI - the battery was sold today. Thanks!

I'm in Richardson, near Renner and North Star, about 2 miles from the Bush and Renner. Here is my personal email tombo06@gmail.com. Tom.

[SOLD] - I have one EG4 LifePower4 48v 100 Ah battery for sale in the north Dallas area. Purchased from Signature Solar and used one year. Disconnected last Thanksgiving, when I built a bigger system with PowerPro batteries. Paid $1500, will take $800. I don't want to ship this, but if you are...

Thanks Zapper77, that is exactly what I want. So I will have two XPs, so I guess I can assume each will pass 50 A from the grid and as long as my panel isn't drawing >100A, the inverters and batteries will be supplying power. If that is true then I will rarely pull from the grid, as long as I...

thanks for this. I have 2 6000 XPs and 2 PowerPro batteries on order.

Thanks DIYrich - due to the cost of the 18KPV I ordered two 6000's from Sig Solar. That will be easier for me to install too. I need to see what the stand by power is from those, but I don't think it is much.

Thanks for the replies. I also talked to Signature Solar and they confirmed the same. For my application, the 18KPV is overkill, since I will never have more than 6kw in solar panels. So with two XPs I can supply up to 50 A, so if my panel needs to draw more, then it will come from the grid.

That's right, with a transfer switch before the main panel, so I can drive the panel with the grid or the inverters. I don't want to install a sub panel. What I think I just learned from the forum was that if you need to draw > 50 A, 2 XPs can't supply that, so the power will all come from the...

Hi, I have been reading everything I can find about using EG4 6000 XPs. I need some advice on the grid hook up for a system I am building. I will have 2 EG4 6000 XPs and 2 PowerPro batteries. My solar array will be about 4kw at first. I am not a big power user. Mainly need to run 2 AC units (2...

Thanks for the reply. I can only fit in my space about 6 panels, so I want to see how much I can capture with say 6 330 watt panels. What ever I get I want to see if I can use that for my EV or 120 v loads. I think what I need to do is get some panels and an MPPT and a battery or two, and see...

I am building a 48v off grid system like Will’s 240v MPP example, except I plan on using 2 EG4 3000 EHV’s. My goal is to charge my Tesla at 6Kw (240v, 25A), plus I want to be able to charge 120v loads also. I think I could make this simpler by just buying the Growatt SPF 6000T or MPP LV6048, but...
