    Solar Sovereign/EG4 18k

A day or so after I found this out the entire unit made a loud sound and completely stopped working. No lights or anything. Solar Sovereign said they were waiting for approval for...

    Power pro issues

    So I have 2 power pros that have been working for a couple months with my 18k pv. Last night they ran from 100% soc to 68% and stopped. I got temperature over range and they been working since. The inverter has the battery icon as yellow but it’s green in the app. Not sure why. Was on the phone...

    Powerpro design question

    I have two powerpro batteries and wanted to add a third. My question was can the battery cable from the parallel batteries be different lengths? I read that the lengths should be the same on paralleled batteries. And is there a max distance with the wire size that is provided with the powerpro...

    Volts but no watts 18k

    I hooked my 8 400w Canadian solar panels in series and could only get volts no wattage in the #2 mppt on 18k. I then tried to just hook up 5 panels in series on the ground just to make sure it wasn’t something with the wiring on roof. Im still only getting volts. I double and tripled checked...

    I have a SolarEdge inverter that worked good before I installed my 18k. I hooked it up to the 18k gen port and now I have no power to SE inverter. The ac couple setting is checked on 18k. But SE support said their is no ac power. I’ve been on the phone with eg4 CS for 4 hours total from today...

    Grounding question

    I tried researching the answer but get confused between ac and dc systems. I want to make sure I do this right so I’m going to just ask for my specific installation. I’m running dc from panels with tigo rsd to Eg4 18kpv using the mc4 wire since it’s a short run, straight down from roof to...

    200 amp double throw

    I’m getting a Sol-Ark 15k and looking to install this double throw switch to switch from grid -off- solar. I’m confused as to how to wire it up. I think I should’ve bought the 3 pole to have an isolated N from researching on here. Can I still use this box? If so, how would I go about the wiring...

    Inverter between meter and panel

    I am researching to make some changes to my grid tied current system and am still new to understanding the different solar layouts. I read where the eg4 18k or sol ark 15k have built in 200 amp breakers and can be installed between the meter and panel. How many people trust the inverter not to...

    Changing out a solar edge inverter

    I currently have a 6.8kw system (20x340 Q Peak Duo) I had installed a few years ago with a solar edge inverter SE6000H (grid tied). I was told that I can't just swap inverters. So I'm asking for information on what I would have to do specifically to hook up these panels to a EG4 18k Inverter...
