    Ecoflow grounding adapter question

    No solution. EF fixed this in Delta Pro ultra.

    EG4 6000xp PV startup voltage?

    Yes. I think next model will have lower lower end and higher higher end. Midnite AIO ranges for 70v-600. Tesla Powerwall 3 60-500v.

    Why string inverters have operating voltage starting at 120V

    Well then I am stuck with Ecoflow DP unit. Interestingly Tesla powerwall 3 in the only one that has MPPT with operating voltage ranging from 60vdc to 500vdc. And there are 6 on them! Maybe future version of EG4 6000xp will support lower end of the voltage.

    Why string inverters have operating voltage starting at 120V

    Are there AIO string inverters that have 80Vdc MPPT starting voltage, that can be paired with EG4 power pro/server rack battery? My solar setup produces 112Vdc at 20Amps. While it charges Ecoflow delta Pro unit at its max 1600W but is it a good idea to charge Delta pro at 100% capacity? All AIO...

    New IRS requirements for battery tax credit. False alarm, please ignore.

    A video recording of the system will go long way. Showing the components and also showing that lights are turning on/off when switch is flipped!

    EG4 6000XP practical with 115VDC?

    Yes, I will continue to use current setup. Thank you once again for finding information for me!

    It makes sense that it shows actual PV input voltage, current and power.

    EG4 6000XP practical with 115VDC?

    @AZ Solar Junkie @timselectric - Can you please consider explaining what B and C means for 6000xp? PV INPUT DATA NUMBER OF MPPTS 2 INPUTS PER MPPT 1 MAX. USABLE INPUT CURRENT 17/17A MAX. SHORT CIRCUIT INPUT CURRENT 25/25A A - DC INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE 100-480 VDC B - UNIT STARTUP VOLTAGE 100 VDC...

    EG4 6000XP practical with 115VDC?

    What would that setup look like? PV > Victron 150/35 > EG4 PowerPro > Ecoflow Delta pro > Sub-panel? Today I have PV > Ecoflow > Sub-panel What I want PV > AIO inverter + PowerPro > Sub-panel My setup is in the garage, space is limited and aesthetics are important. That is the reason for not...

    EG4 6000XP practical with 115VDC?

    This is great comparison. Its really odd that 6000xp did not wake up at 100v as per specs, even when tier 2 equipment accurately works. Solar Wizard’s 18K PV did wake up at 100V in his test (not a lab test so still some more vetting needed) @Will Prowse - Can you please consider testing lower...

    EG4 6000XP practical with 115VDC?

    You have provided excellent information!!! What are your thoughts on this result? At 6:42a, your EG4 18K started production. The specs below show operating voltage for 18K starts from 100v and at 6.42a, your PV input is exactly 100v! I am not sure why 6000XP did not fire up at 100V when...

    Oh not reinstalling the array! I'll save energy left for 300lb power pro ? and wait for 3000xp

    EG4 6000XP practical with 115VDC?

    Thank you for thinking on this. My preference is to invest in storage, that's really what gravitated me towards PowerPro+6000xp. @HighTechLab - Can a firmware update lower the starting voltage? Is your Demo unit up to date?

    EG4 6000XP practical with 115VDC?

    Your test settles it! No need to bother putting together a video. Glad you validated this for me. 122V is considerably higher 100V (+-) 10% that EG4 has on their documentation.

    PowerPro availability

    1. Can PowerPro batteries simply left standing on the floor or they must be secured or mounted on the bracket? 2. Are there any alternates to wall/stud mounting inside the garage or anti-tip method? Lastly, any Youtube videos of DIY installers, can you please consider sharing link?

    EG4 6000XP practical with 115VDC?

    Thank you for this!! I have two arrays in the backyard facing West and South because of shading and for flattening the curve since Delta pro’s MPPT is limited.

    EG4 6000XP practical with 115VDC?

    Any idea what is the PV input voltage at 60W? Because EF Delta Pro starts at 40W, its mppt ranges from 12v-150v. Edit: Thanks for posting the screenshot of power and voltage

    EG4 6000XP practical with 115VDC?

    You have really provided an excellent insight. Can I ask, what does “anything useable” value actually is? The biggest concern is that the 6000XP will NOT turn on in the morning/evening (or even during the day?) when panels are not in direct sun light..

    Hooking the EG4 6000xp to a Manual Transfer Switch with 10 or 12 circuits

    There will be an AC disconnect or Rapid shutdown switch setup. This completely isolates off grid system.

    EG4 6000XP practical with 115VDC?

    I've measured output and it says 110V in summer. But you are right. Can someone tag Will Prowse here, this time Will can test lower end of specifications for a change? Question - can 6000xp start with about 100v PV input as per specifications? This information will help Ecoflow Delta Pro...

    EG4 6000XP practical with 115VDC?

    Can someone advise if EG4 6000XP is going to practical with 115V PV input? Will recommendws 200V array to maximize energy generation when sun is low in am and pm. I have 3 panels in series and no room to expand. System was designed to ecoflow with 150V max pv input. EF charges battery (50W)...
