Jared, it just needs to be rewritten to 240v Spilt Phase. It’s not like someone is going to bring 90v into one leg and 150v into the other. And we (you and I @Marobel) went around with this in my feed so I understand now the other needs for having the 240v SP. Powering the AC output at 240 SP...

I feel your pain. I fell into this same thought dungeon but was re-educated by the likes of the same bunch that chimed in here. Do feel like the documentation is a bit nebulous for most diyers but they’re not wrong. I ended up just getting a Chargeverter from EG4 (or should I say, I’m on the...

Wondering if you could share their contact information. I have a smallish 8-panel rooftop installation that I need help with down to my 6000xp.

And I think that’s what’s going on here. Was not thinking about the 240VAC output (even though I am going to use L1 and L2 as individual 120v circuits). In my application we just don’t have the 240v usage but I can see where that would add a lot of complications for most everyone using this...

I would only be using the 120 V to charge my server rack batteries. And likely only when the PV output couldn’t maintain them.

Thanks Mattb4. I guess that’s what I’m discussing here. Why does the AC input Need to be 240VAC? I understand that’s the way it was built or how the software work’s but is this design a Dead End for the 6000xp? I’ve considered a chargeverter as well. But there is no chareverter that I know of...

Just to be perfectly clear, I’ve already had a discussion with Jared from EG4 about this. He’s not sure if this is possible but replied that he’s asked the aEG4 technical staff about this. Jared, not trying to upset the Apple cart here. Just trying to get a consensus on this topic. I’m...

I have edited and moved this topic to the General Discussions section.

Honestly, at this point, you’re gonna mount a couple of thousand dollars worth of hardware on top of the struts. If you amortize this over the amount of time that these are going to last, factoring in all of the costs, you’ve put in so far, it’s probably worthwhile just sticking with unistrut...

Great! Thanks for that update. Yes, they are a beast in size. I’ll be having a solar install crew do that as they will go onto a second story roof facing directly south with no shading. Running these at 4s into each of the 2 mppts on my 6000xp to run a small wood shop. I can more easily get...

Was wondering if you have any more comments or concerns on these panels. I’m looking at getting 8 for an off grid project myself.

Okay, I see that a bit better now. Had to login on my iPad rather than iPhone. My project will not have 240v available. It’s strictly 120v installation area. Getting 240v to it would be a great issue at great expense. I’m am also going to spilt the AC output into two separate legs. One leg will...

Looks great. So you’re going to be running just as a 120volt system rather than anything 240v? What are you using for your generator? Will it have 120v or 240v output to back charge your batteries?

Having the same customer service issue with SS as you.

I think I’ll get a separate charger that will draw from the 120v and keep the batteries topped off. And then look for a solution down the road. Thanks for your input.

Page 1, starting with the technical specs, shows 120/240v AC Input. The fact that any reference to 120v implied, for me, that either voltage could be used. And I understand that using 240v would require L1, L2 Neutral and ground. But it’s not stated succinctly anywhere in their manual or in any...

When I was researching the 6000XP there was no specific requirement in any literature for using 240volts exclusively for the AC input. In my situation, which I discussed with SS before purchase, I was given the impression that 120v would be adequate, yet undersized, for any great battery...

I think this is a great solution but you may not need more than the rack you’re building to accomplish your need to keep the temperature above freezing. Are you going to bring the inverter(s) down here too? That will generate pretty good heat for this space. I’m assuming you’ve had your stored...

Thanks. I’ll check this out when I get the inverter powered up.

I’ve got the app up and registered now. Need to power up the inverter with house AC first to finish the configuration as the battery rack is not finished yet.

Well that a bit discouraging about the security issue. Thanks.

Thanks for that. What app or website do you use o monitor and setup your inverter and batteries? I just startedtinlookmatbthe EG4 Monitor website (https://monitor.eg4electronics.com/WManage/web/monitor/inverter). Are you using this? I have yet to get power to my inverter to start looking at...

Just received and am starting to install/setup my 6000XP and EG4 LLS batteries. What app is best to use for setting up and monitoring the whole system? Is there an iOS or PC app that I can use to set all the various parameters and not have to use the tiny screen and push buttons on my 6000XP...

Akitawpo, please let me know what you did to get your system running correctly. I am just installing precisely the same system and would like to hear what you’ve accomplished.
