When I purchased this system in 2010 I had originally planned on building my own system. At that time Xcel was paying over half the cost of the Solar City system and I couldn't have done it for less myself. The system paid for itself in 6-1/2 years. The thing that bothers me most about this...

My niece is in Surprise Az. She had solar installed by one of these scammer solar installers. It works, but it has never produced what was promised. She has tried to get compensated, but they just stall and respond to her issues by claiming that it is a totally different problem. When I first...

In 2010 I purchased a 20 year lease on a 6kw home grid tied solar system from Solar City. They were owned by Tesla, but pretty much operated independently. It came with a warranty for the life of the lease for equipment failure and labor included to repair or replace such equipment. They also...

I have been in email correspondence with signature solar for quite a while now. So far I am the one coming up with solutions. I have inverter to the place where it will charge partially with solar and the rest with utilities. I still can't set the inverter to sbu (solar, battery,utility)...

Thanks Dave. Not sure if that will work. One of the first things I tried was to jumper a ground to AC neutral. That didn't solve the open ground, but that was before I changed the SIG setting.

Here is an update on the open ground issue. I found a thread on workarounds with EG4 3k programming on this site. I would like to thank that guy, but I can't find the thread again. His advice to enable setting # 28 to SIG worked. I was locked out of the single inverter setting for some...

I can't find the video you mentioned. Could you post a link?

Thanks for the info. I'm assuming Willis is a member of this forum?

Hi, I am new to solar system DIY and am trying to install an EG4 3000 EHV-48 inverter to 2 EG4 Lifepower4 Rack mounted 48V 100 Ah batteries. I have them connected to 4 solar panels in series producing 120-160vdc. The system works to power a heat gun with the AC 120v power, but when I check the...
