    SOLD 2 MPP 6548 inverters

    I replaced them with EG4 18k pv. Wish I would have went another route. Works great on normal loads. But anything 240v that cycles makes lights blink. Surge capacity is not high enough and I had AC issues which I never had with the 2 6548's. Bunch of firmware updates but was November. Doesn't...

    18kpv Issues

    I pulled my 2 6548's after running my house for 16 months to upgrade to a 18kpv. This was last Saturday. After spending all day running larger wire we get it up and running around 4:30. Took a lot longer then I thought it would for sure. Everything seemed good. I don't remember if I tried AC...

    18K PV setting for SOK battery?

    So today I ran my 4t AC. It worked a few times and now it shuts the inverter off. Have soft start and never had a issue before. Waiting for them to escalate my problem to higher up

    18K PV setting for SOK battery?

    Thanks I have found what it takes to equal where I was before. Do you think there will be firmware update or is it a hardware thing? I'm using solar assistant which my batteries are going to with USB cable. I see real voltage and adjusted the inverter to get what I want. So far today all was...

    18K PV setting for SOK battery?

    Voltage matched on the 2 6548's. Wouldn't think a better inverter wouldn't be able to read the right voltage at lugs.

    18K PV setting for SOK battery?

    Batteries have been in service for over a year. I'm just trying to get them to where they were with 6548's. I was 55v and 54.1v float. You put those numbers in and and I stopped it as it was well over 56v yesterday. Batteries just topped off. They stopped at 54.4v and are floating at 54.2v...

    18K PV setting for SOK battery?

    Im running lead right now. Once I get it figured out I won't. But right now I'm getting it setup on lead so I know it works. If it's anything like the 6548's they shut off if not right protocol

    18K PV setting for SOK battery?

    Ok thanks. Haven't tried yet. I'm having a voltage difference from inverter to batteries. Up to .07 volts lower then batteries. Makes it hard to set absorption and float.

    18K PV setting for SOK battery?

    Anyone running SOK or Jakiper batteries on EG4 18? Settings are lithium 0-19 with no explanation for what is what. I know it's pylon but don't which is that Thanks

    Damaged EG4 18k in shipping

    Anyone have any issues when they opened there box? I was surprised that it was ship ground frieght. I can tell the box has been set down/dropped hard. But but not looking that bad. When I finally got help to install and pull it out of box I found damage. The bag of plugs/bolts was in between...

    EG4 18/12 battery communication

    Works really good. It's only on these really hot days that things get wierd. It was 97 today. Normal draw on start up is never more the 50%. When things get really hot I saw 100% today on #2. What is wierd is #1 makes a noise and #2 fault flashes with no code and then stops.

    EG4 18/12 battery communication

    I have no issue running AC day or night. The issues is starting it when the temp goes up so the amp requirement to start and run does also. Running house and AC is 40-43%. I run AC all night long and it is never a issue starting on battery. I get a weird noise when there is a issue and #2...

    EG4 18/12 battery communication

    You mean switch it up right now? I could but I have to address them to be like that. I don't have a EG4 18/12. I'm on the edge of buying. My 2 6548's are having issues this year with my AC. 4t with soft start wasn't a problem last year. But the inverters don't seem to like heavy 240v loads...

    EG4 18/12 battery communication

    Right now I have 6 Jakipers and 4 SOK 's as 7-10. I can see all setting on solar assistant. They use same setting and batteries are very simular.

    States/Cities Attempting To Limit You Self Produced Power...

    I'm in CA. I started in 2021 experimenting with 12v 280ah battery for my 5th wheel. Realized that 24v would be better. Then I bought some panels and built a rack for 3 405 w panels to experiment with running the house for power outage. Would only be one leg but I could run the house no problem...

    Low voltage EG4 LiFePO 48v not taking charge

    I was told 48v and that keeps you away from any chance of BMS shutting down. I don't go that low. I have back to grid at 50v and then back to battey at 51v. Only switched one time since July. Right now I'm only using 20% of my batteries every night.

    What is the Best way to reduce your grid consumption ?

    You have to set the voltage. I have mine set at 50v it switches to grid and 51v back to solar. Only switched once since July

    What is the Best way to reduce your grid consumption ?

    It uses solar to cover the load and what is left will go to charging

    MPP PIP MAX 8048 help required

    If its simular to the LVX 6000 settings it is in your settings for the charging priority. I setup a friends and it took me awhile to get it to charge off his generator. I can look next time I'm over there.

    Current difference on rack batteries

    My system has been running my house since beginning of July. I actually just connect the grid to it last week. We had a week of rain. Never used it. Found out that the inverters use 1.3 kwh just being hooked up to grid. Turned that off this morning. I use around 10-15 kwh a month because my...
