Did you ever get this sorted out? I recently bought one of these. Tested it yesterday and it ran great. I came down today and noticed the ac breaker feeding it's outlet had popped. Ive been unable to get it working since. Red light only. I've removed it from the battery to reset the...

James - Thanks for the call and the follow-up on the forum explaining things. It's precisely that kind of customer service that breeds repeat business - Myself included

Thanks - Done

yeah - Mine Says EG4 - on the front and top, has dual Posts and No LCD or circuit Breaker. I didn't expect it to have an LCD but I did expect it to have a circuit breaker. It looks just like the OPs pictures but without the LCD One ear was damaged which was really odd as there was no...

I received a 24V EG4 LL in late August Early September that had the dual Posts, No LCD and No breaker. It doesn't (didn't) match anything on their website. I also had damage from shipping and contacted them according to their guidelines. I tried numerous times get someone from Signature...

Sounds like you fried your solar charger controller. Both the the pv and batteries connect to it. Easy board swap. Literally 20 minutes. Have you confirmed your inverter is fine by running loads via shore power through it? As a poster above said there are fuses in the system that you should...

Yes you can do this. In fact there is a notch on the bus bar where you cut it in half. Cut more material off so that there is an actual space. I've found if you don't they may touch when you put the plastic cover on over the breakers. Bear in mind you now have two circuits, both requiring...

"scheduled the pickup between 9AM-and 4PM" I wouldn't call that scheduling a pickup.. More like wait around all day and see if they show

I use a 30 amp ac midnight solar din rail mount fuse in a baby box https://www.altestore.com/store/enclosures-electrical-safety/electrical-enclosures/disconnectload-enclosures/ac-andor-dc/midnite-solar-babybox-4-slot-ac-or-dc-breaker-panel-p4480/...

Schmism is correct in that the settings you're referring to are what is being used to power the loads. The setting you have SBU is what I use and works most predictably. The Sun comes up - loads are powered by sun, exceed the capacity of solar and battery will fill the gap. Oonce the sun goes...

Yes but in your post above one battery is 29v and the other is 26v. If that is in fact the case that's a no go. They should be balanced

I'd try that. The first pic you posted is what my display looks like at dusk just as the voltage drops low enough to stop producing power. It can click on an off for about 10 minutes then the pv array icon disappears completely

I think the 5048 requires a minimum of 60 volts to produce wattage. Is that 60-70 volts measured at the panels or at the Inverter. If I recall you have a very long run 100+ feet? Perhaps you have enough voltage loss to impact you

This is the solar charger no longer seeing enough voltage from the panels and dropping them (like at night). What is your pv setup end to end

I have a similar issue with my system. For me this is an appliance issue. I have a fridge and freezer along with a bunch of other stuff running with no issue. Once I add my other fridge and the compressor is on the lights in the fridge flicker. They also flicker on leds that are also being...

If you really want the 2400 watt unit, just buy the hybrid one. It's in stock now. You state you want a 5k system but reference the 2400 watt unit. The 3kw growatt unit is solid as well (expected early may) https://watts247.com/product/hybrid-lv2424/

Except that went all over the place discussing disparate cells within packs. You can parallel connect two complete but differently sized batteries. They will keep the overall voltage equal and current share between them, with the larger battery providing more for the loads. Those 272s and...

There was an issue with victron scc's getting hung up. There was either a firmware or software update. Make sure yours is current

I'd think affording yourself the opportunity add larger gauge cables would be beneficial. They have a video showing that the 14" 8GA cables have the same loss as 7" 10 GA cables. (3 watts or so) I was planning on 8GA cables for a 24volt 8S with 24" cables. I'm thinking that may be more data...

In the same position as you. I have 2 MPP Solar inverters running split phase with a total possible wattage of 4800 (not that I would push them like that. ) I have a single battery bank comprised of 2S/3P Lion energy batteries(285 ah). Basically limited to the BMS on the post of the battery...

But would it be better than an 8S battery? The two BMS adds complexity with wiring and points of failure. Is there any advantage of keeping them as two 12 volts connected in series?

Exactly I'd spend the money on. Better made one like. Blue sea 187 200amp breaker. Its 80 bucks https://www.bluesea.com/products/7149/187-Series_Circuit_Breaker_-_Surface_Mount_200A

Well actually he did answer your questions and then some. Idle consumption can be high on these Chinese units and you need to plan accordingly. That doesn't mean you shouldn't buy it it just needs to be accounted for in your solar production and battery capacity. You can most certainly run a...

This - If you're running these in Split phase then you need a double pole breaker from your main panel to deliver both phases (two out of phase hots) to the inverters. And of course, it's assumed you programmed these correctly

Your post says input breaker TO the inverters. This is your aC input for charging and by pass? If yes do you have two hot legs (separate circuits) with one going to each inverter?

Please clarify a couple of things. 1) Exactly what is running off the inverter when the lights flicker. 2). When you say output unstable are you saying that the voltage being output is not stable or the apparent watts consumed (load) is jumping all over. I'm Doing because I have a particular...

update to this - I'm running two units in split phase - I was connecting to Master unit for monitoring. I'd see both units but only the complete data for the master - I'd assume that this should have worked well. I recently connected to the second inverter as well so I now have two USB cables...

I currently have 6 Lion energy batteries wired as 2S3P (285ah) and shared between 2 24 Volt MPP inverters. It's diagonally wired with a single Positive coming from one side of the bank and single negative from the opposite side. It stays well balanced. This battery is directly connected to...

Numerous factors. Where are you located if you're in a cold climate that will impact your voltage. You could go with 3 strings of 2 panels and be well within your voltage limits (2 panels 75 volts) You could likely push it to two strings of three and likely be okay as well. Are you dealing...

If you want something more permanent that gives you the ability to power just one thing via generator try one of these. https://ezgeneratorswitch.com/

How are the two 48 volt packs wired to the inverter? Are they connected to a bus bar or directly wired? If not via a busbar then be sure to wire them diagonally across the packs. Positive from one pack and negative from the other. Given that one pack had both batteries at higher voltage I'm...

I'm not exactly clear what your saying but I will say this. The idle consumption when the inverter is on is always consuming.(and it's pretty high) If you want it to not eat itself then shut that off and it will help the batteries will stay charged
