I have sent back my 2 6500EXs and awaiting store credit to replace with the 6000XP. I can get by with only one Inverter except for the fact that I need 2 more MPPTs. I know you can parallel a charge controller into the system but cannot find one at around $500 to $600 that has 2 MPPTs. Does a...

Well after many weeks of random trouble shooting the conclusion has come that my 6500EX inverters are defective,(Surprise)! Been authorized store credit. Will be replacing with 2 EG4 6000XPs. Anyone who would not recommend these inverters please speak up. Excuse me while I go and rewire...

Anyone who switched from 6500EX to the 6000XP because of light flicker, did that solve the problem?

I hope these things work! House and Solar System completely protected, just in time for spring Thunderstorms!

Maybe this has been discussed already? Been having all kinds of problems with my inverters shutting down and stopping charging etc. Turns out I was putting in the wrong amp setting in step 41. I thought that setting was for each inverter, but it turns out it was for both inverters combined. That...

I just ordered 3 lightning suppressors for my 3 PV strings and 1 for my Main breaker panel, all from Midnight Solar. I read where you should protect your batteries also buy why? My thinking is the main panel will be protected which goes into my inverters so they should be protected from that...

Just had an electrician out for advice on getting everything grounded. I have my solar panels mounted on the Brightmount racks sitting on a wooden frame. Two EG4 6500 Inverters (240V) (Split Phase) and six Lifepower4 Batteries. I have the Main Breaker panel that was never grounded, feeding into...

I have 2 EG4 6500 inverters and 6 EG4 Lifepower4 batteries. Setting #12 is10%. Setting #13 is 50%. When my batteries get down to 10% the inverters switches to bypass. Setting #16 is CSO. The problem is when in bypass and it is cloudy out my batteries is receiving very little charge from the sun...

Has anyone who had the EMP shield installed had an actual lightning strike that took out any of their home PV components, and did they cover the damage. I ask this question because if you read the warranty contract it does not actually say it covers these components. Instead it says it covers...

Got a question. Does Lightning protection devices like the ones purchased from EMP.com actually protect the PV panel itself or just the devices downstream from the solar panels? Never have seen a clear explanation. I assume that a direct hit to the frame of a panel is fatal no matter how much...

I am a little confused on this subject. If the circuit is open ( deenergized ) is it protected from electromagnetic pulse. My thinking if given advance notice is disconnect all solar panels, open all breakers in main and critical loads panel including main breakers, disconnect all wiring going...

Holds 6 EG4 Lifepower4. Purchased Busbars from SS. Were not long enough so used 2 on each side connected with 1 Gauge wire in the middle. Works great and batteries balanced perfectly.

Liked this Panel rack from Signature Solar. Combined 5 of them to make this one large rack. Did not like the fact that the design did not include support for the front so I came up with this. Very solid but will also secure it with cables at the place it mounts to the 6 by 6 posts in case the...

Thinking about going solar but very cautious about sinking thousands into a grid tied system if it doesn't produce up to my expectations. This would be a ground mounted solar array. What I want to do is take 1 solar panel and monitor the output for 1 year on a daily basis how much kwh it...
