    EG4 6000XP setting 20. Green Function

    In my playing around with it, no. Didn’t matter if I put a load on it or not. Just turning the setting off would turn the unit back on. I don’t have an external source of power hooked up currently so I’m just experimenting with PV, Batt, and Load.

    EG4 Monitoring App with 6000XP?

    Am I just missing it? Is there anywhere you can see how many Amps the batteries are being charged with at any given time via the app or website? I’ve looked through both and don’t see it anywhere. Currently I'm only using PV for my system. Thanks

    EG4 6000XP setting 20. Green Function

    The unit does come back on automatically. But I have no idea exactly why. Once it starts getting solar in the morning it’s back operating as normal. Idk what the triggers are and how many there may be. The manual on this thing is definitely lacking info.

    Charging EG4 Power Pro batteries in parallel with EG4 Chargeverter in a emergency

    So did you just hook the chargeverter up to the master battery via the amphenol connectors or did you go to a bus bar then to the master battery? Impressive system you have going there!

    EG4 6000XP setting 20. Green Function

    Has anyone played with this Green Function under setting 20? I just turned mine on 2 days ago. Yesterday later in the day I came out to turn a load on and I noticed it was in stby or green mode. I turned the load on and nothing happened. No power. I looked at the inverters and the monitoring...

    Charging EG4 Power Pro batteries in parallel with EG4 Chargeverter in a emergency

    Muaddib721 did you ever get this hooked up and working? If so how did you do it and how is it working? Any pics? I have 2 6000XP’s and 2 power pros. I’m wanting to hook the chargeverter to the power pros so I can charge them when solar is not enough. I’m in MT and winter can be long and...

    Eg4 power pro button missing?

    Both of my batteries showed up the same way. The glass cover was down below behind the other cover. I stuck them back on and it’s been fine for a month now.

    6000 XP issue today after set up.

    After setting them up to 2 power pro batteries and some solar strings they both were working and charging the batts. I then moved on to connecting the WiFi dongles. I could not get them to work. After reading here I reprogrammed my router to use 2.4ghz and was still not able to get them to...

    MSB, any solution to this? Any pics of what you did. I’m looking at the same issue, the fittings are not avalble now on SS website. I’ve got 2 6000xp’s that just arrived and my PP are scheduled to be delivered next week.

    EG4 6000XP AC out load wiring?

    It looks like this picture is exactly how they wired the panel they have in the video they just posted yesterday. I attached the link earlier today here. If I pause the video and zoom in you can see 2 60a breakers on the top, I’m assuming they are the loads coming from the inverters then a 50a...

    EG4 6000XP AC out load wiring?

    This video was just posted yesterday. It would be nice if they went jver how they wired their panel a bit and also what the loads were as they turned them on during the load test. Otherwise I think it was a great video on the product.

    EG4 6000XP AC out load wiring?

    Thanks Filterguy. That’s what I was thinking from what I did find but wasnt sure since the 6000 is a little different than the 6500’s. I’ll have to read through the manual again and find info in the internal static bond relay. I don’t recall seeing that before.

    EG4 6000XP AC out load wiring?

    I have looked but not found any discussion on how to wire the AC output on these inverters to a main circuit breaker panel. I’ve watched a few videos and read through Wills guide on his website and how he did it with 2 6500EX AIO. Would these be wired the same way, taking the 2 load wires from...

    Can I mix AH cells to make a larger battery?

    I’ve been using my 2 DIY 24v batts now for 2 years. One pack is 270ah or 280 I don’t remember. I’ll have to find the paperwork. The other pack is 310ah. I bought the cells from alibaba in the end of 2020 and they were delivered in 2021. Back then I got what I could get at the time. After 2 years...

    DC Breaker help.

    Yes it looks like it’s at 90% efficiency. I have setting 21 in the Growatt set to 25.5 currently for low voltage cut off.

    DC Breaker help.

    Here is a pic from the manual. This is under AGM batteries. Under lithium it doesn’t mention it so I assume this applies to any battery you have connected.

    DC Breaker help.

    Not to argue with you but that site looks to be for AC wire calculations. I agree with your digestion that 150A CB is what I need. I was thinking 125 and when I read through the other info with the calculation to over size it I see how your getting the 150. I was under the impression that one...

    DC Breaker help.

    I have my system up and running and I think I have undersized the breaker between the batteries and the Growatt. I have the 24v 3000w Growatt hooked up to 2 24v diy lifpo battieries. One battery is 310ah cells and the other is 271ah with 200a daly BMS’s. Currently I am using 6ga stranded wire...

    Please help with battery and BMS build problem.

    I have no idea how to do that. I’ll have to look at it. The BMS only has 8s AND the cells are not the same. One pack is 310ah and the other is 272ah. So I don’t know if that would work or not? Long story short on why is, I only intended to have 1 battery with the 310ah but they were taking so...

    Please help with battery and BMS build problem.

    Yes on battery one I do go from the - lug to P- for the parallel connection to parallel both batteries. So I should change that to both P- then I’m guessing. I still don’t think that’s going to solve my BMS issue but I can make that change and see. I’m connecting via Bluetooth. I have no way of...

    Please help with battery and BMS build problem.

    I need some help with my battery please. I bought 16 cells from alibaba along with 2 daly BMS 24v 8 leads. One is 200a and the other 250. Both smart. I was trying to build them and hook them up to the Growatt I bought as well today. I’m in an off grid situation in MT until October. Currently...

    Solar panel help.

    It looks like it’s an 80A charge controller. It’s a 24v system. It looks like you have 48 in that calculator. I’ll have to look at the calculator. It looks like the 2s3p is a better way to go. I’m in CT, that’s where the 350 panels are I can pick up. The new stuff is from northern Arizona wind...

    Solar panel help.

    I have the Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM and 2 24v 280ah lifepo batteries. This is for an off grid application in northern MT. I need to decide what panels to buy next. I have a quote for brand new panels wiring and mount for $3200 shipped for 6 Rec n peak 330w panels. The 6 panels are $1300, shipping...

    Wow, this is exactly what I’m looking at doing for my application, and have been trying to piece together. What are you looking at for total cost on this setup?
