    EG4 Brightmount

    400/500W Bifacials DNA-108-BF10, 44.6" wide.. I had to install the Brightmount extension rail kits so they would fit.

    EG4 Brightmount compatible hidden end clamps

    I just bought and used the several of the extensions kits.. one kit is everything you need for one Brightmount you need to extend. My panels are 45" wide and I was able to easily fit 4 after installing the extensions. They don't give you any directions but basically I just drilled pilot...

    EG4 Brightmount

    I found them at HomeDepot, well online. Read the reviews and seemed good. I ordered 4 to begin with to be sure before I ordered the rest and I am happy with them. I just put them together in my driveway.. now they are in dirt/grass (mostly dirt) and are fine. In fact, the first one I built...

    EG4 Brightmount

    Not yet but I just put these together in the past few weeks. We have had some decent winds the past few days but not a real storm yet. Right now I have them tied down at each corner area with 16" ground anchors and a hooked tie down strap double wrapped around the 4x6. If something gives I...

    EG4 Brightmount

    The new EG4 BrightMounts have adjustable positions 25, 30 and 35o. I originally planned to use 3x 4x6x12' and there was going to be a 3rd 4x6 under the back with the middle 4x6 centered. During my first build I realized it was plenty stable with two, with or without panels. So I decided not...

    EG4 Brightmount

    Well the whole reason I put them on wheels was so I could play around with the direction and angles myself.. I just got a full set of bifacial panels and am going to try them out in different orientations along with placing chipped marble as a base around them. I'd like to capture more morning...

    EG4 Brightmount

    Well the one in the picture is the original Brightmount and can not be adjusted.. I believe it's 25o though. You can tweak the angle some with bricks under the front wheels and back "outriggers" as needed. Some of the areas I'm putting them are sloped. When I put it together the two 6'...

    EG4 Brightmount

    Just saw this thread and thought I would add.. I saw some other videos awhile back and came up with my own design using 2x 4x6x12' with one 2x6x12' cut in half and 4x 8" Powertech casters with the EG4 Brightmount. Has been working fine so far and have built 3. I stack some cinder blocks/bricks...

    EG4 6500EX and EG4 Lifepower4 intermittent 61 error

    Are there any firmware flash overheating issues we need to take precautions against?

    EG4 6500EX and EG4 Lifepower4 intermittent 61 error

    Looks like the firmware update(v112.19) for the MPP LV6548 is resolving Error 61 based on that thread.. any word on the firmware needed to resolve for the EG4 6500EX-48? I'm not sure if this model uses the same firmware considering the hardware changes.

    LV6548 and SOK server rack battery communication warning 61

    I just tried this and no change. And, interestingly enough, when I connected to the ones that would report under the Inverter Protocol field they would not using the "InverterList_default.xml" XML file. Swapping back same as usual, 1-3 report, 4th does not.

    LV6548 and SOK server rack battery communication warning 61

    Just wanted to chime in and report that 1 out of my 4 SK48v100's is doing exactly what you stated here. I set it to Pylon 485 it reports successful but never lists it under the Inverter Protocol field. The other 3 all report under Inverter Protocol field. I have the battery with that issue...

    LV6548 and SOK server rack battery communication warning 61

    I will add that I have been having the same issues between my single EG4 6500EX-48 and my rack of 4 SK48v100's. I used the protocol editor to verify and set all batteries to Pylon 485. I have tried the cable sent from Current Connected (verified pinout) and made my own following the pinouts...
