    EG4 LL V2 and Schneider Close Loop Communication

    This fixed everything for me THANKS!!

    Backup home power with EG4 LL and Schneider Electric Conext SW inverter

    When you state "not the CCs", is that including the charger inside the inverter? So for open loop, what settings (voltage-on/off thresholds, charge voltage, etc) would be recommended?

    New to the forums: EG4 BMS integration Problems with Schneider Electric system

    I looks like in that video the same two warnings/errors are triggered that I see, having to do with not getting SoC data for the inverter's charger program. Eventually it will trip a battery over-voltage, because there is a lower voltage threshold for when SoC control fails. If anyone has...

    EG-4 Communication Hub Closed loop

    Oops, my mistake, it was 0.022 amps.

    EG-4 Communication Hub Closed loop

    I think I saw 0.1 amps, but I'll verify tomorrow. I have one connected to 3 EG4 (not LL) batteries BTW, I am using this hub with Schneider Conext XW Pro, and while the insight does see the BMS, including the SOC, and correct max discharge of 300 amps for 3 batteries, when configuring the...

    Anything wrong with this design? (45ft class-A, Schneider, NewPowa, EG4LL)

    Yes, the RV does have some curve, and that's why I am going with 3 rows. I plan on wiring 4 consecutive panels in a given row, up to 3-4 "sets" in each row. I am a bit new to how solar panels get wired, so I am not sure it is optimal. What I would like to do is not prevent one set of...

    Anything wrong with this design? (45ft class-A, Schneider, NewPowa, EG4LL)

    Yes, the 60/150. It does seem like I am on the limit, and I wish Schneider had a lot more options for MPPT. These panels will of course will never have optimal placement/angle for peak solar output, so maybe the 60/150 will be good enough. Worst case, maybe I take 4 panels off and use a...

    Anything wrong with this design? (45ft class-A, Schneider, NewPowa, EG4LL)

    Thanks for the feedback. I'll have to check on the generator start, but I suspect it's triggered by 12v. I have generator start/stop buttons in multiple places in the coach which are probably 12v and interface to a dry contact already, but I'll have to confirm. Good point on the engine...

    Anything wrong with this design? (45ft class-A, Schneider, NewPowa, EG4LL)

    I'm thinking about going all-in on a solar system, since the federal tax credit applies to RVs that are considered second homes, and I'd like to be self powered in many cases when in the RV. Also, a big driver of this: when parked at home, I want the RV to supply power to my Telsa for...

    Flex or non-flex panels for RV?

    Well that settles it for me, going with rigid panels. Thanks!

    Flex or non-flex panels for RV?

    Hello. Soon I will be adding solar PV to my motorhome (45-ft class-A). I have a pretty good amount of room on my roof, since my air conditioners are not on the roof. I intend to add as much solar PV as space will allow, possibly 4kW if I can fit it (perhaps 3kW if I am being more realistic)...

    Inverter powered by 240V/50A but sometimes 120V/30A

    Newbie here, and I am looking into future inverter options for a large-ish capacity motorhome (120v and 240v, clothes dryer, electric stove top, microwave, 3-4 A/C units, electric water heat, house fridge, etc). I'd like to have no issues using 8-12kW, at least for peak periods, whether it is...
