Just FYI, I tried it on my Sungoldpower 5048, there was no visible change in idle draw flipping between UPS and APP modes.

I put a Koolertron/Junctek shunt inline today, and it's telling me I have 55.7W idle draw on this Sungoldpower unit, while powered on. It takes 5min or so to enter power saving mode, then it draws ~26.8W. With the inverter/charger section switch off, there is a 5W draw for about 10 seconds, then...

Hey aussiesam, could you please share that video with me if you can find it? I'd like to know if there's anything else he comments on with his testing like power saving/search mode. My sungold AIO has settings for both UPS/APP mode, and power saving search mode on/off. I'm really curious now...

Hmm, interesting idea! I will check which mode mine has been running in. I am perfectly happy running in APP mode if the only difference is switching delay. I have a proper UPS for the computers already so this could be a big win, thanks for the idea! I'd guess that most people already have...

Not exactly the thread topic, but I've been putting one of these through tests: https://www.midea.com/us/air-conditioners/portable-air-conditioners/midea-duo-smart-inverter-14k-btu-portable-air-conditioner-with-heat-map14hs1tbl Inverter driven, mini-split-like efficiency. Easier to install than...

Yeah, that idle draw gets you bad! My setup is for an RV/mobile office, with 48V/280AH (13440WH) battery and it's just gross how a 130W idle draw will run me out of power in 3-4 days without any other loads! So I suppose 50w from the sungoldpower could be worse, but I have a scheme in mind to...

Sorry for the late reply! I have had this unit up and running for a few weeks and it's fine. No problems or issues so far. I think it's a good unit if you're looking for an affordable AIO, with 120V as your only need. Nice suprise: the 2 cooling fans at the bottom of the unit are very quiet...

Correct, it seems this unit can not stack. It is not under the "parallel" section in the product listings, and it makes no mention in the manual that there is any stacking ability. The SGP units that can stack have this advertised prominently.

For anyone that is looking at this unit, I got some more info from sungoldpower. Not verified myself, but more complete. Quoting: --- 1. What is the idle consumption at startup? When starting the inverter, there would be about 20W consumption 2. What is the idle consumption in power saving...

Thanks for this info! I have requested clarification about the idle draw consumption, and promised to correct this critique if they can state that the idle consumption is 20W, as opposed to "20W for start" like all the inverters out there with low draw on startup, and much higher after the first...

I asked SunGoldPower for more information about idle / zero load draw, and PV charging with the inverter OFF. Of course, these are vital things to know for off-grid, and differentiates good units like MPP Solar from junk. Low quality AIOs like PowMr drain your battery by requiring the inverter...

Thanks for the input guys! Sounding good so far... Sungoldpower said in an email: "The 5kw 48v inverter is our new product, we are still looking for an influencer to review it. We'll share the video on the website later." So I guess it's pretty new to the scene, I will just have to bite the...

I have been planning out my RV install and looking at all-in-one units. I had my sights set on an MPP LVX6048, but I just ran across this unit: https://sungoldpower.com/collections/all/products/5000w-48v-solar-charger-inverter Model designation is SPH504880A The unit is $799 but there is a 10%...
