This 58.4 volts has been changed by the new firmware out by EG4. Another question of mine.

I have this issue too. Can anyone verify why this clock keeps showing up?

DO NOT ground your panels to the negative PV DO run a ground from the panels back to the main panel ground. This is for not only static build up and fault protection, but will eliminate the AC output from the inverters you're feeling. I had the same thing happen and the manual does warn to only...

It has been a while since I posted and I was able to top balance and tonight I was testing my lower limits of the inverter SOC. I was watching the battery voltage with a volt meter while having a 2000 watt load going. The BMS test said it reached 0% as the inverters said, but I was barely in the...

Care to elaborate for us Will?

I love how threads just die.

Did you mean you would need a 200A main panel and a 100A sub panel? You can't get 200A from a 100A panel. My place has a 200A on the main house with a 100A sub panel in the garage where the inverters are. I would just have to run the A/C output of the inverters over to the Main panel to power...

So I found the flashing 2p1 means there was a battery alarm. Going into BMS_test, i see adress 0 and 2 have gone over voltage and shutdown charging. All addresses show 100% in BMS test. These batteries are new and havent rally had any full cycles on them. PS. So I guess the flashing hexagon...

So I didn't get a call today, but it's probably unnecessary. After sitting under the solar all day with no load, I think the inverters finally stopped charging the batteries. I've been watching the status via my WatchPower app and finally saw both inverters say 100% and no power being delivered...

or a not so good time. I'll put you to work on my solar! LOL

Well I take part of that back. It wont charge when my solar is not putting out enough, but I guess that's an obvious fact.

Ok. Something else since the firmware upgrade. I dont hear the capacitors charge when I turn the first battery on anymore. Before there were several clicks as it loaded the inverters caps. That's gone.

The system is so new I dont hac=ve a before to compare to. I just noticed that it hasnt ever fully charged. Whe I did the USE/USE at 58.4 bulk and 54.4 float, things stopped charging and seemed to be working normal. I've never seen these inverters not charging when in EG4/USE even with all my...

I charged them all to 100% and veriufied 100% with BMS_test. Started everything up and it went to charging them.

Do you suggest I put the settings back to EG4/USE?

No it's not faulting. It's just continuing to charge after I top balanced them with the stand alone EG4 charger. I've never seen these batteries not charging.

Well when I'm on EG4/USE, My charge voltage and float voltage is the same. 58.4v Doesn't seem right. I'm pretty sure I installed version 3.26

I updated my firmware on Sunday. Not sure what version.

It seems like since float and bulk are the same, it would never stop trying to charge and in fact thats what happens. The battery symbol is always flashing. With both on USE it stopped and the CHG light is solid now.

So I don't understand why the BMS is trying to charge an already 100% battery. This is without loads on. Thanks

So I guess I don't understand this. EG4 6500ex in phase 180* 3 Lifepower4 batteries. I disconnected and individually charged each battery with the EG4 charger to top them off. BMS_test was saying 2 of them were around 99.4%. After charging all were 100% but when I restarted everything, the...

So I want to start by saying I'm a noob and am only posting this because after searching for a fix and not finding it, I believe I resolved it and want it out there for others to discover. For you veterans, yea I know this will be obvious to you. This is my first solar setup so don't roast me...

My setup is very similar looking and this time of year I get direct sun on the rear of the panels. They hardly make any power. I'm very new to this and maybe someone can explain to me why. My panels are half cut and in landscape orientation so the shadows from the verticle rails cut vertically...

I'm near Salem Oregon

Well, this big dummy screwed up. I need 2 panels to complete my array and Sig Solar only sells 10 or more. Anyone have a couple? I'm in Oregon Thanks. Mark

Thank you 42Ohms! That was what I forgot. It programmed and I'm getting 240V in my output. Something I didn't know was turning off either inverter will turn off the other automatically. Convenient.

The inverters are connected to batteries, just not the solar panels. The inverters turned on and were working fine except I cannot set menu 28. I cannot get them in phase is all. Thanks.

Thanks for looking. I have 2 EG4 inverters that I'm wanting to phase for 240V but my array isn't finished. The Inverters are set to SBU in menu 1 and EG4/USE for menu 5. When I go to Menu 28 to assign 2P1/2P2, it won't allow the change and just says "Sig". I'm assuming it wants to see a PV...
