    EG4 6000XP Fault 22

    Hey guys, sorry for the delay. The last 22 fault detected, I could hear what I can describe as (the sound of a short). I was grabbing my head thinking my inverter was toast. I started to realize that it started to fault when it was raining hard. I remebered I had an underground line for some...

    EG4 6000 XP - Clarification on "RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM SOLAR INPUT - 10,000W"

    I have two 6000xps. One has 16 Philadelphia Solar 445 watts, 8 on each MPPT. 310 / 330v @ 11.5amps equals 3500 watts per MPPT. On rainy days when the sun comes out of a cloud it would get almost to 4000 watts per MPPT. No problems at all. My second 6000xp only has 3 545 watts Boviett Solar...

    EG4 6000Xp. Load sharing? Using grid and batteries?

    My setup / breaker for input current on the ac side was designed by the 9000w / 37amps Max Input stated above. I see the 50amps ac bypass but do not understand how can you passthrough more than your rated input. Maybe it is a hard limit for 50 amps and continuous 37.5amps.

    automatic transfer switch

    Progressive Dynamics PD52V 5200 Series Automatic Transfer Relay 240 VAC 50 A There is a 120v 30amp version. They are used on RVs. The good thing about them is they have an interlock between them that prevents that both contactors can be activated at the same time.

    EG4 6000XP Fault 22

    Thanks for the reply. Some additional info. The first time it happened it was during the day batteries were fully charged and the second time during the night at around 50% SOC. During the last time (night) load was at around 1500watts.

    EG4 6000XP Fault 22

    Good morning, my sistem has been in working order for about 30 days. Besides some trouble at first with comunications between my EG4 LLS all has been flawless. Since yesterday system started to shut down and throw Fault 22. First time it happened it restarted itself again and everything went...

    Think I have a bad EG4 6000XP

    My understanding is that if you have multiple rods, all of them have to be tied together. Doing this will make them all act as they were only one.

    No magic smoke, but no $ savings because I played with AC charging.

    LFP from SS are guaranteed for more than 6000 cycles which comes close to 17 years cycling them up to 20% DOD. Almost every manufacturer of LFP is close to this life expectancy or even more. If I spend thousands of dollars on batteries which are guaranteed for more than 17 years of continuous...

    EG4 6000XP / EG4 LLs state of charge

    Basically I updated all the batteries to the newest firmware (LL-S). Even though updateding the oldest two of my five resolved the problem, I decided to update all of them to have all equal.

    Please someone help with EG4 LL V2 Update

    Not sure if it is your case but for me I have 5 LLs v2. Three were bought later than the first two. When I connected my 6000xp it would do comms with three of the batteries but would not "read" the oldests LLs v2. I had to do a firmware update on those two and then the 6000xp started to "see"...

    Currently all is fine. The wifi can be a little bit tricky to setup. But overall I am very please with the 6000xp. The only thing is I need the other one in order to satisfy my house demands. Wireway definetly an improvement. Seems my batteries drain slower due to less standby power consumption...

    Signature Solar Upgrade Program 6500ex / 6000ex Shipping Date

    Well you got lucky. After I received my tracking, SS decided to go ahead and deleted. Afterwards told me there was a mistake and that shipping for mine was going to be in May. I decided to pull my old one and start the new build and now I have to revert back to get some solar until May.

    Signature Solar Upgrade Program 6500ex / 6000ex Shipping Date

    I already have a 6000xp (very happy with it so far) and bought another one subscribing to the upgrade program and exchanging an old 6000ex to parallel both 6000xps. I do not need grid sell back.

    Signature Solar Upgrade Program 6500ex / 6000ex Shipping Date

    Hello, I just went through the new upgrade program to exchange my 6000ex to a new 6000xp. FYI, came to find out later on that the shipping for people on board with this program starts in May 15th. I appreciate the program, but this delay certainly pushes back my project and was informed...

    Seems MPP dropped a new inverter...a split phase 10KW

    I agree totally with your last statement. Inverters are advancing dramatically every year. Having something that last at least 5 years, then re-sell and get a newer model has been my plan. I had an eg4 6000ex and decided to upgrade to two 6000xps. The difference is night to day. I could have...

    EG4 6000Xp. Load sharing? Using grid and batteries?

    Hello, I had an instance where the grid was connected, and a high surge happened. The inverter changed to "pass through" until the high demand finished. After a couple of minutes, it transitioned back to "off grid". "Passthrough" limit is 9000watts. I did not see sharing but the inverter...

    For any person interested, finally managed to get all batteries showing the correct soc on the 6000xp. Doing a fw update on all the LLs v2 batteries resolved the problem.

    EG4 6000XP / EG4 LLs state of charge

    Jared....I'm using CAN comms and are all set to Lux Protocol. In fact I change theRs485 also to lux just in case. I can see 500amps total power so all five are seen on the inverter.

    EG4 6000XP / EG4 LLs state of charge

    Appreciate the comment. I thought about the firmware updated. It was just very strange that somebody SS tech would suggest the display is not accurate or the same as the BMS info. I'm working on the assumption the display info feeds of the BMS therefore no different information should show. Then...

    EG4 6000XP / EG4 LLs state of charge

    Hello, So I received my brand new 6000xp and connected it to my 5 LLs. All the batteries were fully charged as they were constantly used for about two years until a week and a half ago when I decided to upgrade from a Eg4 6000ex to an Eg4 6000xp. When I use close loop, the state of charge...
