In case anybody comes along this thread here's what I just received from Micro-Air answering my question. See attached picture.

Follow up question. I have a two stage compressor/air conditioner. When I do the learn process, should I be lowering the thermostat down just enough to trigger stage one or lower it several degrees so that it kicks on the second stage?

For those that have a Micro-air soft start.... I installed my Micro-air soft start ony 3 ton Carrier a/c unit, completed the 5 learning starts and the a/c is running perfectly and the amps went from 70 down to 25. The only thing I have a question about is....is the soft start supposed to only...

Thank you guys. I owe you a coffee.

Thanks for the reply. 1) I already have Current Connected bus bars that are 300 amp and the voltage range is stated as 0-64 volt. Will they work? 300 amps enough? 2) Do the positive and negative cables still need to be the same length for both 6000xp to the bus bar? 3) Should each battery get...

I do not have a battery rack, so how do I configure the wires from the 6000xp's to the batteries? Especially with the small terminal area for the cable lugs on the EG4 Lifepower batteries. Is the only way to do it is to have a bus bar? While we're at it, what awg cable should I use from the...

I currently have my entire house running off of one EG4 6000xp (running beautifully) and the only thing left to move over to solar is my AC unit with a soft start. I'm pretty sure it will be too much, but if I give it a try, what would be the worst case scenario? What actually happens if you try...

Has the electric company come snooping around to find out why you aren't using any electricity? Or to see if their meter is working?

I've had my 6000xp running for about 2 weeks, but I'm trying to understand the following settings: (I'm using SOC since that's what makes sense to me, for now) #11 and #12 - what is the difference between these two settings? Cut off SOC vs. Battery Discharge Cutoff? Ultimately I want my...

I have 10 X 400w (front side only) Jinko bifacial solar panels from Santan Solar. I tested each panel when I received them and they seemed okay. I'm assuming they should have a potential of 4000-5000 watts in perfect conditions, but I've never seen them produce more than about 2500w at anyone...

Seriously

I'm trying to register my account for the mobile app for my 6000 XP dongle. It asked for a distributor code. Does anybody know what I put for customer code (Signature Solar is the distributor)?

That's how I had it setup for my 6500's and that's what I'll continue to use for my new 6000. 6 awg wires with 50 amp breakers.

Yes, I just went looking for it yesterday also. I'm still building my 6500ex system, since that's what I have for now.

What brand bus bars are those? Are they the ones saw on Signature Solar's website which are currently out of stock? I've searched everywhere and I can not find anyone selling anything like them. I even checked AliExpress.

Seems like this is a fancy way of saying "Beta Testers"

Beautiful land. What part of the country is that?

Exactly. I just bought one 6500ex 6 months ago and have been using it only for 5 months. I was planning on getting a second one, but not with my light flickering and my garbage disposal making everything turn off in the house momentarily, and no more updates, etc. I feel that I justed waisted...

I'll keep that in mind as a "Plan C". Yours are a year older than mine, so I don't know if the internal hardware is the same (i.e. bonding screw issue). They seem to have had couple different versions of these. I'm still waiting to hear from SS on their decision. Thanks

I'm currenlty discussing this with Signature Solar. I bought a 6500ex 6 months ago with the plan of buying a second one in order to add my 220v loads. The 6500ex is no longer available. Signature Solar has "Sunset" it. Their website says you have to buy the new 6000xp. I called them and they...

Yes. So, what happens in the morning is that most of the solar is going to charge the battery, but the remaining load for the house is being covered by the grid. I want the battery to wait until I have excess solar before it starts charging.

SanTan now has a new policy that they will only ship 10 or more panels at a time. But you can pick up, in person, as few as you want. They have one of their stores in Savannah Georgia. They are running a special right now. Some (not all) of their panels have free shipping. If you find a really...

Is there a way to set the time of day (or another way) to tell my EG4 6500 when to start charging the battery? I want to limit how much grid it uses and I don't want the inverter to start charging the battery until the sun has come up more and has excess power to run my loads AND charge the...

I have exactly the same setup: one eg4 6500, main breaker that I moved the circuits to a sub panel, one eg4 batter. I have power from into the inverter from the main breaker panel and power out from the inverter to the sub panel (which has ground and neutral separated). All working wonderfully...

I recently bought 400 watt bifacials from SanTan also. I mounted them on my patio cover. Before I mounted them, I applied a white roofing coating to get as much as I could from the bifacials. You might think about putting a layer of white rock under your panels. It would also make it so that you...

See my attached pictures. In the blue picture you can see that my load is currently only 602 watts and my inverter is only pulling 901 watts (inverter consumes some of the watts) from my solar panels even though I have about 4000-4500 watts of panels. In the second picture, PV1 shows 3 amps and...

Showme, This last week I just went through the same thing. I knew my panels should be putting out around 4000 watts, but my app for my EG4 6500ex would show that it was only producing a max of 1000 watts at .5 amp and a max of 1 amp at short periods of time. I also saw that the inverter was only...

I have 10 X 400 watt bifacial solar panels mounted to a metal rack/frame which is mounted to the top of my wood framed patio. The panels are wired to my EG4 6500ex inverter (I have one inverter only). Everything is working perfectly, but in the afternoon, while the system was running, I was on...

If I move a few of my home's circuits from main panel to the subpanel (#5 in the picture) but put an automatic transfer switch on the lines (lines from the inverter and the wires from the main breaker) that go into the subpanel so that the ATS switches between supplying grid power or...
