I made an order early last month (September). From signature solar. I ordered a 18k PV eg4, 30 solar panels and 2 powerwall batteries eg4 also. Was told I would get mid sept. (Estimate to be fair). Then I was told there was a delay, and they were waiting for some UL certifications for the...

Is anyone out here running an eg4 18k, with powerwall battery or batteries and hooked to the grid but NOT selling back to the power company, IE not doing net metering? That’s what I want to do. Mines on order and hopin to see what people are doing.

Came home to a dark house this evening. Battery was at 26% when I left this morning at 6:39 am, typically the panels are humming along by 10:30, and charge the battery 100%, and keeps frig, freezer etc all going fine. All was off and battery was empty when I hit home and it was a super sunny...

I purchased an eg4 18k. I have a question before I get it I hope to have resolved in my brain. If I don’t want to have net metering, is there a way to set it up so solar is prioritized to the house loads and then any extra goes to the batteries and if the batteries are full I don’t want it...

It’s been a while Since I rand conduit, so let me pick your brains and thanks in advance; 1- anyone have an easy affective way to dig. A trench, other than shovel or trencher or backhoe? 2 I have lots of fire sprinkler 1” pvc I think I’m gonna use, as far as I can tell it’s the same as cpvc...

I have a 3 ton heat pump that is running on an eg4 6000 ex. Lights dim when it starts but it seems to be working fine. I don’t want to kill my compressor or inverter so I’m thinking about a soft start but not Sure which one to Get. Looking for Suggestions and comments.

Does this tax credit still exist for this year? If so, is it for eg4 stuff like batteries and inverters, and what about like ground mount framing bolts and combiner boxes, wire and solar panels? Thanks In advance

I have a 6000ex that I am using on weekends etc, and I just go out and shut my main 200 amp breaker off in my main service panel and I have a 50 amp breaker I keep off but once the main 200 amp breaker is off, I turn it on to back feed the 240 vac onto the main panel. If I end up going with the...

I’m looking for some affordable 48 volt batteries. I bought 1 for like 1599 from Ss. It didn’t take long to figure out I need way more. Are there any affordable ones out there that don’t sacrifice quality? Also is there any difference really in the eg4 lifepower and LL batteries? I can...

My eg4 6000 ex, when I switch it to eg4 battery (setting 14), it gives a fault and shuts down a few minutes later. I changed back to default and it runs fine (for a couple days). So I went and tried to download a new firmware thinking that may solve the issue. Got the file off the ss site and...

I just got my single eg4-6000ex fired up this past weekend with one LL 48v battery and 12-280 watt panels. This was meant to be a just in case shtf system. Now I’m going to start on 12 more panels for a total of 4 strings in parallel, roughly 6-7kw PV input. This should do for a while...

Ok guys this is what I’ve got so far on my hand truck. What r your thoughts? Meant to serve as a critical load backup in the case shtf.

Newbie here. Probably a dumb question, but here goes……Wanting to know how to connect mc4 to a combiner box terminal. Is there a coupling to do this or do you just cut the mc4 and splice? I’m wanting to Use 10awg wire to go from the combiner box to the all In one connections, so how do I...

Hello all. If I put 6 panels in series (Trina 280 watt), then put Two of these 6 panel series (for a total of 12 solar panels in parallel, do I need a combiner box or can I just wire them at the ground mount? See attached. I may add on in the future and will likely add on. I already ordered...
