Thanks for the detailed explanation and the pictures!

Thanks for all the replies. This has given me some ideas on how to manage this installation. Much appreciated.

I have an EG4 6000XP mounted on the wall of my garage about 3 feet from my breaker panel. I need to run 4 wires L1 L2 neutral and ground out of the panel to the inverter which is on the wall. The wire will exit the panel inside of flexible nylon conduit. I’m having a hard time coming up with a...

I have a DIY battery, 48 volt 560 ah. I’m considering buying the new EG4 chargeverter to charge my battery instead of using the inverter. I need a system that I can set and forget because I will be away from the system for extended periods. I don’t and won’t have a generator, so I must power...

Very nice. I’m interested in getting one myself.

I’ve got some aluminum stock, I might just make my own.

The panel is over 20 years old but it works fine. And it’s 200 amp which more than covers my needs. So I don’t plan on replacing it.

That won’t fit. My breaker is on the right

I’ve searched and haven’t found any other retailers. There was one sold on EBay but it was over $100 and I would not pay that ridiculous price!

That’s a hell of a deal at that price.

That looks like it. But I see it’s out of stock.

Actually it won’t fit. Mine’s a 200 amp single pole breaker. This is for a double pole and the part that blocks the breaker switch would not block mine

That looks like it might. Thanks. But darn that’s expensive!

I’m trying to find a generator interlock kit for my Murray LC240PC panel with 200 amp main breaker. Mine has the main breaker on the top left. I can find ones for a top left main breaker but not for mine. Does anyone know of an interlock kit that will fit this panel? Thanks

Where was it purchased and does that include shipping?

I’ve come to the same conclusion. Too good to be true. The case and hardware with BMS should be close to that price alone, without the cells. You can buy the cheapest 280ah cells for about $1300 delivered from China. So the cheapest you should be able to build a comparable battery would be...

I received an instant message from an Alibaba supplier asking if I would be interested in a 51.2v 280ah server rack battery for only $950. Not sure what the shipping would cost but this seems crazy cheap?

Thanks

I am see photos. It’s made to hold up to three. I’m using one dual breaker. But that leaves a space which still alows the breaker to move sideways. .

Thanks

Thanks. I guess I’ll figure something out. I mean they work but I don’t like having them move around when I try to throw the switch. I’m using these breakers as a cutoff for my battery.

I know this is a simple problem, and maybe I’m just not understanding how it mounts, but should a breaker slide back and forth on the din rail? I have tried three different ones and they all mount, but I would think they should stay in place? My don’t. They all slide back and forth and won’t...

I have a brand new EG4 6500EX-48 inverter that I bought for my project but never used. This is still in the original box and was never opened. Purchased from Signature Solar one year ago. I’m in East central Virginia, just south of Richmond. I do not want to ship, so local pickup only. Asking...

Thanks, I’ll look into that

Actually the picture was taken around 2 pm. The maximum output was at noon and there was no shading. I’m waiting for HOA permission to roof mount them. They do not allow a permanent ground mount. This was just for initial testing.

Yes, I had a 2800 watt load running. I will try your suggestions. Yes I know it’s over 180 volts at like 16 amps. I also just ordered a Solar test meter. When I get it, I will check each panel individually. I want to do a proper mount. But I’m waiting for HOA approval to mount them on my roof...

Battery voltage is 48v 16 272ah cells in series. At the max output, yes zero shade Inverter is an Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM-ES You can see the panels in my two pictures. 6 panels in a single string Yes, at high noon. Inverter set to Solar first Yes it’s not possible to have all of the panels...

I’m trying to determine if my solar panels are working correctly. I have 12 Canadian Solar 250 watt panels, in a series/parallel configuration. Two paralleled sets with 6 panels in each string. The highest output I’ve seen so far has been around 1300 watts. Theoretically I should be around 3000...

Ian’s Solar Projects on YouTube. At about 11:03 you’ll see Ian use his thumb to press the Solar PV icon which brings up another screen with information.

I’ll have to go back on YouTube and find that video. It might have been watts247?

Thanks for all the responses, that clears things up for me.

Thanks!

Hello, Yesterday I successfully downloaded and installed Solar Assistant and have it monitoring Solar production on my system. I currently have six 250 watt solar panels in series, feeding my Growatt SPF 3000 ES inverter, which is connected to my DIY 14kw Lifepo4 battery. Everything seems do...

Rechecked all connections. I know that the wiring of the sense leads to the BMS and cells is correct. I did re-torque all the bus bars, they were already torqued to 4nm. The BMS ring leads were all crimped and soldered. Sense ring connectors are directly on top of the bus bars, and underneath...

Thanks for your comment. You actually caught something I thought would not be readily apparent. Cells 1-8 are the Lishen 272ah cells, and 9-16 are Eve 280ah cells. I did notice that I only got 254ah out of the 272 that I had hoped for. When I tested the Lishen cells individually I got between...
