So I just have a quick question about the PowerPro conduit box. I was under the impression that you can’t (shouldn’t) run AC and DC cables together openly in the same raceway, but if using the EG4 18k, PowerPro battery, and compatible conduit box you would have to run both types of conductors...

Oh yeah I agree. I edited my post to make it clear what I’m asking.

EDIT: I’m asking strictly on a battery performance basis not regarding code compliance or if AHJ would approve. @SignatureSolarJames I want to clarify that it’s okay to stack a few of these PowerPro batteries front to back with little to no spacing instead of side by side? And as long as they...

Do they not go by manufacturer recommended spacing in Indiana right now? I’m in Indiana and currently in the process of installing 2 or 3 PowerPro batteries.

I thought about using those initially but decided I liked the extra protections that come with the combiner box. The one I’m using is only a couple hundred dollars so it’s worth it for the low cost. I looked through your build thread, nice setup. I saw you ended up needing to order two...

I’m using the combiner boxes as a way to parallel the series strings of panels. Okay cool, I’ll check it out here in a bit when I have some free time.

No, their VOC inputs are independent of one another. Just make sure that each MPPT input doesn’t exceed the listed max values.

Someone posted this LINK in another thread a while back. You can input your panel info into it and it’ll calculate the voltage increase at a specific temperature.

Nice setup. I’ve decided to go with the 2 6000xp’s and with the savings get a third PowerPro battery. That cost equals out to about the same. My system is completely off-grid with no future reality where there will be grid connectivity. I figure why pay for the grid-tie features the 18kPv...

How was it wiring 2 6000xp’s in parallel, pretty seamless? Have any issues? I haven’t seen any real world reference material of more than one unit. I’m in the process of deciding between 2 of these 6000xp’s in parallel or the 18Kpv. Looking to have at least 2 or 3 14.3kWh PowerPros with it.

Do you have a rough timeline on when CC will have the EG4 18kPV and PowerPro batteries stocked? I’ll be buying some between now and the end of the year and would prefer to have a quicker handling time than what customers of SS are currently seeing. I've ordered from SS multiple times before...

Yeah those are all fair points, and now that you mention it I kind of agree. I’m gonna update the listing. Since shipping is included and around $150 what would you think would be a fair asking price? I mainly want to sell it so it doesn’t just continue to sit if someone else has a use for it...

I have a brand new unopened EG4 6K Off-Grid Split Phase Inverter | 6000EX-48HV | 6000W Output | 7500W PV Input | 500V VOC Input | Split Phase 120/240VAC | All In One Solar Inverter. I initially designed my off-grid solar setup around this inverter when I expected to build a workshop along with...

Both strings max currents are within the inverter max input limits. I just went back through the numbers to double check. Okay I’ll look up the eg4 chargeverter and see what the use cases are. I’m assuming I’ll still need to use a generator control module with the eg4 chargeverter to auto start...

I went back and double checked my numbers at the coldest temp around here and both strings came in under the max inverter input. 405V @ 13.22a and 574.8V @ 18.54a I’ll look into the black poly piping but, I’m pretty confident it’ll be fine given the location on the property it’s being trenched...

This is my first time posting to this forum but I’ve used it several times as a resource. I want to make sure I have this system planned out correctly before I purchase all of the equipment. I have never installed a solar system of this size before and I’m going to try my best to include all of...
