Anyone with 4 EG4 6500EX-48 Inverters

[LinuxSneaker]

Like many, I saw one of Will's video and took the plunge. I have two EG4 6500EX-48 Inverters providing two-phase power. I also have lots of panels and batteries, but I am thinking of adding two more inverters. I know that the way to connect it up is in the manual, but I was wondering if anyone actually has that configuration. If so, can you post pictures? My setup is fairly clean, but I'm wondering the best way to arrange two more and yet still keep battery cable length equal with all four.

Wire all the batteries and inverters to the same busbar.

(4) EG4 6500ex inverter install

This is my build thread now. Will update as i go and will ask my questions as well. Thanks in advance. I have 4- eg4 6500ex inverters i want to install split phase to run my entire home. I understand how to connect 2 of these in split phase but not 4. Manual doesn't show the ac connection...

Sorry, don't have the notifications on.
I have 4 inverters with #2 wire for each feeding a 60amp breaker. ( hot) I bought dual pole breakers, but should have bought single pole, the reason.. If i needed to just turn one inverter off i could.
I only use 2 inverters 90% of the time. I only need to other 2 in the evenings, or the days like we are canning all day, AC's on, doing clothes, and hot water heater on..
I run the other 2 in Standby mode so i can use the PV from them.

Here's how i have them wired into my panel. Solar in on this panel (240v) and i have a sub panel all 120v circuits. I marked them inverter #1 - #4

I have 4- stacks of 5 batteries. Going to bus bars on each stack.
I have another set of bus bars that connects the battery bus bars to the inverters. 4/0 wire
all wires from battery bus bars to main bus bars and to inverters are 6ft

Let me know if you have any questions

@Adam De Lay i got my cables in to connect to my solar assistant from wats 24/7. I connected them to each inverter and to the SA but it wasn't reading anything. They read fine with the micro usb. But one port is broken on my inverter. Do i need to do anything to make them work?

The length you want to keep the same is from the battery busbar to each battery.

Also, for the rack, it looks like the wires to the battery bus bar come off the bottom of both rack busbars. Ideally, one comes off the bottom, and the other off the top.

Ideally the wire connecting the battery bus bar to the main bus bar (inverters) should connect in the middle of each busbar.

Assuming the above, if you have more than 2 battery racks, in connecting the battery to the battery busbar, if the red connection is close to the jumper wire between busbars, then the black connection should be far from the jumper.

I’ll send a PM to not go off topic.

Here is my set-up with 4 inverters, battery wires are the same length.
