Eg4 12kpv volts but no watts not charging batteries

Any idea why the panels are not charging the batteries? The minimum voltage is 100 for the inverter . 2 batteries hooked up in parallel, no errors but not charging.

Communication between batteries and inverter?

Yep it’s communicating it’s set to pylon using eg4 inverter to 2 eco worthy server rack batteries. Unless I’ve missed a setting for them

Whenever there's an issue, and you are running closed loop communication.
The communication is always the problem. And open loop is always the solution.

lol, yeah exactly this.

Any time I see a post about a problem where either the inverter or batteries (or both) are EG4, my first thought is always that open-loop communications would solve the problem. First question: 'have you turned it off and back on again?'. Second question: 'have you tried unplugging the communication cable for the battery?'
And this isn't a knock on EG4. While I don't have any EG4 equipment, from what I see on the forum it seems like pretty high quality stuff, and their support staff seems really good. If anything, it's maybe so frequently EG4 because so many people here have their equipment.
But closed-loop seems to cause all kinds of problems for people and solves... Nothing? Maybe I'm just being obtuse, but I honestly cannot see a single actual upside to closed-loop communications in a system that has adequate battery capacity.

Any idea how to change it to open loop communication?

Change the battery type to either "user" or "lead acid".
Remove the communication cable, and set your own charging parameters.

Never mind
