EG4 18KPV in full beast mode 24,000 watt test (2 inverters)

[neo2299]

I have 2 x 18kpv powering my 400amp house. The heat pump + range was pulling some serious juice and the inverters handed it with ease

Nice! How much battery storage do you have?

 

[BentleyJ]

According to those numbers the system was running at 94.3%. Nice.

I have 4 powerpros

Looks awesome.

Can you provide more details please on the install. The 3 line diagram would be really helpful.

I have a 400A main with 2 200A branches. I have asked SS what the design should be in this instance but not received a response. Do you have 2 independent systems, one for each 200A circuit? do the 2 inverters go separately to each branch but share battery back up? Thanks

Would be interested in your solar side as well.

It looks awesome. Well done.

I have main electric (200amp x2) going into shutoff switches... from there they go to each inverter and out to the 200amp panels

To follow up... I have a master inverter and slave... they share all 4 batteries

any chance you could post the 3 line diagram?

getting that added to manual

Have you tested how they handle it with the grid disconnected?

I have turned off grid and it’s handled 12k no problem but it’s hard to replicate this level of usage. All depends on my hvac

That's a huge solar array. I wish I could do something like that.

Great job.

Nice. They seem to be impressive inverters. I'm glad to see EG4 is making good improvements in equipment choices.

You an me both. I had a bit over 9kw coming in today and want at least twice that.

 

[Danke]

What’s the difference between the Luxpower 12K and the EG4 18K?

 

[Redflyer]

The winter production blows. I'm lucky to get 8kw out of my twelve panels. I'm adding another six shortly....but that's peanuts compared to Neo.

Jealousy is a tough pill. But happy for others!

I dont get anywhere near the 27KW rating since i have east/south/west facing... right now with bad sun angles i get 12-14kw during peak...but this design allows an even production throughout day.

Oh man that smokestack is ocd fuel. I would be ripping it down.

That fireplace is the only thing heating the house If electricity isn’t available. It’ll save me in an emergency.
