We are brand new to solar, had 2 consultants and 2 electricians help us build this system but it's been glitching out so we upgraded batteries and now it's not working at all.
Our system is 6 SH-450WM panels into an EG4 6000ex 48v Signature Solar inverter into 2 48v CHINS lifePO4 batteries in series.
We WERE running 2@ 24v batteries and they charged for about 6 weeks but would run out of juice after about 36 hrs, got a BP warning, rebooted once, and then stopped charging all together... yet they were showing 1/2 full on the inverter readout.
Called Signature Solar and they said get 2@ 48v batteries. Thankfully CHINS was willing to exchange even though we'd had them for 6 mos.
At first these 2 new 48s seemed to connect but started to heat up, then they seemed to be charging, but BP error came up again, now they trip the HA 4way 60amp circuit breaker every time. Even just tried one battery. Same.
Super frustrating as we're living in the home, with no other power source, it would be great if this system worked smoothly.
thanks so much
