Will's video on the EG4 6000xp says with the split phase only 3000 watts are available as 120 volt. Signature Solar says all 6000 w can be available as 240v.
I would like the EG4 to feed the 240 v directly to my 200 amp main in the house. Is this correct and would the same be true if 2 EG4s were connected in parallel.
Does the EG4 have connections for 2 wires to pickup the 240v (120 for each leg) plus a third connection for the 120v out put Thanks for your help. Still lots to learn.

Yep, but that's on both legs, i.e., you have one leg of 3000W of 120V and another leg of 3000W of 120V.

Signature Solar says all 6000 w can be available as 240v.

Yep.

Not as stated. Your panel is a split phase panel - two hots and a neutral. All three would have to be fed to your panel.

Is this correct and would the same be true if 2 EG4s were connected in parallel.

Not sure what you're asking. If you use two, you would have 6000W on each of your two 120V legs and 12000W total between legs.

Split phase is:

L1
N
L2

L1-L2 is 240V
L1-N is 120V (leg 1)
L2-N is 120V (leg 2)

Your power company comes in with those three wires.

Your EG4 outputs those three wires.
 
Here's a good video showing this inverter I just saw yesterday (video made by Signature Solar).. Paralleled!

You will spend hours if not days with customer support, look for something else.

this is not a grid tie system. off grid only.

Not necessarily I caught them right before closing time on a Friday and they troubleshooted my issue within minutes of emailing them I received a phone call. I know that's not going to be everybody's situation but it was with my experience. I'm sure it will vary widely
