Looking for some insight on some issues.
For starters, I have a single EG4 6500Ex-48 inverter that is connected to (3) EG4 LL batteries. The only source of power are PV panels.
The reason for this is/was to get off the pair of Honda generators that were supplying power to my RV. I was spending upwards near $40/day in fuel using the a/c to keep the RV at a remotely tolerable temperature. Consistent 110°+ days down here are pretty rough inside of an RV.
I'm in a semi remote location in the AZ desert and I have NO grid power on my property.
I've read (somewhere) that using a single inverter causing some erratic behavior. True / False?
My (2) main issues are:
1: a persistent 6P error at frequent random intervals. (error message value not listed in any manual that I have, that I know of)
I thought I had saw somewhere that a ground wire from the PV panels needed to be connected to the inverter to resolve the 6P error.
Admittingly, I do NOT have that grounding wire connected to the inverter at this point in time.
2: low wattage input into the inverter from the PV panels.
I currently have (14) Solarever 455-watt panels hooked up to the inverter through the PV1 connection.
So with simple math I should have 4.5k watts at the inverter. I'm actually about 600watts and 384-ish volts, per the display values on the inverter.
I've also heard that this ground wire might resolve this issue?
My wire from the panels to the inverter is 10gauge stranded wire with soldered Staubli connections.
Again, the main goal was to get up and running as fast as possible with the minimum effort to eliminate the generators.
At the moment I only need power for the following: (refrigeration, a few lights, RV water pump and a/c).
I don't know the exact load / power requirements, but I do know that with 3000watts of power I'm able to achieve what I want. I've proven that when the 6P error is not present.
All I'm really looking for at the moment is to find the cause for this random 6P error code. I think once this error code is gone things will start working a lot better, no?
