I have an EG4 6500EX inverter paired with six EG4 server rack batteries (four LiFePower models and two LL-S models), all housed in an EG4 enclosed battery rack. My solar setup consists of 20 bifacial panels rated at 400 watts each, with a Voc of 37.07V.
Initially, everything worked perfectly, and I was generating around 5 to 6 kW per hour. However, I’ve recently encountered an issue: each solar array now only produces about 314 watts (314V at 0.07 amps). If I run a load, the input increases slightly to about 660 to 700 watts.
This problem started after using the EG4 Chargeverter, which is connected to the bus bars of the EG4 enclosed battery rack. The Chargeverter ran for approximately 4 hours using a Westinghouse WGen 5300DFcU generator. At the time, my batteries were at about 20% charge, and I used the Chargeverter to recharge them to 90%, just as a test to see how long it would take to charge the batteries in the absence of solar power.
The Chargeverter charged the batteries to 90%, and everything seemed to run fine, including powering my home from the batteries. However, the next day, I noticed a significant drop in my solar input.
