Eg4 inverter future

I dont have a youtube ?

You’re a better man than me ?
I’d order two if it had a different assortment of letters on the outside but I’m a petty ass sometimes too
I’m excited to see how this one pans out. It checks nearly all the boxes in my list.

Oh they would have been ordered through Current Connected or Lux direct. I should have clarified that in my post.
I had ...... Nevermind not airing that info.

 

[42OhmsPA]

It wont let the video upload says its to big ?

I had the same issues in my SRNE thread, had to trim to under 10 seconds and compress it into a zip file.

I dont have a youtube ?

You and me both, I tried to upload but the tube didn't like my VPN ?

Wait a second.... You're saying SS / EG4 actually listened to the community and sent out units to beta testers (besides Will) ?
This is excellent news if so.

Yes. (Sorry for the delay), better to have a few things fixed before full launch.

 

[Markus_EG4]

not working

 

[Zapper77]

Shouldn't have to rewire anything. Just put an AC meter on the PV terminals.

Assumed they wanted AC in from grid.

Just AC output from the inverter...no AC on the PV. It did pick up 140 mV of DC.

Agreed. I know I come off as anti SS on here but I've always been rooting for EG4.
Honestly if I didn't already have my SRNE 10kw I would have ordered 2 of these 30 minutes ago.

Why?

PV disconnect on?

 

[timselectric]

And solar production?

 

[Zapper77]

PV disconnect on?

Yes, PV disconnect on.

PV disconnect off was a flat zero AC/DC

not at launch...

Suggesting it will eventually?

 

[42OhmsPA]

Why?

Mainly to support a US based company, 2nd biggest reasons would be dedicated generator input, the built in breakers and ability to parallel multiple.
Now that I see they don't recommend Solar Assistant I don't think I would.

Compatibility with Solar Assistant is a must have.
Without that, it doesn't matter what it's other capabilities are.
For me, anyway.

I appreciate this info. Is that with the inverter on battery supplying the load you have hooked up? Or hooked up with AC input to the inverter?

I can get AC out on the PV in both of those scenarios. Thanks for testing. If it's zero in all these cases, I'll be buying one ASAP.

My question as well. If it can do batteries-optional, and ac coupled eventually.. id pull the trigger right now.

@SignatureSolarJames what say you?! Lol

Ok got it

 

[Will Prowse]

Oh right, I tested for potential on the PV input as well on my unit. I have the latest firmware and there's no voltage I can see. Also tested to ground and across each terminal.

Great news, thanks!!

Excellent unbiased video Will.
I'm looking forward to EG4 / SS follow up on surge testing.

Here I finally got the video to load LOL

Not going to lie. This thing is already impressing me.

I have one in my cart, but @Zapper77 is going to test something for me tomorrow before I pull the trigger.
