EG4 new AIO rated 12K output and 18kPV aka "EG4-18Kpv-12LV"

[Jacob_]

Esperando los videos... jejeje
Recuerda mostrar ambos neutros ... no hay duda de que ambas fases no estan balanceadas por los logs...

One from grid and one for subpanel. The one neutral that is visible in you video, where is it coming from? Grid or subpanel

Edit same question for the single ground wire.

2nd edit. The 18Kpv says line balancing, I honestly have no idea what that means.

dupicate

It takes 5 min for it to transfer back from grid to EPS for grid regulation and code. But the clicking is what I want to find out

 

[Adam De Lay]

So if it’s been happening for the last 4-5 days, what changed around the time that it started? Any firmware updates, wiring changes or new loads added?

 

[Zapper77]

You still had 2-3K worth of surge. Should be able to hit and hold a 5 minute 15K surge with solar.

Edit to say 5 minute delay is accurate for switching from grid back to inverter.

Isn’t that only when you have grid available?

 

[Markus_EG4]

I changed 1 setting on your inverter can you see if it still does this now?

 

[Markus_EG4]

No lol. Grid has 200 amp passthrough

No,

@Markus_EG4 can you clime in on offgrid surge with solar.

 

[Markus_EG4]

No,

The more solar you have the better it works when going over 12k. Of course batteries matter to but the solar really gives it the extra push.
ALL Off grid

Right but passthrough is different than inverting.

Neither Gavin’s nor the SS load tests were able to maintain a 15k output surge for 5 min. Last I heard was that you had to have the grid connected to supplement the surge requirement.

SS video has no PV. and like i said you need enough PV for this to happen. We tested in R&D and I can confirm it works

Nothing had changed. Everything was exactly the same. The only thing that changed is that i got rid of the shadows, cutting down branches and production has gone up the days that has been sunny.

After it started happening i did update to the latest firmware just to see if that was going to help. It didnt.

After @Zapper77 told to me to change to off the grid, it has been acting normal because the problem is with the relays from the grid. (That was last night)

Before last night i had to reset a couple
Of times, sometimes It went away, sometimes i had to turn off the grid main breaker so
It want into off grid/eps mode

It hasnt had any problems Since I changed it to off grid last night (but i dont want to be off grid) i want to still work on grid assistance

Turn it back on boss

 

[rakitejada]

I left the house around 6pm, everything ok. I wont be back until tomorrow. I checked it online it seems to continue running fine on off grid mode.



This was from 8:45pm (3 minutes ago)

Ok boss

 

[rakitejada]

I see in other videos it worked fine for some time.

For MONTHS!

 

[rakitejada]

I hope you're getting a paycheck from Sig Solar with all the help you give everybody.

LoL

 

[rakitejada]

I figured it was the early firmware issue, but looks like he's on 1312.

Could the quality of the grid be just outside of range?

I just saw the graphic @Markus_EG4 pulled from my inverter. That is pretty crazy, with that difference between both legs i dont know how the inverter was even working. And since it WAS working ok, then why did it start doing it from 12:13pm and up?

I need to supervise voltage on both legs. That shouldnt happen

I also sent you a PM. I want to get to the bottom of this I have arranged some testing for tomorrow in R&D as well to see if we can replicate your problem.

@Markus_EG4 Just going to leave this here.

I really want to get to the bottom of it too. Thanks

I think we’re all curious as to what’s going on. I don’t even have one of those inverters and you’ve got me hooked as well!

Always love a good puzzle!

I am curious too, but i wont lie: also a little worried
