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

[rakitejada]

Also reboot it again, several reports of the settings not being respected after the 1st reboot and some general funkiness....technical term !!!

Thank you!

Thanks for replying, i had several problems, but they guys in the forum asked me to change a setting: turn off battery back up mode. That fixed one of the problems i was having. So lets skip that one.

so right now while on off grid mode it works great and switches to grid after batteries reach limit, i can live with that.

But at the moment i have guys working woth heavy equipment and eventhough they dont maintain a high peak that with rest of the house i dont think they go over 12,000w the inverter seems to be resetting because of overload constantly

Correct me if i am wrong: its there a way i can have grid assist, in the case i have a high peak that makes to load go over 13000w it can use 12,000w and the extra 1000w from the grid?

But when i set to off grid mode. It doesnt matter ig the batteries are high soc, it doesnt matter if i have 10000w from solar, its usign EVERYTHING from the grid:

Off grid:






And when i want grid assist and turn off the off grid mode it goes like this:

10 year warranty and only 70watts idle consumption..... interesting indeed

Idle consumption is very low indeed. Its been a bit over 70 for me, but never over 100W.

2-5 minute timer before kicking back to battery/Solar, when grid is turned on.

2-5 minute timer before kicking back to battery/Solar, when grid is turned on.

I understand that. But after the 5 minute timer, is it going to be grid assist? Meaning that the first 12000w would be supplied by solar/batteries and any thing over 12000w will be supplied by grid.

Example:

15000w load will be handled:

12000w by inverter
3000w by griD

Correct? If not, how can i achieve that? I had it that way months back i remember vividly

Yes. Assume you don't have a unique setting preventing that.

 

[Quattrohead]

If you know you have workmen spanking your power maybe just put the inverter into standby whilst they are there and then everything will be supplied by grid.

This worked perfectly! Thank you so much @Quattrohead @Zapper77

This is exactly what i wanted to see working:



Using 15,100W. Using 12,000w from the eg4 and the rest from the grid! This is awesome

Thanks again

Welcome.

Public release firmware 1919 has been very good.

Historic day for me: Reached 10,000kWh produced by my solar system + EG4!

Congrats Rakitejada!

I'm getting close to 17,000 kWh here. System has been running with no issues for a long time.

So what setting exactly was wrong on your system, for those who might look through this thread?

 

[rakitejada]

I just did everything they told me and it working perfectly now. I guess that when i updated the firmware those settings were reset or something, but i followed their instructions 100% and its back to normal. Ans the export problem we had when they first came out 1 year ago, its much much better right now, much better. Happy with that

That was clear as mud. Can’t even tell what the dispute was.
