Luxpower LXP-LB-US 8k and 10k

[Lastminutepanic]

I see plenty of conversation about the 6k and 12k EG4 variants, but what’s up with the 8k and 10k?

It seems like the 8k or 10k could be good machines for people like me who fall between 6k and 12k. I don’t need the features and expense of the 12k, but I have a hybrid electric tank hot water heater that’s probably too much for the 6k. Also, the 6k can only do 50A of passthrough while the 10k can do 80A (or is it 90a? I’m not sure whether to go by input power or bypass relay rating). For me, with my hybrid tank heater, that’s the difference between a critical loads panel vs a most-of-house standard panel. I don’t need the full 200a that the 12k can do, since I have a second panel for high drain electrical (tankless water heater/dryer/stove).

Seems like last 8k solutions left a bad taste in people mouths from what I have read so they may be steering clear of that size right now to avoid the stigma.

Well, my brother just installed 2 of these with 33 Canadian Solar 600w panels, in our home country, right now they are only with grid and solar, no batteries ( working on it ), but so far they seems to be performing great.
For our Country electrical system they have to change to 208/120, because we use 220/110 and the frequency stays the same as the US.

Here are some pictures of what he got. Of course it is a work in progress, the double throw switch will be replace for an auto transfer switch.

Will post more later.

EG4 Electronics had their version of the 10k at the last solar show, it should be available soon.

I don’t think it’ll be “soon” but I did reach out to them too
Luxpower at least advertised that there’s is in production so I was hopeful for a timely release

Hi @G00SE
Thank you for inviting me to share my thoughts on this. Our 8K model has undergone testing in various scenarios, both at the EG4 lab and at several sites across the US. The EG4 team has been working very hard on it and pushing us for all kinds of detailed improvements before its public market launch.
As a manufacturer, we're not able to disclose our partners' marketing plans before their official announcement. However, I can assure you that we are collectively striving to bring this product to the showcase very soon.

Thank you once again for your interest in our product.

Thanks for the insight. Didn’t mean to put you in a pickle, I didn’t realize that you weren’t also a direct sales entity. I can see how my questions could impact eg4.
