Hey all.
I've pulled the trigger on an EG4 3000EHV-48 and some EG4 batteries during the sale, currently waiting on freight shipment. Sourcing some used panels elsewhere, but rooftop is not an option right now, so it's more of a "getting started".
My usecase is going to be mainly as a UPS right now where I don't expect to fully cycle the batteries every day. I've seen a bunch (and conflicting) information on what top SOC to aim for when you expect the batteries to largely sit there. Effectively I'm mostly doing this as a DIY "solar generator", and will be supplimenting solar with a generator as needed for longer term outages and using transfer switches for critical loads (fridge, electronics/blower for gas furnace, core internet, etc).
Looking for thoughts on settings for the AIO, if the SOC target should be periodically changed higher (once a month or whatever), how "deep" of a cycle "counts" as a cycle (and does this need to be daily, ?) I will be diving into the communication with the AIO to see about things like bumping the SOC target when theres a storm coming, and fun stuff like that; so how long can the batts sit at at a time at say 98% before I'm reducing lifespan?
