Will has, without doubt, the most knowledge, integrity, and 'service to others' mindset (instruction books, videos, forum), and enthusiasm in his field. He's an absolute blessing! Thanks, Will, for another great review!

[carbonrrpilot]

At this point I don't even care what you're reviewing I'm just glad to see you back, that was quite a break you took, thought something might have happened I'm glad everything's OK

[IglesiaPentecostalElArca]

This guy is the best teacher for solar panels and inverters on the youtube University.

[BillLowenburg]

Will, I used your tutorials to install a simple system in my art studio and shop in my barn two years ago that has functioned flawlessly ever since. I knew nothing about solar electric units, wiring, configuration, etc beforehand. Using your book as a guide and your online installation videos, I bought and assembled everything with just a little help from a friend. I use the system every day and it has made a big difference in my life. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

[zmarko]

Wow, seems like every few months there's a new inverter and/or battery that changes my mind about what to go with. Seems like an impressive unit.

[ItsEverythingElse]

Nice to see things like breakers being integrated. I do hope they make a 3kW single-phase unit like this.

[KingJames]

Happy to see more reliable split phase units coming out and reasonable prices. Would be good to see an 8k next

[thewitherslayer]

This is great! Ive had the 18k in my cart though I didnt need that much but wanted the code compliance and features. This is like a dream come true!!!!

[bobcole]

Been wondering where you been, and now you feature the exact inverter ive been looking for! Thank you so much for all you do for the solar community!

[dfox]

Welcome back Will. Thank you for your time. Hopefully your shop will be completed soon. I hope you give us a walk through. ❤

[mikehotchkiss]

From wooden wheels to rocket ships in just a few years. Been watching you a while and every couple months it is a sea change in tech. Also thanks for the info

[michiganengineer]

Looking forward to seeing the parallel testing. Even just using it as a "whole house backup" for a power failure it's a relatively inexpensive unit, minus the batteries that is.

[artemZinn]

Hey Will! In face of more global wars can you please start testing whether these “Smart” connected appliances require actual internet or whether you can pull the data over wifi locally without exposing the network to internet?

A lot of people do need smart access for monitoring and control and integration into local smart home systems like HomeAssistant.

But last thing we’d want after building self-sustainable energy system is for it to be shutdown remotely due to politics/war..

Sorry for being negative, the mood is in the air. Thank you for all your work!

[mikeholman]

Love to see the rapid evolution of this equipment. We're building a house in a year and will solarize the year after that. Very excited about the improvements that will occur in the next two years.

[davidpeterson]

I should've taken Will's suggestion & bought my system from Current Connected. Signature Solar had everything in stock so I went with them. A professional solar installer setup my system & everything was working perfectly for several weeks. Then 1 day out of the blue the inverter stopped working. At this point I've spent 2 weeks talking with tech support at Signature solar. I've done many test & sent photos of everything numerous times. The level 1 phone rep has finally agreed to move the support ticket to level 2. Hopefully this happens but 2 weeks without any real assistance is not good. It's a good thing I'm camping where I have full hookups or I'd have no power. I'll be using Current Connected from now on!

[tonysmith]

This has to be one of your best videos of late. Lots of details (good and bad) from every angle. So much better than the "I love these because they match my new paint!" WTF?!?!! Awesome job on this one!

[trippsnead]

Firstly, I love Will and his videos. I’ve gained tremendous knowledge from watching him. I live on an island in Panama and have known four people that have had eg4 6500 all-in-one inverters that have all had to have them replaced by something else they have continuously given problems and show up with bugs that have to be fixed and never seem to get fixed, just letting people know

[chuckb]

I'd love to see you hook it up to electric heat for your house. These are great videos I love the updated timing

[davidhay]

Arc fault detection and Rapid Shutdown support is really great to see on a less expensive unit -- should allow for code compliant installs that don't break the bank.
