my has been running flawlessly 24/7 for 9 months now. love it

Wow! You are very enthused about what you are doing. Solar is relatively new to the average older consumer. You covered the EG4 inverter in good detail without floundering or glitching. And with your research and testing you came to the conclusion this would be the best inverter to recommend. I like your upbeat manner and amount of good information presented. I was told that solar would not work on my property due to so many trees on and surrounding my property. I am motivated to research this product further. Thanks. You are a great motivational speaker.

Mine broke after 3 weeks (internal comms fault) took a week for SS to speak with me for their tier 2 tech support to agree with me that it was broken. I didn't have the carboard box anymore so I had to buy another 6000xp and they're gonna refund me once they receive the broken one. The warranty is solid but if you're actually off-grid don't be surprised when it fails and takes two weeks to get a replacement. And keep the giant box it comes in!

I just got mine working as a UPS, and I use it to shave peak usage on my HVAC, and other 24/7 circuits. I built a DIY pack after it was all done ready for use I probably spent about $2400 on 14.5kwh battery 280 amps at 48V. If I were to do it over again just buy a EG4 power pro they cost $3600 you get a UL certified battery system. I plan to add solar this winter just need to get them racked out on my ground mount.

I just got my 6000xp lasts week and my 10 aptos 370w panels come in this week. I love it so far but I haven’t gotten enough time in with it yet so I’ll hopefully be dropping a review on it myself in a few months. Thanks for this video it gives me more to look out for.

[SignatureSolarEthan]

Awesome job on the review! 🙌 The information about the EG4 6000XP inverter was incredibly helpful. Keep up the fantastic work! 🌟

[keaomakaranch]

Maybe best-selling but definitely not their flagship. Great budget quality performer and their economical entry into a 240 inverter. Great improvement over the 6500EX.

[koohami]

thanks so much for the information about the 220 input

[johnmonroe]

How about a review on the various BMS's out there. A lot of those seem to have issues. There is an Australian Garage guy reviewing them, and I respect his work, but it's focused on how it integrates with Victron equipment. Half of them might be perfectly fine when plugged into another manufacturers AIO.

[MichaelsKarish]

Given that it’s technically a Luxpower inverter, I don’t think the app or screen menu is going to be changed anytime soon
Been lamenting about the same issues now over four years n all they did was remove some features from the app n they force you to go through technical support to even parallel the units
Thadd rd s great if you’re in the US, SA or china
Good luck if you’re anywhere else

[kpbarbee]

Thanks for the great video review! Just a few things I would like to have known: Is there a cellular modem option? I'm assuming the unit has MPPT controllers--how many? Does EG4 have an online portal--I know you mentioned the app, but is it Bluetooth or what? And can conduit connect to the box easily?

Thoughts about installing this in a sprinter van? I have high power requirements (2 stark varg electric dirtbikes with 240vac 3.3kw chargers each) and plan to pair it with 48v 280ah 14.3kwh EG4 pack. I'd like to install solar on the roof but the EG4 6000xp has a 120v PV minimum input and that's going to be tough to achieve on a 170 sprinter roof. Might just use a standalone solar charger with lower voltage requirements. I can't find another inverter that meets my requirements. Thoughts?

[dupre]

I'm glad I found your channel. This info is excellent. Much better than Will Probes IMO. I'm definitely going to get an EG4-6000 unless something better comes out in the next year. Maybe they will update the screen before I'm ready to buy.

[j.ciloafasho]

What would be factors that would make you consider choosing this over the Ecopro Ultra and Anker solix setups?

[arksonephimmasane]

Thanks for sharing! Can I use this to run a refrigerator and two air conditionings in my house?

[slugbyte]

The new firmware is a big improvement for this unit, 5000w on one 120v leg

[vinny]

Im putting one of these units on each breaker in my house

[simon]

This is why I picked Victron, the menus are outstanding & I can change anything on the fly easily! And I can do it from my phone. 🤙

[fullyelectric]

@TheSolarLab great review on the 6000xp, i have to say i have experience most of what you stated on mine, however if you put on the latest firmware you can run unbalanced on L1 or L2 much longer with even more load, also the 6000XP is NOT EG4 flagship inverter, the EG4 18Kpv is and a newer version will be out this November, the second is the EG4 12Kpv, 3rd is the 6000XP and its getting sort of old already, but yeah the 6000XP is the cheap boy on the block with 240v split phase right out of the box, once sick inverter IMO and the web cloud management is awesome as well iMO.
