WANT TO GO SOLAR BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START?
If you don't want to go DIY, this is the best way to save money. I used Energy Sage to research solar and receive multiple competing quotes for my install. This will save you thousands of dollars!

I love this system so far! Let me know your experience below.

[stevenfrazier]

great to see you are using EG4 equipment. we are off-grid with the 18kpv, 15 kilowatts of bi-facial, 60 kilowatts of lifepo4 batteries and a diesel generator using filtered waste veggie-oil. EG4 is the best.

I use the smaller 6000xp but I have a small off grid house, it powers my water pump really easily which is my largest load. I'm also very impressed with Signature Solar.

Always makes me smile when I hear: I was able to speak to a “live person”. As opposed to what? I use the same saying too but it still makes me smile.
Thank you for the update. It is helpful as we are looking to expand too.

This is another excellent video. You are doing a great job teaching a lot of us.

This is another excellent video. You are doing a great job teaching a lot of us. Thanks!

Thank you for producing this video. One one of the best ones out there for 12K Pv installation and setup.

[d.pollard]

Thank you for taking the time to put these out and explain. I appreciate it

[Terrathrax]

Thanks! Super informative video, much appreciated.

Don’t forget your bushings on those conduits 👍

You can hit the refresh button on the App to get a real time update and reading, it's located right next to the green light normal indicator.

Love your videos Dave. I’ve got 2 x 6000XP’s that are running flawlessly. I also used the Ready Rack from APA Solar, based on your first video. Love it!!

Knowledgeable, relevant, personable, great communicator.... your subscriber base will grow. I know it ticked up by one right now. And as a former Alaskan, where did you get that great hat??

Nice job, Dave! What a great and informative video!

[hippie-io]

Thanks Dave, I am planning on purchasing an EG4 unit.
I find the whole "use lead acid battery" approach very disturbing, given the problems I have had with other MPPT units.
Please manufacturers: Let me set the battery type to LiPO4, PERIOD!! Then provide the necessary software inputs to balance the system.
OR
Use some intelligent algorithms in you software to bring everything up to speed.
Confidence goes WAY low when the manufacturer requires us to be as well-versed as Everyday Dave is. Not all of us will be exposed to his excellent tutorial.

I always enjoy you videos sir. Just wanted to give folks a heads up about saving a few hundred bucks on a soft start. EG4 says (and has a video on their channel) the 12k can start a 5ton ac unit while already running a few thousand watts worth of load. So maybe people can buy both and hold off on installing it to see if it's necessary. Thankya sir!

[tjmooney]

I love these eg4 products 🎉 thanks for sharing 👍

Solar assistant easily connects to the wifi dongle. Give u instant data. I would recommend getting a ras Pi and giving it a try.

[JakePusateri]

In the future, you can record the inverter's screen for better live updates. It updates way more frequently, at least on my 18kPV.

I have the 6000XP. There is no separate mounting bracket so you have to hold the 50 pound unit up againat the wall while you insert the mounting bolts. Requires two strong people.
