Thank you for the intro of this inverter..

[brandonkanthack]

Does the 200 Amp Bypass automatically initiate under loads that have a high in-rush current then revert back to powering everything off solar/battery?

[yoshiofar]

How do I set solar as priority, recently connected the grid to the inverter, now when the grid on, all I see on the screen is solar to battery and grid to house

[hollywoodj]

Thank you very much for the input, I like to know if you already done the AC coupling? If you did how did you set it up?

[bravotwozero]

Looking at the manual, it seems very intuitive and very flexible. I like that all the safety disconnects are included. I would probably still wire an external grid meter to main panel bypass in case the unit fails.

Just bought the EG4 branded version. I don't expect much difference other than the label. Sounds like a very nice inverter.

i would use lapel mike as the building blocks some sound

[BuildingHisHouse]

What did you mean that the 200 amp pass through allowed you to “cut down on the use of a sub panel”? Could you explain that in detail? I’m just guessing, but does that mean that you are not backfeeding a panel with solar and a backfeed breaker, or are you talking about something different?

[sneakypete]

Very interesting inverter, i currently have 48 panels all using enphase iQ7 micro inverters, you said i could keep those micros and connect line 1 & 2 to the generator ports?? Very very interesting

[mars]

can this inverter be black started? in other words if during grid down, yur batteries from below say 10% and shut down . How do you restart if still only AC coupled or with PV?

[rsmiele]

Is this the same as the EG4 18K? Who else sells this inverter in the US? Thanks

[samfish]

smart port you could use it to charge car so it does not use all your battery

[alansanders]

Can this unit be used with an LiFePO4 battery bank that is not connected with communication? No one seems to answer this question. If I do not buy the computer rack Lithium Batteries, can it charge, and use the LiFePO4 battery bank?

[bearupfarm]

Is this the same as the 18k from Signiture Solar. If not how sells it?

[VintageJoeStalin]

Sound quality is horrendous. Narrative is mostly wordy illiterate slang… “right off the bat”, etc. Seriously. If you can’t even figure out how to create a video with decent sound quality, how do you expect anyone to think that you know anything about a solar hybrid number? I mean seriously, why even waste your time. Or ours.

my battery discharged completely overnight, it didn't use the grid power, it prioritize using the battery first. how do i program it so that the battery is used only as backup
