Great video, thanks! I would love to see a video for how to hook this thing up. I just purchased and am installing an EG4 solar system and included the chargeverter since we are off grid and will use a generator versus the grid to charge the batteries. It's tough to figure out how exactly to wire this up.
This is the best, most detailed video I have seen so far about how to properly parallel two of these EG4 batteries. AND you explained the grounding too, which is sooooo helpful!! I am in the process of installing 4 of the PowerPro beauties along with 3 EG4 6000k inverters and I was struggling with the wiring a bit. Thank you!!
Thank you. First I will tell you that I am a master electrician. I have many years experience with electronics and computer repairs. I will tell you THIS FIX WORKS! 👍
Glad I'm finally catching up on the comparison video. Really enjoyed the points you made as always. I know one panel that isn't going anywhere anytime soon are the Sirius panels we started carrying not long ago. Let me know if I can help in anyway. Great job!
High frequency, output transformerless inverters like these offer shorter life expectancies and poorer surge capacities than low frequency, transformer based inverters. And without an output transformer to provide galvanic isolation between this inverter's DC boost stage and its AC output, you can damage your AC appliances or onboard EV charger during a catastrophic failure of this inverter's H-Bridge circuit. So no thanks.
Great Video. Thank you! How did you balance the batter voltages before connecting them? If there was a difference in their voltages wouldn’t that risk damage?
Really appreciate your helpful vids! I am getting 3 of these and am wondering if they actually need to be connected to the wall or can be left freestanding near the wall? The instructions don't say they have to be mounted but are they just assuming everyone will? It will be difficult for me to locate them in the optimal place if they need to be attached to the wall. Also, when paralleling 3 batteries to one inverter they show the central battery as the one connected to the inverter. It would be better if I could use an end battery to run to the inverter. Do you think it would be OK to do that? If so, would I need to add paralleling cables (2 sets instead of one between the batteries)? Thanks again!
In theory they can be free standing, although it will be a risk bc they can tip over and take out the whole system. i highly recommend that you mount them to some secure surface. also, you should use the middle battery because it minimize the length of cable the power has to travel to the inverter. If you connect it to the end, although it will work, there will be more balancing issues bc 1 battery is further away, i've seen this issue with my bank, bc i have long cables connected to another battery bank in parallel with the indoors
All this is is a slimmed down version of a full home solar power system with fewer batteries. Aside from the inverter being upside down, it's perfectly good.
For everyone asking why he didn’t initiate a warranty claim, I think that is part of his complaint, he did and got no customer service. I am concerned because my switch has been working off and on.
What is that UI you're going to? Does the TIGO have a separate monitor and where do all the cables go to specifically? Does Tigo have an aggregator or something or can you install these stand alone?
the ui is the cloud ui from tigo. the modules connect to the "gateway" through wireless, and the gateway connects to the cloud. in order to use any function besides the optimization, you need additional components.

Question: If I have a smart A/C plug, programmed to turn on from, say, 6pm to 6am.... Can I plug this inverter's A/C input into that smart plug to allow it to charge from A/C when that plug is on? I do mean - "without intervention." I want to charge the battery at certain off peak times, it seems easiest to do that with a smart plug.
I have 3 655w Trina solar bifacial, swapped with 3 year old panels, they give the full watts when the sun is up, one of the best for sure, the best part is, I got those on a finished project but since their production was so great, they need it less ones, I got each one 110 bucks, I don't understand why the USA gets old stock of solar panels... Regards
It can always be bought cheaper unless you're trying to buy a panel specifically manufactured for a company but they were all manufactured in China so there is a supplier out of China that's going to supply you with the exact same panel for a third to cost the problem is is it legit are you really getting that panel that's what I'm going through with batteries right now I'm trying to buy 700 Prismatic cells when you really get into the Nitty Gritty of it you don't know if they're coming from burn your car down or drive for days so aggravating so much false information so much misinformation companies not being held accountable for their actions the courts protecting companies and their actions of fraudulent purchase fraudulent actors I'm at my wit's end with this b*******
Is it possible to use it together with other wireless equipment such as Xvive or similar? I currently have a xvive system to make microphones made up of receiver and transmitter wireless, I don't want them to conflict
what if my lithium battery has no communication? do i have to select the lead acid setting? can't seem to get the power to come on without doing that? thanks
Good day! I appreciate the video. I’m trying to run a similar setup (mini split powered by delta) in my van. Can I just wire directly from the outside unit into a 120v plug and plug it in directly into the flow? I’m lost trying to find the right way to get it to work..
Great idea nicely done. Do you happen to have the inside dimensions for the Ridgid box? There are 48V 100ah rack mount batteries on sale for Prime day. Could cut the cost down. Again great idea thank you
