My experience with the EG4 18KPV and Signature Solar 

Sorry dude, but after 4 minutes I had to shut it off. Too painful. Not a thing said or learned in this time.

Thanks for the update. I've been through several hybrid inverters from Signaturesolar from different manufactures. Each with their own idiosyncrasies using a hybrid grid tied (no net metering) installation with batteries. So far my experiences with them have been great for the most part through their warranty/exchange program. They've been growing and expanding very fast and I see their biggest problem is acquiring and training staff. I've done customer service briefly in the past and working with the DIY community is extremely difficult. Growwatt, inexpensive, worked great with transformer for offgrid, had issues with sharing the Neutral with the Utility tied application. EG4 6500's, worked well, very loud. EG4 18Kpv, expensive, works well, very versatile, needs better step by step instructions for setting up com's with Lifepower 4 batteries.

Thank you.I was looking at purchasing 2 of these for my new install. This not the 1st time I heard this about Signature...

What’s with the cluster Fk of wires, when I see a mess like that it makes me wonder about the insulation and why it’s not working.

I had to RMA my 1 of my 18kpv. They sent me a new one within a week. I boxed up the old one and sent it back with their pre paid labels after the new one arrived. Support has been amazing not sure who you talked to but sounds totally different than my experience.

Signature Solar took forever getting my stuff also, they clearly have problems!! Too much sugar for a dime! But I have four or five days of no sun this time of year anyway so I am rethinking my solar position! Good luck!!!

Sad to hear. I'm leaning toward the Victron and Schneider Electric models where they are not all in 1 and where a lot of money is spent on coding. I saw a bunch of reviews on line where the Schneider Electric, even though their interface was a bit challenging, seemed very versatile. They are a bit more $$$, but it, IMO, saves heartache.

I’m running a eg4 18kpv with powerpro battery and it runs fine. Signature has been great so far. Sorry for your issues. I’m not using the generator you are though.

EG4 18PK? assume you mean EG4 | 18KPV?

I need your expertise on a project , how can I contact you?

tad from teddy digest a hvac u tuber just got this same system he has a video one about how to use a fish tape you may want to contact him he’s in tennessee

Sorry to hear.

18kpv is the best by far especially for the amazing price, signaturesolar has been great to me for all the systems I have installed for friends and family since finding them

That’s why I stick with Victron!

Pro HVAC guy here. Two Sol-Ark 12K and Schneider XW Pro 6848 for me. I bought two EG4 6500EX from SS, just to try some low quality junk out for comparison. Never again. Come on…quit falling for that cheap price. It happens in the HVAC industry too, you and Taddy should know better. We got what we paid for. 47kWp.

Chinese white label LuxPower Tek doesn’t mean it’s not good though

I have heard lots of horror stories about signature solar.

I thought they would have changed by now! If you buy anything from them you better pray 🙏 that it doesn’t fail because they will send you through HELL!

Why do you suppose that no reputable American inverter manufacturer, builds inverter using, low cost, low surge capacity, short lived high frequency inverter technology in their designs?

Very poor business model!

that waxine you took has fried your brain

This makes no sense. What broke? Why are you rambling incoherently?

I would never buy any inverter from any dealer that uses low cost, Chinese made, low surge capacity, short lived high frequency inverter technology.
