  • Today we are sharing the progress of installing our four EG4 3000 watt off grid inverters in parallel to get a staggering 12,000 Watt output. These little powerhouse inverters can take 500 volt dc PV solar panel input which means you can do panels series for your array. Much more efficient and less wire to run. 80 amp output with 50 amp inrush for starting large loads like my 3 1/2 ton ac at 230 volts. We will be connecting to 5-EG4 LiFePO4 batteries in parallel to make a 25.5 kWh battery bank to run our 3 1/2 ton ac overnight for the summer in the Hot dessert in AZ.

    These EG4 inverters are insane power house inverters able to start large loads like 4 ton whole house ac when 110 degrees out and run all day with solar. It’s crazy so efficient.

      I'm running my 12,000 btu Senville on my solar system right now to feel good in here I have two 25v 3000w inverter chargers I love em

    Great to finally see a quad 3000 set up! I Started out with a 3000 EHV and I still use it as an extra 120v battery charger for my battery bank. Great units. 👍☀️⚡️🔋

      Thanks. They are working great and I just need to add more solar to each inverter to get to 5000 watts on each. Excellent little inverters for the price. Have not seen any other high frequency inverters able to start large loads at all. Thanks for the comment and hope you have a truly wonderful and extremely blessed 2024.

    Excellent video Pappa are u saving energy by using the 4 EG4 inverters compared to the Growatt inverters?

      The idle consumption is only 50 watts per EG4 3000 watt inverter versus 150+ watts idle consumption on 12kw Growatt. The fans are so quite overnight on the EG$ 3000 watt inverter versus the very loud Growatt fans. I could hear the fans kick on in the house and upstairs all day and night with the 12 kw Growatt inverter. I cant even tell standing in front of EG4 3000 watt inverter when the 4 ton ac starts up. Great for overnight use with the EG4 LiFePO4 battery bank. I love these EG4 3000 watt inverters, they are extremely efficient, Quite, able to start large loads, light weight and under $700 each with parallel kit in box. I run my 3 1/2 ton upstairs ac overnight on my 25.5 kwh EG4 LiFePO4 battery bank from 5pm to 7am and was pleasantly suprised to still have over 50 percent state of charge. Ac set at 76-78 degrees overnight. It is 110 degrees out today in phoenix and takes all night to cool down. The parallel communication cables were a little tough to figure out with instructions. When I ran my 3 1/2 ton overnight with Growatt 12 kw inverter, my state of charge would get close to 30 percent. Do the math. EG4 3000 watt inverter is so much more efficient than Growatt 12 kw. Thanks for the question, hope I answered it for you. Hope you have a truly wonderful and extremely Blessed 2024.

    This is such amazing info. I subscribed way back when I ran across your video about running a 5000btu window a/c with just 2 panels. So helpful in cooling the shed.
    Now I feel inspired and overdue to tackle an entire system. These last videos were just the content I needed to emulate a perfect design.
    I currently have in my cart
    4 of the EG4 3kW
    4 of the EG4 LiPo4 Batteries
    30 of the Hyperion 400W bifacials
    And the 6 slot rack
    I plan on building a pergola in the back to mount the panels and hopefully before the August heat kicks in here in SoCal at least have the 3 1/2 ton A/Cs on solar power. After summer I can slowly start switching over circuit after circuit away from the grid until I’m close to maxing out.
    Is there any advice you can give me, especially what else to also add to the order (like wires, breakers, etc that I can’t easily find locally) before I checkout by the end of this week.
    Also I wish the newer LLS batteries were available sooner than August. I mean the 10 year warranty on them sounds great. Maybe get 2 for now and pre order 2 of the LLS?
    Any information would be helpful. Thanks in advance for all that you do!!

      Wow, you are very eager to get this project going. My 3 1/2 ton uses around 2200-2400 watts. So you need at least 2 EG4 batteries to start up ac, also you will need to install a soft start on your ac. The inrush amps will be too high if you do not install a soft start especially at night when running on battery. My inrush amps to start 3 1/2 ton ac was 78 amps, after I installed soft start, it was down to 18-24 amps. That is a huge draw reduced by a $250 soft start. I use 5 EG4 batteries in parallel for over night use, because at 8pm it is still over 100 degrees out here. Not sure what your temps are out there at 6 pm and overnight but you may not need as much stuff that you have in your cart. You will need to run at least 10 gauge wire with ground, 10AWG (2 wires plus ground outside rated wire) from ac fuse pull box disconnect to your inverter electrical panel. You run output from EG4 inverters into breaker panel. Will need electrical code knowledge to wire your breaker panel correctly or hire electrician. You can buy electrical panels with main breaker at Home Depot or Lowes. I bought my 200 amp input at Lowes. You will also need heavy duty buss bars. I bought on Amazon for around $32. You will need wire to run from your battery to your buss bar that connects to inverter. I use Anderson 175 amp quick disconnect with the cables I bought from Harbor freight. Around $40 for 6 foot length of both black and red wire. Will need crimping tool from Amazon, you use a hammer to crimp wire. Around $15 for crimping tool. Anderson 175 amp quick connect kits are around $ 12 a set, available on Amazon as well. Depending on what you are trying to run during the day and night, you might get away with 2 EG4 inverters to start with. That will give you 6000 watts output with the inverters in parallel. You can always add more later. Respond to this message and I will give you my email so you can get answers to any questions. Once you respond, I will give you email and then remove email after you get it. I don’t mind answering questions to help you in deciding what product to get. Your shopping cart is going to cost a lot. Your cart is around $14,000 or more. They sell pergola sets on Amazon (backyard Adventures) and sometimes can find in Sam’s club. Starting at $1000 for 10x12 pergola. I bought from both and built my own as well. Hope to see you respond to this message soon. Hope you have a truly wonderful and extremely blessed day.

    What size breaker are those on the left side that leads to the batteries

      125 amp breaker for battery, they came with inverter in box.
