- Today we are discussing the the EG4 3000 watt inverter in parallel with 4 inverters for a total output of 12,000 watts. We show you how to connect the 4 inverters in parallel using the communication cables provided with each inverter. You can connect up to 5000 watts to each inverter with up to 500 volt dc solar panel PV input. Need to keep the solar panel PV input less around 18 dc amps. 80 amp total output but 50 amp on each inverter surge to start large loads like our 3 1/2 ton heat pump and then our 4 ton heat pump to air condition and heat our 2450 square foot house. We don’t just cool our house out here in Phoenix AZ, today it was 110 degrees again and we chill it down to 68-72 degrees not worrying about our electricity bill being over $1000 a month. Our electric bill is around $130 a month in summer. We have this off grid system fine tuned to give us the best bang for our buck. We also use the EG4 51.2 volt 100ah 5120wh server rack batteries to run our upstairs heat pump overnight to air condition the house. These inverters come with a 125 amp dc breaker for the battery connection between inverter and battery bank along with positive and negative battery cables, battery to inverter communication cable to see state of charge and percentage of battery left. Along with a few other cables to connect to computer to download firmware updates. You get a wireless dongle to see information of inverter. Large 8x11 user manual with easy to read instructions for installation, programming, troubleshooting, error codes for to tell when something is not correct in installation. Very nice system for under $700 each inverter. I think this system in parallel being able to produce split phase 120/240 volts is the best bang for your buck right now. These units weigh less than 20 lbs each compared to the Growatt 12kw low frequency inverter weighing a staggering 186 lbs. these small power house are a lot more efficient than the Growatt inverters I am using. They only consume 50 watts each inverter at idle compared to Growatt at 150 watts or more at idle. I can run all 4 EG4 inverters during the day to produce 12,000 watts output, then turn 2 off the inverters off at night to just use 100 watts at idle while bringing able to run 240 loads overnight on battery bank. I am amazed that these light weight high frequency inverters can run so much and are the easiest inverters to install and run large loads like central air conditioning. We are an affiliate with Signature Solar, we buy the products from them. When you purchase throughout link, we get a small amount of sale. it helps us to purchase more products to install and review for you the viewers so you can be informed before you buy.

That garage being 78 degrees when it's a 110 degrees outside with all those battery's and inverters running. That's impressive! I am in Fl. and I know how these garages get this time of year. Does keeping the garage cool take pressure off the rest of the house? Your system is really amazing! I like how you showed the wiring to us really quite easy to understand. Most content providers don't do that so thank you!
The garage is below upstairs bedrooms, so keeping it cool , keeps the upstairs cool. There is a 2 foot gap between garage ceiling and upstairs floor for running ductwork for hvac. I insulated my garage door with 2 inch rigid foal insulation and my west wall as well. I had another 12000 btu mini split in garage that was able with that running, got the garage down to 68-70 degrees while 110 out. But I gave that one away. Keeping the garage cool helps with keeping the rest of house cool but I mainly air condition the garage because of the inverters producing heat and when we pull cars in the garage that we’re driving in that 110 degrees heat. That 18,000 btu really does a good job keeping garage cool, I like to run it in the turbo mode. I bought that at Home Depot around 2 years ago. It was in stock at store and they still stock these mini splits. But I found you can buy a 18,000 btu mini split on eBay for about 1/2 the price as Home Depot. As low as $600. That’s an excellent price. Any mini split over 12,000 btu will be 230 volts. But you can get 12,000 btu mini splits in 110 volt option. Thank you for your comment. I do these videos to show how easy it is to do off grid solar. We have over 320 days of sunshine in Phoenix AZ. You have cloudy days in Florida so using mono panels would be preferably over poly solar panels. I just bought 400 watt bifacial solar panels that can go to 500 watts total with backside solar gain. I’m getting around 400 watts per panel consistently. Works so much better on cloudy days compared to poly solar panels. I just bought 9- 365 mono used solar panels for $22 each that have slight frame damage to see how well they will do on my 3000 watt EG4 inverter. 4 of those are actually bifacial solar panels. The 12 used 335 watt mono solar panels are preforming well with 2800 watts on one 3000 watt EG4 off grid inverter. Should be able to get 12,000 watts output here soon, I will be able to try my pool electric heat pump pool heater to cool my pool water when it goes over 89 degrees. That uses 7500 watts or more especially when 110 degrees out. Hope you have a truly wonderful and extremely blessed 2024.
You are obvious well versed in Solar and it shows.ó
Thank you, self taught over last 4 years. Some by trail and error. But a lot of fun along the way.
Who did you order these units from? I ordered mine almost a month ago. I’ve had shipping label created for over a week. Yeah no updated tracking and Solar sovereign is giving me the runaround.
I buy almost all my products from Signature solar in Texas, links in the description in my videos. I buy used solar panels from Santan Sloar in Gilbert AZ. The mono used solar panels are a better deal signature solars orders are usually delivered within 5-10 days and always have tracking numbers you can actually track. Outstanding customer service at every level.
@@diy-solar-guy strange because Solar sovereign is affiliated with signature Solar however I’ve been getting the complete runaround. Finally got an email today from signature saying that they will look into it Monday.
@@jglassman1122 might want to buy from Signature solar directly in Sulphur Springs Texas. Why go through a middle man and wait forever for your order. Never had a problem with over 40 orders with them.
@@diy-solar-guy I had done my research prior and Review said that they were shipped from signature Solar in signature Solar boxes and the company shows the same address so I thought it was safe said their normal shipping times are 2 to 3 days for in stock items. once I saw they had the memorial day deal with free shipping. It was a no-brainer for me but lesson learned and the bummer is now signature. Solar shows that they’re on pre-order not available till August.
@@jglassman1122 I’m so sorry to hear that. I bought new and refurbished EG4 3000 watt inverters. Refurbished was $250 off regular price with all the parts in box. Hope you order gets to you soon.
