I think I asked you this before, do you have a Canadian Distributor affiliate link?
@Young Boss TV But why would you want that ? They don't make an inverter like that , and I'm guessing its because there's really no sensible reason to do so. But If you really want two battery banks , You could simply buy a Blue sea e-series battery switch ! That will give you the option to switch from battery bank 1 or bank 2 , And you can even switch to battery bank 1 and bank 2 at the same time . I have these switches in my system , But not for that configuration . There a heavy duty switch , and there $60 bucks a piece ! Hope this helps.
Warning on Jackery solar generators. The 12 volt outlet has no politary protection and should you do it? Your 12 volt outlet will no longer work.
@Young Boss TV I don't understand what you are saying. You don't use an inverter to charge batteries.
@@stevelamperta865 an old battery jumper has a nice switch on it which can be mounted.
And those famous words “you’re adults, you’ll figure it out” when doing something ‘unsafe’. Love it!
Perfect! 13:22
Hey Brett! Love this guy Will
:) the fun is not blowing something while doing these temporary configurations...
its just electrical what could go wrong 🤣🤣👌👌
@@abdulali8738 Stick your finger in a hot light socket in a puddle of water, and you get to meet him.
2 of those units, 6 of their batteries and 10 kw of solar for $16k - that’s an amazing price tag for energy independence.
Turning this field into a plug and play playground is the real gem.
And 1156kwh of standby consumption per year... In the end it's probably better to invest a bit more but save some of that energy
All day and twice on Sunday!
@@tiloalo Just turn off the inverter or add $200 of panels to offset the idle consumption. We have discussed this factor for years now in previous videos. It is still cheaper than buying an inverter that costs $4000 more.
@@tiloalo Wouldn't it be 578kwh of standby consumption per year?
In no universe is it more economical to spend nearly $5000 more on the hyper low standby consumption units versus throwing up another $250 in solar generating capacity to offset it entirely.
It's great that Mr. Prowse reviewed this unit. I have been keeping my eye out for a unit in this price point range. But, I would never buy it because of the phone app. I recently got a cooking thermometer which had an app that required an account, permissions to everything on my phone and my location. I know this is the direction many manufacturers are going but I will never buy another item which requires an app that needs intrusive access to my phone, location, and home network.
Well, I am on your side but you are already providing those information to the Google, Samsung, etc. when you buy an Android phone and turn it on the first time, or they want you to return the phone, if you don't agree with their user license.
I imagine that is so you get the warranty. You used to send in a card, doing the sign up with the app installation streamlines the process.
@@majid_us Most likely yeah, but it's absurd. Big companies are bad enough but why should random (mostly Chinese) companies get to use and sell your data as well?
@@cmquinn2000 How can you be so nieve? Please keep thinking that way and everything will alright.
I agree. 500% I should not have to establish an account, Provide personal info, to get whatever I bought to work. I just send it back.
although i keep running into your videos, i subscribed cuz i love how well you break everything down in your reviews, thanks so much for making getting into solar/battery banks so easy!
I just discovered your channel while surf/shopping some amazon products.
I really enjoy your presentation and shared knowledge - you have a very pleasant and calming cadence. It's a joy to sit and listen to you talk about a subject I find very intimidating, but necessary to learn in these uncertain times.
I am an absolute noob when it comes to this stuff, but I think I will end up spending lot's of time watching your back catalogue, so I can better myself. (And save some ca$h on power bills!)
The Milk Crate Kit looks great, and I can't wait to try it - should be perfect for my apartment needs.
Thank you, have a great day dude! 👍👍
I love how this guy breaks down in detail, amazing channel.
@@abdulali8738 Jesus loves you.
So says our solar Guru!! Thank you for putting the confidence in all of us who are learning from you :) I enjoy your videos.
Great information, so much simpler than having 3 or 4 different products together for solar, thanks for the videos
This fellow always presents really good and timely information. He is a prime example of the phrase 'he is a strong will'.
Allah, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
1. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
2. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
3. The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
4. Master of the Day of Judgment.
5. It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help.
6. Guide us to the straight path.
7. The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided.
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
1. Alif, Lam, Meem.
2. Allah, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal.
3. He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel.
4. Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected Allah’s signs will have a severe punishment. Allah is Mighty, Able to take revenge.
5. Nothing is hidden from Allah, on earth or in the heaven.
6. It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise.
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
1. Say, “He is Allah, the One.
2. Allah, the Absolute.
3. He begets not, nor was He begotten.
4. And there is none comparable to Him.”
28. It is He who sent His Messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, to make it prevail over all religions. Allah suffices as Witness.
29. Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Those with him are stern against the disbelievers, yet compassionate amongst themselves. You see them kneeling, prostrating, seeking blessings from Allah and approval. Their marks are on their faces from the effects of prostration. Such is their description in the Torah, and their description in the Gospel: like a plant that sprouts, becomes strong, grows thick, and rests on its stem, impressing the farmers. Through them He enrages the disbelievers. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do good deeds forgiveness and a great reward.
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
1. Abundance distracts you.
2. Until you visit the graveyards.
3. Indeed, you will know.
4. Certainly, you will know.
5. If you knew with knowledge of certainty.
6. You would see the Inferno.
7. Then you will see it with the eye of certainty.
8. Then, on that Day, you will be questioned about the Bliss.
28. How can you deny Allah, when you were dead and He gave you life, then He will put you to death, then He will bring you to life, then to Him you will be returned?
29. It is He who created for you everything on earth, then turned to the heaven, and made them seven heavens. And He is aware of all things.
30. When your Lord said to the angels, “I am placing a successor on earth.” They said, “Will You place in it someone who will cause corruption in it and shed blood, while we declare Your praises and sanctify You?” He said, “I know what you do not know.”
31. And He taught Adam the names, all of them; then he presented them to the angels, and said, “Tell Me the names of these, if you are sincere.”
32. They said, “Glory be to You! We have no knowledge except what You have taught us. It is you who are the Knowledgeable, the Wise.”
33. He said, “O Adam, tell them their names.” And when he told them their names, He said, “Did I not tell you that I know the secrets of the heavens and the earth, and that I know what you reveal and what you conceal?”
34. And We said to the angels, “Bow down to Adam.” They bowed down, except for Satan. He refused, was arrogant, and was one of the disbelievers.
35. We said, “O Adam, inhabit the Garden, you and your spouse, and eat from it freely as you please, but do not approach this tree, lest you become wrongdoers.”
36. But Satan caused them to slip from it, and caused them to depart the state they were in. We said, “Go down, some of you enemies of one another. And you will have residence on earth, and enjoyment for a while.”
37. Then Adam received words from his Lord, so He relented towards him. He is the Relenting, the Merciful.
38. We said, “Go down from it, all of you. Yet whenever guidance comes to you from Me, then whoever follows My guidance-they have nothing to fear, nor shall they grieve.
39. But as for those who disbelieve and reject Our signs-these are the inmates of the Fire-wherein they will remain forever.”
40. O Children of Israel! Remember My blessings which I bestowed upon you, and fulfill your pledge to Me, and I will fulfill My pledge to you, and fear Me.
41. And believe in what I revealed, confirming what is with you; and do not be the first to deny it; and do not exchange My revelations for a small price; and be conscious of Me.
42. And do not mix truth with falsehood, and do not conceal the truth while you know.
43. And attend to your prayers, and practice regular charity, and kneel with those who kneel.
46. And before that, the people of Noah. They were immoral people.
47. We constructed the universe with power, and We are expanding it.
48. And the earth-We spread it out-How well We prepared it!
49. We created all things in pairs, so that you may reflect and ponder.
50. “So flee towards Allah. I am to you from Him a clear warner.”
51. “And do not set up any other god with Allah. I am to you from Him a clear warner.”
52. Likewise, no messenger came to those before them, but they said, “A sorcerer or a madman.”
53. Did they recommend it to one another? In fact, they are rebellious people.
54. So turn away from them; you are not to blame.
55. And remind, for the reminder benefits the believers.
56. I did not create the jinn and the humans except to worship Me.
57. I need no livelihood from them, nor do I need them to feed Me.
58. Allah is the Provider, the One with Power, the Strong.
59. Those who do wrong will have their turn, like the turn of their counterparts, so let them not rush Me.
60. So woe to those who disbelieve because of that Day of theirs which they are promised.
35. Or were they created out of nothing? Or are they the creators?
36. Or did they create the heavens and the earth? In fact, they are not certain.

Excellent 411 vid, looking into this to test and use with my 5th wheel. Work it all out then transfer to the cabin we're building. Everytime I figure out what I want something new and better hits the screen. Industry is upgrading constantly.
I love the energy of your videos, concise information on the very latest technology. Now I need to upgrade to 500 volt wiring!
Great job Will. I really love your videos like this one. Keep up the great work!
8:32 “if you are using a large battery bank”
That is amazing! Thank you Will for all you do. I am getting ready to purchase all my parts. I calculated that I will need a 7.5kWh System because it is a 750sf house and I NEED to run a mini-split. I figured that I would need 5 -300W panels. I followed your link and it looks like I would need two EG4 units and now it looks like the two EG4-All in one will work. Overall, I believe the little house should be okay with 5kWh but I wanted to plan for rainy days in SoCal. I would appreciate yours or any other subscriber's comments. Thanks again!
I don’t know if you bought your panels already, but Signature has 575 watt bifacial panels ( Will reviewed them since your comment) for $262 each now. And the battery and hybrid inverter in this video is the best bang for your buck I’ve found after EXTENSIVE searching. Good luck!
As always , Great video . Keep up the good work . A lot of us learn a great deal from your help. Thank you.
How much fun it must be to do what you want. From where you have came from to where you are now what a miracle. Work and perseverance.
8:45 that's flipping smart. I'm sure building packs from scratch might be cheaper, but it's hard to argue against the simplicity of a bms and inverter that work together like this.
Will you are a solar genius. I would love to see some videos on how to hook solar up to your homes existing wiring.
This guy is good with his solar. If you have to ask this, you will want to get the advice of an electrician. That topic is not his strong suit.
When I get my RV and get ready to travel to Mexico I’ll be doing this upgrade for sure. I love how it’s a combined kit vs installing all the parts separately.
Your channel is the best for DIY. You cover everything in greater details and demonstration. I liked your video and appreciaate your sharing. Keep up the good sharing. Thank you again.
You are the wizard of the electric info..! Thanks Will...
Awesome. Getting close to simple, practical, compact DIY for a small homeowner as a tandem to or backup from grid. Would love to see you demonstrate a system such as this, with multiple rack batteries, outputting through to a manual transfer switch. I'd use it as a guide for sure. Even if giving up 240v loads, like hot water heater/ dryer for simplicity made it more attainable.
Looking at the documentation, it can be stacked for 240.
@@arthurhammeke8296 Yes, stacking two for 240v was mentioned in the video. Also the complication of a hot ground when doing so. (Some internal screw to be removed.) Until a specific video of that configuration gets posted, and how to get both 120v and 240v out of that system is explained, I personally would not attempt to DIY it. But yes, for the cost of an additional unit, I'd go for it if feasible to DIY. Or would also perhaps hire a pro to insure safety. Not sure if a regular residential electrician would know the particulars of such an install. Maybe need a solar specialist. Main point is, size, reliability, cost are becoming attainable for many, which is exciting.
@@abdulali8738 Doesn't your Islamic pagan moon god forbid modern technology?
@@abdulali8738 LMFAO :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D too funny... take that religion somewhere else bud
@@abdulali8738 Your Quran is the book of satan as evidenced by: It says that 1: a mans first sexual experience should be with an adult man. (pedophile) 2: A girls first sexual experience should be before her first period. 3: It says that muslims are to kill the children of christians. So, if your allah is so great, why would he want the innocense of children desecrated? Answer: Islam is a political plan that masquerades and cowers as a "religion" You have fallen prey to satan. Jesus Christ is THE way, THE truth, and THE life. NO one comes to the father but by him. Read the actual word of God, the Bible.
way to go.....for my limited level of expertise the presentation was thorough and understandable
I have no idea how l got here but l stayed to watch just because I love how excited you get.
Love that you've taken the time to look at and compare idle consumption. Thanks!

Planning on buying two of these to produce 240v 2 phase power. Thank you for the informative video!
I've watched a lot of Will's videos. He does this all day long and his excitement at 15:31 was beyond adorable. You're doing what you love, kid. What a life.
I'm an old guy but this has become so simple even I could do it, my god I wish I was younger
why? dont old people use electricity?
@@PazLeBon no, it's that I dont have enough time in my life to make it financially sound. Try not to be such a smart ass.

Your production values are so much better than in your earlier videos.
Good review.
You are way ahead of me in understanding solar and you do a great job at explaining the concepts even to idiots like me.
Thank you.
Hey Will, love the review. Would love a second video on this model. Just got two of them to run in parallel. Putting 2200W of PV into it with 10K of battery. RV life!
Declan, you implement it into RV, how did it go... looking at doing the same for my G.D. Momentum 29G. Lighter and quieter than 6548 or 6000EX. Due to electric heating, I'm adding the needed 50amp split phase service. Wouldn't mind chatting with you/the group on this.
I would definitely not get 2 of these for an rv… the idle consumption will be crazy. Why not single phase?
Love the idea of seeing you or product engineers sharing manufacturing processes!!!
Hopefully this zero COVID lockdown in China will clear and allow the world to settle back to "normal".
As always thank you for sharing Will ☺️👍

30. When your Lord said to the angels, “I am placing a successor on earth.” They said, “Will You place in it someone who will cause corruption in it and shed blood, while we declare Your praises and sanctify You?” He said, “I know what you do not know.”
31. And He taught Adam the names, all of them; then he presented them to the angels, and said, “Tell Me the names of these, if you are sincere.”
32. They said, “Glory be to You! We have no knowledge except what You have taught us. It is you who are the Knowledgeable, the Wise.”
33. He said, “O Adam, tell them their names.” And when he told them their names, He said, “Did I not tell you that I know the secrets of the heavens and the earth, and that I know what you reveal and what you conceal?”
34. And We said to the angels, “Bow down to Adam.” They bowed down, except for Satan. He refused, was arrogant, and was one of the disbelievers.
35. We said, “O Adam, inhabit the Garden, you and your spouse, and eat from it freely as you please, but do not approach this tree, lest you become wrongdoers.”
36. But Satan caused them to slip from it, and caused them to depart the state they were in. We said, “Go down, some of you enemies of one another. And you will have residence on earth, and enjoyment for a while.”
37. Then Adam received words from his Lord, so He relented towards him. He is the Relenting, the Merciful.
38. We said, “Go down from it, all of you. Yet whenever guidance comes to you from Me, then whoever follows My guidance-they have nothing to fear, nor shall they grieve.
39. But as for those who disbelieve and reject Our signs-these are the inmates of the Fire-wherein they will remain forever.”
40. O Children of Israel! Remember My blessings which I bestowed upon you, and fulfill your pledge to Me, and I will fulfill My pledge to you, and fear Me.
41. And believe in what I revealed, confirming what is with you; and do not be the first to deny it; and do not exchange My revelations for a small price; and be conscious of Me.
42. And do not mix truth with falsehood, and do not conceal the truth while you know.
43. And attend to your prayers, and practice regular charity, and kneel with those who kneel.
46. And before that, the people of Noah. They were immoral people.
47. We constructed the universe with power, and We are expanding it.
48. And the earth-We spread it out-How well We prepared it!
49. We created all things in pairs, so that you may reflect and ponder.
50. “So flee towards Allah. I am to you from Him a clear warner.”
51. “And do not set up any other god with Allah. I am to you from Him a clear warner.”
52. Likewise, no messenger came to those before them, but they said, “A sorcerer or a madman.”
53. Did they recommend it to one another? In fact, they are rebellious people.
54. So turn away from them; you are not to blame.

58. Allah is the Provider, the One with Power, the Strong.
59. Those who do wrong will have their turn, like the turn of their counterparts, so let them not rush Me.
60. So woe to those who disbelieve because of that Day of theirs which they are promised.
35. Or were they created out of nothing? Or are they the creators?

Great content, keep it coming.We appreciate it!
What a video!! I think the info was so high voltage it literally fried my brain :)
That seems like a nice little unit :) The battery that you showed is nice too. I was thinking of going with those $500 24v 2.56Kwh pre-assembled battery packs that they sell (which you featured in one of your previous videos,) but these server rack batteries really are handy. They are more expensive than the aforementioned packs, but not by a ton. 10Kwh from 2 of these server rack batteries would be $3000 + tax. You can get 10Kwh from 4 of the DIY batteries that they sell, for a total of $2000 + tax. But, you have to add a $100 BMS to each one, so that's another $400 right there. Plus, you have to add a circuit breaker to each one, and some wiring. You will also not have the capability for the units to communicate with each other, which is nice.

Great content 👌 really informative
Maybe you can do another one with this inverter and go more in depth about the solar input and sizing the aray. I know you're a busy guy but I'd like to see you do something like that for those of us new to solar
When I build my cabin this is the channel that will show the way.
I'm new to this stuff. Like REALLY new. Your videos are very well crafted and I feel like I am learning.
This technology has really exploded in the last year or so. I spent more to have less building with separate components about 18 months ago, but I don't regret the learning experience.
Same here. Although I feel that mine is safer when connected to the main panel.
I did the same thing. Server rack LiFepo4 systems have made DYI almost obsolete.
I honestly think these server racks use smaller cells. So you trade the convince with less storage 16s DIY will yield 3 times the capacity of these. So yea I will still with my diy for now
@@veryinteresting591 dad and the price taking on some of the higherend units that do low frequency I can handle up to 25 thousand kilowatts

I started my solar adventures as a know nothing.....
Thanks to will, I installed my modest solar system myself complete with shunt and monitor. 600w on the roof and 2 strings of 200w each on the ground in the form of easy-to-stow (caution) flexible (freestanding frame) panels. These are deployed only on extremely coudy consecutive days. All charging 3-100ah l-ions.
We are in our RV for ten months a year for the last ten years. Our batts rarely drop below 80%. We want for nothing. Ice maker, micro, 4-5 hours of tv, etc. No AC however.....
We adjust for temperature by location. Been in AZ all winter. Love life! Heading to Oregon (Mt Hood area)for the summer. Our home is in St George Utah.
Thanks Will!
This is incredible. If I was starting my system over, this is absolutely the way I'd go.

@@abdulali8738 Allah was a limited Moon god polytheistic Arabs worshipped before Muhammad started claiming it was the only god hence the reason why the Crescent moon symbol is popular for Islamists... many Arabs know this fact about Allah but apparently you don't. And all these humanoid gods from mythologies to monotheism are in truth humanoid aliens who ruled over and enslaved mankind. So if you wish to continue to praise in your limited Moon god do so, but the truth is that Allah is not the infinite creator of all things.

Great job, you always give a great presentation.
I love "This is NOT SAFE" LOL. At least you taped the plug terminals so you are not completely nuts.
Noticed the tape as well…I hear they now have these things called “electrical boxes” that hold your outlets in a safe way, but that’s just a rumor.
I'm a technical writer, so I think almost everything should come with a usable user manual. Something like a PDF file that you can download works, but it's nice to have printed documentation right there.
Of course more documentation keeps tech writers employed, so I have some bias on this subject. :)
Personally, I think we need technical writers MORE than EVER... because technology is NOT getting simpler or more user-friendly. Instead, it's sucking up more of our limited time trying to make it all work, and often being forced to try and figure it out on our own, often without adequate documentation to help with troubleshooting. Now, if only the manufacturers would take some responsibility for increasingly and blithely foisting their technical glitches onto the poor consumers of their products -- and at the very least, provide more and better documentation with their products -- then technical writers would be in even greater demand. IMHO 😒
@@livingitup9647 You've got that right. Things are getting more complicated, so we need to avoid every bit of unnecessary complication. Tech writers can help spot unnecessary complication if they're allowed to be part of the design process.
I read more technical writings for work than any other literature. A good technical document can make a job easy while a bad one is just wasted paper.
I'm a shade tree mechanic in my spare time and love old Toyota service manuals. Great layout, Step by step troubleshooting, parts testing methods. I wish more technical manuals copied automotive service manuals.
@J Bennett My personal preference will always be paper manuals :) It's so much nicer to have a folder/clipboard mounted to something, and have full size sheets to look at. In the case of a permanent installation, like a large battery bank, you can also laminate them, to make them last longer. Nothing worse than scrolling through pages on your phone, looking at a tiny screen. It's even more frustrating, when you are working on a car, and your hands are covered in grease. You either have to keep cleaning them over and over, or you have to wear and waste a lot of disposable gloves. When it comes to paper manuals, I don't care about getting grease on the individual pages, so long as it doesn't obscure the text and pictures.
@@crazyfvck I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who sees value in a printed manual. Or in clipboards.

Thanks much Will, as usual thorough & informative. As to the idle consumption debate, here in the mountains with no flat ground adding a few extra panels is not easy. Despite the consumption, the price & ease of use is compelling and I'll order one today.
Please let us know how it does!
As always, nice review and checkout Will. Seems like a good low cost inverter (or even battery charger) for the price. Huge fail on the neutral / ground bond for connecting 2 of these in series for split phase 120/240V. Like Signature Solar's prior 'US' Growatt, they need to fix this. Unsafe as supplied if connected in series, and with no grounding hookup in the documentation, an extra additional fail.
Thank you for that info.
Why is this bad? Aren't houses neutral and ground bonded? Wouldn't this just match up to the house system?

Great video Will. Is there a way to automatically divert solar to an immersion water heater once the battery is full?
When you wiggle and pull on conductors to see if they are properly connected, you MUST re tighten the lug(terminal). I learned this 1st year in my ibew 569 electrical apprenticeship.

Thank you Will for another great video.
The size of this box could make it work with a Dewalt tough chest for a mobile generator. Just throw this and the battery in the tools chest and you are good to go! I might have to try this!
That's what I was thinking! Is that possible?
Hey Will, does it look like it's possible to unbind the neutral and ground pretty easily? I can't tell from pausing the video during the tear down.
Of all the vids of yours I have watched this by far is my favorite. reason why, rapid fire facts.
Geez, they make it so easy for people to understand.
Great video for an interesting product. A question, do you need to connect solar from the charge controller to the batteries or can you connect directly to the existing RV fuse box?
Great review Will, but I was hoping you were going to say this unit would be good for an RV. Would there be issues with proper grounding?
Thanks that was very interesting. You have a great weekend. Michael

Check out his video called "Beginner And Budget Friendly DIY Solar Power System! Anyone can build this!" Really easy system to build
Hi Will, I have been really enjoying your videos about these all-in-one systems. Do you think an all-in-one type would be alright to use on a boat? space and weight on boats is usually always something to consider but I am wondering what your thoughts would be about them handing a marine environment. Thanks and keep up the good work!
These combo units would be great in a boat. Without these you'd need 3 times the mounting/wiring space. Since these are designed for a dry home/cabin/shed environment you'd want to carefully select a protected location. Of course, as a mariner,, it's light and small enough to carry a spare backup unit.
"Why do I need an account?"
Because the real money in tech is people's personal data.

Will, could you explain the difference between this unit and the Victron Multiplus II? And could you use this asan RV grid hybrid, as long as you'd not be utilizing grid feedback features? Thanks for the videos!
I'd like to know the answer to this as well. I'm in the RV market now, and plan to go full solar within a month of the purchase.
Thanks for making these videos, not much info out there for us newbies.
Love these videos Will.
FYI, I have that Growatt and the wifi dongle / app is worse than this EG4 from what I can tell in this video.
Also, an interesting parameter that many don't talk about is the solar input voltage cuttoff. The charger will turn off after a while if there is no light, which saves about 30W (50%) of the total idle consumption. But there is no way to adjust the cuttoff and I have found that even parking under a street light will cause the charger to remain on throughout the night, therefore wasting ~300Wh throughout the night. I am fixing this by adding additional hardware to cuttoff the solar input when the voltage is low. (please let me know if I'm missing something and if you'd recommend another way)
How is the growatt app worse? Please describe. Thanks!
@@gtbrown001 TLDR: The growatt uses an app called ShinePhone that feels outsourced and distanced from the engineers that made the Growatt inverter.
First, I wrote that the dongle / app is worse. The experience I had setting it up was not good. Instruction was generally hard to find, especially for the PC app. Also, there's 2 wifi dongles to add to confusion. Second, the app changed a while back so that it is now ShinePhone, so I had to set things up again. Third, it requires constant internet access for data logging (which is probably the same for the EG4). Fourth, I can see that Will had so many options to monitor on the app, that is not the case the ShinePhone app.
Your comments about the idle wattage and the solar low voltage are amazing, I didn’t know that was a thing (cutting off the MPPT charger and saving idle consumption with low PV voltage).
Do you know of any other ways to minimize this idle consumption? The 1.2+ kWh per day might actually be the largest drain on my battery bank and I’d like to avoid addressing that by just buying more batteries.
@@bmxican1023 Ya, I thought it was the right move to buy a large all-in-one like to this so that I could power anything, but the idle consumption ended up being a bigger deal than I anticipated. To make matters worse, I can't use the eco mode on the growatt because the wattage threshold to turn on (from eco-mode) is (I think) ~100W, and my fridge only pulls 90W (500W for about 0.5 seconds at startup. which makes an LED on the growatt come on, but then it turns off, lol.)
So what I've done is I bought a smaller 500W inverter to run my AC fridge and other small AC loads, and I keep the Growatt output toggled off unless I'm gonna cook etc (which, in combination with the solar input toggle, makes the idle consumption at night 0W). Since the 500W inverter is smaller, I can run it on eco mode, so it consumes 2W while idle (and, bonus, it's DC-AC efficiency is better for running my fridge).
TBH, the low PV voltage cutoff should have been a setting the user could define. The charge controller basically stays on until the sun is completely set!
I'd like to see a grid-tie style of inverter that plugs directly into a 240v dryer outlet for a utility room. I suppose I could build one myself, but it would nice to have a plug and play type of system.
I'm hoping to be able to unplug my trailer and plug into off grid system one day..
240v is dead. Buy 120v and go smaller

Hello, I would like a system that combines solar with wind turbines. Perhaps you could consider producing a video explaining the requirements of such a system.
I am curious if the GRID connection can be utilized to do this? The Turbine would be input and if any output it should go to the Resistor to bleed-off the excess electricity generation - any ideas ?
Thanks Will, bought one!
I installed one on my RV. Life saver
Hey Will - Thanks for the videos! Can this unit switch from Utility to Battery fast enough to function like a UPS? I remember your older video in the RV when you tested this with another inverter but I wonder if this unit (and maybe a GroWatt) could also provide the same function? I see they have a setting in the manual that allows you to set utility as the main power source under setting 01 - Utility Priority. I would love to see a video testing that as I just ordered my first batteries from batteryhookup using your code (thanks!) to build my own pack. I am going to be getting panels soon so I wanted to see if I could just skip the charger and go straight to the inverter. My plan is to use these batteries in place of my lead acid UPS batteries for now as the internal charger failed in the rackmount UPS. If you already know if this is possible then feel free to respond, no need for a video :)
Oh nevermind - I found the switching time in the manual. 10ms typical (UPS). :)
And for reference, APC cites the following transfer times for their rackmount SmartUPS series: 6 ms typical : 10 ms maximum

You see them kneeling, prostrating, seeking blessings from Allah and approval. Their marks are on their faces from the effects of prostration. Such is their description in the Torah, and their description in the Gospel: like a plant that sprouts, becomes strong, grows thick, and rests on its stem, impressing the farmers. Through them He enrages the disbelievers. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do good deeds forgiveness and a great reward.

29. It is He who created for you everything on earth, then turned to the heaven, and made them seven heavens. And He is aware of all things.
30. When your Lord said to the angels, “I am placing a successor on earth.” They said, “Will You place in it someone who will cause corruption in it and shed blood, while we declare Your praises and sanctify You?” He said, “I know what you do not know.”
31. And He taught Adam the names, all of them; then he presented them to the angels, and said, “Tell Me the names of these, if you are sincere.”
32. They said, “Glory be to You! We have no knowledge except what You have taught us. It is you who are the Knowledgeable, the Wise.”
33. He said, “O Adam, tell them their names.” And when he told them their names, He said, “Did I not tell you that I know the secrets of the heavens and the earth, and that I know what you reveal and what you conceal?”
34. And We said to the angels, “Bow down to Adam.” They bowed down, except for Satan. He refused, was arrogant, and was one of the disbelievers.
35. We said, “O Adam, inhabit the Garden, you and your spouse, and eat from it freely as you please, but do not approach this tree, lest you become wrongdoers.”
36. But Satan caused them to slip from it, and caused them to depart the state they were in. We said, “Go down, some of you enemies of one another. And you will have residence on earth, and enjoyment for a while.”
37. Then Adam received words from his Lord, so He relented towards him. He is the Relenting, the Merciful.
38. We said, “Go down from it, all of you. Yet whenever guidance comes to you from Me, then whoever follows My guidance-they have nothing to fear, nor shall they grieve.
39. But as for those who disbelieve and reject Our signs-these are the inmates of the Fire-wherein they will remain forever.”
40. O Children of Israel! Remember My blessings which I bestowed upon you, and fulfill your pledge to Me, and I will fulfill My pledge to you, and fear Me.
41. And believe in what I revealed, confirming what is with you; and do not be the first to deny it; and do not exchange My revelations for a small price; and be conscious of Me.
42. And do not mix truth with falsehood, and do not conceal the truth while you know.
43. And attend to your prayers, and practice regular charity, and kneel with those who kneel.
46. And before that, the people of Noah. They were immoral people.
47. We constructed the universe with power, and We are expanding it.
48. And the earth-We spread it out-How well We prepared it!
49. We created all things in pairs, so that you may reflect and ponder.
50. “So flee towards Allah. I am to you from Him a clear warner.”
51. “And do not set up any other god with Allah. I am to you from Him a clear warner.”
52. Likewise, no messenger came to those before them, but they said, “A sorcerer or a madman.”
53. Did they recommend it to one another? In fact, they are rebellious people.
54. So turn away from them; you are not to blame.
55. And remind, for the reminder benefits the believers.
56. I did not create the jinn and the humans except to worship Me.
57. I need no livelihood from them, nor do I need them to feed Me.
58. Allah is the Provider, the One with Power, the Strong.
59. Those who do wrong will have their turn, like the turn of their counterparts, so let them not rush Me.
60. So woe to those who disbelieve because of that Day of theirs which they are promised.
35. Or were they created out of nothing? Or are they the creators?
36. Or did they create the heavens and the earth? In fact, they are not certain.

How much RF interference does it generate? Especially on HF frequencies. I wish you could take 15 seconds and place an AM radio close to the unit when it is working and let everyone hear it.
I listen to AM and shortwave radio and even my Bluetti running a fan destroys any ability to use radios, even FM with one fan yards away, and I have a small battery charger that does the same.
@@baneverything5580 I've tested a bunch of inverters (both sine and modified sine). I'm convinced that there is not an inverter made that allows AM or shortwave unless your radio is at least 100 feet away from the inverter and the house wiring. And forget filtering, it doesn't work. Been there, done that.

I get a kick out of how you spend nearly all day to produce a twenty minute video. Thanks.
You nailed it, I am down to deciding between this and the Growatt.
The website says it's an offgrid inverter but on the app on your phone it showed it as a hybrid inverter. It would be nice to use 2 of these as a hybrid inverter backup in the house capable of feeding energy to the grid.
Edit: I called support and it says it has a passthrough for grid power but is not hybrid so doesn't do sell back. It will keep you powered when the grid goes down though so it doesn't behave like a grid-tie which is nice. Where I live you can have non UL listed inverters as long as there is a visible cutoff switch which is easy to do.
This unit uses the grid voltage (as input) to charge batteries or even feed loads, like a UPS. A grid-tie needs to synchronize its AC output to grid before connecting to the grid and selling back (or really bad things electrically would happen, lol).
"We should open it" like he needs an excuse.
Great and useul review Will. My old Iconica Hybrid 5.5 PV Inverter gave-up the ghost on the DC side and a short was created, back in February and was only running on solar and grid no battery . So I replaced it with 2 x Growatt SPF 5000 ES and since they've been running with plenty of sun recently I've been able to make the comparison. I have to say the Growatt Inverters are inferior. My old Iconica Inverter tracked the grids frequency, which here in the UK over January was going up and down from 30Hz to 50z. The Iconia was able to match the frequency so allowing a smooth transition from battery to grid and back again every time without any interruption to the load, unlike the Growatt which has to purse to switch the load from battery to grid. However the Iconica did seem to leak voltage onto the ground as much as 2000v but only in milliamps, not sure if this was the precursor to the DC failure though. Plus the Iconica could charge my battery using an hour and minutes timer, whereas the Growatt only does this in hours no minutes. Our window to get cheap grid energy here in the UK is from 12:30 to 4:30 so we've lost an hour due to is timer they use.
Fantastic Wow 100 points EXCITING
What they have done with this all-in-one is nice. It looks to be very beginner friendly and that's a good thing, not everyone of a tech geek.
The price doesn't seem to be bad for what you are getting.
It would be interesting to see how well this would work with a used 48 volt forklift battery.
I'm no Tech Geek when it comes to this stuff.
If you can get ahold of a used forklift battery for cheap, they are an excellent choice for home power storage.
Lead acid is different though. It wants to be fully charged. You need to have enough solar power to keep it at 54v during the day, and for equalising charge at 57v now and then. If you leave it at a low state of charge, it will sulfate and degrade, then eventually die.
@@thelight3112 I know two places that recycle/rebuild forklift batteries. 24 and 36 volt are the most common voltage batteries they have in stock. The 48 volt don't last long in stock long, may look at a pair of 24 volt units. I wonder if anyone makes a 72 volt inverter and change controller?
I'm an old school gearhead from when lead acid was all you have to work with.
I have that setup on a 24v system
They keep making these all-in-one units in 48 Volts only. Makes it really hard for people with Campers and Rvs to use. That’s one thing I would like to have, but instead I have to have different parts for an inverter, a charger, and MPPT. Would be great to have a 12 Volt model.
They have 12 volt all in one's.
@@supermo26 do you have a link?
Just need to add a converter between eg4 and your 12v battery or switch to a 48v lifepo battery and put the converter between your battery and the 12v fuse block. Converter costs between $15 and $60 depending on your amp requirements.
@@toolegittoquit789 MPP Solar 1012 is all in one 12 volt 120 voltAC 1000 watts (about 9 Amps)
To quote Doc in Back to the Future, this is it! This is the system I'm getting starting with one inverter & upgrading to 2 for split phase 240v to run my well pump. Can't wait!
or buy one MPP Solar 6048 and you get 120 & 240 in one unit!
I did. with one 100amp 48 volt EG4 battery i could run a 1/2Hp deep well pump no problem.
@@r.b.l.5841 Thanks for info re: well pump. I guess well pump uses a lot of power on startup? Do you have an estimate how many watts needed/day? With one 5kw EG4 battery, do you have storage left to run other things besides well pump? Thank you!
@@InVinoVeritas. My well pump is 120 volt and the in-rush to start it is about 8 amps max, but only for a few seconds, then drops to 5-6 amps. When I had only one server rack battery as long as i had some loads on the other leg of the 240 panel - even some lights - it started up fine. Now that I have two MPP 6048 and two sever rack batteries it is no problem starting the pump.
6 Amps at 120 is 720 watts (about a Hp) and one server rack battery is about 50v x 100 amps for a total of 5,000 watts peak output. so you will still have a lot of capacity left - the thing to watch is starting motors which always take more amps starting than running.
Thank You for your informative video Good Sir.
Will, on an earlier video, you said that a 48v (vs 24v) system (individual components, at least) was probably too dangerous for a novice. While 48v is probably overkill for a van conversion, would this setup largely negate that risk factor?
Wondering the same thing for a skoolie
Also wondering the same thing for a cargo trailer conversion.
Will, as far as I am aware, the majority of inverters like this are coming from two OEMs in China, which are providing white label inverters to dozens of companies around the globe. The majority are from Voltronic. The smaller company is Deye. You can't buy from either company directly, they're purely B2B.
Doesn't matter if its branded as EG4, MPP, Inverex, or SolarMax. They're all Voltronic with a few choices from Deye.
But MPP are made in Taiwan I believe?
So basically, they're all crap and fail after only 13 months...
Love your videos
