  • Can just One-EG4 battery with 2-EG4 3000 watt off grid high frequency inverters start a whole house ducted 3 1/2 ton ac without solar input or will we need solar input. Links below for products in video. We appreciate when you purchase products through the links as we get a small portion of the sale that we use to buy all these products to test out and see what it is possible to run. Hope you enjoy all of our videos. Hope you have a truly wonderful and extremely blessed 2024.

    Great content Greg! We love the video and find it very educational! Cool to see what a couple 3K's and an LL battery can do. Keep up the great work!

      Thanks, I appreciate your comment. I am amazed that these 2 lightweight inverters can start and run a large load. The technology keeps improving so quickly that it makes it easier to set up your own solar off grid system. It is extremely affordable to set up system DIY. I have 2 more EG4 inverters on the way. I will try to connect all 4 to get 6000 watts on each leg for a total of 12,000 watts output. I believe I can get the full 12kw out of 4 inverters. I have 2-12kw Growatt inverters and the most I could get out was 7500 watts. I look forward to testing EG4 inverters. Hope you have a truly wonderful and extremely blessed 2024.

    These inverters are dope

      Yes they are, never seen such a small inverter be able to run such large loads. Gabe changer for me. Hope you have a truly wonderful and blessed 2024.

      That are very powerful for high frequency inverters

    I love these real world tests of solar equipment! Have you ever tried starting the 3.5 ton without the soft start? I was able to start my 2 ton central air unit with the EG4 6000xp (6 LP4 batteries) without a soft start, but don’t know if it could crank up a 3 ton+ without one. Was able to start and run the 2 ton + 1 ton mini-split. My 2 ton had 60 LRA (lock rotor amps) at startup. Curious what the LRA is for your 3.5 ton, since that spike is really the limiting factor for startup. 👍☀️⚡️🤩

      When I was trying to start my 3 1/2 ton ac with the 12kw low frequency Growatt it would not start without a soft start. The inrush amps were 78 amps. That is almost 18,000 watts. The 12kw Growatt can surge to over 36,000 watts and it could not start the ac. I won’t try disconnecting my soft starts with these EG4 3000 watt inverters. I will let someone else try that. I showed you could start a 3 1/2 ton ac with just one battery so you can air conditioner house all day long but won’t be enough battery to get you through the nigh. Still that would save you around 60-70 percent of electricity bill since you are cooling house in the hottest part of the day. I air conditioning my house down to 64-68 degrees in the day and that super cooled my house so when I switched to grid power at night, I used very little electricity. My LRA for 3 1/2 ton is 75.0 and for my 4 ton is 105.5. My 12.7 ton pool heater LRA is 185.0. I can run all 3 with my 12kw Growatt but have I will have to connect 4-EF4 3000 watt inverters to try and start 12.7 ton pool heater. Let me know if you have any other questions.

      @@diy-solar-guy Thanks! I’m always impressed by how much you manage to run with solar. I was kinda shocked the 6000xp would start my 2 ton A/C.

      @@terrahillfarm solar is so much fun to share. It really is pretty easy if you know nothing about off grid solar. I to am amazed at what I can run with solar, now I am working on increasing the output of my inverters. Fine tun ins the solar arrays and getting some new much more efficient solar panels.

    Do you have a Soft start on your 3 1/2 ton ac?

    • @diy-solar-guy
      @diy-solar-guy  Před 2 měsíci

      Yes, a Hyper engineer soft start. Would not be able to start without soft start. Here is a link signaturesolar.com/?ref=diysolarguy
      SmoothStarter soft start for $239. Just type in soft start in search box on link. Hope you have a truly wonderful and blessed week.

    do you have a soft start on those ac units ..... if not you should get one...

      I have a soft start on the 3 1/2 ton, 4 ton ac’s and on the 12.7 ton pool heat pump pool heater. I was unable to start all of these without a soft start. Hope you have a truly wonderful and extremely blessed 2024

    How much was that off brand battery did you buy it from signature solar ?

    • @diy-solar-guy
      @diy-solar-guy  Před měsícem +1

      No, I bought it local, that was the first server rack battery I bought. I bought from Southwest solar supply north of Phoenix.
