I also have two MPP Solar inverters of the same model. Your installation video series on TH-cam is the most detailed and extremely helpful. I have a question: is the ground wire only connected to the electrical panel and not to a grounding rod? When using a 240V outlet to charge a Tesla, does it still show a missing ground connection? Does it require a ground-neutral bonding plug? Thank you!
I have not tested my system yet with an EV. I've been trying to get a fiend to come over to test it. I do know the tesla charger, and many others look for a ground neutral bond.. so if you keep bonding screws in the inverters installed as they come from the factory, it should be fine. It just wants to see a proper ground even if it's not grounded to earth. I do not have mine grounded to earth at the moment.. only to the sub panel. Yes, you would aquire grounding if connected to your house ground via the AC input. IF you use grid input.. If there is no grid input, you should have the panel grounded separately to earth, but the system will still work without. I just have not gotten around to hooking up my grid input... which would in turn give me a path to earth via my house ground.. hope this helps.. lmk
Yes you can. I make mention of that at the end 9:30 of this video. BTW I think that unit has a programmable neutral bond and uses something called common neutral. th-cam.com/video/D_KLSrsMI3E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FQdJCY7OyIaAcwGj
No. The eg4 6000xp I mentioned at the end of the video can do 120/240 in a single unit. Link in description.. if that's what you mean.. do you need 2 units or will one work.. with these you need 2. Eg4 6000xp just 1. They are both stackable
@RVwithDD oh yes. They have to be able to communicate. Not all inverters do. Most all in one type do. Eg4 mpp grow watt .dye etc.. See video: th-cam.com/video/D_KLSrsMI3E/w-d-xo.html
I wanted to have a main disconnect breaker. Also, if I add another pair of inverters for parallel output, I could just add another breaker . Besides that, 2x #4 may be too large for the lugs, but mostly, I wanted a main disconnect.
If it's just straight 240v, then it's not possible to get 120v . My inverters are 120v to start, and I use 2 of them to get 240v . You might be able to use a step-down transformer, but I have never used one myself.
Great job, thanks
💪❤️🙏awesome

Hey great video. I bought a eg4 6000xp it is also split phase. Can i get 240 volts off one inverter or do i need to buy another one?
Yes you can. I make mention of that at the end 9:30 of this video. BTW I think that unit has a programmable neutral bond and uses something called common neutral.

Wee. Great information. Busbars.
I want to know what equipment i need to power a heated chicken coop. 🎉🎉
What will you use to heat it..
Do the inverters have to be stackable to do this?
No. The eg4 6000xp I mentioned at the end of the video can do 120/240 in a single unit. Link in description.. if that's what you mean.. do you need 2 units or will one work.. with these you need 2. Eg4 6000xp just 1. They are both stackable
@@natesdiysolarYou mentioned the inverter on the left and the inverter on the right. I thought that meant they had to be stackable to do it that way.

Why didn't you use the main lugs? I don't get it.

I have a European inverter 3kva 24v dc to 240 vac but my 240 vac is 240 on line one 0 on line 2 how do i convert to 120 on both lines?
If it's just straight 240v, then it's not possible to get 120v . My inverters are 120v to start, and I use 2 of them to get 240v . You might be able to use a step-down transformer, but I have never used one myself.
@@natesdiysolar ok thanks man I got a step down inverter but it has a us 120v plug I'm not sure how to connect it
so these inverters are 120 v each so you need 2 inverters to make it 220v
Correct. Check out the eg4 6000xp if you need 120 240 in one box
