- I’m doing different kind and sizes of Solar installation here in Belize.
This solar system I installed with a new model of inverters EG4 has which is the 6000XP built by Luxpower.
Watch the Video and see the full installation along with a little accident and Fun in the Video.

Very nice!
Nice job! Maybe put the batteries up on the wall, just in case. That little slice of paradise is really close to the water!!
Hope your head is healing up and your no longer have any pain! Blessings and Health in the New Year!
thank you so much your the first personthat show installing eg4 inverors.
My pleasure
Great Job!!!
You may want to put on marine grade heat shrink on your DC cables to prevent corrosion over time.
Good point! Thanks for the advice
What about the configuration ? This part is missing on the video
Very nice bro! I am also from Belize! I honestly don't know how I stumbled on your channel but I am happy I did. I also went solar grid tied, but one of my mistakes is not buying from signature solar. I have sungoldpower hybrid inverter charger but its glitchy right now. Manufacturer sent a replacement part, hoping that solves my problem! Cheers!
Welcome on board!
Yes sungold inverter comes from the same manufacturer as the Eg4 6000EX. So probably the same problem. Check if your battery terminal nuts are tightened nicely.
The manufacturer is claiming that they have fixed that problem now, and a new firmware for those inverters.
I am going to take it for granted that you plan on adding more storage to the system later. Hope the inverter works well for you.
Yes, will add 4 more batteries to the system this week
Good luck if you ever need Customer Service.
I recommended a friend use signature solar because they had a good reputation. Turned out to be the worst recommendation I could have given. They proved to me they have the worst customer support ever. Their "chargeverter" almost burned a buddies house down, and then they totally ignored the emails. It turned out to be a faulty solder point for the smoothing capacitors.
So far the customer service is not to bad, however I don’t need their customer service often. I have installed many of the EG4 products!
I live 35 minutes away from Signature and after dealing with them and Current Connected, I prefer shipping costs from Current over Signature's poor service/tech support.
@@dawg2100 Maybe you need to live in another state ;-) I just installed my system in Arizona and their tech named Colt was the best.
@adorabledeplorable1 the state isn't the problem here. It is signature's lack of consistantly qualified employees. You got lucky. There are many more poor experience reviews than ones like yours.
Current Connected is like my Victron equipment, just reliable every time.
Nice work. Are you using both outputs. 120 and 240 v ? What is your main voltage?
It’s a split phase, each leg has 120v. When I use both legs with a double beaker, I have 240v. Just singles breakers at the breaker panel will have 120v.
And yes, I’m using both
your not to turn on pv until the batteries are installed... it can screw the capacitors
what size battery cable you use?
1/0 Gauge from the inverter to the Battery
I just watched this video and see you are not in the States which would make exchanges hard. I would like to live there a while, but I know it will never happen.
Yes, I live in Belize. A lot of Americans make it happen to live in Belize.
Nice solar module installation but next time, I would highly recommend using a low frequency, transformer based inverter instead of that lightweight, low surge, high frequency, transformerless inverter. High frequency inverters have a shorter life expectancy than low frequency inverter and they also offer a poorer surge capacity.The reason for this is that all these high frequency inverters lack a very critical component. That critical component is an iron core, copper wound output transformer. Without an output transformer to act as a buffer to absorb electrical surges provided by the “Flywheel Effect” inherent in the physical amount of a transformer’s iron, these surges and damaging reverse voltage spikes must be handled directly by the inverter’s MOSFET transistors, essential shortening their life. You might be able to start and run some high surge loads when these solar generators are new, but every time you fire up that inductive load, you're shortening the life of the MOSFETs in your solar generator's inverter. You may be able to start and run some of these loads when your high frequency solar generator is new, but every time you power up and power down an inductive load, you're shortening the life of the MOSFETs and capacitors in a high frequency inverter.
They also run much hotter than low frequency, transformer-based inverters which makes the low cost, off spec, Chinese made components such as capacitors, diodes, MOSFETs, resistors and ICs that are used in these cheap inverters, far more prone to early failure. Another major consideration with these high frequency, transformer free solar generators is safety. All it takes is for the AC output circuitry to fail and one of their MOSFETs or IGBTs to short to ground in the H-Bridge and a high frequency inverter can send dangerous, high voltage, high amperage DC current straight to your connected AC loads which will not only damage most AC appliances but can also set those AC appliances on fire.
Another major consideration that is never mentioned by the majority of the paid TH-cam product hucksters, is that the vast majority of these solar generators are non-repairable. After the warranty runs out, you're not going to be able to ship a high frequency inverter back to the manufacturer in China and have them repair the unit. At a typical shop rate of $125 per hour in the US, with no schematic and limited parts availability, it makes no economic sense to even attempt to repair one of these units. Once the FETs have fried and have taken a good portion of the inverter's PCB with it, (And trust me, sooner rather than later, they will fry.) they basically become a brick.
A far better alternative is to invest a little more money and purchase a low frequency, transformer based inverter charger. Low frequency transformer based inverters last far, far longer and can easily power high surge loads without being damaged. That's why the big name brand inverter manufacturers like Schneider Electric, Outback Power, Sigineer Power, Magnum Energy, Victron and others, all use a low frequency topology in their offerings. I know this to be true because I've spent the last 23 years repairing inverters. High frequency solar generators/inverters simply don't last when powering inductive loads.
Thanks for your explanation.
This customer will run the inverter to between 10-25% of its capacity in general. No large inductive loads, I have been working with quite a few inverters too.
The downside of the low frequency inverter is that it consumes a lot of power for itself. Most low frequency inverters are simply not very efficient.
You post this all over the TH-cam. Most of us in the solar industry know this. It’s common knowledge. Most people don’t want to lift 120+ pounds of inverter. Besides, that’s what soft starters are made for. If you need a low, frequency inverter, I’m sure you will buy one. Your choice.
@@USA-GreedyMenOfNoIntegrity How much does it cost to ship a LF inverter back for repair $500.
I don’t ship inverters back to repair, I just have them fix at a local electrician that knows how to fix inverters, if an inverter fails (which is so far only one) it’s usually a mosfet, you can order them on eBay by the number it has marked on the side and simply replace them.
@@davidharder8357 Electricians don't know anything about inverter DC electronics repair. They don't have the necessary test instruments or tools to properly repair inverters. Electrician are only trained to deal with AC electrical issues.
What batteries do you have?
Please contact me of WhatsApp pre email for purchasing inquiry or product details. Thanks
@@davidharder8357 you want people to pay you tell tell them what kind of batteries you have? Ooooook buddy. 😂
Incell 48v 100ah 😅
@@davidharder8357how many do you run ?
@@Thegoat1998 most I have done so far is 18 batteries on one system
I thought the max voltage was 480
Yes, my tester tested 263v dc, so it is very safe.
So do you get 480 volts on each side?@@davidharder8357
Maybe for two inverters together
