Update: The TUV listing was the same certification that the LV6548 had to begin with. So it is not special in that regard. And passing inspection may prove difficult. Check out what I recommend on using this inverter safely here: www.mobile-solarpower.com/48v-complete-system-blueprint.html
If you wish to permit and pass inspection, check out this page: www.mobile-solarpower.com/code-compliant-48v-offgrid-system.html
They did not tell me about this inverter till a few days ago. It is $300 cheaper than other LV6548's, and has more features. So it will probably sell out soon. I am building a full system with these units right now that is code compliant. I will be making a dedicated blueprint on my website for this unit!
Just found out that the five year warranty only applies if you buy their batteries with it.

AND......can't believe you didn't comment on this.......you can fit conduit into the inverter holes for the connections! You didn't like those oblong ones. Now you got the goods!!!
@@tsp2jxd Oh yes exactly! Finally someone listened. Took years!
@@WillProwse Will you be using the DeWalt rack? I would love to see how you will wire up the system and make it look nice using those (or similar) Racks.
@@WillProwse Hey Will. What about the issue with power on the neutral or bonding of ground and neutral? I'm living off grid in Hawaii and am wanting to upgrade my system. Currently have an older MPP 5000w 240v single phase with a toroidal transformer to achieve split phase power.
@@youngenuf I will be covering this in the next few videos. My original configuration a year ago will actually work fine because the ground conductors are short and protected. There will be current on ground and that's ok. Sounds crazy but installers will be using that configuration and it will pass inspection
Will, you may not realize it, but you provide a great service to us all. MFGs are working much harder to get it right because of your comments.
I totally agree
Ha hahahha
@@KINGTHEBEAST I know right I'm so stupid I bought some stuff before I found will I found will about 3 days ago and I realized I made the wrong purchase big time his videos are so great
We have been off the grid for 5 years. In northern canada. I only buy stuff that will approved or showed us.
He is the only one i trust regarding solar systems.
Reminds me of building sound systems back in the 70's. Every month a better tuner, amp , turntable, etc. would come out.
And back then, there were two schools of thought. Buy a complete matched system or get the best of each component. I see the same thing here in solar. You can buy a complete kit from a company like MPP, or you can buy the best of each component. Pros and cons on both sides.
yup except for me it's my growatts that will collect dust lol
I need serious help, I just bought 2 growatts and a gyl battery and I have no idea what I am doing. And looking at this comment, and being a teenager of the 70s I know exactly what you mean about stereo equipment
Lol, yep and had to have the loudest systems, in 85 i had an older Telefunken amp that cranked out 750 watts, added 2 Bose 601on the floor , and two 901s hung in corners, the party always ended up at my house, now we want more watts of energy in a whole new way
All of this equipment will be obsolete in a decade just like the giant receivers of the 1970’s. It will still work great but smaller higher power systems and batteries will come along. I’m still clinging to my McIntosh and JBL 14” woofers with horn tweeters in giant bass ported speaker boxes!
I’ve been in the solar industry for close to a decade now and I still catch myself watching your great pv videos. Very fun stuff!
Been watching you for about a year and your the best on TH-cam by far. Great info, no BS and accurate. Thank you!!
You are a really good salesman.I purchased two of these and a pallet of (27) 390 watt panels, batteries are next.I'll bet Signature Solar is getting a lot of business from your followers.Thanks for educating us!
Been watching for about 3 years, been fun to watch the evolution of everything
Thank you so much for everything Will.
I’ve lived off grid in a camper for 7 years now. I’m finally getting a house put in soon. Planning to stay off grid.
Im so close to ordering my inverters and batteries. I was gonna do EG4 48v server rack batteries. Maybe I’ll do this inverter as well. The 500v input is nice compared to the sun gold equivalent. Although I am attracted to the higher surge wattage and the 20sec surge length of the sun gold.
Just a little more research to go before I make my purchase. Thanks again Will. You’re a legend and a hero.
Just an update: I am getting this inverter as well as 2x EG4 5kw batteries!! The company I am having design my system said he asked some sources about the quality of inverter and heard back some good things!!
Please let me know how you go in the future , I’m in Colombia, building a small countryside house
You're right 500 is great the sun gold only has 390 with their new version. Is this one👉 500 on each side. Two arrays. Sungold can do two arrays ..can this one also and is it 500 per side. It's too late now I already bought the sun gold..
It's going to be okay I'll make it I'm only staying 120 output for now I'm not going 240. I should but I'm not going to I don't need it yet
I'm already received my two batteries and looks like my inverter should be here in a week. Thanks to you and your videos I'll be turning a two horse trailer into an off grid solar power station for my property.
These appear to be what most solar enthusiasts are looking for a single solution 120V or combined 240V home solar controller. Totally reasonable price for the specs. I really like the EG4 product line. It is stacking up to be huge contender for an all in one solution. I’ll be watching the short and long term reviews with high interest. Thanks for the video Will.
I agree. That eg4 system is great.
Your enthusiasm is addictive my friend! Been a while nice to watch you again.
I’m so happy you stay true to your content love watching renewable energy videos
Wow .! As always I so appreciate that you have the interest in sharing not just the what(s) and the how(s) but the "what Not to do(s)" so to speak....thamk you ...!
I bought a 48v waterproof battery and charger a month ago and everything works just as advertised! Signature Solar is quality!
Looking forward to a future video showing split phase with batteries and solar connected. Also testing the full load and surge capability for AC compressor starting. Very exciting to have UL listing now.
Yet another excellent, enthusiastic video, Will! Thank you!
Always learn when you post. Keep up the great work!
Sick technology. No shortage of great new stuff. Always fun to watch Will go through these units with every detail. Just so you know Will, in his video last week Bob Wells said "Will is The Man" ☺.
He did?! Aww that's awesome 😁
Will, it’s so cute how excited you get when you are talking batteries 😂
I saw the Signature Solar video about 5 min after they released it. I was about to order 2 MPP 6548's ... BUT ... I ordered 2 of these instead. When I first started looking a few weeks ago I almost got 6 of the server rack batteries ...But got convinced to just build my own for 3x the capacity at about the same price.
I also ordered 12 more 330w panels as well (to go with my existing 12 panels ... for a total of 8 kw now). Gonna be busy this summer building it all. This is for a completely off grid remote site.
How's your system working out for you Roy? What type of panels did you order? 8kw's... nice!
Any update on how your liking it?
Pretty sweet, man things have come so far in the last few years!
Just ordered one using your link. Everything in my home is electric except my fuel oil furnace but with the cost of fuel oil now I may have to heat with electric. I will have to buy all the components a little at a time with a limited income. So I have the inverter next is the batteries and solar panels probably used after the inverter is paid off. Thanks for all your info. Keep up the great work.
If you have space and can do it - heat pumps are a very efficient way to heat your house. And modern heat pumps work down to -22F / -30C.. more than twice as efficient as pure electric heaters.
@@jrherita that is how I was going to go. I was going to either heat pump or Mini Split.
Oh yes that is one beautiful unit! I love how these are all evolving over the years it’s awesome. Thanks for the review
I am new to understanding solar power systems. Your information is great . Thanks
Love these units! THIS is what I want! Great Video! LOl, that Comms cable is now being used by you ! I'm sure the firmware and the FET differences are related. I'm out in Palm Desert, Ca - sunny all day - every day! I saw you with a RVCA shirt... Hey Neighbor!
I ordered the EG4 (3000W) just this AM. After watching this I changed my order. I hope it comes with cables like the 3000.
This is amazing. Exactly what I've been looking for
I am so excited about this model! Thank you for another great video
this inverter (pair of them actually), plus their no-screen batteries, combined with the heavy duty rack you posted in another video, is pretty much how I want to roll out the off-grid power for my future home.
I appreciate you posting this
Will, I remember you saying in a video you did, you could not wait til EG4 came out with an all in one that rival the LV6548. When I saw this video, not sure how I missed it, being subscribed and all, regardless, I have been waiting to see what you would cover. As always, great video, great info.
Yessssss, I've been waiting for this sucker! Let's gooOOO!!!
This EG4 unit is a beauty, nice review!!!
That's nice wish they would do a 4024 I have there batteries with my outback and midnight controller's works awesome I have 30 more panels too put up.... Keep it up brother
Its nice that quality control didn't screw up, and send you a broken one again.
Just ordered two, thanks for the heads up.
Now THIS is a nice unit!! I've been waiting for someone to really nail this combination!!
Thanks Will!!
Great work man! I may see what the return is like and just get two of these rather than 4 of the other ones
Thank you 😃. As always very helpful content .
Yay! You are going to setup split phase, can't wait.
Looks fantastic. That 5 year warranty can't be beat. Awesome!!!
its a 3 year warranty on the unit, if you buy the batter you have a 2 year additional warranty (a total of 5, but you must buy the battery)
@@michaelcohen9363 That still beats MPP solar's 1 year warranty or 2 year extended warranty. Thanks for the additional info. Cheers
@@whoguy4231 as always, do your own research because I'm just parroting what I've quickly read!
I WAS going to buy an LV6548 but now I'm buying this instead!
Looks like great system, might b right up my alley. Looking for a good standby backup when per goes down
So cool man. You really know your stuff. Thanks for all the info.
Great information, love solar
Thank you! Your videos are so appreciated!
The battery communications is typically CAN bus. It's just CAT5 cable. Only two of the 8 wires are used. CAN high and CAN low.
Well said Will! I have tried using the software from MPP Solar and have found it to be not user-friendly. I am a firm believer in the Kiss method ( Keep it simple stupid).
Def getting this as an upgrade in the future
Hi Will, your such a brilliant guy and I watch your videos all the time. I just wish you could or would recommend some of these all in one or other products that can be used in a Marine environment.
Have a Great Day and Stay Safe ‼️
Hey Will, great video. I've watched many of your videos which got me started on a solar adventure. I purchased the 6500EX-48 and EG4 battery, it's working great so far. 2 questions: 1) How do you turn off the "beep" when using the display buttons? 2) In one of your videos you discussed having trouble getting the WatchPower app to work properly. I am having troubling getting my unit to connect. I registered and following the instructions was able to successfully configure the WiFi (received 4 green steps) per the app, but my device reports "offline" and not able to connect. What did you end up doing to get yours to work? Thank you sir.
Great video thanks again Will. For your next split phase output video can you please go through all the settings for the e.g. 4 batteries. Also can you explain how to wire the input line in for split phase so both inverters can have line in power
Just when I think I’ve finally settled on what system I want to use, Will changes my mind…again… Thanks Will!
Matt from the build show made me rethink how I am going to fix my house lol 😂
I think ‘listed’ is the key. That’s the game changer for me. Just need to convince the mrs to pull the trigger. I figure you’re in it for $1300 + $1300 for a 48v battery + $1400 in panels + $1000 in racks and stuff is $5000 for a good start. Anyone doing the same math?
@@eperotti1 you forgot the inverters. $1300 each.
Unless you meant 1 inverter and 1 battery.
I really like this setup.
I wonder if the grounding relays are similar as far as neutral ground bonding and the confusion with the LV 65-48. Super awesome unit, so disappointed already bought two lv6548
All very informative may solar it when I move to Florida.
Great video, really appreciate them. Ever looked at the Aptera Electric car, very interested in your opinion.
Well this makes it simple and cheap. You can use 2 inverters and the cheaper eg4 batteries and still have access to all the information via the inverter interfaces. No need to spend extra on the batteries.
I assume these can be run in grid tie without batteries as a starting point which allows you to focus on the solar side then add back up capacity as you can afford it.
Nope, they are not grid tie inverter, but can be run without battery (not recommend anyway, too much stress for the hardware) if not in parallel mode. If you look for something more flexible to start with in a grid tie configuration with no battery, look for deye hybride inverter.
Will your video's are so helpful!!! I am on the fence between building an EG4 system and going with the new Ecoflow 15kw power kit. Would love your thoughts on cost comparison. The only main difference I am seeing is the 15kw limit (without the smart panel) and the 4800w soler power input on the ecoflow. Much appreciated!!
And here I am with an Aims 24v 4000w, 12000w surge in entertainment that cost me $1700 last fall. Cannot wait to see what they have in 5 years when we upgrade the house a bit more.
You are pretty resourceful. Thank you so much for the good job. Can you please recommend a good combination for a sophisticated home soley powered by solar both during the winter and summer?
Can’t thank you enough! I was on the list for the 6500ex but continued to be BO. I noticed the new 6000ex 240v split phase was in stock and they gladly exchanged. When will you have a chance to review the new model? Look forward to it and fingers crossed that I made a good decision. Specs on both will work for me.
How would these hold up to deep well pumps/pressure pumps and large a/c units?
Proust, you are a champion.
Oh sweet!!! I'm so gonna upgrade to that
great video !!...thanks for the info !!
You may not care....but the data logging features are great for optimizing the PV system layout and tracking drains or overall system performance. May not need it all the time, but when its used it helps give a full picture of what is going on.
I'm considering these for powering a single subpanel for a hybrid on/off grid setup. All of the loads on this panel are reasonable except for a 30A 240v breaker for a big miller 210 welder I have in the garage. How well do these inverters tolerate funky loads like welding?
We have finally been looking to figure out how is the best way to do Solar for our needs on our Rv we don’t have a lot of space with the layout and of course budget and it seems that between the eg4 racks and all in one would be our best options. Would love to pick your brain or one just like it one day to confirm my research.
Excellent Will
Awesome post brother ✨😎🤙🏽✨ may consider buy this …
For communication cables you would likely have to use a crossover cable instead to get communications going if you are not connecting either unit to a router or switch.
Ja, was my thoughts too
Wow got an email from Signature Solar and it said Thanks for being the first to grab the new EG4 6.5kW Off-Grid Inverter. Could you leave us a review? I left a small review but really cannot about its performance as I need panels and batteries first. Hopefully with in a month or two I will have it up and running.
Thank you so much 😊
Good info thanks.
Wow! Cheaper than any other version of that 6548 Voltronic core that I have seen *and* UL listed!? This is *the* budget inverter to get if you don't live anywhere but the middle of nowhere.
Hello Will, I hope you can help me out. I’m getting ready to build a small cabin in western Tennessee and I’m wanting to get an EG4 system and wanted to know what you recommend for the minimum amount of batteries I should use. The cabin will be 800 square feet and my main usage will be lights , Tv and a mini split me cool unit. Thanks so much for all the info you provide to help us all.I forgot to mention it will be a 48 volt system and completely off grid. all Lp gas appliances.o
Good video. Thanks. I'm a little confused about your "Don't use different firmware" advice. Does the manufacturer also claim they are incompatible or is this just from your experience?
I asked them recently. They said the 3kW version will be UL listed soon too! Wish they had a 3kW 24V UL listed system too.
Would love to see some split phase testing with an auto transformer. Looking for a good inverter to charge my wife Tesla. Thanks for all you do Will!
Hello from Sacramento CA. This is more what I am looking for. Grid tied/stand alone for my home. I have a 1970 airstream and can put 1600w of panels on it with about 900 to 1300w power feed to the batteries. My needs so far with just two batteries charger from cord and truck alternator last for over 7 days use. But want to add a mini split 240v hvac system and want to use my trailer to add power to my home when not camping why have it sit idle and help pay for it self. 😀
Also, from Sac, in Citrus Heights now. Just bought Solyndra tubes to make a solar carport with :)
Bro you’re a master!
I would like to see in new system -
specifically which lugs in each inverter are attached to which locations in the breaker box.
Where you create the ground neutral bond.
If the ground bond screw to neutral inside of the inverter needs to be removed like in the lv6548
Do you not use L2 in Master B, and not use L1 in Master A, for split phase?
Is there a nice iphone app to check each inverter and battery remotely
Do these system have to phone home to china to work, or can it connect to a local server if necessary at all, but still be able to check info w iphone???
thx
This is so good!!! Thanks!!
I'd love to have a server rack inverter system like this to go with server rack batteries....
I just watched this again....wondering what you load the CD into now...
Need to install this at my house thanks
Thanks Will. 🤜🤛 from Wales U.K.
Will, do you happen to know if its ok to mount the batteries EG4-LL or similiar to the wall if I hang them by the rack ears? I also wanted to know how I can calculate the run time of a system based on the max load of this inverter? For instance, how many of the EG4 100ah 48v batteries will I need to sustain a full load for 4 hours?
Hoping to see this company come out with something that will take more than 550Vdc on multiple string MPPT controllers. As I recall, their internal control software has a good variation of what you can do in a hybrid mode configuration. I DO like how they've gotten some decently price battery packs and inverter/chargers so they're on my "short list" along with Victron if I can ever afford to go off-grid.
Under what conditions can residential voltage be over 600 volts?
@@jeffwhite3021 I haven't looked into it that much, but if/when we build it would be someplace with relaxed codes if you're off-grid. Idaho, W.Virginia or Texas are near the top of the list.
Edit: At a guess it would be if the property was a working farm or semi-commercial enterprise that needs 3-phase power. The HV battery assemblies I've seen are definitely more commercially oriented, as are devices like the Sol-Ark 30k or 60k inverter chargers. The main reason _I_ would like to see string voltage capabilities over 550VDC is to have both a bit of a "cushion" for open circuit conditions as well as the ability to run _slightly_ lower gauge wire from the array(s) to the inverter/charger/charge controller. Also, this higher voltage would NOT be running into the house. It would go to either a dedicated power house or to a power/well pump house.
So Will if I understand what you're saying correctly It takes 2 of these 6,500s to do a split pay system?
I would like to personally thank you for all of the help and knowledge that you share with everyone I really appreciate it because I'm having trouble putting my head around this
I would like to see you do a video about Using battery communications to the charge controller vs using voltage readings under load to determine State of Charge. Also would like to know how to run a home A/C unit is a soft start needed? LF vs HF for this application. I think the easy way to get your feet wet is to just put in a offgrid system to take the HVAC system off the grid wiring is easy. Starting is hard so I read LF is the best. I have a LXV6048 and 15kw battery and I am having issues with 3 Ton Heat Pump 15a 240v I guess I need 30kwh battery
What is max that can be paralleled?
Which lugs do you use when paralleling?
When paralleling and inverters are out of phase, how do you connect to grid as backup power. Does the change in inverter phase, also change how to wire to grid???
Hi will, any chance you were able to make a video walkthrough of the 6500ex on settings? The manual is NOT good at mentioning error codes like 61 for example. I'd like to actually read about before messing with buttons I don't understand. I DON'T want to damage a $1,300 device.
Hi. You mentioned this system can easily be used in an RV in your videos. I agree. However, I have this issue. The solar input range starts at 90V. Most solar panels are at 36V and the dimensions make it hard to fit on the roof to get 90V. Will the inverter work at a lower voltage than 90V?
QUESTION: Is the G bonded with the N lug in this unit, like the original 6548 units?
If yes can it be un-bonded, by removing screw?
Hello, amazing content - does this unit work with other batteries such as the Jakiper 48v batteries you have recommended in the past? Thankyou
Many thanks for the useful reviews. Can you go into detail on LiFePO4 battery settings from the unit and/or phone app? 👍
Nice video! I would like to see a comparison of identical 5bb panels vs 9bb panels. Just to see if the 9bb are worth the extra money.
I would like to know if this would work well for an inductive load like a well pump. From the specs, it would appear to work. But it doesn’t have a beefy transformer and that makes me question it…
Please focus on an RV install! 😀 Looking at an all-in-one for a 50A RV - at the moment, talking myself into split phase. This unit however looks pretty cool - I suppose I could just break the output into two legs and "dogbone" it - but interested in a best practices opinion. Love the videos! Thank you for doing these!
I 100% agree. I'd love to see one of these setup in an RV.
