Hey Ryan and Sue, hello from Sunny Jamaica (well not so sunny at the moment). My wife and I love your channel and it is interesting as I remembering having some really cool email conversations back almost a decade when the SW e-panel was being developed and I got one of the early release models and backing plate. Glad to see you both are doing well. Truly awesome folks!
Hey Ryan can u run the classics with those DIY inverters ... I would hate to get rid of them but all in one inverter are every were now ...... Good video brother keep it up im glad I found ur channel....
Got two of these 5048 running will be doing testing with them I will be placing a big order for my customer. Epanel is awesome wish they had them out now and really looking forward to the 10K thanks for the awesome video.
I installed my first one of these with an azimuth adjustable pole mount. 6x 415W Canadian Solar bifacials. One eG4 5kW battery. My customers are waking up to no less than 66% SOC. They love it and don’t mind turning their mount to double their instantaneous input amperage! I sure hope it lasts for them. I’m skeptical of overseas stuff but on a budget I think these things are awesome! Midnite support so I’m feeling optimistic.
Debating getting one of these. Only downside is no way to parallel them for 240 split phase. 5000 watts and a HV charge 80 amp Charge controller is a steal. NAWS has it for around 850 after a discount code. Can you parallel the DIY charge controllers? As in they communicate and charge as one.
WHAT'S YOUR OPINION ON THE EG4 6K Off-Grid Split Phase Inverter (All In One Solar Inverter) (6000EX-48HV | 6000W Output | 7500W PV Input | 500V VOC Input | Split Phase 120/240VAC ) MY LIGHT BILL HAS BEEN ON AVERAGE FROM JUNE 2021-2022 WAS $510 AND WE JUST GOT THIS MONTHS AND IT IS $640..... I KNOW THAT OUR HOUSE, DURING NORMAL OPERATIONS, RUNS ABOUT 5-7 KWH PER MONTH AND UNDERSTAND THAT ILL PROBABLY NEED AT LEAST 4 INVERTERS.... HOWEVER, I'M NOT AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER AND THAT'S WHY I'M GREATFUL TO GENTS LIKE YOU THAT SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE.... I'M NOT TOTALLY GREEN WHEN IT COMES TO ELECTRICAL THOUGH, I DO OWN AN HVAC COMPANY & I'M FAMILIAR & COMFORTABLE RUNNING HIGH/LOW VOLTAGE..... ANY ADVICE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED..... I'M TRYING TO GET A SYSTEM THAT IS DEPENDABLE THAT I CAN INSTALL MYSELF.... THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS BUD.
It's an ok inverter if you like difficulty setting parameters, 5 seconds to hit a button or it goes back to the home page. Then it's another 2-30 button presses to get back to where you were at. Do you like talking to an answering machine or customer service? You can also send emails and when that all fails, get Ben and Richard to put out the fires on DIY solar forum. I have Sol-Ark, EG46500ex and MNS products. MNS is right up there with SA on quality, tech support.
I myself like the DIY for the cost but it's hard to beat Schneider when it comes to dependability just cost a good bit more money but you do get 10-year warranty and the customer support is a lot better now
I havent played with one yet, if you are looking to lower the light bill you may want to dig into something grid tied or self consumption, As mentioned below Schneider makes a nice inverter for this

Glad you got in on the SW E-Panel that has been a pretty popular product for sure. Stay tuned we should be doing some interesting solar in Florida

Yes you can add external charge controllers, They will not coordinate with the DIY but that is not really a necessity.

E-Panel should be available in a weekish I believe. May want to bug Midnite

thx much Ryan.
Glad it helped

Do you have a link to the e panel for the MN5048DIY? Only find the one for the 3024?
Have you connected a generator using the dry contact for automatic on/off when using the generator for charging? Thanks
I have not, I would call or email Midnite and ask for Jim Parish
Good to see you. Are those some big new SCC on the wall? Are they in production yet?
Yes those are the new 600c MPPTs from Midnite, They are now for sale in Beta and should be in full production in 4-6 weeks
@@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497 Let me know if you need a Beta tester. I have 28 ea 475W panels available.
I wish they could build E panel for say the EG4 6000 series. That is something those inverters are lacking.
We will be working on making a e-panel for the 6,000 Watt eg4 split phase inverter
I am not sure you will see Midnite make one specifically but you never know
Did you say that you air condition when you are not there wow, why?
We leave it set on 85, Figure it should help keep some of the humidity down in the house
I am not seeing a shunt. Is there provision for a shunt in case one want to install an aftermarket battery monitoring.
Not directly no, I think the logic was the AIO doesnt use a shunt so to keep cost down they didnt add one
@@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497guess you would have to your own metal work then
How is the 5048 holding out for you?
So far so good
