Nice review. I like that it is stackable, and that you can pass AC through it when it loses battery and solar power.

[@imnguyen6658]

Very thorough review. Thanks for the content.

[@GavinStoneDIY]

Nice job on this video.

[@Adrayven]

This is compatible with Solar Assistant, I used it with it. Highly recommend you toss out the dongle that comes with it and just go with SA, it's SO much better of an experience and you can control most of the configuration within SA too.

[@ngk330]

Never heard of solar assistant before, would I have to order a sa specific dongle?

[@bobmonztr]

Perfect size for an RV or small cabin, considering the charge rate 24kw of battery and 9 x 550-watt panels 430 to 460 v. I just checked my solar dealer 6200usd for panels(4950w) and (24kw) batteries, 200 max for wires. Under 8000usd (tax and shipping) for a decent amount of power. These all-in-one inverters have less wires than a stereo to connect. Mine has 17 with 4 pv inputs.

[@masterbond9]

as an electrician, i have no issue with wanting to use the ground to the AC in, as long as they have continuity, i would probably do the same thing myself anyway

[@callmebigpapa]

@5:01 Would it be louder than my stack of 1u and 2u rack servers?

Thanks for doing another video, because I done forget the name if this channel. I gotta try to remember this time.

[@jameyslone2039]

A lot easier to find the channel if you subscribe

[@ShowemRight]

@@jameyslone2039 I am subscribed, I'll see if there's a way I can put my subscribed channels in a category, not even sure if thats possible.

[@harism5589]

This will feed solar power back to grid, in case battery is charged and house usage is much less than solar generated power ?

[@brock2k1]

No, you need what is called a hybrid inverter for that.

[@luismanuelmendoza789]

Can it be used as an UPS??

[@brock2k1]

Depends what you mean. If you have a PC or whatever already getting power from the EG4, and your power company has a blackout, your PC will be fine as long as you still have solar or battery power. But there is no way to have your PC switch from utility power to this if your power goes down. BUT, you can have a your PC plugged into a small UPS good for ten minutes or so on utility power, and if your power goes down, plug the UPS into the EG4 within ten minutes, and your PC will stay up.

[@joemccloskey4402]

This unit has issues. Communication being no.1 hz being no.2

[@xBINARYGODx]

Such a cutie.

[@FandFcustomcarts]

No a good inverter , my burned out in less than a year , I will put a video of what happened and why not to buy from that brand, I'm hoping they are more helpful on the refund but they are giving me a lot of problems to get it on a return from signature solar , will see but stay away from this junk.

[@brock2k1]

There will be a small percentage of duds in any product. This one has a ton of users (I don't know why the video says it's relatively new, it's been out well over a year) and very few complaints.

[@quickquote1568]

Lightweight, high frequency, transformerless inverters are never a good buy, even at $700. The have shorter life expectancies and much poorer surge capacities than low frequency, transformer based inverters. And because high frequency inverters have no transformer and thus no galvanic isolation between their DC boost stage and their AC output, during a catastrophic failure of their H-Bridge circuit where a MOSFET or IGBT shorts to ground, these inverters can pass high amperage DC current to your AC appliances and damage them.

[@brock2k1]

You wouldn't want to run your house on it, but it's a good buy for emergency backup of your PC and fridge if you live in an area prone to power failures.

[@joemaloy5365]

Been running 2 for the whole house, works great.
