I have been using the 2kw unit with the limiter sensors for about 9 months now with my grid tie solar system with good results. My limit sensors or monitoring the 220volt 200amp input to my main power box. My grid power is only applying power to the compressor of my central air. (Three AC units one 2 ton & two 1 ton) and to charge my solar batteries below 45 volts. I am using two EG4 6500ex and one EG4 6000ex inverters and 105kw of lithium batteries in my system with 20kw of PV. I have notice a big difference in grid usage since using my Sun Series inverter with the limiters. I am about to connect another Sun inverter in parallel with the other to increase power handling capabilities to about 4000 watts. The limiters is just an inductive pickup to measure the current flow just like a clamp meter. The Sun inverters is feeding a higher voltage to your grid tie (breakers) when a load is present. (Current will flow from the higher voltage source). To check measure your grid voltage with a load and without the Sun inverter on them Turn your Sun inverter on them measure your grid voltage again it should be higher (3 to 5v) approximately. Also my power output from my Sun inverters to my main power box is thru a dual circuit breaker 20 amps.

Thanks for the great advice. I'm thrilled to hear that the project is going so well. Your confidence has definitely boosted mine 👍

[@AdamDeLay07]

Never would have thought to use something like that for just a dedicated appliance. Interesting though. Thanks!

[@Roll2Videos]

Yeah, I was looking at the 1000W, but I don't have an easy path to my main panel and the garage. So, I thought of another way to use a grid tie and came up with the AC unit.

[@mikerussell5454]

Been looking at these units for awhile.. Keep coming to the same conclusion. Likely not going to pay for itself. Fun to experiment with. I look forward to seeing your final setup.

[@Roll2Videos]

That's the kicker. It will probably break down before the payoff period.

[@mikerussell5454]

@@Roll2Videos I have read about lots of these only lasting a few years.. I still would like to play with one. For the educational value. More expensive for me as I don't have batteries kicking around. I would also have to buy some 48V batteries.... If I do that I would be tempted to go Solark some batteries and the Ultra Low Overt night Time of Use rate plan that Ontario Hydro offers. Charge batteries overnight and shave usage during the day to as close to zero as possible.

Great explanation! This might the exact thing my parents in law are looking for!

Thanks 😁

Used 4 of these for three years. One did go bad and have not been able to fix. Took the out of service and bought A Sol-ark 15K.

Nice, My dream is to get an EG4 18kpv.

Excellent work, sir, I’m a big fan of yours, continue doing good work, we appreciate it.

[@Roll2Videos]

Thank you very much! 👍

[@Alex300zxTT]

Great video, any updates on this yet? Also the relay setup?

[@Roll2Videos]

Thanks. There are no updates. I may not hook this up. We are bidding on a different home. The new house will get a whole other large setup. 🤞

[@Brun18ette]

Have you ever had any issues with these units giving a arc fault? I have the 1000watt version hooked up to a 48v battery and recently it failed showing an arc failure.

[@Roll2Videos]

I haven't put my inverter into production yet. If i have any issues I will fire up the camera

[@pr5991]

You can buy wifi switch and supply the ac power from that switch to make it controllable remotely, that is how I did.

[@Roll2Videos]

I ordered one. The one I ordered will monitor the power usage, too 😁

[@Alex300zxTT]

Which one did you get? How’s it still working?

[@MoaningGit]

I have 3 of these units, 1 has done over 2 mega watt, its just passed breaking even

Thank you for sharing; I look forward to using mine in the summer

[@johngrimley3523]

Interesting :)

[@lawrencebongomin6304]

I have one like this. It works for a few minutes then it turns off grid power from the house. What could be the problem?

[@Roll2Videos]

I'm not sure I'll let you know if I have the same problem

[@paulbarrette2557]

Always passed on these things... scared that the sensor would become defective and then unit would push too much power. Probably just me.

[@Roll2Videos]

I will be keeping a close eye on mine.

[@paulbarrette2557]

@@Roll2Videos What happens if you disconnect it? (Simulate a failure) Does the unit simply stop? That would be a good scenario

[@Roll2Videos]

@paulbarrette2557 Yes, it will stop; I showed this during the video by unplugging the AC output wire and discussing a grid-down scenario.

[@paulbarrette2557]

@@Roll2Videos Sorry, I should have been more precise... I meant: 'What happens if you disconnect the sensor?'

[@simon359]

I guess I really don’t see the benefit of this item, as it would be better just to get a real inverter! Definitely don’t like the fact that you have to set the setting quickly in order to have it not feed into the grid?

[@Roll2Videos]

A regular inverter is for running the load independently. This grid-tie inverter is to off set the load. I didn't like the couple of seconds pushing 2k into the grid It seems like the limiter selection should have been default.

[@mikerussell5454]

@@Roll2Videos Likely not pushing the full 2k back into the grid. It would be offset by everything else in your house. If your house at the time was less then 2k then the excess would go back to the grid. My house baselines around 2k draw, all the phantom draws, servers, small garage heater etc....

[@Roll2Videos]

@mikerussell5454 On my Eyedro monitor, I was -1.4k

[@mikerussell5454]

@@Roll2Videos Nice that you were able to capture it. I have the Emporia Installed. Great system. My understanding with Ontario hydro (Not sure who you are with) is that they bill you for energy that you backfeed as if it were a usage unless you are on a solar plan.

[@Roll2Videos]

@mikerussell5454 I'm pretty sure if they saw a backfeed, someone would show up at my house wondering what the H is going on.
