Description

The EG4 18kPV All-In-One Hybrid Solar Inverter

This innovative hybrid inverter combines the functionality of a grid-tied and off-grid system while eliminating the need for charge controllers or transformers. Additionally, the EG4 18kPV Inverter is ETL & cETL certified and complies with national and international standards for safety and reliability when connected to the grid.

Flexible Power Solutions

Utilize solar power directly, battery storage, and grid power simultaneously to power your home with up to 12,000W of uninterrupted, continuous output. And in case of a power outage, the EG4 18kPV Inverter can be used as a backup power system without solar.

User-Friendly Interface

The EG4 18kPV Inverter has a user-friendly interface with an LCD display that offers user-configurable and easy-accessible button operation, including battery charging current, AC/Solar charger priority, and acceptable input voltage based on different applications.

All-In-One

Designed to provide everything you need to get started, this inverter offers a simple plug-and-play installation process and streamlined inverter management. It also has the ability to handle power from both energy storage systems and the grid simultaneously. The EG4 18kPV operates on a 120/240V split phase, accommodating a wide range of power requirements. Plus, its outdoor-rated design guarantees durability (avoid direct sunlight exposure).

Answer:

Yes, you would just need to wire it directly to the MPPTs.

Question:

I am interest in the EG4 18kPV | 48V 12kW All-in-One Hybrid Inverter and wanted to find out if the inverter will work hooked to grid power and solar panels only? No batteries; they would be added later in the process. Please let me know.ThanksRay

Answer:

Yes! The EG4 18kPV does not require batteries in order to function. They can be added at a later time.

Question:

When I’m grid tied selling excess power back to the utility and I lose utility power, without any batteries attached, can the inverter power my home circuits?

Answer:

Yes and no, if there is PV available then yes it could still power your home, but if there is no solar then it cannot.

Question:

With a complete system panels battery and this inverter can I send power back to the grid?

Answer:

With the correct permitting and agreement with your power company yes, this inverter is capable of grid feedback.

Question:

to check with you: each of the 3 PV inputs can handle 600V?

Answer:

Yes, each of MPPTs can handle the 600V. That being said EG4 has said that is a hard limit, meaning anymore voltage will cause damage.

Question:

I have PV AC solar system with AP microinverter. The AP microinverters need external power. Will that work in off-grid mode? How is EG4 18kPV wired with PV AC so that external power is provided also in of off-grid mode? Thanks.
johann.posch

Answer:

The 18kPV takes any AC coupled systems and has it wired into the generator port. This port is what allows it to also keep the frequency and phase of the grid to the microinverters. In order for it to work in off-grid mode, it needs batteries to show that there is power that will keep the microinverters running.
