I like it. I never knew for sure that you could connect the XP6000 to the grid. I wanted to run a mini-split and have grid to pick up when the battery is below 10%
Great install. You don't need 6 awg on the AC output though. Next time you can save a few bucks and not have to wrestle with big wires. For the Ac output on an EG4 the manual calls for 8awg but really 10awg is perfectly fine because the unit is not capable of producing over 30 amps.. I keep a roll of romex 10/3 on hand for this
Also I noticed you used 10 awg on the PV input, the unit is not capable of accepting 30 amps input it maxes out at 20 amps so you can use 12 awg there. Excellent work regardless
I am planning to use two 6000 XPs in a a parallel configuration and will be combining their input and output connections - so I thought that I would need 6 awg for the individual units and from the combiner box, will use 4 AWG for the main connection. Will it be an overkill?
@@kajavaid Don't even use a combiner box. Run 10 awg straight to the AC panel and combine the inverters at the AC panel. All you need is a dual trip 4 Pole 30 amp breaker.
@@markhudson2997remove line in feed in sub panel and install into grid port of 6000xp. Run load port of 6000xp back to subpanel where u removed the line in feed. Problem solved, no backfeed, ur just limited to 3000w per 120v side of panel, so may need to do some balancing.
A poor man's inverter. High frequency, output transformerless inverters like this offer a shorter life expectancy, a poorer surge capacity, and because they lack an output transformer to provide galvanic isolation between its DC boost stage and its AC output, they pose a potential fire risk when powering a home's AC appliances. No thanks. Not in my home.

One of the best videos - this is exactly what I was planning to replicate for my off grid setup. Thanks for sharing.
Your videos have helped me a lot. You explain them without all the extra unnecessary information making it easy to understand. Thank you!

You can charge from. The grid but not backfeed the grid. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻

That's the off grid electrician special right there been doing it for years
@@elevatedsciencesllc8089 Thanks. I really appreciate your advice.
Nice job with the install and explanation!
Much appreciated 🙏
Nice work on this one, Justin!
Thanks!
great job, concise and on point
Much appreciated!
Great video. Can you tell me the model of that Reliance transfer switch please?
This is a great video! 👍🏼
Much appreciated 🙏
Was watching to find the settings to set for the grid input to start chssrhing batteries when hitting 20% soc
What size wires on l1 l2 did you use
#6 awg for 50amps
No need for the transfer switch. The inverter will seamlessly transfer if the grid connection is present.
You have to use a method to ensure you don’t back feed the grid. The 6000 does not have that built in
