For some reason I thought you were asking about their batteries which have been great and pricing fair. We have yet to install any of the EG4,6000 or 6500. Know several installers that have and they are tough little work horses but not to be compared ( at least today ) to a Sol-Ark. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Have you had any issues with the Sol-Ark 15? We have two different sites where they were not connecting to the grid, only battery and solar. After 3 + weeks of going back and forth they finally admitted a firm ware problem. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thx<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Peter Giroux<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ASAE<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> RE-wrenches <re-wrenches-bounces@lists.re-wrenches.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Bruce Erickson via RE-wrenches<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, January 23, 2023 12:39 PM<br><b>To:</b> RE-wrenches <re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org><br><b>Cc:</b> Bruce Erickson <bruce@mendocinosolar.com><br><b>Subject:</b> [RE-wrenches] Brand X equipment?<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hello All,<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>I have a long time off-grid customer who is ready to upgrade his FX/L-16 system, and I was suggesting Sol-Ark with Ampliphi closed loop. After getting my rough estimate, and being the due-diligence guy that he is, he asked around a bit. Someone who has “some” off-grid experience recommended equipment called EG4. It looks to have most of the features of a Sol-Ark plus offers server-rack Lithium batteries, all for about half the price. Looks like a cheap knock-off to me, and I said so, but promised to ask around.
