How Many Watts!? EG4 Solar Hybrid Mini Split Ac - Minimum Operating Wattage

This is a video to address some very common questions I get - What's the lowest wattage it can run at? Does it run on cloudy days? Does it need to be reset after it shuts down due to low power? I address all of these questions in this video.

I can't afford one right now, but this explanation is what makes me want to buy one, and I will soon. I am off grid in Jamaica and have a little window unit that does OK with the setup I have, but it does require a lot of manual adjustments for me. I will wait until the SOC is at 100%, usually around 11am, then turn it on. Typically when the day is sunny I can go until 4-5PM and still be 100%, then I either turn it off or make up my mind to run on battery into the night. I think I'll get this EG4 mini split and have it run independent of the system I have now, even if I have to get it's own battery, just so I really can run it without any concern about it pulling from my current setup. A big bonus is how low watts it will run at, in sunny Jamaica I see no problem using this unit.

Very informative video, the first one I have seen demonstrating how low of solar power you can actually run down to. Thanks for making these videos!

[@forester057]

Learned a lot. Thanks

[@ShaneS071]

great informative video, you say it takes about 150-160 watts to restart, did you take note of the voltage at the time of restart

[@ramhammer10-4]

Thank you for that detailed information.

I need to revisit this video at a future date. Thanks for posting.

Awsome presentation, sir 👏

If you have no service at your house keep your phone on airplane mode and it'll get like an extra 1-2 days of battery (still can connect to wifi while in airplane)

I installed a 9k pioneer last summer here in my '28 RV. They are super efficient on power and whisper quiet.. There inverter type mini splits were just coming out but expensive as well. I'm saving to buy some land and go offgrid.. looks like I'll be replacing it. After the fact, I want a 12k upgrade.. so it'll work out.

It would be a great video if you did the same exact test but using the Heat and the power station again LOL

Best explanation video on UA-cam about the EG4 mini splits. 👍👍👍

[@ibenglish]

That’s some very good information on the mini split. Good job explaining things 👍🏻

[@phxBird]

Thanks for the ac limiter setting information.. I’ll start using that option on my second summer using E4 unit to keep my man shed cool in the Arizona summer months as I unplug unit during winter months as the unit warm up man shed nicely during the day to keep in the warmth during the 12 hours of no power from solar during the winter here in Arizona. Nice video!! Thanks 🙏🏻

I hope you get in on the ground level of these hybrid systems! There is a ton of potential and your videos are awesome to help others. I’m contemplating getting their 24k diy unit if it is as good as you say it is. Especially being in Minnesota.

Very interesting video. Thanks, I didn't realize the app had so many features.

[@JohnBaker3000]

Excellent! Great explanation! Thank you.

[@PreppinontheCreek12]

Very good video with lots of info. Thanks for sharing.

[@stacyhackney6100]

Thank you

[@1turf32]

Video thanks for answering those questions now I know. Stay cool
