Installation & First Impressions of the EG4 6000XP Inverter

Join me as I embark on a test run of the EG4 6000XP inverter by installing it on my test wall to explore its functionality firsthand. This video captures my initial curiosity to understand how this inverter operates. As I delve into this experiment, I'll share my thoughts and observations along the way, providing valuable insights into the capabilities of the EG4 6000XP. Whether you're considering investing in a similar inverter or simply curious about renewable energy solutions, come along for this hands-on exploration of off-grid technology.
Update: Based on some comments from a commercial electrician (thank you Markus), I'll be removing the portion of the video from 14:32-15:35 regarding using the flex conduit as the "ground". That's no longer allowed by code (it can only be used if "the circuit conductors contained in the conduit are protected by overcurrent devices rated at 20 amperes or less."). A ground wire is required, so I'll be adding that when I make my wire-way modifications.
