Description
EG4 6000XP All-in-One Solar Inverter
Whether you’re entirely off the grid or connected to the grid, the EG4 6000XP Inverter adapts to your needs, offering supplemental charging and power output. With a 480VDC MAX rating, this inverter doesn’t need a combiner box thanks to its two MPPTs and recommended 8kW PV input. You can also parallel up to 16 units to achieve up to 96kW of output power.
Communication
The EG4 6000XP Inverter comes with a mountable Wi-Fi device so you can make a wireless connection to EG4’s monitoring platform from anywhere you might be. Additionally, this inverter supports closed-loop communications so you have the freedom to use either EG4 or SOK Batteries.
- *A battery firmware update is required for closed-loop communications with EG4 Lifepower 4 batteries.
High Frequency, Split Phase Output
The EG4 6000XP Inverter’s high frequency, split-phase output design is both transformerless and highly efficient, providing a 120/240V output with a single unit.

Amazing inverter, very easy to set up. Handles the EG4 minisplit with no issues.

I bought mine in March 2024. It was a replacement for the 6000ex which suffered an internal failure after about two years. The ease of installation far supersedes the very heavy 6000ex. The user panel where you make the connections is more roomy than the 6000ex. The built in breakers for Line in, Generator in, and Line out are a real plus.
Sadly missing a pre-charge circuit, maybe in the next iteration.
The remote management through the web site is light years ahead of the software for the 6000ex. It is also sad that the android app has less functionality.
We have this installed in our full time off grid skoolie with 4K plus of real time solar input and an 1100AH DIY battery. It lets us live almost like we are grid tied, without the wires.
This summer is being a hot one and and we are having to turn off one air conditioner to run the Microwave, because, a 1100W AC unit and a 2200W microwave push the limit of the 3000W per line output. No load balancing. But for $1399.00 that’s not a surprise. We are preparing to pull the trigger on a second 6000xp to handle the extra loads of wanting to live like an eskimo in a big metal box in the Chihuahua desert of SW New Mexico
One thing I forgot to mention is that the low idle current claims are verified in real world use. Which is one of the reasons we have decided on #2. We are planning to run the air conditioning circuits alone on the second inverter which will be really underutilizing the potential. In our book it should just make it last longer. We will be making the purchase of our second 6000XP from Current Connected because we had a real customer support nightmare with Signature Solar and have had a number of conversations with, Current Connected, that indicate it is far less likely to be the case here.

I was happy with these units at first…. they have all the right features, decent terminals, easy to install, and decent monitoring portal. But after a couple months of use and several different sites set up with open-loop charge control by Voltage, I am sorry to say that it is NOT possible to set up the charge curve correctly for Lithium, and EG4 support has made no meaningful response, and has not issued a firmware patch. I am pretty unhappy that an otherwise good inverter has inadequate charge control software…. and even more disappointed in EG4 lack of responsiveness to a significant software bug that will reduce the life of my batteries.

I’ve had mine running for about a month now, using one EG4 indoor wall mount battery. While it works okay, there are several issues that have me wishing I’d gone with the 12K instead. 1. There is no load balancing on the 6000XP. In our kitchen we have several appliances (toaster oven, Induction burner, microwave, etc.) that have a high draw. Everything works fine on-grid. However we frequently experience the inverter fail due to “overload” on one leg. i.e. If we start the microwave (1875W) and an induciton burner (1800W) at the same time, the inverter will cease output. I thought, “hey that’s only 3675W and this thing is supposed to support 6000W easily”. Well, no, I’m told by support that it only supports 3000W per leg, no load balancing. So this kinda sucks as my whole kitchen seems to be on L1. Not an issue if on the grid, but the 6000XP can’t handle all the loads. 2. Usage data is not avaialable unless the unit is connected to the internet. Since we are off-grid, and don’t use wifi, this is a ridculous requirement in my view. Troubleshooting issues is very difficult without having the relevant data to review, locally. Why does EG4 insist my system has to report into their servers in order to read my local data? Not happy. I am happy with how the unit performs during the daytime in general, with our loads easily handled by direct solar. Battery charing is also very satisfactory.
