Lightning will cause damage either from a direct strike or from surges due to a nearby strike. Induced surges are the most likely cause of lightning damage in majority or installations, especially in rural areas where electricity is usually provided by long overhead lines. Surge may be included on both the PV array conduction and the AC cables leading to the building.
Introduction Basic features The EG4 8KEXP-240 is a high-quality hybrid inverter which can convert solar energy to AC energy and store the energy in batteries. This inverter can be used to optimize self-consumption, store in the battery for future use or feed into the public grid. Work mode depends on PV energy and the user's preference. It can provide power for emergency use during grid loss by using the energy from the battery and inverter (generated from PV).
Installation Check for Physical Damage Make sure the inverter is intact after transportation. If there is any visible damage, please contact your distributor immediately. Packing List Open the package and take out the product, please check the accessories first. The packing list is shown below.

Please AVOID direct sunlight, rain exposure, snow laying up during installation and operation. Space Requirement Mounting Tools required for installation. Installation tools: drill, crimping pliers, screwdriver, crescent wrench, etc. Step 1: Drill 4 holes in the wall according to the following dimensions, 50~60mm depth. Then use a proper hammer to fit the expansion bolt into the holes.

Step 2: Lift up the inverter and align the holes of the inverter with the expansion bolt, mount the inverter on the wall. Step 3: Tighten the nut of the expansion bolt and install a tamper proofing lock on the DC switch of the inverter.
Step 5: Insert the conduit and fasten the joint. Electrical Connection PV connection This inverter can be connected with 4-strings of PV modules for 12kW (3kW per MPPT). Select PV modules within specs and reliable quality. Open-circuit voltage of module arrays connected in series should be less than max, temperature adjusted DC input voltage in accordance with NEC compliance.
Step2. Feed the PV cables through the PV port, and connect the PV cables to the PV terminals. Grid Connection Step1. Check the grid voltage. Check the grid voltage and compare to acceptable voltage ranges (Please refer to technical data). Disconnect the circuit board, and secure against re-connection.
Battery Connection The charging & discharging system of this inverter is designed for a 48V lithium battery. Before choosing a battery, please note the maximum voltage of the battery can’t exceed 60V and the battery communication should be compatible with this inverter. Battery breaker Before connecting to the battery, please install a non-polarized DC breaker to make sure the inverter can be securely disconnected during maintenance.
Fault diagnosis and solutions This inverter is easy to maintain. When you encounter the following problems, please refer to the Solutions below, and contact the local distributor if the problem remains unsolved. The following table lists some of the basic problems that may occur during the actual operation as well as their corresponding basic solutions.
10. Inverter Parallel Guide 10.1 Parallel System Diagram Multiple inverters can be installed together to deliver more power. When AC loads are present, all units effectively share the load. The system diagram is as follows.
10.2 Parallel Communication Cable Connection For parallel communication, CAT 5 cables are needed. When using common batteries, BMS cable needs to be connected to the master unit. The inverter shares the BMS information by inter-unit parallel communication cable. 10.3 Parallel Operation Notes 1) Make sure all the units in parallel are with the same software version.
