  • Post in thread: Inverter that blends grid power

    Yes your correct mrzed I have my Growatt system set up that same way. Solar, then battery, then utility. If my system gets over loaded then itll switch to grid just like you said.

    Im having a problem with my 48v units. I have 2 in split phase and my battery will last 3 min then the grid takes over the load and charges my battery then once fully charged back to battery the 3 min back to grid. I have 2- 24v batteries set as 48v. Then manual recommends 400AH could my problem...
  • Post in thread: 48v Growatt SPF 3000TL and LifePo4 Battery problem

    Here is how I have my system setup: -2 - 48v Growatts in split phase. Utility is in its own breaker panel and not connected directly to the house. Utility is set up to only power the washer and dryer and nothing else. The Growatt units run into my main breaker panel and powers the whole house...

    Im told they are and Im hoping. The spec sheet is at the top of this page with my 1st post. Would you take a look at it and see if everything looks good. What can I do if im hitting the limit?

    I just used a wrench and did them really tight, my wrench didnt go low enough. I ordered a new torque wrench that will work. If the bolts are tight but not torqued right how does that cause a problem?

    -Thank you for replying so fast. I re charged the batteries and they always seem to be about .3v off is that OK? -The batteries came with there own cable set and there 6 gauge. -I tested the voltage on both sides of the breaker and got the same reading. Just to be safe I moved the wire from the...
  • Post in thread: 48v Growatt SPF 3000TL and LifePo4 Battery problem

    Yes I did each on its own. Do you think there cold be an issue with the batteries? I noticed in the manual (page 6) it mentions connecting lithium batteries BMS to the growatt RJ45 port. My batteries dont have a connection port. Could the problem that I have with only getting 3 min out of them...

    OK I just checked the batteries with my meter and Im getting whats showing op on the batter meter....27.7 and 28.1. Ive charge the batteries on there own 4 times now. I can get the voltage to be the same or like .1v off but once the growatt switches over to battery Ill see the volts start to...
  • Post in thread: 48v Growatt SPF 3000TL and LifePo4 Battery problem

    yes the cables are the same length and everything is crimped. Ive checked all the connections and everything is tight.
  • Post in thread: 48v Growatt SPF 3000TL and LifePo4 Battery problem

    No that never crossed my mind, the cables came with the battery. Could that help with them not staying in sync? Could that be causing me to only get 3 min of use from them?
  • Post in thread: 48v Growatt SPF 3000TL and LifePo4 Battery problem

    I see what your saying and I understand. Ill try your idea and let you know the results
  • Post in thread: 48v Growatt SPF 3000TL and LifePo4 Battery problem

    Yes, I charged the 1st one until charger said full then started charging the 2nd until the charger said full. What do you think of what offgriddave had to say about the cable length?
  • Post in thread: SPF 3000TL LVM-ES

    I have my 2 Growatts connected to my breaker panel. I moved my main grid power to its own small breaker box then connected the output from the Growatts to a double 30amp breaker in the house panel. My Growatts are set to SBU and the solar powers the whole house all day long. Im working on my...
