    for people who need this feature as priority, it is a disappointment. it is a draw of around 300kwh per month. poor growatt

    i have tried to update now my firmware to 040 06 104 041 06 104 still screen shows 0 from utility, while on my clamp multimeter it is drawing 2 amps, and my electricity counter is blinking

    I have the SPF 5000ES. using in SUB mode, which should use utility when solar energy isn't sufficient. unfortunately, it doesn't function as it intend to. when solar energy is enough, on screen it mention 0 Amps drawn from utility, but in fact if you use a clamp current meter, you will see that...

    don't count on how many amps is drawn from utility shown on inverter screen. when it shows 0 amps, i used a current clamp on my utility input to the inverter, it is continuously drawing 1.5 to 2 amps, even though I have sufficient solar energy. i tried to contact the support, but they never replied

    be careful if electricity is expensive, i have spf 5000es, while it shows that it isn't using from utility when solar energy is sufficient, in fact it always draw 1.5-2 amps. you can check that at you brother place using a clamp multimeter to measure drawn current from utility

    no u haven't understood the question* it isn't normal to draw 2 amps from grid, when there is enough solar energy for load and charger, and showing on inverter screen that it is drawing 0 amps from utility grid.

    unfortunately after updating firmware, datalogger now only blinks green led, not connecting to sever. tried to reset datalogger and add all over again, but always stuck on blinking green led.

    AC idle consumption is not okay to be 2 amps, while this is the case. too much to pay for such feature. i'm sure this feature can be found on other inverter for less idle consumption. if anyone has experience with different solar inverter which has a fine SUB mode ?

    while you don't use it, you can buy much cheaper inverters without this feature. SPF 5000 ES is famous because of the hybrid feature for blending utility and solar energy. disappointing growatt

    resetting the dongle works fine. thanks guys
  • Post in thread: Inverter With SUB function

    not an option anymore when it draws that much idle power. if you find it an option, i'm sure most of users wont see it as an option when it draws that much of power. you must be living somewhere where electricity is cheap

    i have successfully updated. my datalogger isn't working anymore after upgrading inverter. any help ?

    t'inquiete pas. c normal de consommer ce ptit courant, comme g lu kelkpart que l'ecran et kelk equipment dans l'onduleur fonctionne tjs sur la batterie.il n'ya aucun risque

    there is other manufacturer, i didn't say 0w, but they have done it for much less consumption. poor design for poor growatt

    thanks for the files, i have successfully updated. any update for the wifi dongle ? because it stopped working after updating
  • Post in thread: Growatt SPF 5000ES firmware update

    hello my spf 5000es is on firmware 040 06 104 041 06 104 can i update using the 067 firmware? any newer update for my inverter ?
  • Post in thread: Growatt SPF 5000ES firmware update

    any newer firmware than 040 06 104 ?
  • Post in thread: Inverter With SUB function

    poor design then, maybe they could have done it better as other manufacturer has done it. this inverter is supposed to reduce electricity bill
  • Post in thread: Inverter With SUB function

    what you say is what it is supposed to do. but use a clamp multimeter on utility cable to measure the current. even when there is enough solar to power loads and charge batteries, it is drawing 1.5-2 amps from grid while on inverter it shows 0 amps from utility.

    firmware screen shows as follows 040 05 701 041 05 701
