    Growatt SPH Series DIY Battery compatibility

    Even if the BMS is communicating now id say the main issue im having is with the settings, at least on the 10E the settings and function switches are named differently and some of them i dont understand at all. Andy did videos on all of this stuff and ive checked his posted resources on google...

    Growatt SPH Series DIY Battery compatibility

    Sure i will try it. Btw the picture shows the software version and also shows CAN:Growatt_SPF_SPH so im unsure if that means this is communicating because it said on the seplos website that you need to contact support for the correct firmware for SPH. Im happy to try the firmware you have to...

    Growatt SPH Series DIY Battery compatibility

    I am able to connect the BMS to the inverter and it changed the SOC on the inverter if i was to change it artificially on the bms by changing the soc value from 280 to 290 etc so i would have thought that it is communicating but I’ve had it when the BMS just doesn’t work properly, the list of...

    Growatt SPH Series DIY Battery compatibility

    No i haven’t flashed it, i got the 10E version back in august so I believed that it would be up to date unless as you say theres a new firmware for working with growatt sph. If you know where i can find the firmware update id appreciate it :)

    Growatt SPH Series DIY Battery compatibility

    Hi guys I have been using a seplos v2 BMS for my battery pack and it’s hooked up to a Growatt SPH 6000, I haven’t had much fun with this BMS as its far from a refined product but i was told that it’s the only one that can communicate with growatt using CAN communication. So the big question i...

    Growatt SPH4000 and Seplos not stop the charging of battery

    surely the over voltage protection is a safety feature only. Are you saying is an alarm is triggered on the bms then the inverter will stop charging? im having the same issue and cant stop the inverter from charging to 100%. really frustrating

    Growatt inverter SOC setting not working

    Hi guys I just built my seplos battery and all is going fine on the battery discharge for the calibration but I've got a setting in the inverter on the growatt shine server (web app) and it lets me change the grid priority to 0% but on the load priority it won't let me change it below 10% i...

    Solar Unistrut frame shocking me

    Took a reading, hardly anything in terms of amperage, voltage is still there. Suppose an earth rod will fix it. Thanks for the help.

    Solar Unistrut frame shocking me

    Hey guys I hooked up my 11 panel string to my Growatt SPH 6000 and it is running fine but i happened to touch the aluminium ladder and then the steel frame, got a strong tingle in my hand so i got my multimeter out and read 38V AC coming from the steel frame. I haven't grounded the array just...

    This is the kinda detail I've been searching for, thanks!. Also i still have the issue with setting ovp and uvp as i dont know what to set them as, i want to only use the battery between 10% and 90% soc.

I have found where i want to buy my battery cells from and know what BMS i will be using etc... I have been compiling what i need to do and in what...

    Growatt SPH 6000 - Maxing out PV

    Hey guys, new to posting here so be gentle haha. Got a growatt SPH inverter and got 13 x 410w canadian solar panels in series. If i add one more panel it would put the VOC over 550v which is the limit. Now this would only really happen in freezing weather and even then it would only go over for...
