    EG4 6000XP & PowerPro Battery versus BatteryEvo Walrus

    The product may have potential in the future, but I do not have the time or the money to be someone's guinea pig. The EG4 stuff seems to have a pretty good track record right now; but has not been out there long enough for any long term feedback.

    Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM Dashboard Data & Questions

    Several months ago I watched that video (worst ever) and was able figure out what the key sequences were, of which I do not remember without going through the exercise again. Study the key strokes in the video and it will reset.

    Growatt 3kw wiring question

    I had 3 Arc Fault breakers and 3 GFI breakers. I replaced all 6 breakers with standard breakers and down stream, put GFI outlets on all 6 circuits. I think think this will cover all safety issues. This is how my other homes have been configured as GFI outlets were cheaper than GFI breakers...

    Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM Dashboard Data & Questions

    Update: I reset my Growatt to factory defaults and made Ian's suggested changes. My settings pre & post reset were identical. While doing this it dawned on me based on Ian's previous comments that my panels might not be creating enough voltage to satisfy the MPPT's requirements. I had...
