Where is everyone in Canada getting the Growatt all-in-one's from? I found the 3k on amazon however can't find it anywhere else, not sure if the price is good (https://www.amazon.ca/Inverter-Charger-Inverters-Growatt-Converter/dp/B08MKS55SM/ref=dp_prsubs_2?pd_rd_i=B08MKS55SM&psc=1). I noticed on...
Hi everyone,
I have a SPF 3000 TL Growatt with a 24V 200 amp FLA battery bank I am in the process of building for a weekend cabin. My current generator does not have auto start capabilities (Yamaha EF6600DE), it's old and burns a lot of fuel. I would like to get a smaller 2-3KW generator to...
I recently purchased the Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM-24P and I am getting ready to install it. I am hung up on the neutral/ground bonding with my all-in-one Growatt as the manual does not explicitly say how the N-G bond operates. My setup will be:
1) Growatt - AC out feeding a small sub-panel with...
Thanks for the responses!
Panels - Sounds like I need to up my panel array, shoot for 1000W and add if necessary. I will look at those suppliers in the US.
MPPT - Do you guys think it's worth the extra $$ to get a victron controller? Bluetooth and not needing a separate controller in the cabin...
Thanks for the replies guys!
The cabin is about 6kms into the bush by ATV so hauling something like that in and out isn't feasible. Looks like a slick unit tho!
So... the growatt doesn't have the temperature sensor capability... what now? Live with it / modify the charging parameters on the...
I suppose the other option is to go with LiFePo4 batteries as they do not need the temperature sensor? I started a thread to get feedback on these cheap batteries I found locally but haven't received a response. https://diysolarforum.com/threads/tournament-lithium-500cad-12v-100ah-lifepo4.21632/
Hello all!
We recently purchased a cabin in the Parry Sound area (Ontario, Canada) and are looking to go solar and mitigate the need to run our generator (5500w yamaha). The cabin is typically used 3-4 days once per month and for a week twice a year.
I have been researching for a couple of...
Bubba1 - How many watts do you think would be best for this system?
ArgoVenturesPeru - Typically 3 people. The batteries are 6V flooded lead acid... I would like Lithium batteries but that will bow my budget and I dont have a good idea how I would keep them above freezing in the winter.
We...
Okay guys I am getting ready to order the balance of my system and I am hoping someone can help me out with a few questions before I order. My system as of right now is:
- 24V 205AH bank (4x6V FLA batteries)
- SPF 3000 growatt
- 2S2P Solar Array, 390W each panel
1) Cables and Breakers - I am...
Has anyone tried these batteries? https://tournamentlithium.com/12v-batteries/
They are $500 CAD for a 12V 100AH... quite a bit cheaper than the ones I was looking at here: https://www.solarshoppingmall.com/Lithium-LiFePO4-Battery-100Ah-12V_p_187.html
Looking to purchase 2 for 24v 100AH. I...
I found a growatt SPF 3000 for $1250 CAD cash and 310w Canadian Solar panels (CS6X 310P) for $175 CAD cash. Planning on 4 panels, the growatt and 100AH lifepo4 or 200AH FLA. Sound good?
A question on the growatt - I dont see that it includes a battery temperature sensor... is this a problem?
Do you know if you can use a temperature sensor with the growatt MPPT without doing custom work?
Another question... My 3 way RV fridge is currently run off propane but requires 12v to operate. I also have a 12V water pump. After reading multiple threads I see I have a few options:
1) Use a...
