I’ve just set up my first solar system with 9 x 540W JA solar panels and two Growatt Spf5000 investors in parallel. A week ago I received the first Pylontech US5000 battery (second arriving next week). Everything seems to be working fine apart from the fact that I noticed that the battery seems...
I haven't. Based on the Pylontech manual, the vertical orientation (and the horizontal one) are the only two orientations that are recommended. However I will try lying the battery flat (horizontal) tonight and see if this changes anything. Thanks for the tip!
That's interesting. I have the inverters set up in SBU mode. However I assumed that once they switch to 'Grid mode' due to batteries running low, the inverters then power themselves from the grid too, not the batteries..
If this really is the expected behavior, should I then increase my cut off charge level from 30% to about 40-45% to allow for running these inverters overnight from batteries? Otherwise I end up using the grid charging those batteries due to hitting the critical low battery state..
