Ahhh I didn’t think about that. Okay that makes more sense

I just purchased one and I’m genuinely confused. First off..no manual. Just a pamphlet with information on how to add 10 growatt axe batteries together. Secondly….the batteries connection should be flipped if I were the designer. You need to squish your communication cable to get the massive...

Thankyou for all of this information. I’m going to mount them at a 45° angle now. Easy enough. Should I only hook 5 of these panels up in the event that it gets cold or should I disconnect one panel once it gets below 50°F outside?

Sorry other photos didn’t load. I’m in the woods.

Oh maybe I’ll just swap the fan out in that case.

The 2x4 fire blocking needs to be installed every 4’ of every wall bay. It’s not the most fun part about building homes but one of the most crucial in my opinion. If you put sheet rock up in a new garage you need to spackle and tape the joints and fill any holes with fire caulk by code. The...

Can I use 2 gauge thhn for a negative battery cable? Or is this too rigid? It’s from from growatt 6k inverter to eg4 lifepower4 battery it’s a 50 inch length I need Looking at the big box stores

Voltage seems to be going down slowly? Still at %99

I’m currently charging my battery with generator only so yes it will work. Growatt 6K inverter Growatt 5KWH battery

Now battery is at %100 but charger light hasn’t shut off yet

Growatt all in one like the 6k and 12k units offer a dongle that works with wifi to give you info

If you bought a 12k inverter let’s say a growatt. You’re looking at roughly $2,000 for it to arrive at your door. Many other inverters out there. Battery bank size would depend on how long you plan to weld for. I would assume you’re going to be welding the thickest materials on the highest...

I was given some Golden information I think… I’m gonna Take a pencil sharpened on both sides and use it to connect the Battery+ with inverter +. Using the graphite in the pencil as a capacitor? Worth a shot.

Hello fellow solar enthusiasts, I’ve got a head scratcher on this fine sunny New York day. I’m noticing that I’m using my generator to top My battery off daily and I’d like to fix that. I charge the battery to %99 SOC at night with the generator and by the morning it’ll be at around %70 SOC...

Ring camera mounted next to it wouldn’t be a bad idea

Muriatic acid can be found at any masonry supply. It’s what we use to clean trowels. We just spray em with wd40 after though. Not sure about any jelly lol ?

Hello. This may be a silly question but I noticed float voltage is set at 54.0v by default with my growatt 6k AIO inverter. It is setable. I’m wondering if I should change this setting? Eg4 batteries spec sheet states 56.5v.

Now it’s reading almost 500watts 9amps 88v Would this mean that 2 panels are producing out of 6? I feel as if I’m missing something here

Inverter reading Edit:photo didn’t load.

Maybe this explains what it’s doing? I just don’t really understand. Can anyone explain what is going on?

Thanks! Straight forward. That’s what I needed.

What’s the knees?

I have one of these batteries and one growatt 6k all in one inverter. I’m assuming I have the same pre charge circuit issues as the eg4 batteries. It’s either that or my battery has an internal defect. I was expecting this system to work and I was told by manufactures that it would. This...

I’m working on that haha

I hooked it all up and I’m getting 200v dc out of the 6 panels in series

I’m afraid to hook a multi meter up to this when it has 48v+ being output in all honesty

400’

My positive cable is long enough. My negative cable could be 10” longer Thankyou. I’m gonna search for the welding wire most likely.

I actually needed this for several different reasons. One involving my perpetual motion downhill/uphill bicycle track. If anyone wants to see big jumps let me know

I just stumbled upon this. 55v would bring me to about %99 SOC should I not worry about that %1

You know I totally believe that and you put it into a good perspective. I understand better now. I can verify the quality of the outside of the unit by pictures. This is where he stopped responding. I’m gonna reach out again tomorrow. I’m pretty annoyed

The container was born in 1997 same with me. It’s been sitting in hiding at a port since 2000. I bought it in 2020. No crawlies were found but I do spray every year under around and inside.

Anybody have any ideas?

Reset procedure is similar. Instead of holding the bms reset like Will showed in the video. With this growatt AXE c-1 you just press it once and then the battery powers off and you get one flash of a green light on the RUN/ALARM light. I’m assuming this means the reset was successful. Power...

Hey th ats actually pretty cool tool. Thankyou for that!

Architecturally these are beautiful. They look like they’re engineered to the fullest extent possible. Awesome to look at. Love it. I still might do it one day. Who knows.

The other question I have if you could help is setting 12 and 13 on the growatt 6k AIO My previous settings were %30 and %100 Should I change this to say %25 and %99

HOW DO I WAKE IT UP LOL

Woah do you have a real water toilet lol?!?

This is the default setting for an agm battery. Which I do not have. This shows me the inverters charger works and I can provide output. As soon as I switch the settings to LI in setting#5 I get the red light and annoying beep.

hello all. i just purchased a growatt spf 6000t dvm-mpv. i also purchased a growatt AXE 5.0L battery. its scheduled to arrive this monday so ill be playing with it more and getting it mounted. i used a solar calculator off of santansolar.com to figure out that i need 5 -300watt panels...

Thankyou for that information. I need to install an earth ground. I’ve heard they’re 6’ deep. My shipping container is sitting on a giant Boulder basically so any ideas on how to get a ground in would be appreciated. I have about 3’ of soil before the massive Boulder

This is the data sheet from the panels I’m going to buy tomorrow. Growatt specs are attached as well. I’m buying 8 of these. I’m assuming they’d get hooked up in series but I need to sit down and do some math first.

Okay I see. So why do people call it the knees?

Awesome Thankyou for a quick confirmation. I’m going to change it to 55v now.

Specs

I would imagine it would fry my multimeter and hurt me if I touched both ends of multimeter to battery terminals on inverter. Am I wrong?

S.s. Recommended the 2 gauge actually and that’s what I purchased from them. I made a mistake when designing everything though so now I’m a little short and I’m gonna wait until I fix this to power on again. I do not yet lol My loads are minimal. I have 400watts total with everything running...

You must be reading my “to do” list. Im painting the roof with the elastomeric this weekend. I also slapped some exterior paint on
