    How to connect Victron stuff for communication?

    No, not yet, I will be installing and connecting everything this weekend. That's why I needed to know how to connect everything.

    How to connect Victron stuff for communication?

    Awesome @sunshine_eggo! Now THAT is helpful. Thank you so much 🙏 I assume the VE.Bus from unit 1 to VE.Bus of unit 2 to Cerbo VE.bus (2 total cables, "daisy chained") are 'normal' RJ45 ethernet cables? Like this: https://www.victronenergy.com/cables/rj45-utp-cable

    How to connect Victron stuff for communication?

    Hi guys, I've bought Victron equipment but I find it difficult to figure out how to connect all of them together for communication. I already asked this question in the Victron community, but all I get is a link to a document with some general information. So that's not helpful at all. My...

    Pylontech battery strange thing

    Thank you. The plus (+) IS at the top and the minus (-) IS at the bottom of the bars. Sorry, you can't see it in this picture. And the wires are the exact same length and there are no shunts or other fuses or so in between. How do you charge them independently to be the exact same voltage? Of...

    Pylontech battery strange thing

    Hi, I have 5 Pylontech US3000 batteries connected parallel. But the LEDS on the front show different values. The system (2 Growatts SPF5000ES) in parallel mode, charging this bank. No errors at all. What's the issue here?

    2 Growatts 5000ES after reboot No Power Out

    I really like those, but I am in Europe (Spain) and afaik I can't get any EG4 stuff, unless I buy them for example at SS in the US. But even then. I don't know if they ship it to Europe and IF (big IF) they do, there are ridiculous shipping and import costs.

    2 Growatts 5000ES after reboot No Power Out

    That might be a good idea indeed. But I have no idea how to update the firmware on those Growatts. I will look into it.

    2 Growatts 5000ES after reboot No Power Out

    The thing is that I have these Growatts now almost one year and there have been several occasions that they stopped powering the house. Sometimes an error occurs and then instead of sending grid to the house, it completely stops and it leaved the house powerless. It's pretty frustrating when...

    2 Growatts 5000ES after reboot No Power Out

    It did the trick. Thank you! Apparently I have to switch on the Growatts one AFTER the other, while waiting for Growatt 1 tot finish booting. And THEN switch on Growatt 2. What I did was switching on Growatt 1, and after 2 seconds, switching on Growatt 2. I will explain below what I did, just...

    2 Growatts 5000ES after reboot No Power Out

    No, not tried that. To do that, I must reconfigure to single mode, instead of parallel mode. Or is there a smarter way to temporarily try just one.
