    Growatt SPF6000T DVM warning code 04 even though battery voltage is not that low

    It's a LifeP04 battery, I raised the voltages a couple days ago to see if I could get the battery to charge some more but so far I haven't seen any increase in overall charge. Maybe because it's switching back to battery as soon as it reaches 50V. I have set bulk to 51.8V and float to 50.6...

    Growatt SPF6000T DVM warning code 04 even though battery voltage is not that low

    Thanks, I raised it a bit and I will monitor it. I don't think it's normal, flashing red lights and error codes make me wonder what's wrong. Anyway, thanks to you guys on this Forum, the Growatt finally seems to be working ok. I need some more battery and probably some more panels to make...

    Growatt SPF6000T DVM warning code 04 even though battery voltage is not that low

    Thanks for your reply. Do you have any suggestions? I am thinking raise the voltage that the inverter goes back to the grid at, I don't want to hurt the battery.

    Growatt SPF6000T DVM warning code 04 even though battery voltage is not that low

    Hi All I think I am finally getting my Growatt SPF6000T DVM with 48V 15S Rosen battery to run half-decent but I have one issue that I find a little confusing. At night while I am on the battery and even after the inverter switches back to the grid I get warning code 04(Battery Voltage...

    This process could be a great advancement in the future.

    Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I wonder if it will work with LifeP04 also.

    Rosen Battery with Growatt SPF 5000ES (BMS ERROR)

    I bought a complete system from Rosen, including a Growatt SPF6000T DVM and a 48V 15S Rosen 200 AH Lifepo4 battery. The manual says communication works with RS485 but it only works with CAN and then it doesn't seem to work for too long. At first Rosen's support was fairly ok but then they...

    Growatt SPF6000T DVM not seeing panels

    Sorry, I don't know the part numbers. The technician changed the relays but I will try to find out.

    Growatt SPF6000T DVM not seeing panels

    Hi everyone, I thought I had responded to this already. FYI it was the relays that connect the PV input to the charge controller board. Once the relays were changed everything was fine. I am not sure what caused the error but there was a time when the bms was shutting on and off the panels a...

    Growatt SPF6000T DVM not seeing panels

    Sorry for the late reply, the notification went in my junk mail. Anyway, that wasn't the problem, it seems like the charge controller has burned out. I don't know why but I need to get a new one. Thanks

    Growatt SPF6000T DVM not seeing panels

    Thanks for the reply, but that did not work. Is there any way to check if the charge controller is working?

    Growatt SPF6000T DVM not seeing panels

    Thanks for the reply, can you spell it out in a little more detail, please. I have turned it off and on a few times before. What order should I turn things on in? I am still new to this.

    Growatt SPF6000T DVM not seeing panels

    Hi All, I need some help, please. My Growatt SPF6000T-DVM is not seeing the panels. There are no panels displayed on the LCD screen and it is not charging form solar. According to the voltmeter there is 134v going to the pv input terminals. This has been the reading from the beginning. It...
