  • Post in thread: Is this a bad joke? Signature Solar creating specs requirements to avoid defective inverter costs?

    Thanks ,back on to the problem. Needed information to find solutions. Cut to the chase, stop all the blame game. Consumer responsible for his homework and work. Be responsible. Period. Walmart does not tell me how to use my coffee maker. Lol
  • Post in thread: My Megarevo 8K went boom.

    Yes, I am trying to locate electrician to pull my meter. I do not have the courage. I think my lines coming from grid service have been tapped. All this is underground and or enclosed in concrete block wall. I think phase 1 is the tapped line. Hard to locate good electrician that won't be bought...

  • Post in thread: My Signature Solar Experience (not good)

    My Signature Solar experince was good for a manufacture problem. SS spent time troubleshooting my Growatt inverter. Concluded needed it needed to be returned. They paid to return old unit. I paid for new inverter freight to be returned. We both split the pain the manufacture should have paid. I...
  • Post in thread: Replacement for Growatt 5000 ES needed ** Too many issues **

    My Growatt 5000es was working great one day. 2 days later smoking. Took out my bms.Grrr 2nd unit in a year. It is not connected to the grid. Wondering if transformer is functioning. Afraid to hook up battery again. Checked battery voltage put on new bms. Turned on showed battery correct . Then...
  • Post in thread: Signature Solar fair with me.

    My Signature Solar experince. Good results for a manufacture problem. As a distributor I found SS helpful in diagnosing problem and honoring warranty for manufacture. We split the shipping pain. Fair enough.
  • Post in thread: What exact is error 52 (bus voltage too low) on MPP Solar LVX 6048?

    No, but I have error 52 on My Growatt spf 5000 es inverter. I also am in Mexico. Battery did not solve issue. Removing from grid using only panels and battery did not resolve issue. I do not hear thumping . L also have to reset inverter. Hope someone can help us
  • Post in thread: My Signature Solar Experience (not good)

    They are a distributor not manufacture. They fulfilled distributor obligations. Read your manufacture warranty and take it up with manufacturer. Lol good luck with that. Life isn't always Rosie. Take your lemons and be glad someone is helping you make lemonade. Your attitude of what a business...
  • Post in thread: Last minute questions regarding 240V Split Phase Inverter Wiring

    Thank you so much . This is what I was thinking. Confermation is such a great thing. Now I am looking at my new distribution box. Could have bought wiser. Appears it is only 2 240v breakers provided I do not use main breaker.
  • Post in thread: Signature Solar fair with me.

    You see you are installer,service and repair industry. As a you stated you inform distributor of problem. Does your customer buy from your distributor then complain if they get incorrect problem or manufacture defect. Heck no. That is exactly why your industry exist to service people that have...

    Manufacuture,distributor, dealer, consumer. Do you warranty products purchased on eBay etc???
  • Post in thread: My Megarevo 8K went boom.

    I did also. Then realized the house at many times had no tenants. The house had no service from grid. Watched their meter nope no change for months. Pool was operating. Then I realized pool and sprinklers both operating,yet no service at meter. I started investigating. Started checking every...
  • Post in thread: Last minute questions regarding 240V Split Phase Inverter Wiring

    Yes it is a schneider that uses square D. Schneider bought square D. I thought so also. It fit so nicely I said ok. Should of studied it more. Says 120/240. Lol I suppose. Looking I can only see 1 way to have 2 240 breakers. 1was meant for main could be used. Then 3leg and 1 leg 4 could be...
  • Post in thread: Best solar hybrid off grid inverter

    Thank you. Your information was very insightful. I took new approach. Removed grid service. Seems to function much better. So either on grid feeding grid or totally off grid is the true operations. This pulling from grid as needed results in relay problems. Period. Thank you again

    This is very important. Protects your batteries.
  • Post in thread: Do you have to use an AC input on Growatt system?

    I have a adjustable charger on the way. Hoping to get soon. I learned hard way that you can charge being off grid. Lol took 3 days to do it. I do know now being fully charged and top balanced is a big plus. Lessons learned. I too am confronting hurricanes soon. I found keeping my inverter...

  • Post in thread: Beginner needs to buy components before going to Mexico

    Do not forget to bring in equipment will require custom fees. These can be surprising cost. I have lived here for 14 years and still shocked at cost of fees sometimes.
  • Post in thread: Daly Bms

    Can I use the balancer and bms while using an external charger. I have purchased a charger to aid in keeping my battery charged. Sick of not having charged battery at night. Seems my Growatt either exhaust my battery before night or on different setting slowly drains while not charging it...

  • Post in thread: 48V Grid Tied- UL listed- Hybrid-Split Phase 13kw and up inverters

    My experince with grid tie was very disappointing. The amount you are credited for your grid feed is about half of what you pay for kw use. Just my experince.
  • Post in thread: List of All Hybrid Inverters

    Thank you
  • Post in thread: Signature Solar fair with me.

    Does it matter where the consumer gets it? Do you honor products bought from online? Do you charge service calls to check out products?
  • Post in thread: My first LifePo4 48v battery build. Am I ordering the correct BMS? Daly 16s 48v 250a with Growatt SPF 5000 SE
