There is a specification sticker on the side of the inverter. I think that wins. My sticker says Max. PV input voltage (VOC): 250 VDC and MPPT voltage range: 120-250 VDC.
What are your settings for your setting 01, Output Source Priority? Is it SOL, Utl, SbU or SUb? I'm assuming it is not Utl. You say you have no battery connected so I'm not sure what happens in some of those modes.
Click the DIY Solar Blueprints menu item here on this forum. Watch the videos and read as a first step. Most of your questions will probably be answered in there.
When you cycle through your display on your Growatt, what does it show for the solar input values for voltage, amps, watts, etc.? What does it show on the Growatt web site dashboard in the block labeled "Solar" for Today and Total? Mine is shown below for tonight. I didn't have solar connected...
Also, I assume you have shut down your inverter completely to reboot it at some point. I had mine get stuck one time and that seemed to clear it. I had been using the Growatt web site tool to change some settings on it and I think I changed the wrong thing. The restart cleared that.
If you scroll down on that Growatt dashboard page you posted above, there is another section with more details for your device. There is a circle on the right side that says "History Data" below it. If you click on that, you can see very detailed information for the state of your device and the...
I've been enjoying figuring out the nuances of the SPF 3000TL LVM-ES and the EG4-LL batteries working together. The documentation definitely needs a lot of work. Maybe this group can create something together? I know that I've gathered a lot of good ideas from these forums and the various...
Well, that iChargePV1 is probably the interesting part. That says solar energy ("i" means current in amps) is going into your PV input from your panels and going somewhere as shown in your dashboard picture. If you keep scrolling to the right in that data, you might see some additional clues to...
Having done this myself, I can tell you that if you prop one end of the panels on something (I'm using some concrete blocks I had laying around) to get the end about 10 inches high, it avoids the grass burning issue by allowing airflow to keep things cool.
My experience laying panels on the ground is that it killed the grass underneath very quickly (like in one day)due to the high temperatures of the panels. I thought I could just move them around every few days but the grass turned brown overnight. I now have them propped up on some concrete...
It is an interesting exercise to have a power meter like a Whatsup connected to the fridge and then to see the power draw with the door closed, with the door open (lights on) and when it goes into defrost mode or cooling modes. Mine uses 200 watts for the light bulbs in the refrigerator section...
Growatt 3000 I have can and does do this. I have it run on the batteries down to 50% and then recharge to 99% from utility if I don't get the solar connected for recharging.
Yes. It's kind of a bummer to realize that you have all those photons hitting the panels and nowhere for them to go! I have 10kWh of batteries in my little test system. I have the garage freezer running off of this system but that's not much load. I've been running a space heater to generate...
