Thank you very much!

I have 6 of these 48v GYLL batteries and am just about done wiring up the rest of my components but I don't have a manual for the batteries and the link on S. S. doesn't do anything. I spoke to Adam at S. S. but he wasn't any help. Would you be kind enough to share any info on the batteries...

Yes, my mistake. If I could return them I would, but I haven't heard of anyone having issues with the S.S. modified units. I follow David Poz who's been using 2 of them for quite some time without issues. Hopefully, prayerfully, they will work fine for me too. Hope to put them in service...

Bud, I check with SS and they said yes, the GND to L connection was removed. I asked if it was ok to send the GND on the output side of the inverter to the main service panel where the electricians would likely bond it with N and they said that would be fine. I checked the resistance between...

Thank you very much for the input. I understand that there are many options out there but since I already have two of these inverters and two auto-transformers, I can't really afford to buy replacement components. I'm praying that with the helpful advice of others on this forum and what I've...

Just got off the phone with tech support at S.S. Matt confirmed what you said and sent me an email with a schematic of how the 5k's should be wired in at least one application. I feel a lot better but will still check for resistance between N and GND as I bought these inverters several months...

I bought them from Signature Solar, but they are hesitant to offer wiring advice. I may call them tomorrow to see what they say about the video they posted, where the GND is not hooked up to anything out of the GW. To answer your question about checking resistance from N to GND, no, I haven't...

Samsonite, I have two of these SPF 5000 ES inverters and, just in case one goes down, I have 2 of the Solaredge autotransformers. Just mounted those 4 components as of a couple of days ago, but since then I'm hearing of a somewhat concerning issue with these inverters. Apparently, the output...

Thanks for commenting. The two Growatt spf5000 inverter chargers can each accept 450vdc so with my 32 370 watt panels I must parallel 2 strings of 8 to each inverter. I believe the combiner box from MN solar will do the trick. I should be ready to try it next week.

Thanks for your reply. I did purchase that unit and should be ready to install it in the next week, God willing.

Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it. I think I’ll call signature solar to see if they have any input as well.

The solar ground mount is up and we're just about ready to place the 32 panels in 4 rows of 8, but I can't find any documentation that spells out the proper spacing between each panel on the E. and W. sides. The N. to S. sides have bolts that fit between the panels and when tightened down they...

Unless I'm mistaken, it looks like the MNPV4 is designed to combine 4 strings into 1. That's not what I'm trying to do. Thanks anyway.

I probably wasn't clear...I'm currently assembling my array. It consists of 32 360 watt panels. I have 2 5kw Growatt inverter/chargers. I will parallel 2 strings of 8 panels into each inverter. I'm looking for a box that will allow me to combine 4 strings into 2, have fusing for each string...

Thanks for your reply. I'm a bit confused as to how this combiner box works? I see how it takes the inputs from the 4 strings, but it looks like there are exactly the same number of outputs.
