    Mixing different LiFePO4 Batteries

    I am successfully running power walls of different AH's but the same voltage (48v). I am running 3 power banks. 1.0 48v 280AH grade B, 2.0 48v 280AH grade A and 3.0 48v 160AH grade A off-grid garage on youtube has also been running mixed AH's in parallel. Will Prowse also has videos on...

    Just got delivery of my 280AH CATL batteries

    Yeah. Everything is working now after carefully top balancing my cells again. I'm currently running two banks. One with a jbd and the other with a Daly bms. They both seem to be working okay for now

    Anyone used MOD 3-10KTL3-XH?

    I just came across this growatt inverter and was wondering if anyone has used it before. The specs looks very promising for connecting large number of high wattage panels.

    Current Sharing with Large LiFePO4 Packs

    Are they of the same Ah? I also have two 16 batteries that I'm thinking of connecting in parallel but one is 280Ah and the other is 160Ah. Do you think I can hook them up in parallel?

    Issue with Growatt SPF 5000 ES

    @sunshine_eggo I added additional 2 panels (370w, 41.85Voc, 34.11Vmp each) to the existing 8 panels (375w, 42.15Voc, 34.41Vmp each). The voltage reading on the inverter display is still less than 450v. I am seeing a voltage reading of about 340v. does this mean I can add 2 more panels?

    Strange. Didnt know that was possible. BMS reads a high SOC. Was planning on figuring out the amps I was pulling during that short time but I have forgotten how to get to the history data page on shineserver 3.0.00.

    Issue with Growatt SPF 5000 ES

    @sunshine_eggo I just realized that when I am on battery say 52v and I turn on my iron, load consumption rises to about 2400 watts, the inverter quickly draws power from grid and stops discharging from the batteries. When I am done ironing and turn it off, after a few seconds it turns back to...

    I meant how do I read the results of the capacity test on the inverter. the readings on the inverter are quite confusing

    Max. PV Input Current for SPF5000TL HVM-P

    "but even the desert gets cool at night" hahahahahahaha. The coldest it gets here is 23-24°C. I have about 15m between panels and inverter I contacted Growatt technical and the guy claims 18A but I find it hard to believe. Thanks for your help again

    Ok so here is an update on my setup. I have been running 8S for about 2 days now. I noticed the following: Previously the panels were registering voltage as early as 6am, but now they register voltage as early as 5am The inverter has stopped shutting down in the afternoon @sunshine_eggo was...

    Issue with Growatt SPF 5000 ES

    Thanks for your additional advice. Since I do not have any additional CC I would stick with the 8S configuration. Seems to be giving me all the power I need to fully charge the batteries each day.

    yes I am running a battery system. No they are all connected to the growatt from the combiner box. below are the specs for the other 4 panels

    ooh ok. thats good to know. I have 4 panels of one brand (38.86Voc) and 8 panels of a different brand (42.15Voc). Can I still do 6S2P?

    What does the spec mean by PV Array MPPT Voltage Range = 120Vdc~430Vdc

    Issue with Growatt SPF 5000 ES

    WOW!! that's crazy since mine starts generating way lower than 150v. see below. With my 4S3P i hardly hit 150v. Maybe its because the 3rd string is of a mismatch panel. So I had 2 strings with 42.15Voc and the last string with 38.86Voc. I think the reason why I did the 4S3S was because I read...

    Sorry, i meant to type series and not parallel. I am in West Africa, very tropical climate so no freezing here YET!! You are right. The most I have generated is 2237W I'll reconnect the 10 panels in series later today and report back I realized you used 34.41V Vmp for your calculations...

    Issue with Growatt SPF 5000 ES

    I can not connect all 12 panels in parallels. If I do so I would go over the voltage limit. Find below the spec sheet for the panel. It is a 375w panel. I think I can only connect 10 of the panels in parallel.

    Issue with Growatt SPF 5000 ES

    I have been using the Growatt SPF 5000 ES since September of this month. I recently noticed that solar generation goes off for an hr to 3 hrs each day. When this happens the inverter is able to read voltage from the panels but no current. I have 12 panels connected to the inverter in 3 strings...
