    My generator does not recharge my Lithium batteries but shore power does!

    I have a similar situation ,and found out that the inverter will not work with a modified sine wave generator , it must be a pure sine wave generator

    I have just replaced the 3rd fan in my 2x spf inverters and expect to replace the 4th soon . This failures started during the warranty period and it was far easier to change the fans that change the inverter. The fan lock is a warning that one of the fans is not working . easy job , remove...

    most durable inverters

    I can recommend you leave Growatt out of your choices . They give zero back up . If you try to contact them they just do not reply , dreadful after sales service .

    SPF 5000TL / 5000ES compatible?

    One of my 2 x SPF5000TL HVM off grid Inverters has stopped charging , I am waiting for Growatt to sort it out but need to know if the 2 different inverters can work together on the same off grid system ? The 5000 ES and SPF5000TL are same basically but will they work alongside each other ?

    Growatt servers not showing data? This fixed it for me.

    My 2 dataloggers have been working perfectly for many months and I came here because one of them just lost connection without any changes being made, so I looked through the forum and found this thread. Instead of a flashing blue light there is a flashing green which means it cant communicate...

    I go to the inverters/ batteries to make any alterations, is there a function available through the Shine software. ?

    Remote Growatt wi fi display for house ?

    Yes I have the shine app but it would be good for others to see what is going on with the off grid system . People are always curious and a bit doubtful about off grid and it would be interesting for them to see the benefits

    rosen solar , ZERO BACK UP ! DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM !

    UPDATE!! After a rude amount of pressure a Rosen solar engineer contacted me and connected to my batteries via a usb cable through my laptop and re set the 2 errant batteries ! It has made a world of difference as the capacity is 200 ah X 3 so full power ahead. ! As I have posted previously ...

    Insane quotes for ground mount

    That depends on the wind direction, exactly the opposite if the wind is from the lower end of the panels , i.e. downforce

    Rosen Solar from Alibaba, anyone have experience?

    cells just reaching 3400 now @51v , but soon batteries will reach 100% and system will shut down . How can the cells get to Li levels ? What needs to be adjusted ?

    Rosen Solar from Alibaba, anyone have experience?

    right , but as soon as the cell voltages rise it shuts down .

    Rosen Solar from Alibaba, anyone have experience?

    Checked all cells in all batteries and all between the 3322 and 3325 mv. All battery voltages are 49.86v this morning. Is there anything wrong with these figures ?

    Rosen Solar from Alibaba, anyone have experience?

    There is another from sales who has taken up the quest but she has to refer to an engineer but there is a cable that is being sent which , I,m told will upgrade the BMS to correct the low amp batteries , we,ll see .

    Rosen Solar from Alibaba, anyone have experience?

    I do manage the system so we can actually live on it . It just doesn,t work automatically and I paid good money for this kit and they should correct the fault. Also , the 2 batteries are only charging up to 60% so this means I can only " run with the sun" little stored for a rainy day !

    Rosen Solar from Alibaba, anyone have experience?
