    Growatt Min 8200 stuck

    Just another update as it did it again. This time it turned out to be the little jumper wire for the kill switch if switch wasn't installed. (little black loop wire next to the dip switches) one end was loose, other side pulled out with a slight tug. Good luck

    Growatt Min 8200 stuck

    This is way late to help but it turned out to be a firmware update issue. I guess from talking to someone there that the systems stop and then they figure you will call for help. Then you get the update.??? Now few months later doing the same thing.

    Shed roof mount ground solar panels?

    I'm sure you can run a ground rod in someplace close to shed wait for a soaking rain or use some PVC pipe and hose to soften and bore in the ground then beat in the last bit. You might get away with running a 6ga copper wire say 30ft just under the ground a foot or so

    Metal roof with furring strips

    I have called about the Magerack about the R brackets but they tell me they wont work as I have the rounded not flat ridge like the pic. So that leaves me with a lag bolt or a S5 solar foot style bracket. I think the other version of brackets screw into the metal rib only.
