    Growatt 3000 24v Reversed ground/Hot reading

    Also I have checked the voltage and resistances. You’re just wrong. I know that’s painful to admit sometimes, I’ve been there. But the panel is not bonded and the inverter is not dynamically binding anything. When I ground it at the plug, the voltages read proper, from both the inverter and on...

    Growatt 3000 24v Reversed ground/Hot reading

    If these units work as perfectly as you claim then why are there literally dozens of threads and YouTube videos about how to deal with the problem I laid out? Is my breaker panel OCD compliant? No. But it is perfectly safe and I have consulted with Paneltronics and can confirm it is wired...

    Growatt 3000 24v Reversed ground/Hot reading

    Ahh, I see. So which do you guys think would be a better option: 1) the plug mentioned above. Pro, you would have to remove it in order to plug into shore power so no chance of double bonding. Con, the only option for the 30amp twist lock on the back of my van would be a bulky 5” long female...

    Growatt 3000 24v Reversed ground/Hot reading

    So this was my conversation with the seller watts247 (I don’t know if this is Ian specifically). Does this make any sense? I’m not even 100% sure what he’s suggesting in the last message. Does nobody in a mobile setup like van or rv really use this unit without some weird Jerry rigging?

    Growatt 3000 24v Reversed ground/Hot reading

    Here are the terminals for the growatt. This is after the jumper wire which is why you can (kind of) see two white wires going into each neutral terminal. The other picture is the Paneltronics breaker panel. Looks a mess I know but all the wires are correctly and securely attached. Also if it...

    Please forgive my ignorance, AIO? Just for clarity this is in a van conversion, if that changes what you want to see.

    Growatt 3000 24v Reversed ground/Hot reading

    So I've gone through the various threads that seem to relate to this problem and I still can't seem to fix it. When AC is passing through from the utility its fine, all my outlets test good. When I use the inverter to generate the AC my Paneltronics breaker panel would like up "reversed...

    Growatt 3000 SPF Floating Neutral (Solved for Now)

    I know this is years old but this is the best description of my problem so I was curious if you could send me a picture of your solution. Is it just as simple as a small piece of wire connecting the two neutral terminals together along with the normal in/out cables?

    24 x 200ah cells to make biggest ah 24v battery.

    I'm not really sure what "based on" means exactly but the onw I got from Minerals has Jikong printed right on the bms and uses the JK app, so if it's not a legit JK bms they did a great job "basing it on it." Lol

    24 x 200ah cells to make biggest ah 24v battery.

    I just received this from the seller I purchased mine from and it looks like it accepts 20-40v so we should all be good. Now does anyone know if the RS485 port on this bms will talk to a Growatt? And if so, what all that would entail as far as setting it up? I'm communications protocol dumb.

    24 x 200ah cells to make biggest ah 24v battery.

    That’s to initially turn it on. But the information provided with the bms states it needs to be supplied with 40v+ to power it after initial turn on.

    24 x 200ah cells to make biggest ah 24v battery.

    Are you buying the minerals one? Please let us know if it works on 24v without having to step up to 40v as I just purchased one but don't have my cells yet to test it. It didn't say anywhere on the listing that it required 40v to work but the "instructions" (such as they are) say it does so now...

    Good review on supplier.

    @Amy Zheng Are there any plans to stock the 304 ah cells in the USA warehouse? If not, what are shipping times currently estimated to be from China to the USA? Thank you.

    Reputable LiFePo4 sellers

    I’ve tried searching the forum but most threads seem to be a bit dated, especially since once a seller gains good rep other lookalike companies will spring up trying to snipe business. So… who is currently a reputable seller for 280-310 ah cells? Not necessarily the cheapest, but the ones who...

    280ah vs 302ah also CATL vs EVE

    Considering you joined Monday right after I got an unsolicited message from another brand new account selling the same Dongguan Lightning cells, I’m just going to assume you’re the same company spamming all posts trying to push product.

    Purchasing 32- Eve 304 ah cells or 32- CATL 302 ah cells which one is best advice needed

    Really looking forward to seeing how these work out for you as I was just going back and forth between the exact same companies over the exact same sets of cells. Leaning towards amy now.

    Avoid AliExpress "LiitokalaVariCoreFlagship Store" from "$433 280Ah LiFePO4 Cells Tested: Cheaper than lead acid!" video

    Curious who the vendor was as I was just getting info from various vendors on alibaba and one lady kept trying to steer me to 280 eve cells when I was asking about the 302(pulling 320 supposedly). When I asked why she said because the catl cells will bulge in transit from heat but that if you...

    280ah vs 302ah also CATL vs EVE

    So I was contacting a few suppliers on Alibaba about LiFePo cells. I sent Basen a message and Sophia Zhu responded to my questions but at the end added "I would recommend sourcing EVE 280Ah for better consistency. Higher cost performance." What follows is the rest of our conversation: Me: "Are...

    Growatt vs MPP monitoring software/App

    Can people with either one of these all in one units chime in with how they like the WiFi monitoring software/App? I'm curious which is better. By better I guess I mean reliability (i.e. buggyness, crashes, etc.) and also functionality (how much you can control with it and how easy it is to...

    Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM

    @Will Prowse I know you said they are identical inside. the Growatt documentation lists the charge controller as having a much greater mppt operating voltage range then the MPP. Is this actually different or is one of the spec sheets just wrong?

    Single Cell AH limit

    The 272-280 seem to be the largest that i've seen thoroughly tested. I'd be interested to see any tests of the larger cells as I would definitely be interested in them if someone could prove they are legit as the 280 ones.

    Largest aluminum cases cells

    Is 280ah the largest aluminum cases cell made? I’ve seen some 500ah cells on DHgate (don’t know if they are a reputable seller or not) but they are the plastic cases ones. Significant advantage to the aluminum ones? Weight would be the big one I assume. Anyway thanks for the wealth of info...
