Great feedback, and I agree with your conclusion. Thanks for taking the time to reply...

The product may have potential in the future, but I do not have the time or the money to be someone's guinea pig. The EG4 stuff seems to have a pretty good track record right now; but has not been out there long enough for any long term feedback.

I am looking to upgrade my 24 volt system (Growatt 3K) to get built in split phase. I was leaning towards the EG4 6000XP with an EG4 PowerPro Wall Mount Battery. All the reviews and specs look great. Total cost $5,200 +/-. Then I came across the BatteryEvo Walrus all in a single case for...

>>When wired in parallel, two batteries with 100A BMS can supply 20A. Did you mean 200A (not 20A?) Thanks...

I have a Growatt 3K 24 Volt System that has 4 12v AGM batteries configured S/P I want to upgrade to LITime LifePo Batteries. I can get 24v 100AH 100 amp BMS on sale for $516.71 or 24v 200AH 200 amp BMS for $1,409 My question is the two 24v 100AH with 100amp BMS limited to 100amp draw at...

@benmilner I am 30 minutes away from you. I would be happy to run a Univix unit in place of my Growatt for 30 days are report back to this thread. I am currently running 4 of your 12v AGM batteries in my system as well.

I found that setting and will try it out. Thanks!!

I have a 24v off grid system set up with 200 Amp Hours of AGM batteries connected to 4 - 350 watt panels. (Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM Series) The system is currently running in SOL mode: Solar -> Battery -> Utility. I would really like to system not to charge the batteries from the grid when they...

Please describe your configuration...

Several months ago I watched that video (worst ever) and was able figure out what the key sequences were, of which I do not remember without going through the exercise again. Study the key strokes in the video and it will reset.

Update: sales@watts247.com May 31, 2021, 9:37 PM (13 hours ago) to me Jim, please check that the output is set to 60Hz, very important! If it's 50hz, it will for sure burn up the transformers. Let's start there -------- Jim Graham 10:51 AM (1 minute ago)...

I have a Growatt 3000 LVM hooked up to two 12 volt AGM 250 AH batteries in series for 24 volts. I also have 1400 watts of solar panels connected to it. I have been running in SBU mode with several critical loads on the inverter for several weeks. When running in this mode my TACO heating...

These drawings you provided represent before and after my reconfiguration. I did not test for current on the ground and will recheck this weekend.

I had 3 Arc Fault breakers and 3 GFI breakers. I replaced all 6 breakers with standard breakers and down stream, put GFI outlets on all 6 circuits. I think think this will cover all safety issues. This is how my other homes have been configured as GFI outlets were cheaper than GFI breakers...

Update: I reset my Growatt to factory defaults and made Ian's suggested changes. My settings pre & post reset were identical. While doing this it dawned on me based on Ian's previous comments that my panels might not be creating enough voltage to satisfy the MPPT's requirements. I had...

>>Did you ever try to connect an actual generator to your transfer switch (not the Growatt) and see whether the GFCI breakers pop? Great question... I did not have access to the generator at this 2nd home. However, through the process of elimination I traced the issue to the Growatt unit and...

Ian, Thanks for your reply. I will check my settings and respond. I have a 24V System with two 12V AGM Batteries in series. AFA "what do you want the unit to do?" I want Solar to run my load with Battery making up any shortfall until my battery depletes to 75% (I always want to reserve...

I used the Reliance Controls (120v, 6 circuits) manual transfer switch. When I switch a circuit from Line to Gen (Growatt) if the particular breaker on that circuit in the main panel is a GFI or Arc Fault breaker it trips... I have not been able to figure out why...

I am pretty confused trying to interpret the Web "Dashboard" you have access to when you have your Growatt configured with the wireless card and sending data to server-us.growatt.com I have my unit configured in SOL mode: With setting number 12 set to 24.0 volts so that I do not run my...

I did quite a bit of research on my configuration a couple of weekends ago and here are my findings: See "Solar System Drawing" attached above for reference. The the Neutral and Ground on the transfer box are just "pass through" (just the Hot wires are switched). My main panel is...

Still working on it. I have a pending call with Ian Roux.

How did this work out for you?

>>I am 90% sure this transfer switch only switches the Hot wire(s) and not the Neutral wire. That is not necessarily bad, but it means the N-G bond >>can only be at *one* of the following three places: >>Generator >>Inverter >>Main Breaker Box. I am 99% sure the Neutral and Ground on the...

>>Does the generator box come pre-wired with the wires hanging out of it? Yes is does. I just hooked the White to the Neutral Bar and the Green to the Ground bar in my main panel. System drawing: Drawn using https://app.diagrams.net/ Am I getting closer to the information that you require...

I have attached the instruction manual from the ProTran Generator Box. More info coming.

>>1) The description helps, but I need a diagram or at least make and model of every component so I can figure out what you are saying. Will do. I will put together a stick drawing and include the make and model number of the equipment involved... Stay tuned. Jim

Thanks for your response! The generator sub panel is wired: White to Neutral Bar in main panel Green to Ground Bar in Main Panel Hots from the 6 critical circuits, to the specific circuits in the main panel. 3 of the breakers in the main panel that are run to the generator box are GFCI...

Also got one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/ECO-PV-Combiner-Box-Junction-Box-12A-Circuit-Breakers-Easy-Wiring-For-Solar-Kit/124380960712?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&var=425259416764&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&redirect=mobile

Paid $110 each for 4 of them. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rec-Solar-350W-Poly-72-Cell-Solar-Panel-350-Watts-UL-Certified/284138817523?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&redirect=mobile

I have installed a 6 circuit Reliance Controls generator sub panel transfer switch 30 amp 120v. It has 6 circuit breakers in it that I have wired to 6 circuits in my main panel. Three of the circuits in my main panel that I connected are GFI breakers. The generator panel is fed with the...

I recently met the owner of a small Solar Generator company in New Hampshire. Chris from www.univix.com. He has 3 Inverter/chargers contract manufactured to his specifications in China by the same MFG that makes some of the big brand names (that must remain nameless). I am very impressed...

@corporate.joe Thanks for taking the time to respond. I installed my Growatt 24v SPF 3000LVM last weekend and discovered that it will not even power on without a 24v input. Ian @ Watts24x7 (where I purchased my unit) confirmed this fact for me. After carefully reading the manual ~again~ this...

Is there a loss/cost to powering the Inverter via a breaker connected to the main panel and then feeding the 6 circuits of the transfer switch in the diagram? I want to collect usage data to help size the battery and solar panels in phase #2 & #3.

I am new to Solar want to install a small "off grid" system to supplement a small vacation home that will help me learn and move on to bigger projects. I have installed a 3700 watt / 30amp / 120v Generator Sub Panel and run 6 important circuits through it. Because it is winter, I will have to...
