    Growatt 12k latest firmware

    Just tried to update mine this PM. Sig Solar has turned into a regular s show. I am getting NO help out of them. They have added staff, as they needed too, however very short on tech experience. I have down loaded their software, watched their 3 yr old vid and never could establish coms w my...

    Growatt 12k latest firmware

    I have found that this board will not allow uploads of these file types. So we are dead at this point. My suggestion is a call to Sig Sol to get the file sent to you straight away. Sorry about that.

    Growatt 12k latest firmware

    Just off of the phone with tech at Sig Solar. He recalled a similar issue with this unit which was corrected by a firmware update. The latest update was issued in Oct 2022. But is labeled: SPF 8K-12K DVM Firmware 06-23-22. The zip file contains an .mp4 file explaining the process of...

    Growatt 12k latest firmware

    Sounds like your problem has grown larger than mine. Obviously, you have done a hard power cycle of the unit, which was all I needed to do to get mine to re-engage and begin charging. Sig Solar needs to up their game a bit as I have called them 2x on this very issue. Please keep me in the...

    Growatt 12k latest firmware

    I would suppose you have the latest firmware update in the new unit. Since you just purchased. I have only been able to "clear" the fault by powering down the unit...pv and bats. If you dont mind the question, what is your PV arrangement? I will call sig Solar this week to chat about this issue.

    Growatt 12k latest firmware

    Unless things have changed significantly, I doubt it was in the warehouse for any length of time. Seems they were running w minimal inventory for a long while.

    Benefits of Firmware Update for Growatt 12k DVM MPV

    I am never up early enough to put an eye on my panel input voltage. Only suspect that in the lower 30s it would be cranking out the watts. Will keep you posted on what i find.

    I need to correct something in my previous post. The Open Circuit max input for this 12kW Growatt MPV is 250VDC not 150 as previously stated.

    Benefits of Firmware Update for Growatt 12k DVM MPV

    I am having the same issue. I have to do a complete hard boot of the inverter to get it to re-engage. I seem to remember some time ago, the unit restarted on its own. I have this issue on colder mornings, 0C. I am well below the stated 250VDC OC limit of the unit---199VDC OC. And have...

    Growatt 12k latest firmware

    I have experienced this issue several times now. No PV input. Always on cooler mornings, temps close to 0C, seems to be the common factor. I am running 12kW MPV which runs flawlessly all other times. Always on a bright sunny mornings, again temps at 0C. I am feeding to both PV inputs at...

    Growatt ShineStick Connectivity Issues

    You might be right. I did reset the PVtype from Ground to Home and it began to work. I was using ShinePhone with a lot of luck. Then I think they pushed out a new version and it all quit working, hence why I am looking for another means to monitor.

    Growatt ShineStick Connectivity Issues

    Received my dongle last week. Setup seemed straighforward and in no time was getting logging and real time data. Fast forward to today. Woke this morning to a frozen data logger. Growatt program says the logger is OFFLINE. Have deleted and reinstalled numerous times to no avail. Growatt...

    Overkill smoke smells expensive

    Did I just smoke my Overkill BMS? I had 2 side by side 8s 120A Overkill BMS's. Had some weird voltage on one of my cells. Wanted to confirm it, so plugged the balance lead from one BMS into the other. Now the BMS shows no voltage on any cell or for the 24v bank. Is it dead? or can it be reset?

    overkill bms android app

    Kind of new to this. But I did see there was the option for switch install that would disable the BMS. At least on the model I purchased. Not sure if it helps.

    Order from alibaba exp to California

    Ordered 8s 24v a week ago and they showed up today. All at 3.26V. Had tags to indicate what I believed to mean they were from similar matched group. All parts included with one extra bus bar. Very happy thus far.
