    Adding new server rack lifepo4 battery to older server rack lifepo4.. drift issues

    I've been using my older 24v Eg4 (GYLL) battery for about a year and a half now and decided to get a second. Of course the newer EG4 lifepower4 version doesn't communicate with the older GYLL. So I'm having issues with different rates of SOC on both the charge and discharge cycle. I know that...

    Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM not ever reaching float

    Your solar output is too low, you need more panels

    Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM not ever reaching float

    A couple things we need to know: 1. How are your panels wired? 2. How is your battery wired and what BMS are you using? 3. Are you running any loads while charging? Some likely issues: - not enough Solar power - BMS or batteries faulty (but 8 think it's more the solar output is too low)

    Using Solar Assistant to read multiple batteries of different types

    Has anyone been able to achieve this? Or is there anyone in the Beta team who can share information on whether there are plans to have SA read multiple batteries with differing BMSs. I have an old GYLL battery and a new EG4 lifepower, they use different protocols so I can't read them...

    Solar assistant reading battery capacity incorrectly

    I've reached out to SA via email but I've not received a response in more than 2 days. Does anyone know if the application is still supported? My issue is that I have always used SA to read my first gen GYLL battery without any issues. Recently I purchased the EG4 lifepower battery and added to...

    EG4-LL V2 has protection fault out of the box (RESOLVED - see posts)

    I'm in Jamaica bought my batteries and inverters directly from signature solar, everything works great and I've had no issues with their tech support. How much did you pay for battery from local supplier?

    Growatt 3000/24 issues

    Not sure what GP4 batteries are... Yes Growatt has built in ATS, Yes charge rates from grid can be adjusted but for the 3kw 24v model I think the maximum is 60amps from grid charging

    Growatt 3000/24 issues

    I've been running this model since January with zero issues, the over panelling isn't an issue as the inverter allows you to limit the maximum power the inverter pulls from the panels. Remember that solar panels don't push energy the way a battery does. (All or nothing) The inverter takes what...

    Growatt 6000 Low DC Cuttoff

    Hey just curious, what happens if it hits the lvco . Does the inverter turn off all together (including grid bypass)? I found that I had two days of storm and though my Growatt switched over to grid the standby power draw was still like 1.5amps DC. So over night it was pulling battery way...

    How to control excess pv power production

    No actually I was referring to the same example he gave in that if your array can provide a max 5000W and your inverter is rated for 2000w max solar input but inverter output is great let's say 3000w output max , what if your load is demanding 2600 or even 3000w ? Will the inverter look to take...

    Growatt 3000 LVM possible inverter issues

    I'm running the same inverter with a side by side Frigidaire refrigerator..I get the same flickering when I run my Samsung washing machine ..the flickering only occurs when the machine motor comes on and off as it's one of those oscillator types. It appears to just be due to the high load draw...
