    Growatt SPF 5000ES firmware update

    I would think they would both fix your problem, I have used the F4 on a friend's machine to solve the problem as the 067.03 was not around at the time, I have another mate with fans running high speed and will go sort his machine out in a week or so But will use the latest 067.03 as I'm told it...

    Growatt SPF 5000ES firmware update

    The firmware is good for a 230v unit, why do you not let the unit switch to the grid before the cut-off point? In menu 12 im not sure what your setup is but check that out, unless you have no grid :(

    The 177 was from a different inverter, but your figures are right for the other one from a few weeks back

    Growatt SPF 5000ES firmware update

    Also seems they have a later ver than the F4 but will display as E2, from what I got out of them, its the same except for a small change on the 3.5kw unit

    Growatt SPF 5000ES firmware update

    I really don't think it makes a difference but for some reason, I have always done the V103 first, just remember only powered by the battery at the time.

    Yes I know that however, the inverter will only show you what is being used, not how much is available, anyway this story has done its time now, and happy the inverter is doing the right thing ;)

    Solar Panels being clipped /limited on Inverter Input

    Here the Unit is showing 4kW, the battery is fully charged, and the numbers do not add up. Yet the fix LGS51177 posted makes more sense give or take 170w

    Yes, only 3.6 to AC load, balance to the battery if required, one of the other posts we had numbers that just didn't add up

    Regarding the WiFi and the two different solutions you have tried, is it not maybe the Internet that's a problem out in the sticks?

    Growatt SPF 5000ES firmware update

    Ok well glad your fans are good, I do not have one of these units so cannot comment, a good friend of mine has one, I am on the older hardware 040, I'm sure we will not see any updates soon as they still having new year.

    Growatt SPF 5000ES firmware update

    Growatt SPF 5000ES firmware update

    Well, I don't know what's going on with your unit, What was the Firmware ver before you tried to update? I have done a few without any problem and 2 or 3 guys on this forum have also done the update to get the fans to a normal speed. and after the update are fine and displays 067 F4 A27 / 068 F4...

    If the firmware in the picture above is what you had, you need to update with this firmware.

    Growatt SPF 5000ES firmware update

    Was it 067/068? and what was the reason you wanted to update? Noisey fans or just because

    Agree with radurus what was your firmware before, and what did you try to update it to?

    Growatt SPF 5000ES firmware update

    Well, where do we start here? if it's not the inverter where to next, maybe a bypass diode on one or more of the solar panels? It may also be an issue with the MPPT Board or even just the 270uf 500v capacitor on the MPPT Board, I had one with similar issues until that Capacitor when dead short.

    Growatt SPF 5000ES firmware update

    Thanks for the reply, also it seems only Ver 3.0.0.0 has the remote upgrade via the internet , and the older 1.7.6.7 do not have the same hardware, checking advantages with the factory they say "same same"just the online upgrade. Thanks for your reply

    Growatt SPF 5000ES firmware update

    Well at the end of the day you will kill it if you expect it to output that much, after all, it's a 5kW unit. Growatt is busy with 6kW Units right now not sure of the operation or specs but did get a sneak peek at the unit, it looks like all the other Growatt units and are not the same casing...

    Solar Panels being clipped /limited on Inverter Input

    Yes but 2 seconds later it's 400w I would like to see it when it's under load over some time, he just went to look for the peak but for me means nothing. I may have to RTFM myself but would be nice to see some continuous load.

    Solar Panels being clipped /limited on Inverter Input

    Kieth most times say's a lot but really says nothing he just waffles and never gets down to exact details, at the point of talking about the MPPT being 7kW he jumps into bi-directional and does not give the full story, I have seen many of the video's and they all the same never to the point...

    Solar Panels being clipped /limited on Inverter Input

    Yes I see the SOC is 100% but this 3.6kW unit is working to spec, I don't know where they coming with it can do 3.6 plus more for battery charging. Yes you may do more than the rated power 10% or so, but he is going on what the installer told him, I think the installer didn't give the real...
