    Can shading be dealt with by parallel strings

    Hey Greg, I would be really interested in how the MPPT with the two strings, one of whcih contains the Tigos) behaves. I have added some extra panels to my roof (east/west aspect) which means it had to be split in to 4 strings. I plan to use a Sunsynk with 2 MPPTs and 4 inputs but I get some...

    Different voltages for strings and MPPT

    Hi Sunshine_eggo I have a related question to the OP. I have an east/west facing roof with 14 identical panels on each aspect split in to 2 strings of 7 either side (4 in total) which I plan to plug in to a SunSynk 8.8kw inverter that has 2 MPPTs and 2 inputs per MPPT. I plan to use one MPPT...

    Sunsynk inverter optimum settings?

    Hey Stephen What make of optimisers did your installers use with the SunSynk? I have heard the Tigo's dont work with their inverters. :unsure:

    Growatt SPH 5000TL BL-UP Charge Battery overnight on cheap rate electricity

    The growatt models are somewhat confusing.... The SPH can only charge the battery at 3kw (which is pants for a 5kw inverter). The SPH BL-UP model (latest version) can charge at 4kw - but only if 1kw of that is coming from the Solar (so only of use during the day which is of no use during the...

    Connected solar assistant but says "no matching devices found"

    hey gavin - if you have a new BL-UP you can plug SolarAssistant in to either the 485-2 port or the VPP port. If you use the 485-2 port though you need to put the port in to VPP mode using the menu screen on the front of the inverter. The VPP port should need no config. You will need an RS485...

    Solar Assistant with dual Inverters

    What Growatt inverters are you doing this with? I want to do this with two SPH BL-UPs and trying to find others who may have already done it Also, are you able to control the settings on both inverters?

    Growatt SPH 6000TL3 BL-UP paralell

    would also be interested in your experience with the Shinemaster Unit. Is it really needed to run the SPH in parallel?

    Anyone with Growatt SPH BL-UP's running them in parallel?

    Hi I will shortly be adding a second inverter to my SPH6000BL-UP and I am looking for anyone who has already done this who could share their experience with it - how you configured it, how it works etc? With my current setup I have largely abandoned the Shine app and interface in favour of...

    Growatt SPH 3600

    I am running 4 circuits on my EPS, one socket ring, one light circuit and two low power radials. I have had my entire CU tested and recertified with no issues.

    Growatt SPH 3600

    Ditto - i bought an SDM230 from Amazon and worked with my SPH6000BL-UP straight out of the box. I am never more than about 5w out and spend most of the time 0W on my smart meter display. :cool:

    Growatt SPH 6000TL3 BL-UP paralell

    Did you ever get to the bottom of this? What I have noticed is that you can have 2 similar 'sunny' days in a row and get quite different outputs. I think the only way to really look at the data is over a much longer period of time to determine if there really is an output difference

    Does anyone know where is sph 3000-6000 TL BL-UP RS232 or VPP port connection?

    Hi, I use Solar Assistant plugged in to the VPP RJ45 port on my SPH6000BL-UP. I wired it for the RS485 port as per the instructions on the SA website. I tried it today in the VPP port and and works exactly the same. What type of cable and RS485 adapter are you using?

    Growatt SPH 5000

    Hi Shaver I am also looking to parallel set up 2 SPH BL-UPs that have VPP ports. I cant find a "parallel" mode in the manual or on the menu system of my existing SPH6000BL-UP. Does it just go in to this mode of operation when connecting the two inverters by the VPP port? Any assistance greatly...
