Hello, and thank you for looking at my post. I live in Puerto Rico and need this system to help run my kitchen nd some lights
I am using:
- Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM
- 4 Chins 12v 200amp batteries, wired as 2 - 24v btteries
- Eco-Worthy solar combiner box, 6- string
- recently purchsed 4 Canadian Solar 405w panels with Vmp of 31 per panel and 37 voc per panel total - 124vmp / 148voc / 1620watts
So I did a 2 x S2 to the combiner, knowing that my panels are not perfectly alined with the sun, I thought I could get by on the over power issue of being 9 vmp and 3 over on voc. That only worked for 6 hours until I got a #08 issue from the system. I did remove 1 panel and now have 1 -S2 and 1 panel alone.
The issue I have now is the Growatt PV will not go above 640watts regardless how many panels are connected. I also have an orange blinking light that is letting me know there is another issue. Can someone please advise on what to do next? I have contacted Growatt, but no reply yet. Do I need to buy another unit?
Thank you in advance for your time
