Has anyone had issues with their Growatt ShineWiFi dongle setup showing weird spikes in the data logger? I'm running a Growatt 6k hybrid solar charge controller/inverter (SPF 6000T DVM-MPV)
with a 460ah 48v battery and 6S2P 290w solar array at a remote off grid cabin. All wires and breakers are sized and placed appropriately with good connections (I triple checked everything)
The property is 3 hours from my house, so I can't just run out and check on things easily. When I was out there setting up the system, I stayed for a week
and everything was running perfectly. Now I'm back home and I'm getting weird blips and spikes through the data logger (viewing on a browser through the
US server, not on the ShinePhone app).
I'm not connected to grid power, but a couple of times a day I'm getting blips of data about power being imported from the grid. Today, a sunny cloudless day, I got a spike showing 149 kilowatts
of production from my solar array and 7 kilowatts of load consumption, rather than the normal 900 watts it takes to run my internet router and air conditioner. I have the logger set up to report every 0.2 minutes, and the spikes typically only last one reporting interval.
Is the Wi-Fi dongle glitchy? Or is the data logger glitchy? Or should I be on the road right now to go fix a short that might be burning up my hardware and cabin?
