Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM-24P inverter need to be on when connected to Shore power

[bago0341]

I am looking to purchase a Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM-24P for my van conversion. When connected to shore power does the inverter need to be on to run my 120V systems or does it just pass through the 120V from the shore power connection? Also would the Growatt still charge my battery when the inverter is off and connected to shore power?

Thanks!

Not sure of that exact model, but most work for both AC charging/pass through and MPPT charging when in standby.

However, the Growatt AC charger is bit atypical.

Utility/Generator Charger tips:
The generator charger is a different beast to the solar charger. (Does not utilize the Bulk and Float Charge settings)
It works on a float valve type principle. (triggers when battery voltage drops below that on setting 12 – set the voltage higher than current battery voltage to start charging right away)
Stops charging from Generator when setting 13′ s voltage is reached
Will not start charging the battery again until it drops below battery voltage – in setting 12.
Setting 01 set to SBU to activate setting 12 and 13.
Setting 02, is the Max charging current from Solar + Utility/Generator
Setting 11, is the Maximum Generator/Utility charging current @ your battery voltage (not at 120V)
Setting 14, make sure this setting includes the option to charge from utility/generator (see manual)
Note, setting Setting 11 too high for your generator may cause your generator to falter at startup, and cause the Inverter Charger to lose synchronization with the Generator (58 to 63Hz), if in doubt start small, and work your way up.
