I have 4 Growatt SPF 5000 ES inverters, 30 - 395W panels and 30Kwh of LiFe 48V batteries. At first when I start up my system 1 of my 4 inverters would not start up with PV power as it should . They all do start up when the inverter is turned on and seem to work correctly. After about 3 week I noticed 3 of my 4 inverters now would not start up with PV power. The problem with this is the ones that will not start with PV power also will not work as the host inverter. No matter which one I set up as host (I do start it first) the system will switch the host to the only inverter that starts with PV. Growatt has stated through Signature Solar that an Inverter update would fix the problem. All 4 inverters were updated with the help of SS, however, the problem still exist with the same 3 inverters. I'm worried about what will happen if the 4th inverter develops the same problem. Has anyone had this problem and if so how did you get it fixed. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
