Hello,
I purchased a signature-solar growatt 5000ES and has been working great. I wanted to collect statistics on the inverter and graph them, so after some reading on this forum I purchased an RS485 adapter and went that route. While waiting for my rs485 adapter to arrive, I tried connecting the supplied usb cable from growatt to a raspberry pi and was able to communicate with the inverter.
I decided to bundle up what I put together for someone else to save them some time and not have to screw around with the RS485 directly.
All you need is a raspberry pi and the usb cable included with your inverter. Should only take about 15 minutes to get the scripts up and running.
Enjoy!
