[SOLD] 12kw Growatt 12000T DMV MPV 🔻 Sold

That's where It'll land eventually but I don't have enough PV yet to abandon the grid.

I haven't abandoned the grid completely, yet.
But my Chargeverter is the only connection to the grid.

Added more panels and a Growatt sc48120 charge controller to the spf6000t. Only had two winter days where any power had to come from the grid, to run the shop. SolarAssistant works with the Growatt spfxxxxt line and if you have a newer sc48120, it is supposed to also work with that.

Guess we're keeping this add bumped up for the seller. Did I mention the 12k is very good at starting heavy loads???

The spf12000t has two mppt’s, I’m currently using one. Have 10 more 410 watt panels for the other mppt but haven’t gotten to putting them up yet. The spf6000t it replaced is still good and mounted on the wall to be used as a backup or a third charge controller if needed.

The Growatt spf is excellent for starting high induction loads. It runs the 1 hp well pump, 1 refrigerator, 3 freezers, and 2 mini split hvac units while maintaining the rest of the house without a single complaint.

I'm enjoying reading the conversation I got a nibble this morning; outside of the forum. Hopefully they come through.

Biggest enjoyment out of the 12000t compared to the 6000t was the ability to handle multiple loads during a surge. With the 6000t I couldn't run the house + have the microwave or coffee maker going "then" the deep well pump kick on. The surge from the deep well pump would trigger the overload.

The 6000t met my needs except for a total failure to re-train the warden in load budgeting. No dear, you can't run the toaster oven and microwave while making coffee and running hot water and drying your hair with every light in the house on. With the 12000t, she CAN do all those things at once...and does! It's impossible to tell we're not still on the grid.

My only regret is not getting the mpv version of the 12000t like you have for sale. It would have made connecting PV much easier.

Lol precisely! I'm about to have a family and having to re-train everyone in load budgeting was not a journey I wanted to embark on . Reading someone else having the exact experience I only brainstormed about is epic

You're making this pretty tough ...

If I wasn't in a pickle; I'd rather keep it than lose this much money LOL. My loss your gain though; I'd be happy just to find it a good home

Just got back from St. Louis, hitting the shower, then bed. Maybe some sleep will bring me to my senses.

I’m just glad you’re multiple states away and shipping costs prevents my temptation

Yeah lowest I've found was $150 to New Mexico from Dexter, MO. That's as long as no lift gate is required on either end.

Transformers inside the larger Low frequency inverters can get heavy. But definitely are worth it for the surge capacity : longevity.

yeah my magnums were right at the weight limit for shipping at 65 lbs. I was hoping to pick up another LF inverter to use for my dump load water heater.

Communication board failure.
The one with the USB and dry contacts.

The 6000T was my first inverter. Never had any problems with it and never tried to update it either. I just decided to upgrade to the 18kpv, which is a safer box. I still have it for a back up as I still do not have any utility connection to either inverter.
