Interesting.Then that very well may be the trend if UL listing becomes the name of the game for batteries. A UL listing may be the only way to qualify under NEC 2020.
EDIT:
I just checked the CEC website and Growatt inverters. are not listed there. Perhaps you should fact check before posting something like that on a public forum if you have not verified the facts. So much for Renvu selling only CEC approved equipment. I have bought lots of stuff from Renvu that was not "UL listed and CA certified".
Growatt was all over the CEC list when I last checked this Spring but they are completely gone now (while Goodwe is all over the place).
So Growatt must be blacklisted and I suspect it may have something to do with the Autotransformer hack to convert their 230V single-phase into a 120V split-phase (of Signature Solar fame).
Don’t blame Renvu - they probably spent months setting up supply agreements and getting inventory established from the moment Growatt first got approved earlier this year. No idea when the blacklist dropped but Renvu may not even know (as didn’t I).
It should be a warning to any attracted to cheap Chinese equipment that makes it into the CEC list - mistakes happen and if they approve equipment based on vendors mistaken/false assertions, they can drop that vendor off of the list the moment a misrepresentation and/or oversight is brought to light…
I remember being surprised to see Growatt on the list this Spring knowing all the debate that was going on on this Forum as fas as whether the split-phase architecture being promoted by they and Signature Solar was up to snuff or not…
I’m going to start tracking those 400V Growatt batteries on Renvu - I suspect they’ll end up needing to give them away .
