Just want to say thanks for all your time in making these detailed vids. I just got my Growatt but I'm currently just trying to buy all the hardware,wires and equipment. You pretty much did all the work for me,I just need to get it all together,plan out my set up& go. Got mine from Ian also but didn't wanna pummel him with 1,006 questions. I may hit u up a handful of times tho lol. 👍✌🌞

hello thanks for that video, one question: in Island mode , if it is dark and the battery is empty , does the growatt automaticly switch over to grid via the AC input port , to have power for all loads in the House? and have the growatt power supply from AC input for it self ? could the growatt work only with pv power , without a batterysystems?

Yes, The Growatt has a AC input and transfer switch, I don't think you can run the unit without batteries.

Thanks for making this video - it's really helpful. One question though, at 19 you can set the charge voltage cutoff, but after it cuts off at what voltage does it come back on again to begin charging? Is that also adjustable?

@Roll2Videos Жыл бұрын

It comes back on above the low voltage cut-off. If you have utility first on, the charging will happen when the battery is below the float voltage. Review setting #1 carefully.

Thank you for your video explaining the setting. I have GrowattSPF 3k x6 set up 3 inverters in each phase. 3 solar panels for each inverter to keep voltage and amperage manageable. I am using 12kwh 12v 250Ah batteries x 4 but does not have enough storage to run our household throughout the entire night or cloudy snowy days. I am switching over to LiFePO4 12v 260h x 6 as don’t want run generator for lack of storage or water pump. Do I need to charge the LiFePO4 batteries prior to connecting to my system. Thanks for your input.

Im watching your video and saw you set your battery at 28.8v? Would that stress your battery out being fully charged? Also did you build your won battery from the lifepo cells or already built batteries? Thanks great video for a newbie.............

@Roll2Videos Жыл бұрын

Welcome to the hobby. With LifePO4 I could charge upto 29.2v I'm being conservative at 28.8v. Check out the voltage curve on a lithium battery it's relatively flat I'm set to just after the curve up, Same with my bottom voltage it's just before the curve down. I'd say I'm between 20% to 80% SOC. I did build my own batteries I have more videos covering the builds. Are you planning to build your own solar setup?

Heres hoping you can help me understand the Growatt functionality, I have 2 12v LIFEPO4 batteries in series, they were fully charged and balanced with one another before being put into service, I have a shunt to monitor the charge of the battiers, what I cannot wrap my head around are the settings so I will share what I have and explain my issues, settin 1 sbu, 2 30amp, 03-ups, 05-us2, 10-2, 11-50amp, 12-25v, 13-28.5v, 14-snu, 19-28,8v, 20-28.8v, 21-23v, 22-sbe, . What I thought was the battery would charge with a combination of solar and grid, then when the solar was unavailable the grid would charge the batterys, however what happens is, when the battery falls below 25v the solar and grid combine to charge the battery but the charging stops at 28.5v instead of the 28.8v settings. this is where setting 13 & 19 are confusing, any help you can give would be appreciated :)

@Roll2Videos Жыл бұрын

Put your batteries in parallel and charge them to 14.6 to balance them. Sounds like one of the batteries BMS is stopping charging before the other. Don't try to charge to 100% and don't discharge to 0% also set your float lower.

@UnkyjoesPlayhouse Жыл бұрын

@@Roll2Videos actually I was told by the battery vendor to charge each battery independent of the other to 14.6, then connect them together in parallel for 12-24 hours to balance them, my problem is the Growatt stops charging at 28.5v instead of the 28.8v that I have it set to, thus the confusion on the settings of the growatt. The batteries are not shutting down, they will continue to charge if I change the 28.5v setting higher.

But on sol setting if your setting 12 is set on 23v you drain your lithium basically to 0 percent before it switch back to utility or grid power. Then it's not good setting it to sol if you have grid power as you drain your lithium to 0% daily on sol setting .

@Roll2Videos Жыл бұрын

I would say 20V is 0%. 2.5V per cell 8 cells. If you look at the discharge curve 23V is more like 20% SOC. 2.87V per cell @ 23V
