Hi All, Just wanted to report that I went on the Signature Solar site and ordered the eg4 battery firmware updater which was free after a coupon code. I used it today and had all 4 of my batteries updated in less than 10mins, it runs about a minute each, but I watched a how to video again...

thanks I'll investigate it further.

Thanks all for the Replies. Merry Christmas, if that’s your thing

Hello, So poor planning on my part. I didn’t get my system up and producing till late September and in my days of plotting the best location in my backyard I didn’t consider or know how the Sun would be lower in the winter months. And while the leaves have fallen off the trees and giving me...

Might make the neighbors that own them mad. LOL

Hi so Im finishing up my system I have a Growatt 5000es with 4 (48volt) Eg4 batteries, (3 in Eg4 rack and 1 on top). I have 2 gage cables from the Battery rack bus bars direct to the Growatt currently, each battery has its own fuse so i wasn't sure if i could just put in a battery cut off switch...

Thanks for the response . OK so it sounds like it i get more constant power by keeping all the panels the same or at least closer, But here is what the other info is: 370W panels are VOC 41, VPM 34.2, IMP 10.82 450W panels are VOC 50.30, VPM 41.40, IMP 10.87

I have a Growatt 5K Inverter connected to my EG4 Lifepower, non LCD, batteries for a while. Now adding the Solar assistant but If I change the Dip switches on the 1st Battery off Zero for the Growatt will it still talk with the Growatt or do I disconnect it from the Growatt and just have the...

Hello I just ordered from Texas a Growatt SPF 5000ES, 2 x Eg4 48v 100Amp batteries, and the transformer to balance 120volts. This is my 1st dive into solar and wish to start out as a UPS for a Well pump and a few select 120 loads. I will locate system in my unfinished basement about 30 feet away...

Thanks for the quick replies. I will check those out. I will only be receiving power from the grid, not sell back. I also may have figured out why I got a may have felt the power off the box. Today I turned it on but did not feel anything when I touched the box but I still meter some voltage on...

Small highjack, does this put out 6k on both L1 and L2?

Thanks for the reply, once I discount the Batteries from the Growatt port should set the Groawtt #5 to something else so it wont keep looking for batteries and giving me comm errors?

Hello I currently have 6 Znshine 370watt panels on a ground mounted system. I want to add 4 more of the same but saw these other panels that are close in spec but Bi-facial which would may work well with my ground mount. I would like to mount 4 the Aptos panels and 2 of my current Znshine panels...

Hello I currently have 6 panels on unistrut on a Wood base. I have a small 16 gage wire connected to a point on the unistrut running to my nearby pool equipment ground wire. I am researching for panel ground connectors and wire but wasn't sure of how large of a gage I will need if i put a...

hello I have a growatt 5000es system and currently have a 6x 370w panel array, I’m adding an additional 6 of the same panels soon. I was thinking of running them as either 6s2p or maybe a 8 panel series and a 4 panels series because of mounts, Then parallel down 100’ of 10 gage wire that is in...

thanks for the replies sorry I took so long to say that

I just finished building my array outside and now about to start build of system inside. I have the Growatt At5000 not the solar edge transformer I see a lot of videos on. The directions that come with is show a break between it and the output of the Inverter. I also see lots of people worried...

Hello Just wanted to add that I am still having this problem and finally have time again to think about it. To recap the solar assistant is up and running fine but I can only access it locally as didn't set up the proxy server right and it stills lists my site a .XX. instead of .US. I got my...

I think my panel are enough I hope. ZNShine Solar 370W Solar Panel 120 Cell ZXM6-NH120-370/M Rated Power Output 370 W Voltage (VOC)41 V Cell number120 cell

Hi, got a quick question about breakers, in 4 parts. I have seen a couple of different recommendations for the growatt 5000 ES. I’m about to start my setup with a grid connection. Equipment : Growatt spf 5000 es Growatt 5kw Split phase Transformer ATS 5000T-Us So for simplicity -From...

i have it on but stop let it monitor the batteries as it was allowing to completely drain, curentyl stil haev it on but allow my Growatt to monitor battery settings using the Growatt module as well. Also still havent been able to work with it outside on home network and SA serivce is spare and...

I believe they remove that N-G screw inside the inventer when they run these in a series, however this was bought from Sig. Solar and is the US version so that is not in use internally i believe.

I have sent 3 emails over the past week to SA customer service, buts it’s been radio silent so I guess no remote access for me..

Hello, I currently have 6 x 370watt @ 41VOC panels up for a year now. I discovered that my 6 six panel array was not ideally located for winter and last year took 4 of these panels to different part of yard. This year I wish to leave main 6 panel array alone and add 4 new panels at my winter...

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll look into that but i think i found the problem with my site registration. Its not showing any proxy. it shows (solar name.XX.solar.assistant.lo.) but should be, (solar name.US.solar.assistant.lo.) cant seem to change the proxy. Do i need to re-flash it?

Update, from reading this entire post and finding tidbits in others here is what i did after a few hours away from this. First off the inverter is up and running on 67-03-630 /068-03-630 after 1st NEW attempt. -Discounted my WiFi dongle so the usb connection won’t not conflict -Plugged in UBS...
