  • Testing current draw on a 12v 100ah battery

    I'm going to be testing a few different 100ah batteries....Specifically, I'd like to test that they can support a constant discharge of 100 amps. I could hook up a large inverter and plug in a few loads but I was wondering if there is a better way. I could use one of these but it only goes up...
  • Used solar panels

    Made this video on getting used solar panels. I'd love any feed back. Thank you.
  • Furnace doesn't like AC power supplied from Growatt.

    My house gas furnace(120 volts ac) has the following start up process: Step 1) small vent fan turns on and to clear out any combustion gases before attempting to light burners ( around 20 seconds ). Step 2) Burners attempt to light for 3 seconds.(Gas flowing an spark ignition) Step 3a) After...
  • Can I over panel a Growatt?

    I have the growatt 3000 LMV 48es with the following specs: Max PV Input: 4,000W Max Charging Current: 80A Max MPPT Operating Voltage 250VDC It's my understanding that going over the MPPT Operating Voltage is the biggest factor that break things so i'm designing my 4 solar panel arrays...
  • Growatt ground screw not doing anything

    I have a growatt 3000 lvm 48p. It appears that my ground neutral bond screw is not doing anything. I believe if I remove the ground screw it should remove the ground neutral Bond. Also the bond between ground and neural is a weak bond (with resistance) Here a link to a video showing the issue...
  • Can LiFePO4 Batteries be charged below freezing

    I thought that you shouldn't charge LiFePO4 Batties below freezing temperatures. But I'm not sure what to believe anymore because... - this site/company says that it's possible: "When charging lithium iron phosphate batteries below 0°C (32°F), the charge current must be reduced to 0.1C and...
  • Fuse or diode or both for solar panels in parallel

    I am installing a bunch of panels in parallel. For simplicity let's just say I'm installing 10 100 Watt single panels in parallel. It is my understanding that I need a fuse between each parallel panel to prevent back-feeding a panel just in case the said panel has a short. Doesn't a...
  • Solar panel configuration: 2s3p VS 3p2s

    The below diagram shows a 2s3p & 3p2s solar configuration respectively(at least I think that's what the configurations are called). I wired my 6 solar panels using the bottom example(3p2s) but afterwards I realized that I could wire them in a 2s3p configuration(top example). Are these...
  • Eg4 6000xp not showing num batteries In parallel

    This is a question for those who have a 6000 XP with the communication to the eg4 batteries. I have a 6000 XP. And when I bring the app up on my phone it is not showing the number of batteries I have in parallel. It's also not showing my battery capacity. Does anyone see this data on their...
  • Growatt 3000 lvm 48es not handling simple 3700 watts of in rush current.

    I had a Growatt lvm 3000 48P and a single lifepower4 48v 5.12kwh battery. I was able to plug my 30a RV into the growatt and could start and run my Air Conditioner just fine. I could run the air conditioner with only the battery connected and no solar. 31 amps inrush current coming out of the...
