The Inverter, Growatt Off Grid SPF 3000TL LVM-ES, needs 120vdc to start; would the 132 volts of this setup do that job? Also, would 12 gauge wire work for these specs, running 40' to the inverter?

Do I have this layout correct/best? If yes, can I use 12 gauge wire for this? (it needed to travel about 40' to the inverter) Thanks

I’m looking to set up solar panels; the layout I am looking at will produce 264 Open Circuit Volts. My inverter specs read “250 Maximum PV Array Open Circuit Voltage” Would you go ahead with this setup? Do you consider this a risky setup? Thanks

Thank you, Travis, for getting right on this, and, thank you Goose for posting the details of another customer's experience with this same issue; I'm sure it helped get things resolved. I just got a call from Signature Solar and they will be sending me a brand new battery. Grateful. Five days...

Super grateful for the response, thank you

I put a Kill-A-Watt tester inline with my new Signature Solar EG4, 48V 18A Battery Charger and it's only pulling 9.4 amps. I've made 3 calls and 2 tech support emails over the last week with no help coming from Signature Solar. I'm I missing something about how this thing is supposed to...

Many thanks for your time! Background Data: I have a small shipping container project with 4000 watts of solar panels going into two EG4-LifePower4 Lithium Batteries, with a Growatt 3kW Off-Grid Inverter. Through the summer the panels provided plenty of power for the small load of everything in...

Thanks Matt

Does the Growatt SPS 3000TL LVM-ES fan run on, what seems like high all the time the inverter is turned on? (the room temperature is 60 degrees Fahrenheit and the humidity is 30% - I did a shut down and restart, still running) Thank you very much.

Interesting... Got it, thanks!

Good to know this data, justinjja. Thank you

I'm in Northern California, Justinjja. rmaddy, super the details help. okay so it's looking like with the heat of 100F and used panels the 2600 watts is understandable. In researching the tilt for summer at my exact location this came up as ideal (they will go up to 31 degrees on October first...

My system is up and running for a few days and at mid-day, with full sun, and a clear sky, I’m seeing the inverter reading of about 2600 watts input from 4000 watts of solar panels. Below are more details. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM-ES-48 Inverter Max...

Do the warranties transfer? If yes, I'm interested in two batteries (in case you get another person wanting the rack and one battery)

Thank you, good to know

The back half of 40' is storage, and garden supplies, and the front is a small studio apt for when my kid visits. Looks good.

Man... Thanks... Yeah, the shipping container project is fun... A bit of a challenge keeping a big metal box cool, but it's working out. Good wishes with your bms communication challenge!

Thanks copec... Does the reading I'm seeing 13.6kw/h mean that at that rate of charge, in one hour it will produce 13.6kw/h's?

Super Beginner here, I took my first steps over the past 4-5 months putting together a small system; 4000 watts of panels on the roof of a shipping container, two Growatt Inverters (only one in use - the second is for expanding the system), and two EG4 batteries. Now it's time to understand...

So for this setup - I am to connect Neutral to Ground in the Panel? Do I then need to connect it to a grounding rod? TIA

Thanks, Smooth Joey, My intention is to have the neutral and ground separate. Grounding to a ground rod. Will this work for having the charger always connected to the grid?

Thanks, BentleyJ - Do I understand this "EG4 charger set to something like 54.8-55.2V for a 24hr cycle, this will give the BMS some time to balance" that I hook up the charger to the bus bar and let it do it's balancing over a 24 hour period? Also, the charger doesn't have adjustments to set...

I have two EG4-LifePower4 48v Lithium Batteries, and one Growatt 3kW Stackable Off-Grid Inverter (the 2nd inverter in the photo is for future expansion). I have Bus bars to arrive soon in the mail. My questions are: Do I need to Top Balance the batteries? If yes, what is the best way to do...

Thank you

Interested in one that would hold four server rack batteries. Need interior dimensions. Location Shipping cost Thanks

Thank you both, for your replys!

I'm ready to purchase two 48V 100AH batteries for a shipping container set up which has 4k in solar panels and two Growatt 3k off-grid inverters. Looking at many of the batteries available the EG4-LifePower4 Lithium Battery | 48V 100AH for $1499.00 seems to be the best deal. $1,499.00 If...

Super, thank you for the detailed pricing.

Nice project. I'm looking to possibly build a similar large battery with 6 Signature Solars EG4 8-Cell Pack Lithium Cells | 25.6V 100AH Would you be willing to share what the project will cost? Thanks

Hello, I’m scaling down my intentions of supplying all my power use, to simply get started and power this shipping container at this time. And, thank you so much, for any help you can offer! I have (10) 400 watt, Mono panels, 10 amps, 51 volts, which are to go on top of an 8’ x 40’ shipping...

Thank you!

Okay, I'm back with a refined plan, which is to start small, covering the 40' container roof with panels (I can get 10 up there). So I'm seeing these Panasonic 360 Watt Solar Panels listed locally for $130.00, they are new. They have 14 available. From my unknowledgeable perspective, it seems...
