About every 15 minutes or so my inverter chirps. There is no lights or codes or anything when this happens. Any ideas why?

I have three 51.2 ruixu batteries that I love. I am thinking of adding onto that system. I want to dabble into building a diy setup. If I got 16 of the 280ah diy cells and built a battery, can they be hooked to a bus bar with my ruixu s? Would it matter that that battery is 280ah?

Not sure if this is the correct thread location. Sorry if it's not. I am looking to add onto my panels. I currently have 18, 240 or 250 watt panels on my roof. This is max input for my growatt. However now that I have my property completely cleared and building built etc I want to add on to...

I reached out to dexter earlier in the week about some of his batteries. He immediately responded and said he would have one of his guys reach out to me. Jason called me, answered my questions and he put together a quote based on which batteries he thought would work the best for me. The next...

This has got to be the worst company I have dealt with. I received my batteries around the 18th of December. I couldn’t get them to work on my Growatt. I contact SS for them to tell me that the 48v EG4 waterproof batteries are dangerous, doesn’t recommend using them with my Growatt system. Tech...

I bought these batteries from @SignatureSolarJess a couple weeks back. I have had nothing but issues with these things. SS is returning them etc. However I was just looking at the side of the batteries and noticed in the corner it says li-ion. Why? Also none of the CV or float voltage they...

Do these numbers look good for a “100%” charged battery? It’s been off of the charger for 30 minutes.

I hooked up new eg4 lithium batteries today. I previously had lead acid. I set to parameters that signature solar recommended. However now when the sun goes down, the unit switches to grid power. No matter what parameters I change, it won’t run off the batteries unless i turn off incoming grid...

I bought these batteries below. Are these ok to be put inside my house? https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-wp-lithium-battery-48v-100ah

I am looking at building my own server rack using AOlithium batteries. From what I gathered from Will's videos, he didn't like the small gauge wire. So my question: if I build a rack out wood (I'm a woodworker) and got copper bar stock. Take the bar stock and made two bus bars out of it. (One...

I am upgrading from lead acid to lithium. My FLA now are 48v 390ah setup. I would like to do something similar and when more $$ is available add to it. What are a good recommendations? There are so many!!! Signature solar has 48v 100ah batteries for $999 but was told that they're not...

Happy Thanksgiving y'all I have my well pump (1hp) about 300-400' from my house. I am finally about to close my power company account. The grid currently powers my well. What is a good solar setup that I can do over at the well? I have 2 extra 250w panels from when I did my house setup. I...

I have a 6k aio. I have attached the manual below. Today is my first time having AC input hooked up. My question/ observation is.. I have it set so when my battery hits 49 volts, ac input kicks on. This will happen around 10 or 11 at night. However, I don't want it charging my batteries at "x"...

I have crown 390ah batteries. (8) 6v for my 48v system. They are about 9 months old. I would like to expand my battery bank. Will it hurt if I add another set of 8 to my system?

As stated above, I have a growatt 6k system. There are days that my system may run down to 47.5-48 volts with no sun for a couple of days. When this happens, my unit sometimes won't start charging via solar the next sunny day. I have to turn my unit off and restart it. Any suggestions?

So we are getting a really cold snap. My voc on my panels are 37.6 times 6 panels in series for 226v. (Though I haven't seen more than 205v) My growatt has a max of 250v. The temp is dropping to around 20 degrees @0700. The calculator factor puts me over to around 255v. What can I do? Turn my...

I recently did a 48v growatt system for my house and it turned out great. I am looking for recommendations on another property. I need to be able to run my well pump, run led lights on camper and charge phones. I have two 250w panels that I want to utilize for this. What are your recommendations?

As you probably already know, I have a growatt 6k split phase system. I have no grid power, fully off grid. With AC OUTPUT ON, NO WIRE CONNECTED, checking ground to neutral with multimeter, no continuity. This means there is no ground/ neutral bonding, correct? With wire connected, from ground...

My batteries are severely discharged and the battery engineer said I need to run a generator on my system until the batteries become fully charge. I have a 6k growatt split phase mpv unit. I am fully off grid. My only generator source is my 2000 Watt inverter gen. How can I hook up this 120v...

I have a a 6kw split phase system. 4500 watts of panels. I recently had to replace my control board. Since then my "battery charged" light never quits flashing. Prior to replacement of the board, it would be charged by noon or so. I have crown 390ah batteries, 6v- 48v system. Here are my...

I have had an issue with my growatt giving off a fault 4 code. On Fri, I spoke to growatt and was told to do an update on the system. They sent over the system update and I did this update. The update didn't take and wiped everything out. No power, lost stuff in the freezer etc. Completely off...

I got a fault code #4 today. Battery voltage 49.5 but AC output dropped to 229v instead 240v.

Last night I was running the table saw and I got a low output voltage code. I reset it and it was fine after that. This morning I noticed a drip of water appeared to be water but it was Gooey. Here is a picture of the inside where it appears to be dripping from. Any ideas

Ok so I have had my growatt 6k split phase up and running for a few days. It has been running good. Checked all of the outlets and all has been good. So a few minutes ago the TV in the kitchen area goes out. GFCI in the kitchen trip. AIO unit makes a beep. I here what sounds like an arc from...

First off I want to just thank everyone who helped me along the way of installing my system and all. I have 8 crown 6v batteries for my growatt 6kw split phase system. I am going through my system settings. I am not hooked to grid. 1. What should my charge amps be? Charge Voltage? 2. What...

So we are going to be getting hit by a hurricane this week. And was wondering what are solar panels rated for wind wise? And will hail affect them

IF I decide to put it in the house, how do you all run the wires through the wall the make it look clean?

Couple questions: 1. Should I put my combiner box on the roof with my panels or should it be in the shed with controller/ batteries? I'm assuming with the panels. 2. From my panels to my shed will be 25-30 foot of run. What wire size do I need? 3. From shed to my service hookup at the house...

I am in the middle of building our house and was wondering if my growatt inverter can be mounted inside the house and house the batteries outside in a small lean-to against the house?? I'm trying to finish the house but would be nice to have power. I will essentially build a shed away from the...

So I have a 6kw growatt split phase system. I originally wasn't going to hook up any type of grid power. After talking it over with the boss, she thinks we should go ahead and hook it up as backup just in case. Our power pole that runs shed/ barn is on one property and our house is on the other...

Who out here has a recipe for some of the good biscuits and gravy they make in the "holler" of Kentucky, west Virginia? I remember as a kid going to visit family up there eating these biscuits and gravy. I remember the biscuits being cooked on the top of a wood stove in cast iron.

I have 20 250 watt panels. I have several acres of field where I can put them. We live in south Georgia. The area where I'm thinking of had sun by 830 this morning and is still in the sun as of 1830 now. Should I do half of the panels facing east and the other half west. Or face them south? Thanks

Good afternoon y'all, Thank you for allowing me on the forum. I hope to learn a lot of things on here. I have been following on YouTube for awhile. So as the title says, I am building a 1200sqft house. It's actually 1024sqft with a loft. I am looking for a recommendation on a complete solar...
