  • Thought we'd had a really bad month, especially considering the weather we have been having lately. But it turns out we did better than last year.

    February isn't looking much better, so far anyway.

    Hey Ben, if at all possible could you film the process of swapping out the motherboard? Keep up with the good work

    As you mentioned growatt SPF 5000es draws 75w idle which is 1 kw near 12 hours night.Whats the new inverter consumption ? 20w?

    • @Bensgarage

      Looking at the app for overnight, it's about 8-10watts.

      @@Bensgarage That's massive difference.Did you tried any firmware update on growatt,it has many options with fan noise, lower starting voltage sor solar.I think its fans drawing unnecessary watts at idle/night when consumption is not needed.App measuring its not actual on the spot never the less you see the difference.

      @GreekSIMRACING I only tried updating the firmware when the growatt inverter started showing a fault, so I have not run it using the newer firmware. I have since been sent a new motherboard to try to get it up and running again, I'll try to do some more testing if I manage to fix it.

    Pylon Tech batteries only have 15 cells when most similar batteries have 16 cells. You beed to a 15 cell battery on your inverter to match the pylon tech.

      Inverter is set to 15 string, might try a firmware update and see if that makes a difference.

    How many panels do you have? 😁

      We have a string of ten (3800w), but I smashed one, so only nine are wired up at the moment.

      That is very good so you should have a lot of sun in the days I have 10 panels 5550w into strings, And this month, the top was 7600w so the girl what her original very good create me a lot of problems I want to switch to 10.2 kw inverter powmr I see you can connect to PV strings I’m not sure if it’s dual face
