  2. Hi, How did you solve this. I have the same issue now. Where can i buy the BMS boards from?
  3. Hi Guys, I need some direction on how to troubleshoot error 19 on my system . I have the following. Growatt 5000es 3 x Dyness 5100 batteries 8 x 600w canadian Panels. The system has been running for a few years. This week. all batteries are dead. Reboot wont work. I get error 04, 19, 20. Master battery is on 36v. The 2 slaves are on 48v. The master no lights are on. On the slaves light 1 and 3 on the SOC meter are on. So i took the best battery (By voltage), made it master(dip 3 on) and disconnected the other 2. The inverter did not pick up the battery so i set the inverter(Menu item 5) to USR2 mode and kept the default charge and float values. The battery started to charge and came up to 53v. I then set it back to Li battery and protocol 52 but i get error 19. I also confirmed that the BMS cable is working by using a network tester. It also turned out to be a standard network cable. At this point im going to pick up a spare 5000es inverter from a friend and test. Pls help if you have any info on this. Thanks
  4. I might have a US3000C battery for sale in the next week or so for R18k. its 6 months old.
  5. Hi Ian, would you be interested in a 24v?
  6. Hi Coulomb, Thanks for the feedback. Yes those are lead acid batteries. Energizer EC37. The batteries were bought new 3 months ago. They still have the remainder of warranty on them. The inverter is also new. My friend bought this for own solar project and then decided to focus on other projects. Do you have a 12 V or 24 V charger? Yes I have a 12v charger Something to load a 12 V module? Im sure i can dig something up Do you have a decent multimeter? Yes i do have decent multimeters. I tested the voltage. They are on 12.6. I know thats not a true reflection of battery condition. I would need to see how it performs under load. But im pretty confident they good as they are only 3 months old.
  7. Hi Guys, Im new here. Look forward to being a part of this community and learning. Im based in jhb. I plan on doing a DIY Solar/inverter installation but still lots to learn before I get there. Im a big DIYer. Im no stranger to electronics, i know the basic principles. I know the installation needs to be certified so ill do the installation on my own and get a sparky to do the CoC. The point of doing it on my own is to learn, understand the system, understand the mechanics/calculations behind it and save cost while doing it. Its also handy to know how it works so you know how to fix it when things go wrong. I managed to get some basic kit at a bargain from a friend. 1 x 3kva axpert inverter 8 x 105ah energizer batteries I plan on running just the lights and the internet router/ access points and maybe a plug to charge cell phones. I have a gas stove and solar geysers. For now ill just be using it as a UPS during loadshedding. Ill add solar panels later and then try and use some power at night to reduce my eskom bill. Any advice is welcomed. Regards G
