Thanks Pala, What cable are you using between the inverter and the battery?

Hi, I’m diy’ing the same Growatt 5000es with a CFE5100s Li battery. Can you please assist with the communication cable setup? Do I reverse the rj45 wiring on either side or is it same for both ends Thanks Ayub

Thanks for the forewarning mzezmen & PowerUser - now to ponder on a bigger battery once off purchase, rather.

On a SA solar website and hence my concern... Yip, very confusing for newbies like me - lots of terminology and technology to contend with. Seems like the best to is to look at a paired solution that's on sale to see compatibility (for now)

Okay - glad to hear, so that I'll also be going a 4.8kWh initially (there's such a range of batteries out there each with their different warranty periods - hence my concern). Ito of brands, probably Dyness or Pylon. But I see there's an 7.2 kWh LCB battery for about R15,000.

Yes, but will expand to include solar panels. If something goes wrong with one large battery then I’m stuck and have to replace it versus having a few smaller ones and if one of them faults then only that one needs to be repaired but the system can still operate.

HI, thanks for all the information - very informative! I'm starting off too and was thinking about what would be more effective - installing a single large battery or getting a smaller one and adding more batteries later? Any advice, please Regards Ayub
