  1. Ok. I know it's Saturday afternoon but it's the only time I had to check my system again. I changed it now to SUB to utilize my Solar more. Now all of a sudden my batteries only show 50% capacity. If I put it back to UTI then they show 100%. Anyone familiar with this problem??? I've changed setting 5 to Lithium, but it keeps changing by itself to Use.

  3. I won't know...
  4. Yes, I noticed. Saw it in the manual.
  5. Code 07...
  6. Yes, I agree. I think I should get the guy out again that installed the system.
  7. This is my status at the moment as per my phone App.

  9. OK. Sounds like a plan. I'm not home a the moment. Can do that later in the evening.
  10. I agree it doesn't look right. I have four 545W panels.
  11. I tried several options. I suppose I don't understand the system yet, because on some of the settings, the inverter tripped, even with ESKOM power on and available. That bogged my mind. Then I found that UTI works the best. It seems that I don't really save much on solar then. See me previous response wrt my current usage.
  12. Thanks for the response. At the moment the solar supplies 69W and the Network 3258W.
  13. I recently installed a Growatt SPF5000 ES with two Dyness Lithium Batteries. Since the installation of the system, the cooling fan of the inverter was running non-stop. The person that did the installation claimed it should be the case, but I cannot see any logic in it. That fan will not last if it doesn't stop running when the system is cold. BTW, the system is running cold all the time. When touching the case, it doesn't feel warm at all. I then decided to approach another agent for Growatt to add four Solar Panels to my installation, and also to see what is wrong with the system. He did the installation and couldn't get the fan to stop either. He mentioned that he thinks there might be something wrong with the inverter. Anybody with the same experience on a Growatt inverter? Or anyone that can give me advice on the settings. I played around with different settings to see if it stops, but no response. It is currently set for "UTI". Any response will be appreciated.
