Good Day All I have 2 x Growatt SPF 600es PLus inverters + 4 x Shoto SDC10-Box5 batteries which is giving me endless hassles. I am unable to get proper comms running between the inverters and batteries and following all instructions in the manuals and google searches is not seeming to assist. Battery 1 : Dip Switch 5 is turned on, and inverter is set to Lithium program 51 which them sort of gives me comms. but i do occasionally have instances whereby the batteries would just switch off randomly during the night. What is the correct dip switches for the batteries and inverter settings to get them to communicate properly. I also have solar assistant, which I want ideally to communicate with the batteries if possible.

HI All. I have a Kodak OG10 inverter running 4 x Pylontech 5000 batteries. Connected 2 batteries per string. 3 of the batteries is 2 years old and 1 is a year old. String 1 running 1 x old (slave) and 1 x new battery(Master) is the problem. String 2 is running perfectly together (Both Slave). Everything is controlled via Solar Assistant. This morning, I noted that Battery 1 is @ 12% state of charge and charging, while battery 2 is at 3% and discharging. Battery 3 and 4 on 15% and 16% and charging Why would 1 battery be at 3% while the rest is more or less on the same SOC, and why would it be discharging while the rest is charging. I can confirm all batteries does charge up to 100% when charging

Hi All, solar beginner here. I have noticed some strange behavior on my inverter. Firstly even though I have efficient solar power, it keeps on using eskom to supplement the load. If I switch the main switch off feeding the inverter, only then will it start using 100% solar power. Second issue is my batteries never drain below 65%, how do I change this? Setup as follow: Kodak OG10 Inverter 3 x Pylontech US5000 Batteries 12 x 545w JA Solar Panels
