AlexSolar got a reaction from Antonio de Sa in Charger source priority for Growatt SPF5000ESDone guys ! Thank you for the inverter configuration.
Now i can charge my battery while Pv are connected and sun is poor.
Attached you can see an Example

AlexSolar got a reaction from Buyeye in Charger source priority for Growatt SPF5000ESHi Guys,
Sorry for my response delay due to some diseases
thank you for your help. Configured now my inverter has you tell me. Before that, program 1 was to SUB.
I define program 11 to 70A. SPF 5000 ES :Default 30A, 0A~80A Settable. I set to 70A to avoid to be close that the charging limitation of my inverter.
Yes, i'm totally autonomous. Leaving outside of city, in middle of forest. No grid, and water connexion. I'm using Water drilling, and PV solution, and Starlink !
Thank for you help guys. I'll keep you informed

AlexSolar got a reaction from Buyeye in Growatt SPF-5000-ES and Diesel GeneratorHello My friend,
Connecting the Inverter to the Generator is not hard. Look in the manual about "Dry Contact Signal" instead of ATS.
The Dry contact is like a simple light switch. When the inverter tell that the battery is low, then the dry contact switches to another position.
You can wire it as on->off or off->on depending on your own system and your generator.
But, in my experience, i removed the automation between my inverter and my generator for many reasons.
The main reason why i unrecommend is that if i'll do that, my wife and my childs won't integrate that we need to change our living usually to have a better carbon impact.
Wiring automatically my generator will say " Don't worry, the current will never shut down, keep the light switch on, and computer switch on"....
Because we decided to left the city to increase our quality of life. That means making an effort and burning fuel free to think about it is the worst.
Hope it help you.

AlexSolar got a reaction from zsde in Growatt SPF-5000-ES and Diesel GeneratorFor thoses which dont understand why the inverter limit battery charging, don't forget to update the parameter 11. (Maximum utility charging current).
You need ton increase this value and set a value between SPF 5000 ES :Default 30A, 0A~80A Settable.
Take care.

AlexSolar got a reaction from Energy-Jason in Growatt SPF-5000-ES and Diesel GeneratorHi,
After solving my problem with this great forum, I'm back with another question. This time, about diesel generator.
I recently bought a diesel Generator because in French Guiana, you can easly have more than 5 days of cloud cover. In my case, i'm completely autonomous and I don't have Grid power due to my isolated location. I have connected the diesel Generator to my inverter using AC input. But when i'm starting the generator, my inverter won't connect his power and indicates no current. Only voltage and frequency are displayed on the inverter screen. In the manual, I saw that normally there is a link between AC IN and the inverter on screen. In my case nothing append. Here is a picture of when the generator is running.
As you can see, they are no current in the AC input
This is my generator :
My configuration is :
1 x Inverter Growatt 5kW 48V - MPPT 100A - SPF5000-ES 10 x Solar PV 400W Mono - Vertex S - TrinaSolar 4 x battery Lithium 2.4kWh - US2000C - Pylontech 48V - 50Ha
If someone has any experience about this problem or any feedback, please help me to find a way.
thanks for reading at all.

AlexSolar got a reaction from zsde in Growatt SPF-5000-ES and Diesel GeneratorDone ! finally i found the Inverter parameter. I fail myself.
You need to update configuration in menu 3 and set Generator for AC input voltage range (GEN). Appliance selected by default (APL).
If this thread can serve someone else, please keep it.
thanks for reading.
