  1. Just a follow up from my own order, got it delivered within a couple of days. I am happy with the service from that perspective. Hope the unit works as advertised, will get around to that towards the weekend.
  2. @vwykj Did you resolve the order? I am considering to purchase the unit as well for my setup...
  3. Did you do the Factory reset after the firmware upgrade? Have no problem disabling the beep here.
  4. Contacted Growatt first to esquire and they insisted I need a growatt hub for parallel inverters. Never seen such a hub on sale here, but then again I did not shop for solar components till I wanted to install mine... Yes all the network splitters will say only one active at a time, but that is in network related terms, when you need to send massive ammounts of data over the splitter. We used to game/lan half life over splitters and dumb hubs and you really did feel the slow transfers then. For the inverters and bms however you don't need much, and as far as I could determine the communication is segmented already.

  6. Yes also have solar flashing below. Believe it indicates the source charching the battery.
  7. Just a note on the two inverters in paralell. Both inverters need to be connected to the batterie. Growatt sells a hub for this purpose. I have however used a plain RJ45 network splitter, ordered from RS components. That serve the same function. Just connect the bms cable from battery to the in side of the splitter and plug in 2x same length network cables to each of the inverters. Dont use a network switch hub! Unless you still have one of the old dumb hubs from way back. A swich will try and asign network adresses etc and you just want to duplicate the one line.
  8. Thanks to SiliconKid, I now have a functioning Inverter connected via the battery BMS! Had the first firmware he had already installed, but did not work yet. When I installed the second firmware, and did the factory reset, all worked.
  9. @PaulF007 Quite an impressive setup! just reading through what you got controlled there is inspiring me to do something similar! Control via Wifi? Was trying to find out if there are local suppliers for zigbee or some other wireless home automation (I am a bit protective of my wifi band width).
  10. Seems I am stuck at a similar spot where Sologas and ChrisLR was with the the battaries connected to the inverter, no error message but the batteries do not charge from the panels or from utilities (no connecting line between the panels and the battery or output shown). Also been in contact with Growatt over the last week or so, gotten a firmware update from them and applied it, but no luck yet... SiliconKid, hoping that I could get the firmware you have and try that? My system is a bit more complicated, as I actually have 2 x inverters in parallel (sounded great when I started off, but now wondering if I have not doubled my troubles....) Noted a few strange things also.... Seems the max current is set to 5 Amp when configured to the Li 02 option?
