  3. Hi community, Anyone with experience with Photon Lithium iron batteries especially model PTN-BAT-05K-WM- LFP. I installed 2 of the above batteries to a 6kw Growatt inverter but no guidance on how to set these batteries on the Growatt inverter. Any help or pointers will be appreciated Thank you

    Hello all, I am a novice when it comes to Solar but I need some advice on expanding battery storage capability. Installed a 5000W PV array less than a year ago over a 8KW Victron inverter and 7Kwh pylontech batteries (2 x 3.5kwh). Now ready to increase battery storage to 21Kwh from 7 Kwh and also add additional PV arrays to take advantage of the 8KW viltron inverter. Meaning I will be adding an additional 4 x 3.5kwh to the battery bank. My questions are: 1). How many 3.5KWh pylontech batteries can I connect together in parallel without making the interconnecting cables too hot and starting a fire? I have heard of cases where people connected 6 ZTE batteries (3.5KwH) together and cables were getting hot and melting. I don't know if this will be the case with the pylontech brand. I will definitely employ the services of a professional to do the job but just like to have an idea of what is to be done before embarking on the project. 2). Can I go above 8KW on my PV Array since my inverter is 8KW without having any issue? Plan is to add additional 3600W or 5600W depending on available space. 3). What other advices or tips can you give me based on my system configuration above. Thank you all in advance. Much Appreciated. Danny
