Hi Tsa, Have you changed any settings on you setup since this post and is your system still running as it should? I'm having some challenges with the "USE" settings that was done by the installer and want to try the "Li" settings. Thanks Joe.

At some point the inverter settings was setup so that a USE option was working with setting 12, 13, 20 & 21 configured manually but, then there was a firmware update loaded and everything changed.. Now i can't remember what it was. See screenshot of last good working configuration. As you can see the battery was not doing much, and the PV was taking care of the load. As

Good day, Can anyone please help and tell me how to setup my 5KW Growatt inverter to use solar more efficiently and directly to cover the load. At the moment the Panels are only charging the Pylon-tech battery and then using the battery to cover the load. I've attached a picture of what that looks like. I would like the PV array to cover the load first and then make use of the battery to cover any shortfall. Current settings are: 1. SBU. 5. Li (L02) 12. 50% 13. 95% 14. OSO Thanks Joe.

Thanks guys. I'm definitely changing to proper fuses.

Thanks for everyone's input.. I think we found the problem, which i'll get fixed asap by installing proper 160A fuses. I also just spoke to my installer, he confirmed that he needs to do a software update on the inverter too.

In other words, the way its connected now, it will never work the way it supposed to. .?

Hi Coulomb, Is the 150A rating for a single cable or split 3ways, so it becomes 50A per connection going through the fuse/breaker? If it's 50A per line and only positive & negative passing through, does it mean that it can only handle 2400w. (50A x 48V=2400W) and it's tripping if it exceeds the watts?

Hi Vassen, The cables are AWG4 1000v. The normal cables that comes with the US 3000 battery.

Hi, I'm also new to the solar system environment. I hope someone can advise me here. I have a Growatt 5Kw inverter paired with 3.5kwh pylontech battery. (plans to upgrade storage later) and connected to 6x 380w solar panels, the setup is mostly aimed at load shedding and power interruptions. I found that my DC breaker between the battery and inverter trips when the loads exceed 2500W. It's a 150A three way CBI DC breaker. (see picture) 1. What size DC breaker is recommended between the battery and inverter for this combination? From what I understand, the grid should kick in and pick up the increase in load if the battery can't handle it. (which it should be ) 2. Is there a specific setting that I need to change in order for the grid to assist automatically with heavier loads. The inverter setup is as follows. 1.SOL, 4.SdS, 5.LI_L02, 14.OSO. Everything else is set to default and seems to work just fine. Thanks Joe.
