My config ran for months sans issue and then literally sh*t itself out the blue without warnings or even load at the time it died. Luck of the draw perhaps, but trawling other forums and this one too, the brand is clearly notorious for just not being reliable or in fact safe. Perhaps, like most things I guess, it's not a matter of if but rather when it fails. All I know is I'm left with zero trust and confidence in anything Growatt based on my opinion formed by my bad experience. @LumexClipsal Maybe I'm just lucky with mine, my all house is connected to the inverters no split DB, I only have one 5 KW/h battery so every now and then I have to change parameters between SBU and SUB, when there is load shedding and the wife wants to use the oven. I manage every day to heat up my 200 L 3 KW geyser. and charge the battery to 100% SOC. I really like the inverters, as I said before touch wood that nothing goes drastically wrong with mine. My house daily consumption averages 25 KW and I import from grid +_ 5 KW a day, I'm saving +_ 20 KW a day which amounts to just over R 1.000,00 a month. that is tremendous savings.

Now I have lost all my faith in this inverter brand... not sure what to do next. Oh dear, so sorry to hear that. Who did your installation in SL? Are they covering the 3rd replacement under warranty?

Yes it was covered, this time both the MPPT board and Main board were changed. The installation seems compliant but now I'm closing the inverter when the humidity level is too high and will build a ventilated aluminum and clay cooled cabinet around.

So you reckon there was condensation build up on the board?

A normal anti condensation heater of about 80W should keep a cubicle dry. Adding a small fan should ensure no moisture.
