AC inverter charge: I have setting 50 on 0103 first two digits: Start hour: 01h00 the last two: End hour 03h59 testing will be if this does not break
October 26, 20223 yr Author Growatt Setting 50 does not work. I have setting 50 on 0103 first two digits: Start hour: 01h00 the last two: End hour 03h59 as soon as i hit enter. lost entire power to the house. Put it back to default 0000. can you share your settings @buyeye?
October 27, 20223 yr @Moffat When we renovated our house I insulated all our hot water pipes to reduce heat loss and insulated the geyser in the roof as well. Was a mission but definitely makes a difference. I see that they have one with an adhesive now so you can put them on the pipes without having to separate everything, makes things a lot easier Edited October 27, 20223 yr by Sc00bs

The last sentence states " AC output power is prohibited (Probably meant to say inhibited) outside of this period." Thus this setting 50 allows a user to shut down any AC output power outside the period defined in the setting. So in effect your inverter shut off the AC exactly as stated/intended. I don't believe this setting was ever added to achieve what you want to achieve. Edited October 27, 20223 yr by zsde

I don't believe this setting was ever added to achieve what you want to achieve. you're correct, I read and understood it wrong. based on what the others say about. Then for my use case: Ensure that eskom powers the house between 02h00 and 05h00 am. there is now way that this can be achieved on Growat without manually changing the charge priority to SUB. Parameter 50 as now i understand it. will turn of power to anything that is outside of that time set.

In Solar Assistant a Power Management function has been provided that could solve your issue. I don't use it as my set up is off-Grid completely. But for someone that has the grid connected, SA allows you to manage and define your battery and grid use. It is a third party app but worth every cent it costs. https://solar-assistant.io/help/growatt/power-management Edited October 27, 20223 yr by zsde

Setting 50 shuts off inverter output so you don't use your battery let's say between 2 am and 4am to power your geyser. If you don't have an automatic transfer switch then Setting 50 is of no use to you. If you did have an automatic transfer switch start time would be 04 and end time would be 02.

The geyser was replaced. QQ: must a geyser replacement come with a COC?
