Anyone running a Growatt 5000es and a Volta Stage 1 battery?

Featured Replies

I would just like to find out somethings.
 

I run my house through the battery when the sun sets and I had the battery to grid setting on 35% Saturday morning it ran smooth at around 6am it hit the 35% mark and switch over to eskom. But this morning it only managed to get to 37% and the battery cut out within like 10mins the battery dropped 2volts and it went under the cut off voltage of the battery of 44.8volts. Is there something I did that was wrong should I rather change the battery to grid to 40%?

I charge it through pv. If the battery hits the battery to mains % it just switches over to grid but it doesn't charge the battery. I only charge through grid when it's cloudy

The battery normally hits 99% at around 11am. If it's a nice sunny day

Can you please clarify when you experience the problem you mentioned in relation to fully charged days.

This was on Sunday morning around 4am I run on battery through the night. On Monday morning I had the low voltage warning at around 5:30am but the volts was 52.4v
