It works fine accept the charging form PV doesn't seem to work very well and charge current is limited to 25A (too low for 20KW batteries), the use2 setup works fine for me. Can you perhaps post your typical charging graph logs, I would like to compare with the BMS controlled results you have. Image: This is what my charge curve looks like, charges up to 53V until sunset: Second image: my daily chart on one of the inverters. My spf5000 charge to 95% then keeps it there till sunset

Unfortunately with the BMS running things I could not get my 8 x US2000 battery group to charge at 80A . it always limits around 25A, of course bat amps report higher with load requirement above this charging current level. On USE02 I can get my battery stack fully charged by PV at 80A. I am yet to see someone with PV panels and BMS reporting a proper high charging current on a large battery group. Will just have to stay on USe02 mode for now. Works quite well for now.

I ran both the firmware installs. the BMS management is now working. i rebooted as guided with each firmware. What I noticed was that the ISP goes to the last firmware. bin file when running you need to change the directory to the correct one. I have however lost the WiFI data logger function. Any recommendations on how to get it working again? I managed to get the data logger working again. The problem was with the communication board of the inverter and how it was sending information to the data logger spent a few day communicating with Growatt and I received a firmware update to correct. Touch wood all is looking stable now. I will monitor and give an update after a few days.

That's been driving me up the wall too. I had actually given up on it.

I've a forever flashing red light on the 2nd datalogger and no communication with the inverter. Can you perhaps email me the firmware that made your system to work well and perhaps details of how you managed to make it work with Growatt guys. My email address is [email protected]. Thanks Rakwena

November 19, 20205 yr Author @Strauss If your firmware is factory your inverter definitely isn't working properly. At minimum you need the firmware I've been providing to everyone.
November 19, 20205 yr Author Unless the latest factory firmware on brand new units has finally been updated, of course. Then you might be ok with factory, but from what I've seen that's not the case.

I’ve also notice that Amps fluctuate to 32.6Amps. It is controlled through BMS. You can’t change the charge percentage. For me it works. One last thing I did do was change my battery wiring to a parallel.

''One last thing I did do was change my battery wiring to a parallel'' Did you have your Pylontech US3000 connected in series? Assuming you had two, that is 96v on a 48v inverter. I'm surprised that you didn't blow something on the inverter 😀

Than test before connecting to the inverter. I Check with a few websites before deciding to give it a shot. This was one reference I used.
