Last Hope - Shoto Comms for Growatt SPF-5000ES

Featured Replies

I am hoping that someone here has found a solution to my challenge or I may be changing batteries which I was kind of hoping not to do.

I have 2x Growatt SPF-5000ES inverters in parallel. Generally happy though no expert in these things.

I also got 2x Shoto SDA10-48100L5 batteries. (I started with 1x Shoto for load shedding with a hand me down Axpert inverter that I couldn't find a match for so landed up with 2x Growatt and things spiral fast with 2 batteries and panels before I could find the brakes 😉)

I also have a victron smartshunt running on the system.

Growatt and smartshunt voltage reading seems to be extremely close however the victron smartshunt shows SOC at 86% while Growatt (which does not seemingly support Shoto BMS) is showing 25% as per their app. The battery own light indicates full charge.

ICC apparently don't support and while Solar Assistant team have indicated they will work on support, I was trying to get a way for inverters and batteries to talk.

Has anyone on the forum found a solution for Growatt and Shoto?

My only other thought is asking the store I bought through nicely to swap for Pylontech or something.
