What are your program code 12 and 13 set to? Which firmware are you on currently running? @zsde i am still on 41.02 but trying to upload the new firmware now I got from you. I am struggling, the laptop wont connect with the inverter. Can you maybe give me some tips please,i have disconnected utility,disconnected the loads and inverter is set on SUB but only running from the battery with no loads.

Can you maybe give me some tips please,i have disconnected utility,disconnected the loads and inverter is set on SUB but only running from the battery with no loads. I struggled as well with the last update. Run the ISP tool as Administrator. Place your extracted F030_SK041.06 and F2809_SK040.06 bin files in the root of a USB drive or on the Desktop of the laptop/PC you are using. I found that if these bin files are in a directory the process never starts. Ensure that the "Silicon Labs" port shows up in Device Manager after you start the ISP tool but before you select the file to flash and use the allocated COM port. I don't know how old your Inverter is but no matter what we did on a friend's Growatt that he acquired within the last month, we could not flash it. And I did everything the same way I did on my Growatt from middle of last year. So I am not even sure any more that the ISP toool is still compatible with the latest interface Hardware now used by Growatt. Best of luck. Edited June 11, 20223 yr by zsde

Inverter is about 2 years old at the most now. I thought of maybe trying another laptop aswell,maybe this ons for some reason wont connect, but I will let you know how it goes. Thanks

The drivers was the problem connecting to the inverter. I made contact with Growatt overseas, got the new drivers and problem solved. New firmware installed so hopefully everything is working properly now.

Perhaps you can kindly share that Driver if you don't mind. Thank you

You are on your own with setting 12 and 13 as neither Growatt nor Hubble in my case have tried to answer that question. They just assume those settings are Voltages. Hi, the same problem - my firmware is 040 05 701, 041 05 701. Please send me newest firmware if there are - may be solved problem to me : [email protected]

August 16, 20223 yr I mount battery and upgrade firmware - now system working properly. Thank you !!!

February 21, 20233 yr On 2023/02/17 at 9:09 PM, Alooma said: latest firmware of the Growatt SPF 5000 ES? Depends which edition/batch you have. Mine is the original which uses the 40 series Firmware. The last according to my records were 040.06 and 041.06 which I have on my Inverter. The later Inverters have 60 series Firmware. Never cross flash the incorrect firmware. Check with Growatt on the firmware for the later Inverter batches.

June 16, 20232 yr Hi All, have an es5000 growatt, shows solar coming in but whichever setting i put inverter on SUB, SBU or Solar only it does not use the solar. also looking for the Shinebus app to do the firmware upgrade but not able to find it.
May 23, 20242 yr On 2022/06/05 at 7:47 PM, zsde said: Normally when you select Li in Program code 05 the invertter will jump to program code 36 where you then select a Protocol. In my case with the Hubble it is Protocol 52 and 52 is also used for Pylontech. Also check the pinouts for the CAN connection on the inverter and Battery side. You may have to make up a cable to ensure the Pinouts both sides are correct else it will not be able to communicate with the BMS. https://www.freedomwon.co.za/wp-content/uploads/Freedom-Won-eTower-Installation-Manual.pdf So you will need to make up a cable or have someone make it for you. In this case it is Pin 4 to Pin 4 and Pin 5 to Pin5. That should ensure the comms between Inverter and the battery You can contact these people to get the correct Protocol to choose for your battery The International Rep for Growatt in China is Amos Yang and he is on Whatsapp +86 132 6718 9226 And their local representative is Nhlanhla 067 172 2120 [email protected] Do u have the correct email address for Nhlanhla as that email address doesn't exist or his whatsapp number?
August 31, 20241 yr We have a growatt SPF 6000. Program 01 "SOL". Everything works great, except at night when the battery goes below 50% the grid comes in which is fine, however when the battery reaches 100% soc then the inverter faults on code 03. My supplier changed the battery but no luck. Is there a way to set the inverter to stop charging at 100% or even 99%. Like I mentioned everything else works great
January 11, 20251 yr @zsde , or someone who has it already. Please send the link to the firmware to my email. [email protected] I have the same issues. Thanks
