Strange, I’ve had lots of email communication with them and usually very quick replies. No reason against having it other than the cost of having to buy the smart manager and getting it installed. I was just putting it out there if there was a different way or if somebody else had any ideas

🤷🏼‍♂️ I have 2 sets of 5kw. One east one west facing. That’s the set up I was given when purchased and had installed

Bump bump. Any idea from anyone?

Good day I have 2 Growatt SPH3600 inverters each has its own battery. They both feed in to my single phase house supply as set up by the installer. I’ve been in contact with Growatt support over a small issue and now he is telling me that I need a Growatt smart energy manager as both inverters...

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, change of supplier and batteries is the plan 👍🏻

I’m not looking to profit from it as I don’t export anything from these systems. I see the point of too much battery and I see the point of the environment, my main motivation was my own expense and trying to be as self sufficient as I could be (summer months achievable) then got thinking about...

Just checked and tariff does sound appealing. There would definitely be lots of winter days and spring/autumn where the sun wouldn’t be shining so I wouldn’t be charging 1 battery let alone 4. I don’t export anything back from these panels so get nothing returned on them. Now I’m thinking if...

I’ll have a look at tariffs, not wanting to commit and tie myself in to any of those at the moment because the moment I do I know that the price will drop!! Summer months 1 extra battery might suffice as the days are long and nights short but spring and autumn 2 would be needed. I just don’t...

Thanks for the thorough reply! From looking at the smart meter I use around £4 or 11kw of electric from the grid before 7:30 when the house starts waking up. Around then I start generating a very small amount. I do not export back to the grid from this solar system as I already had a 4kw on the...

Hi. i have a 10kw solar array split through 2 inverters. Each inverter has a Growatt 6.5kw battery. We use no oil or gas, all our energy is electric, gshp for heating and hot water, electric hobs and oven. It’s the beginning of April and we are charging both batteries and using appliances and...

Thanks John i appreciate your help. I was thinking of the inverter end where they are connected, if they can be connected wrong that end

Thanks for your help the web page is easier to understand than the app. could you tell me if CT clamps be wired back to front into the inverter? just been checking on the 2 systems and 1 battery is empty and the other is fully charged. I turned the full battery CT clamp round and the battery is...

Yeah I’ve seen the setting and it is switched to disable. Actually just checked and that was on enable with no time set up, the other system was set to disable. I’ll see what happens tonight. I’ve only been looking on the app but logged in to the computer version this morning and it looks a...

Hi, I’m getting confusing info on the ShinePhone app too. I’ve got 2 SPH3600 inverters running and the current power is a bit confusing, I thought it would only show what is being generated but that doesn’t seem to be the case, sometimes I’m sure it shows what the batteries are also discharging...
