    Why is my inverter pulling from the grid?

    Growatt have confirmed “THe maximum AC output power of your SPH3000(PV+ battery) is 3kW, so if the load is greater than 3kW, e.g. 4kW, the remaining 1kW would be supported by the grid.” Clearly my installer was trying to get away with an inverter below the DNO approval level of 3.68kwh buy...

    Why is my inverter pulling from the grid?

    Thanks Gian I’ve been getting no reply from Growatt support I’m very technical myself & understand all the extra settings under the “growatt20220523” today password 😁 Coming from a software background I highly suspect that the v1.0 firmware needs an update as feels like a software problem...

    Why is my inverter pulling from the grid?

    My Growatt SPH3000 Inverter is pulling from the grid when it can pull 3 kWh from the batteries but isn’t? Is it a bug or a setting? See pic attached. Thanks for any advice

    Why is my inverter doing this?

    Ha ha yes you need a degree to translate this as Google would even suffer 🤣 It’s not at all intuitive on how to set these up even with the simple menus but I guess it’s tinker time as my installer is pretty useless supporting me Thanks for your help 😇

    Is my inverter undersized?

    Bulk do you know of a good guide to setup the growatt SPH inverters via Shine Phone or web interface? Some parameters not obvious 😁

    Ours is a cool garage but the installer just offered us the SPH5000 upgrade 👍

    Is my inverter undersized?

    Also my installer is claiming that under Solar Together any system less than 18 panels gets SPH3000 whereas over 18 gets SPH5000 Sound like rubbish to you?

    Is my inverter undersized?

    Thanks Yes makes total sense 👍 Would the current inverter be at risk of damage being overloaded like this? What does it do with excess DC energy if it can’t store in battery or AC export to grid or AC use in house? Where does the DC go?

    Is my inverter undersized?

    Here are some full example of how the inverter is not letting me maximise kWh generated I estimate I’ll loose out on 1,440 to 2,400 kWh a year due to inverter bandwidth as undersized for array

    Is my inverter undersized?

    My setup is: - 17 x Q Cells Peak Duo Black ML-G9 380w Panels (6.46 kWh array) - 4 x Growatt PowerAmp ML33RTA 3.3 kWh batteries (13.2 kWh) total - 1 x Growatt SPH3000 6.6 kWh Inverter I’ve noticed that once the batteries are fully charged that : 1. The inverter starts to whistle 2. The...
