Hi johnb2731,Hi,
Welcome to this wonderful area of cyberspace. I too have solar PV and Battery courtesy of Growatt but have expanded my system on a DIY basis to cover the shortcomings of the Growatt system. I also run 2 EV's and very happy to share my experience of slar and EV.
Thanks for the reply and offer to share your experience/expertise.
One immediate question I have re the Growatt is that I have been looking for details in the documentation and online about "Power harvester" mode.
When I look via server.growatt this is the mode my SPH5000 is set to.
The docs, as far as I can see don't mention this mode at all.
Plus; when I look via Solar Assistant settings I see no mention of Power harvester mode at all. This is possibly because Solar Assistant has only recently updated to include Growatt settings.
I'd ultimately like to dump the shinephone dongle altogether and control via Solar Assistant if I can just so I can stop sending my data to China and have them control my system without my knowledge (paranoid I know).
Is there any decent source of info that explains this?
Split from "introduce yourself"
