[QUOTE="Walter_B, post: 542002, member: 36338"] I have read the posts on this forum but unfortunately haven't been able to find the detail I need. I have a Growatt SPH3600 4.1kWh Inverter and a Pylontech 4.8KWh US5000 Li-Ion Battery. The panels/inverter supplies power OK – I’m getting between 1 and 3kWh/d depending on weather at the moment. I cannot find out how to set the battery and inverter up to talk to each other properly though. I only thing I’ve managed to set up properly (I think) are the DIP switches on the battery – they are set to 1-On 2-Off 3-Off 4-Off which gives the 9600 baud rate. The battery is being charged, but is not discharging to the inverter to give me mains power. I have the RJ45 cable connected to the battery and to the CAN port on the Inverter as that is the only port that I don’t get an error on. I understand there are settings to be changed on the inverter to let the inverter know the type of battery that is in place, but I cannot get into the inverter software to set that up. I have tried pressing the OK button for >5 seconds but it seems to stay in standby mode, although I can scroll through some settings and change from lead acid to lithium battery – that doesn’t seem to help at all though. I have got ShinePhone software installed on my phone as that was what I was told I needed by the installer of the panels and inverter - they did not supply the battery. All that that software seems to do is to give detail on what the system is producing – I can’t find any way to change settings within that software. As you can see I have major problems. Any help you can give would be very gratefully received. Thanks very much for looking, [B][I]Walter Burnett[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
