What Im missing in handyman skills i compensate in project management skills and by research ability. Im not progress on anything before i have a solution i can stand back. So i take its kind of slow. Next plan now its making some cables ready for testing temporary mounting together for test purpose and learning. Pink

Thanks Bandersnatch. Pink

How to hold the flexible pipes/hoses up to the Growatt inverter who is used on most of the wires? Pink

ok, its not the biggest problem i just wait to parallel them until the batteries are up, so step one will be 2 inverters who can run 1 at time for testing until batteries ready. Pink

I have been calculating exactly then added 1... i will order some more of them.. Stop working process is much bigger issue than have 10+ stock, thanks Crossy. Pink

Yes i decided on this some time back and made a tread on it. I have buy LINK solar cables and LINK MC4 connectors, who i will use with the connectors on the panels. Pink

Thanks for the info Crossy. - What you soldering on diy battery? Pink

Im not the most experience handyman and have a minimum of tools at hand, so now Im looking into what i need to buy, without to much wrong buying. ( tools who not suitable for the jobs etc..) I already bought a MC4 crimper.. Next im looking into now is Cable cutter who i can use for 4mm2 solar cable and 25mm2 and 50mm2 Battery cables. I found THIS on Lazada, will it do the job? Feel free to suggest better options. Do i need a cable stripper? Or just use a knife? Pink

I was reading over the Growatt manual today in pdf format on my screen to get all details better. Then i found this: Note: Parallel forbidden without battery. Im not sure what to think.. Pink

When Lazada let anyone sell anything at any quality it destroy the market itself. I have recent example regarding rechargeable AA and AAA batteries. Now its fully taken over by sellers who sell cheap fakes. Before it was more possible to find fair deal between all the fakes, but now it look almost impossible. Look like sellers with good deals on a good product is gone, left are the fakes who create 20 + shops each with random shop names, and some brand with very premium price. The guys with good deals give up i guess. PS i ended up order my quality AA and AAA from IKEA online at very nice fair price of B199 pack. Pink

Ok so main inverter can handle all.. I made it more complicated becouse i was sure bot inverters needed to be connected with com. Thanks for the clarification Bandersnatch Pink

Can you share how you connected the batteries to the inverters to get it working? I saw the video but i did not catch the details there. Pink

I think as world getting smaller and we more online and digital its become a norm to find and share info online via youtube, forums etc. I started build and fly RC helicopters from online sources. I have build my own electric drumset..all from online community. Im happy to find so much good info and helpfully people only and also happy to share with other. In the mention case of Bandersnatch researching and troubleshooting is more like a learning and testing process than that there is anything wrong with the product. Thats because its a complex setup with 2 different companies.. Pink

Thanks for that Bandersnatch, Currently talking to Nruit now.. What solution and setup did end up with regarding connecting all together with the com cables? was straight forward ? Pink

I had a discussion today with the seller of the batteries and i got very well your about the complexity. At one point i was explained the parallel inverters and parallel batteries was connected with a com cable from main inverter to main battery. Then later seller wanted to use a hub for com cables. When i try ask why and how etc about this different setups we kind of stranded in communication. Pink Guide for GROWATT SPF5000ES inverter connects with EITAI 10 2kwh battery-PC(1).pdf

Thanks for that Bandersnatch Pink

Here is an update... Been sick some weeks so this project need a restart. All still in boxes so step one is to update my self on the project and get missing items ordered and get main install of panels and inverters done. Currently i want to find out if GROWATT SPF-5000-ES can run with parallel setup without batteries? I got seduced by a offer on 2 x EITAI 48V 200Ah/10.2Kwh battery. Who can connect direct with GROWATT SPF-5000-ES For around $4500 inc delivery to door and custom. But not sure what i want. DIY battery have its benefits too.. Here is a photo with same setup as i would need. Pink

Any idea if GROWATT SPF 5000 ES will work in parallel without battery? ( My main idea was to do the setup in 2 steps. Pink

Thanks for that, it was a very strong evil virus, we all better now but it have take weeks to recover from it. ( Not covid)

Mine is in their boxes yet, we all got hit by some airway virus and still recovering. So i need to restart my project soon.. Pink

I saw there is a new Anern 8.2KW with Dual PV input and output starting at B16K, Quite impressive spec/price: Pure sine wave inverter (on/off gird) The inverter can work without batteries. One click to restore factory settings. Built-in lithium battery, automatic activation Bulit-in 160A (for 7.2KW/8.2KW)/180A (For 10.2KW) MPPT Solar Charger High PV input voltage (90~500VDC) Bulit-in Anti-Dusk Kit for Harsh Environments Communicate with WIFI for iOS and Android. Dual PV input and output butt touch button Anyone must do their own research Pink

Any hope to submit proof its a replacement unit? Pink

My 2 x Growatt arrived today, so Thailand Special Line worked well. Delivery was 3 weeks and all arrived in good condition. pink

Did you connect batteries or inverter as power source ( top) to this breaker? Pink

Availability is only 1 factor. Price, climate and politics are other factors who may kick in before mention sources emptied. Pink
