Thanks for this video, I changed to a dual band router, 2.4G/5G and my Growatt went offline. I tried to set it up from the phone up, but it just would not accept the STANDARD MODE setup. I followed what you did in this video and got it working again.

nice overview... looking to add this to my setup... I will add that the batteries will last along time just the capacity will decrease overtime and at some point it is not useful. The best thing is that the Lithium and Iron can be extracted and re-processed into raw materials for a new battery (the last place for this should be your local landfill).. so only needs to be mined once. its like how they make new glass products from returned bottles.

Thank you very much! I recently installed a couple of Growatt inverters that came with the wifi dongles. After two weeks of frustration trying to get the dataloggers to work, I was about to toss them. Then I came across your video. And yes, changing the default server to the US one immediately solved the connection issue. I added the S/N of the dataloggers via the website, and the Shinephone app automatically completed the setup. Thank you again!

@justinjja2 how do you figure voltage determines current? Not arguing....asking. If I had my drethers....I drether get hit with 30 amps of 220 vs 900 amps of 54vdc. He had 9 racks at 100 amps a piece. However. All the pissing contest aside. The smart...safe....and responsible way to do work on your system is to kill ALL power. You just don't know. Most arrays these days operate north of 200 vdc. Mine on cloud edge can see 280....its just better off to shut it all down and power it back up. Not worth the risk. I was trying to do some live work while doing my install so the family upstairs didn't have the power off...it was late....I was tired....and I had the wrong fn breaker on...grounded out on the sub panel...needless to say I told the family to deal with it. Shut the whole system down including the main and put a head lamp on. It just isn't worth the risk.

@@wadebrewer7212 V = I * R, your skin resistance when dry is quite high. You can touch the positive and negative terminals of a car battery, with dry hands, and you wont even feel it. Despite that battery being capable of 1000 amps. Tasers are 50,000v and 0.002 amps for a reason high voltage is needed to get meaningful current into a person.

Is your generator an inverter generator or a non-inverter generator? Just wondering the rationale of not using the charging capability of your inverters.

@pawneeoffgrid2614 7 ай бұрын

My generator is NOT an inverter Generator. It is a champion 8500 watt whole home propane beast. The Chargeverter does well with the "dirty" power that gen produces.

@unionse7en 11 ай бұрын

Can these be used "automatically"... i.e using AGS (Auto Generator Start) to start a generator with the chargeverter permanently connected to the battery and generator. No manual intervention any time. Will the generator bog down on starting etc. IF I had to, I could put my delay circuitry in between the chargeverter and the genny but.... It seems like this might not be intended for automatic operation.

@pawneeoffgrid2614 7 ай бұрын

I think that would work, my concern would be the high draw on the Gen before it was warmed up. The Chargeverter does ramp up, but not slow enough to allow the gen to warm up.

Mine was DOA... keep your packaging until you test yours out! I'm looking for an automatic transfer switch... my idea is that Growatt will control the inverter, and the ATS will "fail-over" to the grid when the inverter turns off... All the ATS manufacturers won't discuss hooking these units up in this way... they're just selling generators as grid backups... any advice?

I have heard that a module comes unplugged during shipping and if you take the unit apart you can easily plug it back in. I don't know enough about the ATS so give you sound advice.

Any idea what to do when the device status of the wifi dongo says: "Status: Lost" on the dashboard. There doesn't appear to be any consistent way to get the wifi dongo to get detected and connected to wifi but even when I do get it to start blinking blue and have the dashboard recognize it, it is still "lost." I have deleted and try to add it back again under the datalogger, but it gets to the part of being lost and never goes anywhere further. The dashboard says something about wait 5-10 minutes to allow the device to connect, but it still hasn't connected and it has been hours. Any help is appreciated.

On the insulated tool bit interesting factoid I found out that 280 amp hour lithium iron phosphate cells have a short circuit current capacity of 20,000 amperes.

Nice brother. Hope this works out well. Thanks for sharing. One thing I found that helps keep the battery banks happy. Was seed heating matts. You can set there on and off temps and they use like 15 watts each. Helped a guy in Canada with this last year. They where in a shed like yours. Temps where below 20 C at times. Not one time did he need to use gas for heat. He did have his racks insulated with some aluminum bubble wrap. Then he was saying he was using about 6 KWH in 24 hrs to keep his stuff safe. This might work for you. Hope all is well brother. Thanks so much. God Bless.

Good video it helped a lot. I installed my wifi dongle using the laptop first. But now I’m having trouble setting up the shine phone app. I assumed the “data logger” would already show up in the app, but it wants me to add a “data logger”. When I scan the code, it won’t connect. Do I have to put the blue blinking light back into the solid blue mode? And if I do this will it disconnect everything I did in the original laptop setup? Sorry, for the newbie question. Thanks
