Hi there Ben and Tina.. interesting stuff.
If Tom and Barbara Goode where still on the telly they'd be doing this ..as always stay safe and keep the vids a coming Paul.
hi the mr B and the hobbit,
im on the laptop this time,
catching up and liking the videos ,
i hope it boosts things for you, as always stay safe keep the vids a coming ,Paul.
As they say at Tesco's, every little helps!
Short video this time, but for those that want to know. Here is how I connected the Inverter to the batteries.
Hi - thanks, but you did forget to mention that you've to select the communication protocol as well (prog. 36) which automatically pops up after selecting bat type. As this is obviously not your first time setup, you've already been asked to do so - so the inverter skipped that step - but you should explicitly mention the first time setup case as well - tell me if i'm wrong due to eventually different firmware versions - thx
I think you're correct, it did ask me on the initial setup, and I totally forgot all about it.
@@Bensgarage thx it's just cause i was permanently in fault mode until i setup the can communication mode '52' ... whatever :) works now for me, thanks for the vid
It does not work using 52.
@@mobidicu do you have an spf5000es using pylontech us3000c or similar? i've seen guys using prog 52 for this inverter / battery type combination so I"m pretty sure 52 is the correct protocol type setting for this configuration. greetings
My manual for 3500 and 5000ES doesn't have a program 36. What setting is right for prog 36 if Lithium is selected in program 5? (Pylontech 3000C)
Thanks for the video, Ben! My problem is I don't have the original data cable between the inverter and the battery so I tried to make one but I seems I don't knows the correct order of the wires for the two ends of the cable. I close up photo with the two connector it would help, I think. Again, thanks a lot!
The cables are all covered so you can't see which one goes where. But have a read here: powerforum.co.za/topic/5164-growatt-inverter-pylontech-batteries-bms-comms-guide/
@@Bensgarage In the link you shared me it's about another model of Growatt; it's a hybrid one. So it uses the RS485 port on the battery... First I have to purchase the original com cable next I'll see step by step. Thank you for you support and quick responses! Best of luck!
@@bccb491 I thought you said you had the same as mine, which is a hybrid inverter, glad the videos have helped.
@@Bensgarage I have the same model with you but the model in the link isn't. Anyway, the hybrid inverter are those who combine both off-grid and on-grid features, it means that you have battery for back-up and, in the same time, you inject power to the grid and you have some compensations instead. Some dealers name incorrectly these inverters as "hybrid" because they use AC grid as back-up. A real hybrid inverter has, in the menu, "off-grid" function and "hybrid" function.
Did you know when you purchase Paylontec battery they lie to you about capacity?
Because you are not able to take all advantage from this battery...
This battery is only 15S configuration inside, so it is working from 54V until 44V...
Bu the battery should be able to work from 58V down to 46V...
If they have 16S configuration inside, will have bigger voltage range and better efficiency...
Hi, I am using two inverters connected in parallel and two us5000 pylontech batteries. Its constantly on alarm as I immediately switch the inverters on. Errors 20 & 4. I have tried everything trick and changed from CAN to RJ and I have the small Li battery sign steady on on inverter but batteries still not charging. Please help
I guess you have connected the batteries up to the inverters using a bus bar, make sure the battery leads from your inverters are the same length, as I have seen that can cause problems.
Quick question, my inverter did not come with the battery communication cable. I understand that it's a RJ45 (ethernet) cable. Can you please check if it's straight or crossover? What I mean by this, are the wire colors the same order on both ends?
That's NOT "all you've done". You also entered protocol number L52 after setting LI on program 5.
I have the same battery and inverter, I cannot communicate the battery with the inverter, I get error 19 on the screen. Could you help me?
Please how to configuré the DIP SWITCH for those two battery
I have them both set in the up position, it works for me. All communications between batteries and inverter is working as it should.
Hi Ben what type sever cabinet have you used plz ie make model plz
The one I have is not rated for the weight of the batteries, and I have used the feet rather than the wheels, and also a piece of wood under the rear of each battery to support a bit of weight. www.thomann.de/intl/millenium_sr2012_studiorack.htm
Can I ask why go with Pylon for battery storage rather than Growatt? By The Way - thanks for the video.
At the time, Growatt were a lot more expensive and didn’t have the storage capacity.
@@Bensgarage many thanks.
Hi
I have spf5000 es installed but facing one problem. The RCD trip when the inverter change from grid to battery it has been suggested to use 100mA instead 30mA... any advice on this please
Which rcd are you talking about, the one on the grid side or the one after the inverter?
@@Bensgarage the one after the inverter on the consumer unit
@@alqaimyouth the rcd I have is 30ma, 40A. I’ve never had a problem with it. Maybe you have a faulty one, or a setting in the inverter is not right and it’s spiking the rcd, causing it to trip when it goes from grid to battery.
@@Bensgaragehi nedd your hellp
Hi, Can I ask where you brought your Interter from ? Is that a SPF5000 ? I am looking to purchase one, but doesnt look like it is available in the UK...
I'm in France, and it looks like my supplier doesn't have them in stock either.
@@Bensgarage Thanks 👍
If you were to do it all again what would you add or change
I would probably do the same again. System is working well, and although we are going to add more panels, it hasn't cost us too much.
I want to go totally off grid next year, I’m not an electrician but can grasp most things, where is a good place to start learning how to do it?
I do find your videos very interesting, keep them coming.
@@Paddyandpoppy Same here, I'm not an electrician and was a bit concerned as I had never attempted house electrics before. But after looking at how the house was wired up and plenty of research on RUclips, I found it quite easy. So I would say here is a good place to start, just make sure you watch reputable videos.
@@Bensgarage any recommendations
I'm planning on installing a similar system 2x plyon uc5000 and a solis 5k invertor. I can't get solar at my house at the moment so doing the battery only system is the next best thing. Issues is I'm finding hard to find a electrician one charged £1000 for just install others no reply at all. Any forums or advice. Also any recommendations on what to add and not to add.
Sorry, but I have no idea how a battery only system works, and why would you need an inverter for a battery only system? Surely the batteries get charged from the grid (preferably at off peak rates) and you then power the house during the day from your batteries. I can only give advice on what I have done, researched and fitted and then let you know if it has worked or not.
@@Bensgarage thank you no problem, I'm fitting an inverter because I'm planning on adding solar next year
@@TheKerr1983 Oh I see, so your going to be running the inverter as if you had panels fitted, but just passing the grid through it for the time being, makes sense now. I guess then, it depends how good you are at electrics. I have found that most forums seem to concentrate on being totally offgrid or are selling power back to the grid, so I never paid much attention to those. If you go back over my solar series, I have made a few videos explaining how I have done it, hope they are of some help.
@@Bensgarage thank you Ben appreciate the help definitely will be looking over them
in Growatt menu 36 you need to activate the right protocol number o😢
Do you know what the correct protocol number is? I cannot communicate the battery with the growatt inverter

Same issue.
I have a similar issue, my system works great during the day, at night after the battery has been in use for a little while I start to get error 04(low battery voltage) and it beeps all the way until I fall asleep. When I wake up the beep is usually gone and it's charging from solar. I've tried increasing the voltage at which it switches over to the grid but no luck so far.
@@mobidicu
Remove the communication cable until you can figure the setting out
