i can see according to this video that the growatt battery is in fact two pylontech batteries in parallel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXz5rJFGbvE&feature=youtu.be to my information that is not the case anymore, but do anyone know if the 5048MK can be interfaced with growatt batteries? and use t...

Following this post , I've been prompted to check if the QED, QEM, QEY, QET etc commands are present in the later removable display firmwares. These commands query the PV and load energy for the present day, month, year, and grand total. The QE x commands seem to report PV generated energy; the QL ...

i opened my unit today to see the fan connectors and how easy it was to remove them (the fans was pretty easy) ive ordered some cables for them now. the unit is pretty clean after 1. year of use.

did any1 change the fans to a more silent version? if so.. was it easy and did you take any pictures? thinking of changing to noctua. they are ready for next rain period. but until then.. please let me know of anything i should consider before doing this? i can see 2x80mm fans in teh bottom, is that...

Up and running again.. i needed to go into the settings mode on the display, after that serial output was normal

my 5048mk is stucked in the read outs at the moment. https://www.pvoutput.org/intraday.jsp?id=66405&sid=59050&dt=20200329 it reads the same from the serial port even that that the sun has gone down. i use solpiplog for reading out, and nothing have changed in a few hours. i can send commands to the ...

Sun is starting to produce power again.. here is my on and off-grid systems.. it might be an eastern project to put on more load

i cant really take credit for it my self - nuno helped a lot.. but here is the code, you can import it to node red and look into it

:-D what rools do you use i node red? Glad Nuno helped :) - you've advanced much further than me, I haven't experimented with MQTT/Node Red.... My setup is complicated somewhat by having a Wind Turbine (48vDC 2KW) also charging the battey - so the PIP voltage/current read-out is not very accurate. ...

Perhaps have look at https://4wobi.com/newemoncms/ And if you speak German https://www.photovoltaikforum.com/thread/114101-usb-datenlogger-f%C3%BCr-pip-serie-solpiplog/?pageNo=1 Thanks again XtractorFan ive got in youch with numo (like you cheated) and he helped me setting up node red, so now when ...

solpiplog installed.. looking good. now to figure out emoncms.. any thing i can import and use?

this project looks pretty interesting.. its apparently not ready yet, but i have signed up for more info..

ive been using https://diytechandrepairs.nu/raspberry-solar/ for logging from my 5048 Mk in 2019...

on the display i can read out, daily, monthly, yearly and total usage/production - does any1 now of a similar to above project that will save and present these figures in a database?

Xtractor: are you manually changing to ECO during the day?

wondering, can watchpower for windows connect via bluetooth ? or is it onlys for android devices? any have testet ?

How about another 4 panel mounted on the other roof with the same east/west orientation and connect them up 3S2P for the east facing panels and 3S2P for the west facing panels, all wired back to the controller so it receives a total of 3S4P but only a part of the day at full output from all 12 pane...

i can surely see that i was a little too greedy thinking i could go for a 4s2p setup for this inverter, and that might explain why i was kind of stable in my 3s2p setup with no dips, and now when i put on 2 more panels i got the dips. Actually it is running perfectly fine on a complete sunny day, bu...

Nope, it did not do any difference.. lots of dips now. :-/ ok, that was my own fault, i had put on more pv panels and now i exceeded the specs on the mk (150VoC) and above 115 MPPT, then i saw a lot of dips, now i am back to 3x40VoC and apprx 92-ish MPPT, now everything is back to normal, Now i hav...

Today i had several dips on my MK, and a few the last three days, prior to that i have not seen any dips in a lot of weeks, what i did change before the dips, was the charging voltage in float and bulk. now i have changed the settings again the other way, and i will see what will happen. the settin...

i got my bluetooth working yesterday - well it was with an other device. i will start logging for the freeze and dip occurence. and for the record my pip have been working off the grid now for a month with the load i am putting on it, so i am quite satisfied, except the two freezes i have seen. i am...

Wierd, i have borrowed a galaxy 3 running android 4.4.1 i think it was, it can see my television, but my MK it is not showing when searching bluetooth.

i will se if i can try with another android device. (not showing on my ios device either)

Did anyone have succes using an android device and bluetooth with watchpower app.

my samsung galaxy tab 3 cant find any bluetooth devices, do i have to activate bluetooth on the 5048mk ? i can see the bluetooth icon in the display.
