Keep your boxes. I had one of my 6 batteries crap out within a year. Ditto the 220v charger. Otherwise, my system (2x5000ES + 6 EG4 + 2 midpoint transformers) is doing well. Nice rack! ;-) The manual *does* talk about giving space on the *sides* of the inverters... I suppose if your shop doesn't get too hot, having the one side that close to the other won't be a problem....
Good set up my advice "please if I may" I think you should have that set up in a small room, so it is protected in case something fell off or hit the units, in the small room they are going to be safe from any damages accidents can happen at any moment, also hanging them to a wall that can be done too I know that is really an expensive technology
Looks like a great setup and it's clearly working well for you. You've got the room on the rack to spread those things out a bit and you should definitely do so, if you want to get a long service life out of them.
I think for the purpose of testing placing the inverter very close together is ok But not adviceable for permanent installation. The inverter need enough space to blow out hot air through both sides of vantilatiation opening located at top right and left side of casing.
I didn't realize Growatt had communication issues solved with EG4. Can you go over those details a little more? Which battery setting did you coose? Did you buy from Signature solar?
Hey, look at reviews of Signature, they have oodles of really bad reviews. I tried to buy from them and got the same runaround a lot of others talk about. 2 hours on the phone and they couldn’t give me a price on shipping. And no promised call back. They either went downhill, or were there to begin with. Seriously, people who bought $30,000 systems can’t get warranty or tech support. Go look online for reviews yourself.
@@Projectzeroto60 I have 14 panels, 320watt each. I made two string with 7 panel in each string. But I am getting only 2900 watts. I am losing a lot of watts. I am using the same inverter, they said this inverter as MPPT built in.
@Keatin Hales it will shorten the life of them is the problem, not the most expensive inverters on the market but proper installation will give you the best results
@@todamnbad probably so but they don’t really put of any heat. Most load they see is the light I run which is 1/6 of there capacity. And I have 14 350 watt panels split on them so 7 on each which is very very compared to what they can handle. So I don’t think it will hurt them nor shorten their life. I used a infrared temperature gauge and measured the air temperature exiting on a hot day with full sun on the panels and the full load inside the building. It was only a couple degrees higher than the ambient temperature.

Recommended space between units minimum 20cm/8 inches due to heat/vent.
I run teo 5k es myself. Clean setup. Inverters can use recommend in beween space for air flow

Muito bom seu sistema de energia off grid 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

That's the plan!
thanks for your business!!
cool man i like sok batteries eg4 are nice to

I have 2x 5kw of those growatts in parallel with 1x 10kw battery. I cant get the bms to work. Iv tried everything, did you had any issues
No issues
Did you use any kind of MPPT Booster with your growatt spf500es? If yes, can you share your wiring diagram please
@@Beyond-30 I didn’t sorry
@@Projectzeroto60 thank you for your reply
@@Beyond-30 you can wire your panels in series to help get the voltage up on the panels

@@Beyond-30 how many amps and volts is each panel. Are any of your panels shaded ?
Too close inverter install. Is it ok?
No issues yet , been running 2 months straight
Well done
Thank you!
No space between inverters? Gonna fry something forsure
Maybe 6 months going strong
