How is everything holding up after 1 year of use? What is the battery SOH State of Health? How many times have the inverters shut down? Overloaded? Nuisance tripped?
I've been running my Growatt inverters and Lithium batteries off grid for one year. They have been working great. In the video I describe pros and cons after one year of use.
The inverters are model 5000ES and purchased from Signature Solar. I have two in parallel for a total of 10kW of inverting capacity.
The batteries are Lithium, LiFePO4. Each battery is 5.12kWh of capacity in a server rack design. This mean my battery bank is just over 30kWh! My battery brand is Gyll, but that has been re-branded EG4 and is sold by Signature Solar.
