Growatt Dashboard software

(New to the forum. I don’t know if this is the right place for this but I couldn’t find anywhere that was Thanks to admin for moving it.)

(This is not to do with HA, it relates to the software provided with my solar panels.)

I’ve just had solar panels installed and they come with a Growatt SPH5000 inverter that has software that I’m finding pretty impenetrable (I assume it was written in China) with tooltips like

For my own use I’m going to reformat them into something more readable so I thought I’d share them somewhere.

Load First
When the hybrid inverter is working in this mode, the inverter controls the battery charge and discharge according to the amount of power that is fed back to the grid and taken from the grid.

When there is electricity to be fed back to the grid, the inverter uses some of the electricity to charge the battery, reducing the power supply back to the grid; when there is power from the grid, the inverter regulates the battery discharge and reduces the power consumption from the grid.

When the inverter operates in the load priority prohibition mode, the inverter does not respond to changes in the amount of power fed back to the grid and from the grid, maintaining battery power and entering other priority modes. Load priority prohibition mode is not available.

Battery First & Battery First1

When the inverter is working in this mode, the battery will be charged first, it’s suitable working on the period??? When the electric charge is low.

You need to set the mode on and off time, and the end time of battery SOC. You can set a power rate which less than the battery maximum output power.

If you don’t enable AC charge (AC grid charging function) the inverter will charge battery by PV power as much as it can.

If you enable AC charge the inverter will charge battery by PV power and AC power from grid as much as it can.

Load First

When the inverter is in this mode it charges and discharges the battery according to the amount of power that is fed back to and taken from the grid.

When there is electricity to be fed back to the grid, the hybrid inverter adjusts this part of the electricity to charge the battery, reducing the power supply back to the grid.

When there is power from the grid, the hybrid inverter regulates the battery discharge and reduces the power consumption from the grid.

When the inverter operates in the load priority prohibition mode, the inverter does not respond to changes in the amount of power fed back to the grid and from the grid, maintaining battery power and entering other priority modes.
