Hello dear amos, first i would thank you so much for this post.
Can i use the firmware mentioned in part 8. for SPF 5000ES?
i have in 5000ES with the same problem PV works only after restart.
Oh, it is different model, you can’t use SPF 5000TL HVM firmware for SPF 5000ES, please be meticulous.
Amos,
Thanks for the extensive work done; I’m sure it will help many.
In my case I have a brand new SPF5000ES and since day one the fans are running like mad (I don’t think they will last)… The supplier will not help me out..
The thing is that the inverter is also showing FAULT 21 which is “Too low PV power”, but that cannot be, because my voltage is most of the day over 350 V DC.. and one more thing… At night it is still showing the same fault !!
I know that when the SPF has a fault it normally by default and for safety it makes the fans run full blast, so it could be that if I sort the Fault 21 I might also get rid of the fan problem… What do you think??
Dear Sir,
Sorry, I missed the info.
Firstly, 21 is warning intead of fault, PV power is not sufficient? Could you do the test , disconnect PV and utility from inverter, just use battery , then observe if inverter can work normally, if there is normal AC output, it means mainboard and control board are good. Secondly, you Just connect PV into inverter, no battery and utility, if still can’t work, you can replace MPPT board directly.
Thanks!
are the newer P/N 16000 Inverters with Firmware 113 00 9.07 /114 00 9.07 compatible with the older 13200 P/N inverters? Are the firmwares usable vice versa? what are the differences between these models?
really sorr for the late reply!
Please kindy advise inverter S/N and Material code that starts with PV.***
Thanks!
1.are the newer P/N 16000 Inverters with Firmware 113 00 9.07 /114 00 9.07 compatible with the older 13200 P/N inverters?
You mean if these 2 firmwares can work in parallel?
2. Are the firmwares usable vice versa? what are the differences between these models?
113.00 firmware version is for chip 28067
114.00 firmware version is for chip STM103
Because previously, we lack 2809 Chip, accordingly we use 28067 and STM103 chip instead
Other firmwares can’t be used for this kind of chips. Please highlight this
helo sir

good day AMOS
“4. When SPF 5000ES Has Loud Fan Noise”
i have two machines one is a [067 01 1.04 / 068 01 1.04] and i was able to do a firmware update successfully to [067 F4 A27 / 068 F4 A27]
the second machine however [113 00 9.07 /114 00 9.07] could be a problem. is there an update that will fix the fan noise issue for this newer FW?
Dear Johann,
Sorry for the late reply! I have missed your info.
which inverter firmware has fan noise , firmware version 67.F4 or 68.F4?
good day AMOS
Inverter 1:
P/N: SKSL00.0013200
[ 067 01 1.04 / 068 01 1.04 ]
updated successfully to
[ 067 F4 A27 / 068 F4 A27 ]
(Fan noise is fixed)
Inverter 2:
P/N: SKSL00.0016000
[ 113 00 9.07 / 114 00 9.07 ]
(is a newer machine, the fans are noisy and also needs to be updated to fix)
Inverter 2:
P/N: SKSL00.0016000
[ 113 00 9.07 / 114 00 9.07 ]
(is a newer machine, the fans are noisy and also needs to be updated to fix)
I will try to get 113, 114 firmware version for fan noise from research dep.
Good day Amos
There is a potential update to fix the fan noise of Inverter 2:
P/N: SKSL00.0016000
[ 113 00 9.07 / 114 00 9.07 ]
a friend of mine knows some one with:
P/N: SKSL00.0015701
[ 113 01 C05 / 114 01 C05 ]
According to him it is quieter.
the P/N is a bit older than mine, but could possibly be a similar machine???
Good day Amos

Should i now update to 113,114 firmware
F28067_SK113.01_12051
V103_SK114.01_12051
?
Thanks in advance
Oh, no, 113, 114 is for another kind of control board, don’t flash it, or your inverter will be dead
Thanks for the reply.
Just i have a question about bms communication of 5000es with sunket lithium battery through CAN. What should i put number “36” in settings?
Thanks in advance
HI Samer,
Sunket is not in formal compatibility list, you can confirm to your battery manufacturer. Maybe they have matched it ( Most probably L52 on 36th option). If not, you can use US2 on 5th option without BMS communication, which is specially desinged for lithium-ion battery without BMS communication.
Thanks!
yes…..
it works on CAN protocol 52!
thank you
regards
are you sure? Please kindly advise battery nameplate and send it to my whatsapp +8613267189226
I am ready to list it in the post.
Your help will be much appreciated!
Hi Amos, are you able to help out on my recent forum reply? Change a MIC 3000 TL-X into a 3300?
Good Day Amos, After updating the firmware to SPF3000TL HVM-24 (serial no. AXEFCJ200W) to latest version(20210929), PV system quit working nearly after 30 minute.

Hi Amos,
Do you have any release notes for SPF 5000ES Firmware Download ( 67.03，68.03 )
I have 3 in parallel. Work great, however when charging battery at night on low tariff, sometimes does not charge and or sometimes continues to charge battery from grid after time when it should stop charging from grid.
I really appreciate help on this
Thanks

Hi Amos,
i have two spf5000es in parallel with 20kw of growatt ark lv battery
one have firmware version 040 05 7.01 – 041 05 7.01 and second have 067 01 1.04 – 068 01 1.04
random time i got 04 error to old version inverter and 80 error to inverter with 067 xx .firmware. i see in manual that 80 is a can bus communication.
Firmware update can solve my problem ?
thx
I have sent Email to you. Please reply it. Firstly, solve 04 warning issue, it may be caused by battery communication.
Hello Amos, I have 2 Growatt spf 5000es (both with same fw: 67.x/68.x), after 1 year of use, slave inverter enter in bus voltage high (err 08), but that is only in sol/batt/util, if I switch it to solar/util/batt or if I disconnect the AC grid, I have no problems.
What are you suggest?
Thankyou in advance!
