You must protect with dust cover your off grid Inverter with Covid mask layer (,blue) the slotted openin hello opening with a thin layer of covid mask layer it will stop all that that's getting into the interior. I am affected with my inverter twice because I didn't do it though it was protected with the coating. Dust was getting into the board and finally number two 2 warning in growatt
Be very careful with POWMr. Agressive marketing and low prices, but this company is not reliable. I bought them a micro-inverter. After 6 months, it was out of order. So, it was the hell during 2 weeks to join them. Then, hell again to claim for guarantee : they refused and asked me to proceed to many tests and claimed for video and this and that.. Finally, they did not do anything. 85€ direct to the bin Don't buy anything to this company
My 6.2kw having trouble ,sometimes have long sound, and sometimes if I open my AC Unit It shot down the inverter. What should I do for this problem?
2:54
Hi, Long sound means a beep soubd from the buzzer ? If the inverter is shutting down the inverter when the AC is on it looks like overloading the inverter or having some issue with the AC unit. It is hard to detect the cause from what you have shared. Better show your system to a technician. Thank you and good luck with it.
In my case the hybrid mode is off, the output mode is set to SUB, but still, inverter is going into bypass. The charging mode is set to SnU which means both utility and solar is used to charge the battery, but this mode is only available in SUB mode. My best scenario would be as described below: 1. When there is solar energy sufficient, the inverter would provide power to the load first, and the unused energy into the battery at the same time. 2. The battery would be charged by the utility at the same time by the current sent in option 11 of the menu. Because i've already had a grid-tie inverter solar system installed and it is connected before powmr, it would feed its power from the utility side by using extra solar energy Would be even nicer if it could be programmed by time or action (Which is impossible i suppose). So currently even if the priority is set to SUB, it still works in bypass mode while charging the battery from solar and not feeding any energy from the inverter. The easiest for the powmr as i can understand is a create a firmware which allows SnU chargine (Both utility and solar) at any time or even with additinal option allowing to disable any charging (Both utility and solar) when Solar (The main source) is unavailable. Meaning that there is no energy nor from grid-tie (utility), not from DC solar side is available and therefore not to take any energy of the grid. I will try to contact powmr and explain to them this logic
Yes, it's a good point, Deye inverters support timing but it comes with a high price tag.
Can we export and sell electricity via net metering?
Most countrues Yes, but the PowMr Inverter may not have all required certificates for you to get the approval from your electricity provider, therefore you might have to look for a brand like Growatt or Deye (if you need hybrid) but my sujjestion is to have 2 systems On-Grid and Off-Grid seperately. It may requiremore space but in the long run it is more practical.
Is it a good inverter
Hi Brother, People has different view, but I have been using for PowMr for a quite a whilte and it has been able to provide a good service. Actually my friend imported around 50-60 units and the customer service was okay. My advice is dont order from A/Express. Get it from A/Baba where you can get a better deal and a better service.
@diydesk thank you, I'm buying some for 3 houses I'm building outside the country. I will get it from them thanks again.
We have powmr inverter POW-HVM6.2K-PRO model in India .When we on ac grid input that time they show 0 voltage and battery not charging ,and input settings is USB,how to solve this problem
I am sorry, I don't have a clear answer for you but you can try few things - * Did you try to reset the inverter settings and try it? * Is there anyway you can check Grid Voltage / Freaquency ? * When you have a load connected while grid is connected which power source provide power to the load ? I think it's better to get a video of your issue and share with PowMr team. Wishing you luck with the issue.
Hoi ik heb Powmr inverter 4.2 kw . Mij vraag hoeveel panelen nodig?
Can provide upto 6200W, 500V DC. It will work if you have solar panels that can generate upto 240V DC or more.
Great demonstration
Thank you
We have installed powmr HVM-6.2M-48V-N. it works well in off-grid mode. but in hybrid mode SUB setting inverter switches to utility itself after 02 minutes irrespective of solar energy. Batteries are attached. Please guide us
If the grid feeding option is enabled (hybrid enabled) it keeps the battery for backup during utility loss, and works on grid and solar.

Sir Does the inverter run if u remove pv and Ac cables but plugged to the battery only can u able to run appliances?
Yes, If you have the battery charged, the inverther can run from battery only. I use it from battery daily during night time. With 105Ah x 16 EVE lifepo4 cells I run the house at nigth, 2 Inverter Air Conditions, TV, Lights, sometimes coocking on induction. Early morning around 2 am I connect to Grid power automatically to save some battery power. So this inverter can run well on Battery. If someone needs to know if this can work without battery yes that is possible too but you need to have a stable grid connection and the solar connection. If the sun is low and the usage is high the inverter will use grid power. So we need to have a grid connected. (this is required only during batterless operation)
@@diydesk Thanks for your response Sir mine it's doesn't work from batteries only the problem is when I plug a fridge my inverter the fan start to run non stop immediately so when I plug small appliances like charging phones it doesn't give me a problem so currently I don't have solar panels and electricity so I connected my inverter in 4 12v batteries (parallel) as my inverter is 12v so the batteries are fully charged I use a generator to charge them then plug inverter I tried many things even to adjust the perimeter it didn't work out and it doesn't show any faulty sign but it can't run heavy appliances as fridge I'm talking about is the any thing I'm missing please advise me 😔?

Can I use this for growatt spf 5000es inverter
Can you please explain more. Do you want this instead of 5000es ?
¿Para un sistema off grid puedo tirar un cable ground desde el panel de breaker principal al panel de breaker off grid? ¿O deberia instalar un nuevo ground independiente especificamente para el sistema off grid?
Hola, Has planteado un buen punto. Diferentes ingenieros suelen recomendar varios tipos de sistemas de puesta a tierra. En primer lugar, no soy ingeniero, pero tengo algunos conocimientos a partir de diversas certificaciones. He leído mucho y discutido estos temas con ingenieros. La mejor solución práctica que he recopilado de estas discusiones es tener una única puesta a tierra para toda la casa. Si tienes un buen cable de tierra, puedes usarlo. Si no estás seguro de la calidad de tu tierra actual, deberías hacerla revisar por un profesional. Si necesitas instalar una tierra separada, asegúrate de que haya al menos una distancia de 8-9 metros entre la nueva tierra y la existente. ¡Espero que esto te ayude!
Sorry - you misunderstand the term 'grid-tied'. Grid-tied means it can deliver power to the grid. You are talking about a bypass function: the inverter takes power from the grid and delivers it to your load. This way you have a backup function in case your battery drains down or PV doesn't deliver (enough) power for your needs. This in NOT grid-tied operation! The output of the inverter cannot be connected to the grid --> short circuit! It doesn't adopt the frequency in phase! So be careful, what you explain here!
Hi Dear, thanks for the valuable comment. Just to be clear that we both have the same idea. This inverter feeds power to the grid using the grid input connection not the output.
@@diydesk No, sorry - you are wrong here. Grid input means it takes power from the grid and delivers it to its own output - its just a bypass for PV/Battery. Hope you understand.
@@rilosvideos877 I have confirmed from the manufacturer (PowMr) the unit supports grid tied operation and it feeds back the excess generated power back to the grid via AC input line hence the breaker is rated at 50A. I have yet to try it on my own unit after the net metering is installed. Thanks.
is there an option for offgrid but it charges batteries from generator. I don't have remote start for the generator so I would have to turn the generator on manually for top ups
Thanks for reaching out. Sorry, I am not sure of that. Hope someone will respond to you soon.
@@diydesk No problems, thanks for the reply. I think if I turn hybrid off and have it in SUB mode it should do what I want. Solar first then batteries and if I turn the generator on it will take power from it before the batteries. I'm just hoping it won't cause an error if you try to put it in SUB mode without the generator turned on.
Can i connect 575 watts 10 panels in.series for model.POW-HVM-6.2M-48V-N?
Hi, Here's some details. Inverter Maximum PV voltake is 500 Volts. * 575W JA Solar panel comes with Open Circuit 51.3 volts. * 575W Canadian Solar panel comes with Open Circuit 52 volts. Therefore, without the panel details it is hard to give you an exact answer but most 575W panel specifications show the voltage level over 50. Which makes it go higher than the inverter supported voltage when used in series. One of my friends are using Canadian Solar 550W (49.6V) x 10 which becomes 496 volts in total. It looks like a good match for the inverter. I suggest you stick to inverter specifications.
@@diydesk we connected 575 watt 10 plates and voltage is 480-486 maximum.
what about pv setting of POW-POW-HVM-6.2M-48V-N
Can connect up to 10 460 - 550 panels in series
@@diydesk thanks, my installer made 02 strings of 5/5 575 watt panels and connected in parallel. i have maximum voltage about 235 & inverter trips if heavy load is applied i.e. 3000 watts. note that i have not connected the batteries yet. is my settings is optimum or needs to be changed.
@@diydesk what about 575 watt 10 panels?
En español?
Los videos son solo en inglés, lo siento por eso.
POW-HVM-4.2M-24V supports grid feeding?
Yes, it can
Does the excess solar harvest feeds directly to grid? Or there is an option to enable or disable feeding power to the grid?
Did you try it? Very interested to hear your results! Bet it made Wooooom!
When grid is on, does it releasing to provider or only inside your household?
It can be set as needed
settings please?
Hi, may I know how to determine what MC4 fuse do we use? How to calculate the fuse size? Tq
Mostly based on the voltage passing through, the seller might be able to help you with that.
Are you monitoring the internal temperature? One concern would be the filter itself and subsequent fouling of the filter reducing the cooling air flow. Suspect only small unless fouling is bad, but good to check the impact.
Yes, I have a sonoff tem sensor inside the inverter. It helps me monitor the temperature. The best I have noticed is that the filter needs replacing in less than two weeks.
My inverter was having no2 Error Protected with coating Still again no2 Dust created
Although it was coated After 9 months as gain no2 error Stopped with burst sound And stopped I don't know how much it will cost my 5000Es Growatt
i did the same solution before watching this video
Similar minds ♥️♥️
I have a question. I have a 6.2kw, if I set Hybrid mode, does the extra energy go into the grid?
Yes, it does. You may need some approvals form your grid provider
9:45 why?? I have it... 😭😹😹
Was it a question ❓ sorry not clear for me
@@diydesk You said "try to awoid models that end with N". But u dont say why.... I have a POW-HVM3.2H-24V-N. Thanx

Clear explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
Is this mean we can't prioritize SBU during hybrid mode for this inverter type?
Yes, correct
@@diydesk on hybrid mode, is the ac output to the grid comes form AC in bidirectional?
Is this a 220V unit?
Yes
@@diydesk Do you know of a device that converts the 1-Phase 220V --> 2-Phase 120V?
Warning: The polarised MCB's often be used with the source comes from bellow. Keep in mind in this case the + should be connected on the RIGHT side and at the upper outlet also the + to Inverter should be connected on the right side. If the source (Solar panels) coming from above down into the MCB it should be connected as shown in this Video, with both + on the left side.
Thank you 🙏
what is the difference between the model you showed and this model - POW-HVM6.2M-48V-N?
Functions are both same but there was a huge price difference during the time of the video was updated. When I checked with PowMr they said the N is but low quality and that's why the price is less. But now the model with N seems to be the new model. I am not 100% sure of this place double check with PowMr.
no explanation as to why not choose model numbers that ends in -N?
Responded to your previous comment, please check.
This one produces 220v and if you live in the USA, are there any other equipment required to use?
You may need to install the basic protection devices and the isobars. Please follow the wiring video on my channel. It will give you a better understanding. Stay safe and stay Powered 🙏
I have read some articles stating to get a transformer to lower it to 120V.@@diydesk
The inverter can be set to 120 check with the seller before you purchase
Is the grid tie current for limitting the power to export to the grid?
Yes the current limits the output. Just for rough calculation multiply the output amp by your grid volte. For example if the amp is set to 10A and the grid is 230V output will not exceed 10*230=2300W
Did you ever find a solution? If I want SBU then I must turn off hybrid? And WHY THE F#*# DO THEY HAVE TWO AC OUTPUTS! I don't know how to wire up t my system because there is no explanation for how the two ac outputs function!!!! Frustrating
No matter what setting is set if you enable hybrid mode to output to grid it will change to SUB. But if you change SUB/ SBU from the app it get confused, so don't use the app for settings changing. What do you mean there's two output's can you share a picture of the inverter connection side?
The manual is clear. The second output functions when batt is low to provide lighting during blackout etc. You can simply wire the 2nd output to an emergency light near the inverter to provide light during blackout. Note, the 2nd output works only when batt is low (I think default setting is 20V in 24V system).
I am planning to connect my POWMR 10.2KW hybrid inverter to the grid, our utility source is 240VAC line to ground. they have a bi-directional meter and a production meter. any additional information that I need to Know? Will this hybrid inverter work in this setup? any diagram that can help?
Hello, yes with the information you have provided this inverter should work and export extra power to the grid. Few things to check - * Set inverter operating voltage to 240 AC * Enable Hybrid mode Regarding the wiring diagram you can check the video that is shared on the channel for Off-Grid Inverter wiring. There's no additional devices required unless your grid power provider request you to add a isolator externally. All the best with your installation.
@@diydesk do this and you will destroy your inverter at once! Its NOT a grid-tied inverter! Just bypass function - it takes power from the grid, not vice versa!
Powmr not a grid tied. It only use the bypass mode. Ac in going to the main load and and load 2? If the solar and battery is enough. It will supply main load and load 2. If not it will bypass in which ac in supply the the 2 load output.
I'm novice here. I've read the manuals but still can't understand the different between All-in-one inverters vs Hybrid inverters. So, what would be the main reason to choose between them? I can't find anything from reading the manual.
What is your requirement?
@@diydesk I want an off-grid system, but during the rainy season it could be rainy/cloudy for days, so, being on-grid can't be avoided (it's cheaper to get connected to the grid than buying a generator).
What about customer support. How can I communicate with technical support ?
They usually share the WhatsApp number/s when you purchase through AliBaba. If not you can use the chat option.

Cho mình hỏi khi pv không đủ thì biến tần có lấy điện lưới bù không hay chỉ chuyển luôn sang dùng điện lưới. Thanks
Có thể lấy điện từ lưới để bù. Trên màn hình hiển thị sẽ có hai đường. Một đường đi từ biến tần đến tải và đường còn lại đi từ lưới đến tải. Tôi đã bật chế độ Liên kết lưới trong Cài đặt 37. Vì vậy vào ban đêm, nó lấy điện từ lưới. Nhưng tôi tự tắt nguồn đầu vào lưới để nó kết nối với pin. Khi bạn chuyển sang chế độ Hybrid trong Cài đặt 37, bất kể bạn chọn cài đặt nào trong Cài đặt Một (USB/SUB/SBU), nó sẽ chuyển sang SUB. Hy vọng câu trả lời của tôi đã rõ ràng. Liên kết hình ảnh - i.imgur.com/W56Q5oC.png -------------------------------------------------- It can draw electricity from the grid to compensate. On the display screen, there will be two lines. One line goes from the inverter to the load, and the other goes from the grid to the load. I have enabled Grid Tie mode in Setting 37. So, at night, it takes power from the grid. However, I manually turn off the grid input so it connects to the battery. When you switch to Hybrid mode in Setting 37, no matter which setting you select in Setting One (USB/SUB/SBU), it changes to SUB. I hope my answer is clear. Image Link- i.imgur.com/W56Q5oC.png
