  Works

Works: tested and measured on real hardware.

The dongle controls the battery with Growatt's VPP protocol.

Charge, hold and sell

A command with the battery's power and a duration. The dongle removes it itself when the block ends, and after a restart.

What it requires

VPP V2.01 in the inverter's firmware. Without it, GridZeno can only read the inverter and limit the sale.

Stop selling at negative prices

The inverter's export limit is set quarter by quarter by the selling price, but only where the installer has turned export limiting on. GridZeno only lowers a limit that's already set and never turns it on or off.

Another controller

If another system already has a VPP command on the inverter, the dongle leaves it alone and doesn't control the inverter.

Manual

When the control is on Manual, the dongle changes nothing on the inverter. It reads, and if GridZeno has changed something, it puts the inverter's own settings back, including your own charge limits.

The type code 5100, when only the VPP ranges answer (the charge level in 31217), not the range from 3000 or 0-124.

What it requires

VPP V2.01 in the inverter's firmware (holding 30099 = 201).

State of charge limits

30404 takes only 70-100 % and 30405 only 10-30 %. Your limits are fitted into those ranges, and the plan itself holds the battery at your lowest charge level.

The grid

Read in the meter, 31112, not in 31100. Until 31112 has shown something other than 0, the inverter reports no grid.

How it differs from its neighbours

• Growatt MIN TL-XH2: The same inverter with round connectors. The dongle controls it the same way; the difference is the port: pins 3 and 4 in the 16-pin SYS COM connector.

For the installer: the registers

What the dongle uses over Modbus, if you want to follow along or troubleshoot. Don't change the registers yourself while control is set to Automatic.

Control

The VPP command in 30407-30410: 30408 is the duration, 30409 the power in per cent, 30410 = 1 when charging. 30100 = 1 turns it on. The dongle writes in the order 30408, 30409, 30410, 30100, 30407 and removes it with 30407 = 0, 30409 = 0, 30410 back and 30100 = 0.

Protocol

Holding 30099 shows the VPP version: 201 is V2.01.

State of charge limits

30404 (highest, 70-100) and 30405 (lowest, 10-30).

Export limit

30201 in whole per cent, when the installer has set 30200 = 1.

From the dongle's firmware and our notes on each inverter, not from the datasheet.

Network cable with RJ45 plug. Approx. 25 minutes.

Port

SYN

Pin

A at pin 3 (RS485A2), B at pin 6 (RS485B2)

Where

In the block of six RJ45 ports on the underside, under the waterproof cover: DRMS and COM at the top, BAT and Meter in the middle, SYN and RS485 at the bottom.

This one works.

Growatt MIN TL-XH2 (RJ45) is the inverter GridZeno has been tested on. Check that your model is under MIN 2500-6000TL-XH2 with six RJ45 ports, and that a battery is fitted if you want the battery controlled by the electricity price. If it still doesn't suit you, you have 100 days' free return.
