Overview

The Growatt NOAH 2000 is a balcony solar storage system designed to capture and store solar energy for household use. It serves as a comprehensive solution for maximizing the utilization of photovoltaic power, offering both energy storage and intelligent management features.

Function Description

The primary function of the NOAH 2000 is to store excess solar energy generated by photovoltaic modules and make it available for consumption when needed, such as during periods of low solar production or at night. This helps to reduce reliance on grid electricity and optimize self-consumption of renewable energy. The system integrates with a micro-inverter to convert the stored DC power into AC power suitable for household appliances. It supports various configurations, allowing for connection with two or four solar modules, and can be expanded by stacking multiple units for increased storage capacity. The NOAH 2000 also features a heating function to ensure optimal battery performance in low-temperature environments, allowing it to operate effectively even when ambient temperatures drop significantly.

Usage Features

The NOAH 2000 offers a user-friendly experience with intuitive controls and smart monitoring capabilities.

  • Power On/Off: The device can be turned on with a short press of the main power button (1 second) and turned off with a long press (3 seconds), providing simple and direct control.
  • Solar Panel Connection Indicator: An LED indicator illuminates when solar panels are connected and receiving sufficient input power (above 25W), flashing quickly if the power is below this threshold.
  • Micro-inverter Operation Indicator: A dedicated LED confirms that the NOAH 2000 is actively powering the micro-inverter, ensuring the system is delivering energy to the home.
  • IoT Connectivity (WiFi-Bluetooth): The system includes an IoT button for easy network pairing. A short press initiates connection mode (IoT icon blinks), and a successful connection is indicated by a steadily lit IoT icon. A long press (3 seconds) resets the IoT connection. This feature enables remote monitoring and control via the ShinePhone application.
  • Battery Level Indicator: A visual LED display shows the battery's state of charge, with each bar representing 0-25%. A quickly flashing first indicator light signals a low battery level (0-10%) when the system is in standby or discharging.
  • ShinePhone App Integration: The Growatt ShinePhone application provides comprehensive remote monitoring and control of the NOAH 2000. Users can create a "power plant" within the app, register their device, and configure network settings. The app displays real-time data on power generation, savings, battery status (online, offline, heating, abnormal), and current operation mode.
  • Operation Modes: The NOAH 2000 supports two intelligent operation modes to optimize energy usage:
    • Load First Mode: This default mode prioritizes powering household loads directly from photovoltaic energy. If solar generation exceeds the set system output power, the surplus energy is stored in the battery. If solar generation is insufficient, the battery automatically discharges to supplement the photovoltaic power. Users can adjust the system output power within the app.
    • Battery First Mode: This mode prioritizes charging the battery to its upper limit SOC (State of Charge). Once the battery is fully charged, it stops discharging, and any remaining photovoltaic energy is output according to the actual solar power.
    • Users can set specific time periods for each operation mode, allowing for customized energy management throughout the day.
  • Associated Inverter: The system can be associated with a Growatt NEO Micro Inverter via the app settings, enabling integrated management in compatible scenarios.
  • System Output Power Setting: Users can define a default system output power. This setting applies during periods when no specific operation mode is configured, ensuring a consistent power output.
  • Simultaneous Charging and Discharging: The NOAH 2000 is designed with separate input and output ports, allowing it to charge from solar panels while simultaneously discharging stored energy to power household loads.
  • Compatibility with Other Solar Panels: The device can be charged with solar panels from other brands, provided they meet the product's photovoltaic charging specifications.
  • Expandability: The system supports the connection of up to four solar panels using a Y-Branch Solar Parallel Cable (sold separately) for increased energy harvesting.
  • Stackable Design: Multiple NOAH 2000 units can be stacked, with a recommended maximum of four units, to expand storage capacity. Wall fixation is required for stacking three or more units to prevent tipping.
  • Wall-Hung Installation: For space-saving on balconies, the NOAH 2000 supports wall-hung installation using a separately sold bracket.

Maintenance Features

The NOAH 2000 is designed for durability and ease of maintenance, with several features to ensure long-term performance and safety.

  • Ingress Protection (IP66): With an IP66 rating, the NOAH 2000 is highly resistant to dust and water, making it suitable for outdoor use in various weather conditions, including unexpected rain showers.
  • Low-Temperature Heating Function: When the battery temperature is between -30°C and -20°C, connecting solar panels automatically activates a heating function. This warms the battery to its optimal working temperature (5°C), ensuring normal operation in cold environments. The app provides an estimated remaining heating time.
  • Battery Protection Mechanisms: The system incorporates multiple protection types, including high-temperature, low-temperature, over-discharge, over-charge, overload, short circuit, and over-current protection, safeguarding the battery and ensuring safe operation.
  • Storage Guidelines: For long-term storage, it is recommended to fully charge the machine, disconnect photovoltaic connections, and turn off the device. Regular charging and discharging (to 20%, then to 80%) every three months is advised to maintain battery health. The battery level should be kept between 30% and 80% for extended storage.
  • Troubleshooting and Alert System: The ShinePhone app provides alerts and fault codes for various malfunctions (e.g., low/high battery voltage, temperature alarms, communication failures, overcurrent, overvoltage). The manual offers corresponding solutions, often involving restarting the product, adjusting environmental conditions, or contacting Growatt Customer Service Center for repair.
  • Disposal Guide: The manual provides clear instructions for the proper disposal of the battery, emphasizing complete discharge before disposal and adherence to local regulations for battery recycling, as batteries contain hazardous chemicals. Professional battery recycling companies should be contacted if the battery cannot be fully discharged.
  • General Care: The product should be kept dry, protected from heavy objects, and cleaned with a dry cloth. It should not be dismantled, punched, shaken, hit, or burned. Avoiding strong electrostatic or magnetic fields is also recommended to prevent malfunctions.
