@bolded....if it didn't break completely, you could have tested them before discarding. Cracked glass panels can still do their job most times.

I believe you.
One is just cracked throughout the body, and I later used it in another part of my building to carry a fridge/freezer and just that one panel cracked is doing it perfectly. For how long will it last, don't know.

The second one not only cracked but a hole was created. I didn't use that one any other place coz I'm scared water/rain will enter the hole and damage cells. If there's an advice for me to still use it, pls I'll need some.

Anyway, I decided not to include those two because of the myth that adding panels that produce less wattage will affect the general production if connected with good ones. Don't know how true, but that fear made me not to add it to the other 8.

Can this be charged with solar panels?

sorry it is a typo, it is actually a charger not battery

Is this 3.5 kva inverter capable of powering a 0.5 submersible pump?

Yes, it will

You are degrading those panels using them to 100% is not good

Please can I add a 580 watt panel to a 320watt panel?

Share both Datasheet for better assistance.

Please how many solar panels do I need to charge a ecoflow delta 2.

Help a brother .

The 320 watt is KBC
. The 580 I am planning on getting is jinko 580

one pcs of 555w Jinko should do.
but if not being mobile powerbank, i think it is overpriced.
a 24v 1. 5kw hybrid inverter
24v 2.5kwh lifepo4 lithium battery
with 2pcs of jinko 555w panels will perform far better and is far cheaper.

The KBC panels does not have correct label, just get rid of it and get 2 units of 440watts Jinko.

.Comparison of Configurations


Parallel Connection:

Voltage: Limited by the lower voltage panel (33V).


Current adds up:

Combined current is Imp1+ Imp2 = 13.69A+ 10.6A= 24.29A

Ptotal (Total Power Output) == 24.29A X 33V = 801.56w



Series Connection:

Voltage adds up

Voltage: Combined voltage is Vt1+Vt2 = 42.37v + 40v = 82.37v



Current: Limited by the lower current panel (10.6A).


Ptotal (Total Power Output) = 10.6A X 82.37v = 873.122w


Conclusion

While the series connection yields a higher theoretical power output of approximately 874W, it is limited by the lower-performing panel's current (10.6A). If the 320W panel experiences shading or inefficiencies, the entire output drops significantly.
In contrast, the parallel configuration provides a more reliable output of approximately 802W, ensuring that even if one panel underperforms, the other can still contribute effectively.

Thus, for systems where shading or performance variability is a concern, parallel connection is generally better due to its increased reliability and consistent performance under varying condition

Nice one boss

Good evening. Please, I want to decide between transformer based and hybrid inverter. My installer is saying I should use hybrid because it allows float charge and transformer based does not allow float charge even with an external charge controller. The orientation I have is that transformer based inverter is better than hybrid inverter for tubular batteries. I need advise on the right type of inverter to choose.

I will like to learn from your installer how the float charge of the hybrid is better than the transformer based.
I will advise you change that installer.
Chosing between transformer based inverter and non transformer based is a choice. The two will give you the best irrespective of your battery type. Just make sure you purchase the one with a flexible charging features.

Far cheaper? But just the battery is already really expensive?

Once installers begin to dish false info with confidence better run. It's a sign there are other things he doesn't know and he'll mess up your solar investment.

Wetin concern transformer and floating?

Your question is also wrong. You should be comparing transformer based and transformer-less inverter. There are transformer based that are hybrid and transformer-less that are not hybrid. Hybrid just means that it can handle power sources from solar, battery and grid. They have internal solar charger. Non hybrid does not have solar controller, you need to buy it yourself.

Transformer based is heavy and occupies space but will outlast and outlive transformer-less which easily spoils when a kind of heavy load hits it. It's inverts electronically. Transformer-less are also cheaper.

Choose any one sha, it'll work

how much is the eco delta 2, with basically a 12v 1800w inverter

Hello great people, I have been following this thread for a while, took my time to read through existing pages and was able to extract some information, but I’m really locked in between choosing battery.

Based on my power requirements, I would need at least 10kwh battery, this means the pylontech battery of that capacity will cost 4 million plus while felicity 15kwh (13kwh real capacity) will cost more less

This is not my first solar system, I have a 3.5kva 24v system with 2 flooded batteries and 8 x 300w Siemens panels, my plan is to upgrade to a bigger system using Deye 6kw from odyssey, 12 x 555w jinko panels from Fouani , Felicity battery from Naira lander here or Pylontech from Fouani

I would like to seek advise from people who have already used or installed either the Pylontech or felicity of that capacity, which one to choose considering durability, performance and ease of use.

Furthermore, I don’t want to use custom coupled battery because most of these batteries don’t offer communication port which is essential for the system I’m trying to build

Good day everyone,

I need your expertise. What size (capacity) of inverter would be suitable for my electric stove?

Additionally, can a transformerless inverter power it efficiently?

I look forward to your feedback in the comments section. Thank you

Please for the love of your peace of mind, get rid of that KBC panel, that might be a 100w panel and the labelling is so wrong, full of mistakes. please just get the original jinko panels from recognised dealers.

please if money is not your problem then go for Pylontech and leave Felicity alone. Pylontech is more quality than felicity in terms of their cells.

Personally wouldn't buy something under 6KW for this. 8KW preferably. Keep the inverter unstressed.
