HeavenlyBang:


I have the 580w. Three of them in series and get ~146v

So you should be getting around 47v from yours typically.

FEGEITOK:


I have seen people keep it by the frontage if it is a storey building.

Seen someone whose own was installed by or on the the fence here.

That may also be an option.

I pray you move to a better place

Danibestguy:

Averagely? That's great!! Are yours facing 0°south as well?

ask4bk:

The panels are even too much. Every day before 10:30am battery is fully charged from what was used at night. Even yesterday when there was no strong sun but cloud, it was giving 2.4kwh at 9am

Danibestguy:

There's barely space for walking. No space at all for the port. Only choice is the roof.

TEQ365VENTURES:
Good afternoon experts in the house please I have the following solar set up and I just noticed my inverter hardly charge when during the day when there is sun. However, holds charge well when charged with nepa.

10 pcs 300w panels
4kva microtek inverter (transformer based)
60A charge controller sunfield

Below is what’s coming from the controller 5A and the highest I’ve gotten recently is 10.5A

Trippledots:
Has anybody here used Cworth 4kw hybrid inverter? Does it have issues charging an LFP battery from grid?

I installed one recently and noticed it charges from grid. However, if there is supply interruption and it is restored the battery will refuse to charge except the inverter is shutdown and restarted. 🤔

Any experiences or opinions is welcome

odimbannamdi:


How do you mean by Off-grid in this instance?

How did you determine that 4 panels of the 615w (totally 2,460w) will take him offgrid on an average daily usage of 7kwh?

Loneley:
Will do when I get home, thanks.

Still, it doesn't matter how long it charges full from the panels or public power, like for example, last Sunday, there was light throughout.

Yet, once they took the light, battery indicator immediately dropped by almost half.

Hi bro what's your honest review about gsr battery

HeavenlyBang:


Due to roof constraints, west.

Loneley:
Bro,

It's been over 18 months, and I can't say I've had anything to complain about.

Turned out my observation the other time revolved around its "floating voltage" or so.

Trippledots:


Do a fence mount. Just make sure shadow is not cast over it during the day

Danibestguy:

How many hours of useful sunlight do you get per day?
Mine will most likely be facing 53° southwest coz of the same restraint. Hope it's good?

Danibestguy:

Landlord said no. I might just have to use just that one.

oladele239:


Pls link me with the supplier
I need 2
Please reach me on WhatsApp if you don't mind
My digit is in my siggy

obitobe:
what make of panels are this and what wattage

Trippledots:


Are the panels Canadian solar?
How did the installer connect them?
What's their rough azimuth value, I mean their elevation and orientation?
Any shading on them?

Danibestguy:

Landlord said no. I might just have to use just that one.

Ray1251:
"I'm seeking advice on upgrading my mother's solar power setup on a limited budget. She lives in an area with an unreliable power supply. Currently, she has 3 × 100W solar panels, a 220Ah tubular battery, and a 1kVA inverter that needs repairs. Due to the worsening power situation, I'm considering upgrading to a 2kVA Sako hybrid inverter and replacing the existing panels with 3 × 550W panels while reusing the 220Ah battery.
Does this approach seem reasonable given the budget constraints?

Ithream:
E11 error on my PWM controller.

I know that this indicates that the battery is low. But even though I keep charging the battery, this error keeps popping up. Pls what do I do?

mctfopt:


Battery could be bad or controller has developed a fault.

Ithream:

Oh interesting. It’s a LifePO4 battery and I have changed the “battery type” settings from “5-3.2” to “4-3.2” I.e for a LifePo4 battery, and right now the error is gone. But I guess I have done this b4 and the error managed to come back then. I am still novice to Solar anyways.

If this fault is from the PWM controller or battery I can’t really tell too.

Drgreatone:

As u no mention budget, ow do we know its constrained 😁😁😁. You are on the right path. However depending on her daily loads, u cud get away wit 2

Bb007:
Please is anyone here using a solar water pump or have installed one. I am looking at installing one in an area with no light to pump water, but i can't find much information online.

Compared to setting up a small inverter system to pump the water, which will be cheaper if one is working on a budget?
