After a long musing finally took the plunge and laid me a MPP 8048 MAX since some of us have takenn to DEYE wanted to but decided to try the new MAX, so now i want to give out my original MPP 5048ms and the steca Solarix 4048 which i parralled but decide to go the 8KW route
both is under vhb please get in touch if someone takes both i will add my 6 input combiner box gratis to it. Will be sold as clearance sale.
Paralle cards will be sold as well together

I hear the max is good as well, do you now get that locally?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 9:43pm On Jul 15, 2021
Based on your initial post

I don't know of 384V 30KVA though, 192V is what I know of and Kartel, Eastman, luminous and genus and a few other brands have them in three phase.

Also confirm with battery spec. And datasheet to confirm you can do high voltage connections with them as couple of known lithium batteries are more of parallel connections.

SuleimanKano:
I have suggested to client to go for three units of GoodWe 10kw (Comes with 4 MPPTs per Inverter). They prefer one unit of 30kva 384v as they'll be utilizing 8 units of 10kw 48v Lithium Battery.

Woah!
Your separate setup is lovely, but maybe be costly.

May I know the name and the kva of your larger inverter and the size of the battery used?

I guess your victon Phoenix uses 2x12vx200Ah.

What is your total watt of the panels used for the two setup and are they wiring separately?

I was actually looking at the cost of two inverter, two cc, cables and others.

Enjoy your investment boss.

Solution: no choice using grid more than before, have to listen to the voice of the batteries which is the voice wisdom .

Looking at this unsmiling weather in the south, I was thinking of splitting my intending setup.
1) 2x12vx230Ah battery bank, 1.5kva inverter with 40A mppt charge controller and 5x320w mono panels.
2) 2x12vx230Ah battery bank, 2kva inverter with 60A mppt charge controller and 5x320w mono panels.

This may attract additional cost compare to single unit, but it may help my tubular batteries to always remain in float mode.
It may also put my mind at rest even when I'm out of town as I intend to put 1 freezer and 1 freeze in system 2 while fans and lighting will go
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by isangjohnson: 9:46am On Jul 16, 2021
Fans, tv and lighting will go to system 2.

Please, what are your opinions?

Are you servicing a whole community.....that's a very big inverter. That capacity is humongous. For efficiency, why not consider 5kva/8kva 48v hybrid and parallel them
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by litaninja(m): 2:05pm On Jul 16, 2021
Greetings o!
Been a bit tied up due to work plus other commitments so I haven't been able to provide an update on my tests.
Battery has been performing reasonably well so far without any scientific testing / measurements, although to give NEPA credit, they've been providing 20 - 24hours of power for a while.
We have had only 2 days of continuous power failure where a HT cable was faulty. The battery provided power at night while solar was available to charge full during those 2 days.

So I carried out a quick test with the following method / results.
- I noticed that the voltage reading on the battery indicator differed slightly from what the inverter was showing so I decided not to follow the indicated voltage / percentage
- Set the inverter to cut off at 21V
- With the battery at 27.2V, I raised my consumption to a fairly steady 1200W (1000W hotplate and a couple of other appliances)
- Shut down my grid and solar input
- Started a stopwatch
I had the whole setup running for about 3hours 43mins when the power tripped off suddenly. I checked and confirmed that it was indeed the battery BMS that cut off and not the inverter. Multimeter showed the battery still at an output of ~23V.
- A quick calculation shows that i was able to pull ~4400Wh from the battery before it cut off at about 23V.

Since this is short of the expected 5.2KWh and 21V low voltage cut off the manufacturer told me to expect, I put a call across to them for clarification. After explaining my settings of 27.2V Float and 28.2V Bulk charging to them, they called back and explained that I need to raise the float and bulk to 28.8V for at least 2 weeks to allow the balancer properly balance the cells/battery. They also explained that it was likely that a couple of the cells were at a lower voltage hence triggering the entire battery to shutdown before the expected 21V.

I'll adjust the settings once I get back in later on this weekend, run for 2 weeks and carry out another test to confirm.

cry cry oh yea, for those running smart home devices, backup the configurations regularly o!!!. The sudden power trip off while i was testing caused EVERY SINGLE SMART DEVICE in my place to lose their settings. EVERY SINGLE SMART DEVICE!!! E shock me o.

Hello, Any update on your battery. I am seriously considering purchase and have also gone to the workshop (its close to my area) and as you said he was a reassuring bizowner.

Thanks

You still on this matter.
Just get 1 Hybrid inverter 48V 5.5KW with 100Amp 6KWp, you can get it as cheap as lower than 220K, though not readily available, you have to wait 2 weeks for it to be shipped and you get it in Naija around 2 weeks after that's 1 month wait..

XT60 plugs - can support up to 40amps. Have a couple of these but I don't think the distance will be worth the shipping to you.

Developing in Nigeria. This is a good thing. I just wonder why the Federal Government. I believe it should be more of private investment. The government has never really done anything right.

By next quarter, the thing may not even be working again if it is being ran by the FG we all know.

Decided to do a turn around in my system.

Bought 4 no's of 12v 205AH Trojan batteries, for my 2kva inverter.

Connection is 2 series, 2 parallel connection giving me 24v 420AH

Trojan is quite expensive, buy I hope it last as advertised
