To be honest, l am not a fan of separate Charge Controller and Inverter.
I dont even consider it a cheaper option, in the long run.
Some say it gives them control over their PV aspect of their setup but it is like someone choosing a Manual gear Drive over and Automatic Gear Drive in a Car! When l bought my first Automatic gear Car in year 2000, all my friends said l am "mad" as l wont have "firm control" over the Car. about three years later`, following my experience, they are all converts of Automatic gear.

I think if you use a Hybrid Inverter, it is cheaper than buying them separate, it saves you money of cabling of the two separately and the hybrid has an efficient way of managing the two together and with more advanced Hybrids in the market, they have become more reliable and have large Charging Current range.

But since you have bought the MPPT Controller already, l will suggest you not restrict yourself to that small Inverter, if funds will allow, buy something like 1.5KVA, Pure Sine Wave Inverter, these things get obsolete, very quickly, in terms of your requirement .in the nearest future.
Sorry for the late response.

FireTheSun:



For a Hybrid Inverter, you might want to consider this 3KVA Hybrid Product from Gennex Technologies.

https://shop.gennextechnologies.com/product-category/inverters/

There is Certainty that their Products are Original, What you are buying is Original and you are not bothered or worried whether what you have is a lemon or just stuck with a "label".
Their 3KVA Hybrid @#220K is a good choice, in my own opinion
It can work without battery and has a factor of 1 (energy loss is almost Zero and it is a high Voltage Inverter that can take Panels to almost twice its capacity)

I use their 5KVA Hybrid Inverter and am about to. even Upgrade it to 8KVA, so l can go off the Grid completely.
It is very, very rugged and they are currently doing "SALES".
Their Panels are Original, "Canadian Solar", expensive but the best, in the market.
I have 9KW of those Canadian Solar Panels on my Roof right now.

The choice of LiFePo4 Cells offered by @Valto is a a good one.
You will need to buy a Daly BMS, say 8S, 100A (I am not sure if he has that in Store right now) or from China. (AliExpress)
And we can all guide you on how to set it up here.


Caveat: I am an End User like you so, l am speaking from the POV f a User. I dont sell anything.

gennex na scam. Company dumped me. Fixed my bad inverter and it didn't work at 100k. Returned it for proper check they billed me another 130k. Use them at your own risk. Better get another brand of Hybrid

Are these DC television available in Nigeria and if you can post pictures of the one you have will be nice.

Good day to all the bosses in the house. I really want to appreciate the selfless contributions on this page thus far. I've gotten to a point where I need to delve into DIY solar power generation. Please I'd like to be guided with what my 700k budget can get for me for starters...I intend to go into solar fully but I want to start with this budget. Like for starters I'd be needing it to power 2 ceiling fans, charging of phones, a decoder, charging of a laptop. TVs and others can come in in subsequent upgrades.
Thanks as I eargerly anticipate responses

Good day,
What's the best advisable way to connect PV into 4 parallel inverters?
Can all 4 share 1 string PV input or do they all their own separate string of input

Hello gurus, I’m planning on getting a lithium battery powerbank 500watt inverter with 120,000mah lithium battery inbuilt for a small scale usage … i was told it can be charged via 18v 200watt solar panel

My question is that, will it be a good buy Also does it mean a 12v solar panel can not charge it…. Also if I decide to switch my solar panel to lead acid battery with 12v inverter, can the 18v solar panel charge the lead acid 12v battery ??


…….

Hello,

Please what is the best DIY BMS to buy, I have been researching JBD and also Seplos for the 16S 280Ah lifepo4 battery bank I am planning to build.

What has worked for most people here and which is the best to go for?

Let's assume you are to work or using this device as the owner designed it i.e. laptop, phone charging, DC fans, lights then you can get it for a solar journey but anything more than then it is not a good buy, because the storage is small i.e. looking like a 30Ah battery

and YES! the 200W panel if used together with this will serve you in the future when used with a 100Ah lead battery

felaliveson:


Thank you …… I was told it powers tv + decoder for 6-7 hours … Thats the main purpose, just small load of 32” tv, decoder, phone charging …

What solar setup will you recommend for the usage above


…..

Valto:
get a 100ah 12v lifepo4 lithuim battery, a 30ah pwm cc, 2pcs 150w panel and a 1kva 12v pure sine wave inverter... a good inverter setup is costly, don't waste money those powerbank stuff.

felaliveson:


Thank you, pls add the estimated prices for the above items listed …

….

Valto:
it will cost atleast 350k for all

Waoh!
I feel for you, on your bad experience with Gennex technologies.
Can you give us more details on how your Inverter went bad? What was damaged in it and what caused it?
What are you paying all these money for (#230K ! Is that for just repairs?), when the 5KVA VMIII inverter itself costs just about #395K or so ? (cant remember exactly how much l bought mine) .

I have friends who have been using their Inverters for over two years now, mine is about a Year old and not for once did it have any issue, despite the abuse l have put mine through because it was DIY all the way!
I have had Inverters (non-hybrid) in the past and the experience was not good but the current generation of Genex VMIII Hybrid Inverters are very rugged and all the reviews l have read so far, have given it very high marks.

And their response have been wonderful even as l bought all my Panels from them as well and these are very high end Canadian Panels (595W) x15. They were very supportive during the installation, despite the fact that they were not the ones that l chose to install it (Company Price!).

Anyway, I can imagine the stress you went through, What is beyond Six, is more than Seven, as they say
