I mean that it is better to buy and assemble the parts yourself or contact someone who does. You can read through the thread a few pages back to get a grasp of what I mean

Let's not be too quick to recommend the DIY approach especially for novices who are not comfortable tinkering by themselves and might prefer to just purchase a ready solution. However, if budget is a big issue for you then the DIY approach "can" save you some costs but you will bear responsibility for how good your install is. A simple 12v 800w solar setup can also suffice for your setup. LifeP04 batteries are going to be the major cost for you. You can get a 12v tubular battery at affordable prices since your loads are not major.

Good evening gurus,

Pls I need advice. I have 6 units of 350Watt solar panels and I want to cut down my NEPA electricity bills buy buying this timer switch (from Aliexpress) to allow some selected loads like deep freezer and fridge come on only during the daytime

1) Is this a good idea or are there better ways of cutting down my electricity bills
2) Are these Chinese timer switches safe and reliable or are there better versions of such timer switches

Thanks

What are the solar panels connected to? There are many ways to cut down your electricity bills which running selected loads on solar through a timer is one of. Using energy saving appliances and cutting down on the use of unnecessary electronics is another option

The solar panels are connected to the inverter through the charge controller.

I've already cut down on unnecessary electronics and all my household appliances are energy saving devices

if u have a home wifi, then go for the wifi type. u can set timer, view consumption or switch off and on from anywhere.

DIY experts, need ur help here. Just tried connecting my inverter to the mains. The main changeover is for Nepa(up) and Gen/Inverter (down). The knife switch below is to swap between Gen(left) and Inverter(right). The circuit breaker is between the load input from the changeover and charging point for the inverter. This load input is connected to both phcn and gen so any available would charge the inverter. Issue i have now is anytime i want to use the inverter alone, I have to switch the circuit breaker off or else it wud make noise showing short circuit on its screen. This means If PHCN supplies light, it wont charge until I switch back to PHCN. What can i do to fix this? Thanks

Is it also posible to fix it in such a way that when phcn switches off, inverter comes on immediately? Thanks for ur anticipated help
NB: Still goin to trunk the wires and make it neat, this is just the ow far work's gone

Pls for God's sake, look for someone qualified to do this job for you. Why are you risking your life to save how much exactly? Though "experts" will put you through, good luck.

I strongly echo Oshomo12's advice, get someone qualified to help you get this done safely and learn from that person. DIYing is all fun but you need to have prepped yourself with the correct knowlegde and skills.

I will assist with the general conceptuals trusting you will make the right choices for yourself and loved one's sake.

The current problem with your design is that your PHCN, Gen and Inverter are all feeding thesame load distribution. In fact when that breaker is on, you are very likely backfeeding the inverter hence you see a short circuit error on the display.

The kosher thing to do is to separate out the inverter loads from your main DB - all inverter loads live wires and neutral wires need to be removed from the main DB to a sub DB and supplied directly by the inverter. This sub DB can be as simple as connecting the inverter loads live wires to the inverter AC Out Live and the inverter loads neutral wires to the inverter AC Out Neutral and taping it up.

Essentially the inverter sits between your inverter loads and mains supply (Mains/Gen to ChangeOver/MTS/ATS) so as to give no-break functionality to the inverter loads. See below high level flow diagram - it is missing required breakers, switches, bypasses e.t.c

It is common practice to have a bypass switch between mains supply and inverter AC output in case the inverter fails or to be taken down for maintenance - the knife switch you already have can be repurposed to that need.

Pay particular attention to the area within the dashed lines in the picture below. The inverter charging supply from mains or Gen can also be sourced from the isolated Main DB if that fits your needs better

Hello house.

I have this slightly used 48v 2.5kw lithium battery for sale. Battery was coupled and sold to me by the Jos guy when my lead acid batteries suddenly died on me. I ordered a lithium park from china but couldn’t be in darkness while waiting so bought this from the Jos guy to use temporarily as a stop gap. Battery is well made, contains a bms and a heltec balancer. Perfect for small systems. I used it for 2.5 months and decommissioned as soon as my batteries arrived from china. You can contact me if you have further questions. Price is 350k

I also have a 48v Felicity transformer based inverter. Inverter board was destroyed by thunder and I had it replaced by a generic board. Still works perfectly. 130k give away.

Also available are 2 used 48v ha02 lead acid balancers going for 25k each.

8 battery rack also available. I can send anywhere in Nigeria as the rack can be dismantled. Going for 40k

My WhatsApp is 08038896842, you can reach out. Zeestone is my installer and has been to my house many times so can vouch for my integrity.

Pictures below.

Thank you house.

Yeah sure, had someone come do it while I was observing. Hes not done yet buh here so i can also tap knowledge from the experts on what next to do

If i wasnt seperating any load for the inverter, is it possible to put a knife switch between the output from the changeover and the output from the inverter with the knifeswitch output goin into the mains? The charging point for the inverter would still come from where it is.
