I don't think the yohako CC is bad. That is if it's really mppt. Infact I prefer it to makeskyblue. The major mistake you made is buying a 5kw 24v instead of 48v. Hope your cables are minimum 35mm2 or higher? Get solar flood lights that charge and come on @ night. You can monitor your CC and know the highest watts you have gotten from your installed panel capacity before changing your SCC.
Famicare really suprised me,as their 3.5kva 24v my bro bought has an idle consumption of 18 watts! Which is even better than my axpert 3kva. Also its power factor is about 0.95 (yea we measured) an impressive feat considering most Indian low freq inveter are pf 0.8.

I won't iron with any type of inverter.

Except I have a lot of batteries

Penuelseun:
it should work if you can get a charger that fits the voltage and current range of the solar panel

odimbannamdi:
Clearance sales!

60A Powmr MPPT Solar Charge Controller available

Price: 60,000

Sapiosexuality:
How does know that this is still functional or good?

I'm still assembling so I'm buying them one by one.

odimbannamdi:


I am not sure I understand your question. Please clarify

Nomyth:


Thanks man.

I've looked at the manual and the carton, these technical details are missing.

Will a laptop charger do just fine or are there special chargers?

Guys, I want to get Charge Controller from odimbannamdi, I just want to know if he is legit in relation to my money?

Btw, I took his permission to ask this.

I'm curious to know how you measured the pf.

ojeysky:


It's brand new not yet used so there is a very high chance it works when you add PV to it (which is how you know it's good)

Sapiosexuality:
Thanks. But what's PV?

Namzy:


We were able to run an 1.5 ton lg inverter ac, microwave, freezer and fridge totalling about 3000w simultaneously and inverter display was 92% load. At least its more than pf 0.8 for sure

mctfopt:


That's impressive from Famicare, a brand I thought is one of the worst thing to happen to Nigeria

Didn't think they have it in them to make products that are awesome. Thanks for the heads up.

It means photovoltaic that is solar panels

I am not sure that this is the way to measure pf or inverter efficiency especially when you mix inductive and reactive loads together.

Also doubtful the accuracy and precision of any sensors or meters in a budget inverter.

This is the sort of (mis)approximation that may guide someone to make a subpar decision with a great degree of confidence.

To do this assessment properly, one has to separate between the pf distortion created by the loads and the energy conversion efficiency and measurement accuracy of the inverter itself - these are just a few issues to consider and things can get very complicated from here.

If I could put it in simple terms, a horribly designed inductive load will run inefficiently on an average inverter just thesame as it would run inefficiently on a premium and very well designed inverter - one cannot credit the energy/power losses to the inverter in this case.

The inverter was not used to measure the load, rather a fangpusun bmv 700. The 92% indicator was on the inverter display. Before said inveter{famucare 3.5kva} was bought I thought it would do max 2800w but for it to exceed 3000 watts without overload error is a win for me

Tsuccesssquare:
Greetings to all Gurus in the house.

I need solar inverter setup for my three bedroom, 2.5KVA should be fine for the things I wish to power.

Average cost of 2.5kva from all the online vendors have checked seems to be around 900k to 1m. Crux is am not sure of the quality of what I would get hence I might have to go through the DIY option. Get all the materials needed and pay an installer to fix all.

Gurus in the house, kindly help with items I would need for this setup and likely amount for installation.

Thank you.

Juror:

Can I see a picture of the inverter?
