isangjohnson: Yes. I presume you mean that the changeover switch will determine which inverter outputs to the house. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by isangjohnson: 8:43am On Nov 20, 2022 |
durodee:Yes boss. Kindly drop a skeletal diagram. Thanks |

isangjohnson: While this is possible it is also cumbersome. The 5kw can also work in the night. These machines are designed to work 24 hours. |

Please recommend a 2.5 - 3.5 KVa inverter to me Something with low idle consumption and has all the necessary features and isn't a waste of money Something I can use with both Grid (+Gen) charging alone, and add Solar Panels later. |

coldcandy:Why is it cumbersome? It just involves shifting a knife switch up and down. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by earthrealm(m): 12:41pm On Nov 20, 2022 |
durodee: Coldcandy. What he meant being cumbersome is the outdated design of having 2 inverters and or battery bank..for daytime and nighttime usage. Its super cumbersome and makes no sense in the present day with low idle /self consumption hybrids. A new model 8kw hybrid inverter has about 70watts to 100watts idle consumption, while the old traditional transformer based 8kw inverter will have idle consumption in excess of 250watts 1 Like |

isangjohnson:I can see you have been answered. An appropriately sized regular knife switch will do. I had three inverters connected at a point: (1) 6kw transformer based (2) 3.4kva hybrid Gennex (3) 1.4kva Sukam all to a 24v 800amp sealed battery setup. The 6kva carry the whole house- ACs ,oven etc .Only used occasionally. The 3.4kva is the workhorse. On during the day, fridge and pumping machine on timer on it. In case the 3.4kva is faulty, the 1.4kva Sukam comes on board as backup to provide power for basic household needs. All the inverters are permanently connected but 1and 3 usually switched off. Inverter 1 and 2 AC output goes to one Changeover and the output of that and inverter 3 goes to another changeover before finally to the DB for inverter and then to the house. There is a however a direct wiring between inverter 1 to the main house DB so that the whole house is supplied . I also have a standalone 60amp MPPT Cc connected to my battery bank to ensure adequate charging of my bank

Ok . I see his point now. My usage of multiple inverters has been more for redundancy as I have explained above rather than having different banks. earthrealm: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by isangjohnson: 1:25pm On Nov 20, 2022 |
coldcandy:I understand your point but if one has a small system running and plans to upgrade to a bigger system, instead of allowing the small (backup) system to stay idle, using it to run smaller loads at night while allowing a bigger system to sleep shouldn't be a bad idea. 2 Likes |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by isangjohnson: 1:39pm On Nov 20, 2022 |
earthrealm:I guess you're referring to a case of getting two new inverters installed, but I'm referring to a case of upgrading where a smaller (already installed) system could complement a bigger one (yet to install). 1 Like |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Juror: 3:36pm On Nov 20, 2022 |
isangjohnson: Yes, it's possible. I guess you're trying to use a low consumption inverter at night. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Fapemz: 3:37pm On Nov 20, 2022 |
earthrealm: Thanks for the recommendation Sir! We don't take it for granted. The truth is that there is a great number of people whose basic power needs can be met by our small power solution but they are mainly ill-informed or lost in the crowd. Alternative energy is a game changer but a lot are still not well educated about it all. 1 Like

AshipaEk0: Those 3 ceiling fans consuming 180w shouldn't be in your system at all, replace them with Qasa DC/AC ceiling fans. It's a no brainer. 1 Like |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by TechGeek777: 2:38am On Nov 21, 2022 |
Valto: Do you mind stating the amount for fully coupled 135ah @24v & 12v respectively? If one is going for 24v route, does one need battery balancer and dedicated 24v LFP charger? TBB 1.6KVA-24V has 25A charger, is this sufficient to charge the above battery capacity? TBB 1.2KVA-12V has 40A charger, if one decide to go 12v route, is dedicated LFP still needed? Please answer above questions respectively. |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by earthrealm(m): 9:29am On Nov 21, 2022 |
chipsypop: your cooling fan may have stopped working/become defective. ensure your grid/nepa is clean voltage and within the 190v to 240v range, or best get a 3kva and above stabilizer and connect your inverter. consider changing the fan if your voltage is clean and the fan still doesn't kick in |

Please experts in the house I need help, my budget is max #300k and I need something that can power my house because PHCN is getting crazy, A friend advised me to go for this beebeejump because that's what he is using too and another friend advised I go for the Qasa solar generator � Now I'm confused about what's best , My house One TV One Fan Home Theater Decoder 2 laptop Phones 4 bulbs, There is AC and Fridge but I can use those ones on PHCN when they give light Please what do u think is the best option for me ?? Thanks in advance �� |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Juror: 3:39pm On Nov 21, 2022 |
earthrealm:I don't have a link, I usually just search for vendors and marketers when I need them, I think I've installed over 14 units for different users. The minimum level using the remote (the wall unit tends to act up after sometime) is around 4Watts and it increases by almost 4Watts for every next level, personally even the third - fourth level is too much for me but the max it can go is 36W. I've installed some using 12V 2A adapters and they work within the range. 3A adapters are usually tough to find and I'd have to import a lot for use, but the good thing is that with the recent versions, Qasa now includes an inbuilt AC to DC supply with the wall unit and also a DC -DC converter, and it has multiple power inputs, you can input even a DC/solar panel directly or just connect AC supply. 1 Like |

Let me mention that the Qasa AC/DC standing fan consumes less too, of course it works only via the DC supply but the AC/DC wall fan consumes a lot when you power it via the AC port. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by TechGeek777: 4:00pm On Nov 21, 2022 |
Juror: I will also buy Vision Light control monitor for it. Is it same thing with the control unit you are talking about? Can you help to answer if dedicated 12v LFP charger is needed for TBB 1.6KVA 24V Inverter? Also if dedicated 12v LFP charger is needed for TBB 1.2KVA Inverter? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by TechGeek777: 4:17pm On Nov 21, 2022 |
Valto: But nothing stops you from stating the amount for fully coupled 135ah LFP with 120a bms inclusive. It would help other potential buyers to avoid pricing when reaching it. 3 Likes |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by AshipaEk0: 5:03pm On Nov 21, 2022 |
Juror: Basically, if I buy a Qasa DC ceiling fan,. I can swap out my current AC fan with it? No stories, no hassle, nothing to buy in addition? |
