Felicity is not bad if you have the budget you may do growatt but 5kw is too much, you can do 2 to 3kw
Thanks boss.
That means i have to do a 3/3.5kva inverter too right?

Good morning guys. Great job youre doing here and thanks for all your efforts. I read almost everything here(though I don't understand all).
Please i want to ask, is felicity a good brand as i'm considering buying a 5kw lithium ion and a 5kva inverter of felicity soon. Is there another better alternative to felicity around the same price range?
And i don't know if i can get any advice if those 5kw and 5kva are too much because what i mostly want is my game console and tv with fridge and a couple perimeter lights to run for cumulative of say 6hrs. Those total load is like 1100w thoughit is only 600w (tv and game) that will take the bulk time. Lights are only on at night and fridge only during the day.
Is hybrid inverter better or shouldi go for inverter and charge controller separately?
Thanks for your anticipated response.
PS: We do have PHCN for around 6hr/day

For the battery, it's better you purchase 200ah (200ah * 25.6v = 5120W) Lifepo4 from @Valto.

With coupled LFP you are sure of getting real capacity.

@Valto such question is partly the reason I said it's always good to post price of any products posted . Some prospective clients might have some questions but don't even know how to ask.

Valto is the only one I know who couples LFP, but others can equally post their prices if they couples as valto does.

For a load of 1100W I believe 5kva is too much as the idle consumption will take much from your battery. You are better with 2.5kva - Max 3kva.

I am even considering running equivalent or a little less load on 1.6kva inverter.

Please guys I will like to know or be enlightens why people the dislike of hydrib inverters (with solar charger controller and battery) don't know why most folks prefer to get individual pieces rather than going to all in one


Could it be there are not durable or what

For me I felt there are cheaper and take little space

That just my beginner option what do local man knows

Lol for my little time I have notice the opposite...
People actually like the hybrid than the separate kind of inverters... I begin to wonder why no one wants to go for the charge controller and inverter separately

Good point you have raised Bro.

I was exactly where you are some years back, wondering which is better, a hybrid or independent units.

The truth is even with higher initial costs of some brands, a hybrid inverter can pay off in the long run by giving you a solar inverter that maximizes the operations of your PV system. A hybrid inverter can help reduce your reliance on the grid, lower your carbon footprint, enjoy advanced monitoring tools, and enhance your power generation.

Hybrid inverters have the ability to work without batteries or solar panels as the case may be.

Hybrid inverters are a new piece of solar technology that combines the benefits of a traditional solar inverter with the flexibility of a battery inverter into a single device. A hybrid inverter is an up-and-coming solution for homeowners who want to install a solar power system that has room for future upgrades, including a battery storage system.

Normal Inverters on the other hand, require a Charge Controller to charge your bateries in the absense of Grid power, Some Normal inverters will not start up without batteries.

Another very important difference is that Normal inverters tends to consume your batteries more than a hybrid Inverter with or without loads connected.

And the list continues. Do yourself a wider research and choose wisely..

I'm still looking for 5kw 48v inverter with the following parameters:
1. Zero load power/idle power consumption <60w.
2. Mppt operating voltage range 60v to 150v.
Multiplus Victron 5kw 48v (zero load consumption 30w/35w, zero load power in search mode 10w/15w. 30kg) with its Mppt 150/60A has all that I need but I may need up to about 2m to acquire them.
Growatt has 5kw 48v spf hvm model with built in pure copper low frequency transformer/in build Mppt with operating voltage range 60v to 145v and 150v max open circuit voltage (41kg net weight) that suit my demand as well but I'm afraid of idle power consumption as it wasn't stated in its data sheet.
Please, let me know if anyone knows any inverter that will meet the above requirements.

I have 4units of Felicity IVEM5048 (5KVA 48V) Inverter with almost zero Idle Power Consumption (0-25W)
3 are less than a week old, 1 is less than 2 months old. Everything functioning, no faults, no repairs of any kind, firmwares updated to Latest V14.02, warantee seals are intanct..
Reason for selling is that I finally recived my 16KW DEYE I ordered.
You can reach me on 08033252184 for a video call so that you can see them functioning, I will be decommisioning them in a few days

So I have decided to make all my outdoor lighting smart by installing photocell sensors, so there is no need to turn them off and on, they should turn on and off automatically.

If anyone has done this before, which I believe someone has, please let me know what brand you recommend.

As for the indoor lighting, I which to install motion sensors, so if there is no one in the room, the lights should go off. So same question again, please let me know what brand you recommend.

It will make my alternative power setup last longer.

Thanks in advance.

I have visited a facility that does this, and they said that it made a world of difference to their electricity bills.

Just beginning my research on this, and I will share my findings

I actually had this running in my house, 1 Photocell powering 8x 30w VellMax Flood lights. they go on at dark and go off on day break.
I then did a little upgrade to it by adding Solar Street Lights, they go on at dark and go off at daybreak too, but during rain season when the solar street lights don't get enough charge, they would turn off on or before midnight, So I changed my Photocell to a programmable timer that turns on the 30W flood lights by midnight and turn them off by 6AM..

Peace.

Great work boss.

I have long looked at the serial ports on those Mustpower type form factors and wondered what wonders they could yield up but never been motivated to investigate their capabilities.

Please I want to reach out to you on how you accomplished the firmware updates and sourced the firmware - I am assuming you used the serial ports.

May be interested as well in 1 inverter for my lab.
