Good day my people can anyone reconfigure 2set of 5kws of 24v Felicity Lithium battery to 48v? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by earthrealm(m): 8:08am On Jan 03, 2023 |
Emyfine08 Submersible/sumo pump installed 700ft down is likely going to be a monster, above 10hp. Lemme assume 10hp which is about 8kw, you would need minimum 250% of this in panels to ensure the sumo works decently during the day. Ie 20kw panels, say 35 pieces of 600w panels. also some brands/models of sumo dont have startup surge, . Such models would be best for you in this scenario. I have a 250watts sumo/submersible pump like that, zero start up surge, infact you can pump water with i pass my nebo gen or 500w inverter.but its limited to 120ft water head/depth. Am unsure if such design is available for higher wattage sumo Its best you get the exact consumption or rating of the pump to guide in the calculations. If funds are a constraint, you can consider powering such a pump in battery less mode, with just panels and inverter. Till you confirm the rating of the pump, all this would be in realm of conjecture |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by sintolord(m): 9:12am On Jan 03, 2023 |
[quote author=NiyiOmoIyunade post=119625426]. If a 1.5hp pump is drawing 1.8kw for its regular run then it is either ancient or inefficient or falsely labelled (should have a higher hp value stuck on for the duty cycle it can actually handle) Dear Niyi, the power consumption of submersible pumpd Earthrealm stated is what most of us see everyday. My 1.5 HP gulps btw 1700w to 1800w. Initially, power consumption was btw 2000w to 2200w. I had to double the size of the cable to 5mm2 before power consumption dropped to 1700w to 1800w. You should also know this, most of us buy the Chinese pumps. The efficiency of this categories of pumps are low. Only very few people buy the very expensive pumps made in Germany or Italy. Just the same way, only very few people buy Victron. So Oga Niyi, the power consumption Earthrealm mentioned a while back is the reality of most of us. 3 Likes |

Good morning everyone. I intend getting a 7.5kva or 10kva felicity hybrid inverter and 8 flooded battery coupled with 12 380watts solar panels. What brand of battery is recommended for use, and also is there a recommended seller in the house that has these items? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by zeestone99(m): 9:40am On Jan 03, 2023 |
drizzypat: I must have missed the gist. What happened and what do you need to repair sir. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by zeestone99(m): 9:43am On Jan 03, 2023 |
christy99: You might want to increase your pv. It also depends on how well you will discharge your batteries. You can use any battery type depending on application and how it suits your budget. What are your loads |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mangolpupa: 9:45am On Jan 03, 2023 |
christy99: Morning. As for the felicity hybrid inverter. I saw a thread sometime ago where @jonescosmo put for sale his 5kw hybrid felicity inverter (x3) as he was upgrading his solar setup. You may want to get in touch with him for finer details. Personally I would recommend an AGM, Lithium ion or Lifepo4. Experts here have spoken highly of Quanta AGM battery. @valto supplies good lifepo4 batteries. Other members can advise on good battery distributors. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by zeestone99(m): 9:45am On Jan 03, 2023 |
emyfine08: No. But you can contact Felicity engineers if the bms in their batteries allows that. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by NiyiOmoIyunade(m): 9:49am On Jan 03, 2023 |
My Oga, Yes, I am well aware of this reality - apologies as I was being rather mean/insensitive. At some point, a discussion about how one could safely and reliably make a lean system power relatively large loads assisted by solar got hijacked by side engagements about the efficiency and energy consumption of various pumps and the superiority of LFP to lead acid. My apologies again please. sintolord: NiyiOmoIyunade: 1 Like |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by zeestone99(m): 9:51am On Jan 03, 2023 |
Sheisenough01: Confirm that your batteries absorb properly. Second 4 fans, tv, lighting and miscellaneous is no small load on 2 batteries. Lastly you should consider the self consumption of your inverter. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by christy99: 9:54am On Jan 03, 2023 |
zeestone99:Please what do you mean by PV? I currently have a 3.5kva inverter with two dry cell batteries and four solar panels installed but I intend going off grid hence why I'm upgrading my setup. Loads will be majorly two LG dual inverter AC of 1hp each, thermocool freezer of about 150watts, LG inverter fridge of about 130watts, two LG inverter TVs and led lights of say 20 at a time with each being 5w. Also Microwave to be put on Alone after Putting off the ACs |

Am late to the party and I'm seeing victron flying everywhere. When you talk of victron in our renewable energy world, it's like rolls royce in automobile industry. You can't buy a car for over 400million naira and not expect the best of engineering. Also if you don't have that moni to spill, u cant Kee yourself ![]() ![]() 4 Likes |

mangolpupa:Thank you very much, lithium battery price would be too much to handle at this current time so I might have to go with the AGM, please any idea on the prices? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by earthrealm(m): 10:02am On Jan 03, 2023 |
emyfine08: It should be doable, if you are ready to void the felicity waranty. You just need a new bms, a new metal case..chikena. The 2 felicity packs will be gutted/dismantled, cells top balanced and put in a new case, a suitably sized bms installed, and voila you have a 48v lithium pack 5 Likes |

Good day house, Please can anyone with information on the difference between these three Felicity 5kva 48v inverter models help enlighten me. FL-IVPM5048 FL-IVPS5048 FL-IVEM5048 |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Sheisenough01: 10:13am On Jan 03, 2023 |
zeestone99: Thanks for your response. On the absorption how will I do that? The fans are low consumption fans 45w - 75 w, lights are led lights, TV is not always on. My major suspect is the battery never full issue. I saw another user vta2008 had the same issue. Previously I used two dry cell batteries with a sine wave inverter and it went for 10 hours on the same load. So I doubt the issue is load. The batteries are charged with both electricity and solar panels. NiyiOmoIyunade will love your view and that of others on this. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by NiyiOmoIyunade(m): 10:21am On Jan 03, 2023 |
IVPM models are low frequency transformer based inverters with MPPT - the IVPM5048 should have a 120a MPPT bundled in IVPS models are low frequency transformer based inverters - NO MPPT IVEM models are high frequency hybrid inverters. The current iterations can do PV voltage up to 450v DC. People colloquially call the high frequency inverters 'transformerless' but technically that is not the case. xclusive43: 3 Likes |

christy99: You welcome. I think between 150k -220k depending on capacity but dont quote me ![]() Please check with @Kieki1 or any other member that sells or recommends a direct source distributor, he should be in a better position to tell you prices as he deals with solar batteries, inverters etc. Best wishes. 1 Like |

christy99:stay away from those cheap 120k to 170k 200ah AGM. a very good 200ah AGM battery price is now equivalent to lithium battery. e.g, original 200ah amaron quanta is now around 220 to 230k, fullriver and ritar are all above 200k. my 12v 135ah lifepo4 lithium is almost the same price. and u can deplete to 90% 3 Likes |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by drizzypat: 3:50pm On Jan 03, 2023 |
Hello so today my tech engr came in. He said it's the inverter he turned it on and there was a spark sound from the inverter itself, he then suggested to have it fixed that it'll be favorable My only issue now is will the cost to have it fixed not be up to half the must inverter itself?he said it's a board thing. What do suggest guys.. Spend to fix or result to getting another ... I'm talking on a long TERM basis I am completely off grid! @NiyiOmoIyunade @zeestone99 @mangolpupa @jonescosmo |
