What's the consensus on GA Solar?

As good as Jinko?

I am guessing you are referring to JA Solar.

They are also a Tier-1 rated solar panel. Their 550W panel and above use their Deep Blue 3.0 technology.

However, i also highly recommend Trina Solar Panels. They have an authorized distributor Solarpowertal & website you can order from.

They currently stock 380W and 540W panels. I particularly like the 540W Vertex panels because they have the largest cells at 210mm compared to the competition.

Canadian solar also has the 210 mm wafer for their hiku7 series of solar panels. They are in the same class as Trina vertex panels

Insufficient pv is also a reason for not discharging up to that. People like to take out what they can comfortably put in.

Perhaps you meant insufficient PV and storage? I think one should know that occasionally you may need to deep discharge especially with lithium where it doesn't hurt.

It does not necessarily mean insufficient PV as infact the bank could have been full before sundown and by next morning you are at 10% SOC left. Should that be planned with? no as I personally use 80% to plan lifepo4 but you need to ensure your system can safely go that far whenever it's required.

I really appreciate this.

The inability to see Jinko 540 or 550 watts and not knowing its equivalents has been a sore thorn in my side.

Will review both brands and make my choice

In other words, whether I go Canadian or Trina.

I can't go wrong!

Thanks.

Of course. They are all tier1 panels. I remember back then people on this forum dissed jinko, it took a lot of convincing to educate them that panels are rated by their categories and not name.
Some b like what kind of name is jinko. It must be fake and only Canadian Solar is original

Hello good people, I wonder why no one talks about the huge amount of units consumed through charging the batteries if your setup is tied to the grid.
Na die o! in my opinion doesn't make sense right now because the point of going solar is to save money eventually.
This doesn't apply to folks using
only backup generator to supplement production during long stretches of outage.
Please share your experiences, thanks

You are not alone bro... At some point, I had to look through the grid source lines after my meter to be sure neighbour's are not tapping my line, but of course, it's almost impossible because all cables are conduit just after the meter.

So seating down to analyse, what I see happening is that, we pay for grid even when no national grid.

Assuming you have 100% charge of your battery, and grid goes out to the time your battery becomes 50%, once grid is restored, your battery begins to charge while your appliances are also in use, this process draws so much current to fill in the gap on both the battery and the appliances..., putting off the inverter once grid is off or putting off basic appliances makes no sense otherwise what's the need to having a non stop power supply going solar... The only way out is to use the sun via panels

Sincerely, I think this is it... Let's wait for the SMEs to tell us more!

Lol @checking if your lines were tapped but I feel you 100%. You're on point bro, surely there has to be a way around this.

I wanted to go big.

You can start small.

Get top tier panels.

Get a decent charge controller, not necessarily the one with all the bells and whistles.

More cost effective than paying PHCN.

The other issue is that I slowed down to really understand the solar ecosystem before plunging funds into it

I agree, going big will ensure the system can sustain itself without the need to be grid tied but how many people can go big at once?

No one tells the regular 5kv 24v system guy that this is a problem to take note of

I also diverted the funds to fund another major purchase.

So I have to refill the financial tank.

Not everyone has the luxury of taking on several massive projects at once

There is an algorithm called Energy Storage System (ESS) on the Victron side that prioritises solar and battery usage over grid. Grid is essentially a tap that can be opened full throttle or restricted as the user wishes - you could be running 3000w of loads and only using 120w of grid for example. The grid behaviour is SoC driven and the system can be set not to charge batteries from the grid.

The Axpert and Deye type inverters also have a more coarse algorithm called 'SBU priority' - there are also a couple of other iterations of this scheme. Essentially solar and battery usage come first then you set the low battery voltage level at which the system defaults to back to grid usage.

All these schemes let you manage your grid usage else with a basic inverter, grid is being used to run all loads and charge battery even when solar is available and sufficient at that time window which is a terrible waste. People manually switch off the mains or use a battery sensing relay + contactor to disconnect mains as they see fit.

One area where the Victron ESS excels is that you can set a miserly use of PHCN units and simultaneously set the system to very greedily gobble up available energy if your Gen is on - you get the best of both worlds as well as the ability to adjust these settings on the fly.

This makes sense! Strong selling point and reason to get a Victron inverter I guess. While we ponder on this option/save up to get one, we're on our own?

Provided that solar panels are connected.

My puny inverter will prioritize solar over grid.

The issue is that the inverter has a PWM charge controller and I know that an MPPT is better.

So that is certainly an option if you don't mind the low yields of PWM charge controller.

I have a famicare inverter and another external Yohako 100a. mppt CC and they don't seem to have a flexible ESS, SBU or similar algorithms Mr Niyi mentioned that will enable me to prioritise solar and batteries ahead of the grid.
The problem might not lie with your PVM but the inverter specs


I stand to be corrected

The Axpert family e.g Felicity, Zinox, Gennex, Sorotec, Phocos, Steca and all their grey market and rebrand ilk have some sort of solar then battery then utility priority built into them.

These also come with decent MPPTs built in.

The problem with the el cheapos is not a lack of features but rather scrimping on protections and critical ratings, poor isolation of the electronics and internals, flaky/buggy behaviour and a lack of robustness to deliver the promised performance long term.
