But I did mention the Axpert/Voltronic family and Deye as well boss ![]() ![]() ![]() 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. toyeoye: |

toyeoye: This shouldn't be an issue, if you are using a decent hybrid inverter with adequate solar panels, just set it on solar priority. if you don't have solar, switching off the inverter so as to use the charged energy in the battery is not a good idea, reeks of ignorance, batteries are not 100% efficient, worse leadacid batteries, they have about average of 75% efficiency while lithium battery has about 95% efficiency. so if you take out 1kwh from leadacid, you would need theoretically about 1.3kwh to replace this energy and may get as high as 1.7kwh, if theprocess starts and stops before the battery is full. while an equivalent lithium battery may take about 1.15kwh . 3 Likes |

toyeoye: That's why you need our smart inverter. it's multifunctional settings Allows you to set priority i.e choose between Grid and battery priority set charging current from 0 - 30amps Set different charging voltage parameters Set equalization mode Get this if you need that smart rugged inverter that can perform functions close to hybrid. The battery mode allows you to bypass mains and not charge your battery. This is good for my solar power folks that worry about inverter consuming their phcn units.

For those having issues of grid consuming their units during charging. Many low frequency inverters (transformerless inverters) are dumb. That's why people go hybrid, sadly not everyone likes hybrids. We now have smart transformerless inverters for you. You no longer have to worry about your inverter charging your batteries anytime there is grid supply. You can simply disable charging or set bypass mode. The inverter bypasses( supplies ) you mains without charging your batteries. Win win for all No need to break the bank. Check our affordable prices and dm to order while stock last.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by earthrealm(m): 11:06am On Jan 25, 2023 |
toyeoye: quite stressful, I know about 3 easy to moderate options. 1. buy a timer switch and put it inline with the inverter, you can then set it to turn off the inverter by 9am when the sun is up and turn off grid charging by 4pm 2. If you have home wireless internet, buy a tuya wifi breaker and put it inline with the inverter, this breaker has timer functions as well as weather related commands -- such as turn off 2hrs or 3hrs after sun rise or sundown, turn off/on when raining/cloudy...etc 3. Get a battery based SOC turn off/on, this device can turn off ya charging based on your battery state of charge. this is a DIY device not off the shelf 3 Likes |

I don't understand these talks about inverter consuming grid power, you guys do not have solar panels? I've been using 1200w + 5kw lithium with 2kva inverter for over 6 months now without grid power. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bigrovar(m): 2:28pm On Jan 25, 2023 |
FEGEITOK:Nope. They are essentially using the same technology and have similar efficiency. The difference between them is pretty much negligible heck Techland sell all of Longi, Canadian Solar, JA and Jingo at the same exact price per watt. In my case, I went with the Canadian solar when I wanted to upgrade because the specification had slightly better heat tolerance but I can assure you, you can't go wrong with either. 1 Like |

NiyiOmoIyunade: I used the Axpert MKS for close to 5 years now without any issues. When I was connected to the grid, I set it to Solar Utility Battery mode which allowed me to use solar when it is available, grid when solar is not available or sufficient and battery when Both solar and grid are not available. I also disabled Charging from the grid. The result was that I only ever used the grid at night.. between the time of 7 pm - 8 am daily or when it is too cloudy for solar. This greatly reduced my Nepa bill because my estate then was on premium power and electricity although always available, came at a very steep cost. The arrangement above helped to reduce the electricity bill. Axpert (In my case Ipowerplus) does not have the fine grain feature of a Victron especially its ability to share between solar, grid, and even generator and it is no where near as robust. Yet it is a good and cheaper alternative for those who are price sensitive. Axpert is well used and tested (all over the world, especially in OECD countries like South Africa, Australia and Europe) and offers great performance for the money. Heck, you can buy 2 ipowerplus and keep one in cold storage and the price won't still be close to half the price of a Victron of similar capacity. It all depends on your pocket and how you want to have things optimized. 10 Likes |

bigrovar: Can you explain a bit more on this heat tolerance issue and why that was a deciding factor for you ? Is it that major of a differentiator when choosing between those range of panels (JA Solar, Jinko, Trina) ? |

samnaija:Some people are even getting tired of grid now with the recent tariff hike. A unit in Kano now 13.25kwh. If I can conveniently charge my battery with pv, power my basic appliances like fridge, freezer, water pump etc during the day and switch to battery at night for lightings and tv, why do I need to waste my money on nepa bill? Currently, solar is cheaper than nepa. 3 Likes |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by adrusa: 5:49pm On Jan 25, 2023 |
samnaija: This is what I do. The grid input on my inverter is off by default. I turn it on only on rare occasions when my battery SOC is low in the evening due to 2 or 3 days of poor solar harvests. I used a switch I can control remotely, so even if I'm not home and my battery is critical, I can turn it on. |
