I have 2 units of 170W mono panel with a unit of 12V 170Ah Renogy lithium ion battery.

I’m planning on getting luminous or techfine 12V inverter with solar talker Mppt controller to set up the system. I’ll like to know if these products are ideal for my setup and if not, can anyone suggest something better to make it efficient ? Thanks

Functionalsol:




Please, any suggestion on this

If at all you're buying from Selina Li, don't allow her to handle your shipping else you'll pay twice and that's if you'll be lucky to see your cells.
Most of us that paid her for the shipping are yet to get refund.

auwal8377:


But many people have reported positive comments doing business with her. What do you mean by paying twice? To whom?
I'm planning to order my cells soon from her company.
Please, expatiate.
Thanks.

You may wish to check view pages back for people's review. Her previous positive review attracted me to her but things has changed probably due to the volume of sales she's handling.

To the best of my knowledge, she doesn't pay much attention to the shipping of cells. She might not even remit the shipping fees you'll pay to the clearing agent and you might end up setling the clearing agent here in Nigeria when your cells finally arrive.

You might also be unlucky to see your cells due to mix up with other unlabeled cells caused by her careless shippers. Those that buy volume of cells at a time from her do not experience this issue.

If you must buy from her, I advise you look for your shipping agent. This will give you rest of mind.

The indicator are not exactly a pointer to watch out for for Addo, you will noticed that the indicator goes up and down with grid power, you should watch out for the the 3 stages of charging right by the battery bars you described.

if it gets to FLT or float then it is full

Olarewajub:


Thanks for the response.

Apparently, my installer put me in deep shit.

My set up is off grid.

Guys abeg, I need your help and clear advise - preferably from those in the know.

I urgently need to set up 10Kva solar system and I need your advice abeg.

My needs are simple: power 2 inverter AC at least for 24 hours. Lights and TV, occasional water pump use.

I have narrowed things down to using LiFePo4 batteries due to have a longer use life, but picking a reputable brand seem to be a minefield. I'm leaning towards Felicity but I am not even sure anymore due to all I have read about them etc. Please advice.

Hello, guys. Whenever i want to switch off my inverter entirely from use and electricity charging, do i put off both switch in the picture (blue and black button).

I'm asking this because i noticed that my power units don't last anymore since i got this inverter (5KVA, with 4 batteries). My area now has constant electricity so i hardly ever need to use the inverter.

What kind of enclosure did you guys also get?
Do they have the wall hung ones, like the one Fidelity uses?

I don't know what keyword to use to search for that type of battery enclosure, I am not getting the required results. The one one seller showed me of iron.

Justice629:


I didn’t get enclosures, I stacked mine in a battery rack.
If the attached pix is what you are looking for, it's also called power wall

Does anyone have an experience with this inverter... It's a Gennex

durodee:

I have used Gennex products for about 8years now. While I had only fair respect for their 3.4kva I bought then ( have had to send it in for repairs three times) , the 5kva I bought in 2021 have really been capable of getting the job done. Able to handle the loads well and easy to use and understand. No regrets in that area.

ojesymsym:

On boy, they are empty o and already costing over $600 just for case only.E b like say I go pass.

litaninja:
- Do you have solar panels in your setup?
- what type of inverter do you have, what is the idle consumption and can you configure charge source priority on it?
- what settings do you have configured for the
- what type of batteries?

My take is that while you may not need to actively use the inverter now because you have better power supply, the inverter still needs power to keep the batteries topped off which may be responsible for your consumption & may lead to your batteries getting damaged if you shut off power supply to it.

Also, many inverters are configured to cycle the batteries partially depending on the output source priority, leading to consumption when they need to be charged.

More details of your setup will help forum members provide a suitable solution.

geloorrrrdd:

Thanks for the detailed response, Litaninja.
In regards to your questions,

Yes, I have solar panels. 10 Solars panel of 300 watts.
I use the Felicity solar inverter as attached in the picture and i believe charge source priority can be configured.
I'm not sure of the kind of settings used(I'm quite a newbie to these stuffs)
I use Four 220ah 12 volt tabular batteries.

And yes, i don't mind charging my batteries with power occasionally. My issue is how to completely disconnect the batteries from draining my units. I want to be in full control of the usage.
