Hello Gurus. Kudos for your great work here.

My 3.5KVA Ipower inverter is displaying a code 6 error. I took it to Zinox office and was told to pay N85k for repairs which will take 4 weeks. This is the 2nd time of repairing it there. The first time it took them 9 months. A week after collecting it, one of the fans stopped working, but it still worked and I supported it with an external fan.

I don't even load the Inverter up to 10% since I bought it 2 years ago, yet it keeps having issues.

Please, what do you advise? Any alternative step I can take? N85k is too much for this unreliable device biko.

Please, go and buy 4 pcs of 160ah lifepo4 battery for 300k and save yourself all this stress.....

i use the transformer based ipower Hybrid 3kva inverter...and it serves me well..
Is that what u use? If no, u should try it. Rugged stuff..

isangjohnson:

Your case might be different from mine. With the displayed error code, is the inverter still powering the house?

kristien4:
300k for the 4pcs?... and are they coming it 12v? I thought lifepo4 was more expensive?

peterpeteru:


Not at all.
It just displays the code and keeps beeping continously.

Mine was displaying error code 06 on Felicity inverter and light was still entering the house.
I called their repair center and I was told to send it and I was about to send it to their Abuja office before I decided to try my diy luck by opening it.
I later realized one of the temperature sensor cable was bad, I change it and the error code disappeared.

Good day house.
By January, I will be moving to a facility for work related activities that I have calculated power use of about 2000w hourly with minimal day Vs night variations in usage, making a total of about 48kw/day.
At present, I have 24 pieces of 300w Canadian Mono panels, 1. 4kw Amorphous panels, 2 EPSolar 60amp CC, with one 60amp Pfanpusun and one 60amp PowerMr CC as backup, one 6kw 24v VIL Power star inverter and 10kw stab to control grid imput and three backup generators (10kva Petrol, 10kva diesel and 15kva diesel)
I plan to use a 48v system and so I will have to sideline the VIL inverter and go for a 5kw 48v Hybrid Axpert VMIIl model with DC solar imput of 500v. Another option is the Kings series with parallelling capability incase I want to put air cons on the system.
On the sideline I will be running a 12v DC lightning system to carry bulbs with 200-250w total capacity for 12 hours daily. I have 4 pieces of 3 year old Monbat 200amps Batts to be dealing with that.
My main challenge right now is storage for the main system. While I had been eyeing LiFePO4 battery system, it had become quite clear that it will have to be pushed to 2021/22 axis. New lead acids SMF will cost about 1.5mill which unfortunately is not at all feasible now.
I am now considering fairly used 12 pieces 200amp SMF Batts to tide me over for about a year. Or is there an alternative within the scope of 500k?
Thank you for your comments and imput.

Is the inverter hybrid?

earthrealm:


Just seeing ur msg.
Unfortunately, i dont know any sound installer...i would recommend to work unsupervised.
Unless you are knowledgable and just need raw labour..i can link you to a couple of installers....but if u need a highly skilled installer ..u may hav3 to bring them in from outside benin.

I recall one of the installers i gave someone for a hf hybrid.8 panels.
The installer with over 8yrs experience just did 3-3-2 connection and turned around to say the hybrid inverter isnt working

I had to go physically to direct him on what to do.
E no bother read inverter manual or spec sheet....and who even does 3-3-2?

peterpeteru:


I don't know if it is. How can I know and how do I try it?

isangjohnson:

Check the previous page and you'll see 95k for 230ah (380k for 4 pcs).
160ah will be much cheaper for you with more usable ah than 230ah lead acid battery. You could buy 20a 4s Daly bms with bluethooth depending on the instantaneous amps you intend to pull out from the battery, buy breaker and tell them to couple it for you using a cheaper local wood. No need for battery voltage meter.

bassdow:
see na this kinda comment dey do me one kind.

Some one made a comment with regards to a concern and all you could do is ask the person to go and buy a totally different battery chemistry.

Are you trying to tell us that magically 160ah lifepo4 battery is devoid of all the negative concerns the person is bothered about ?

Would really love for you to educate us, because without thinking, me could think of many already.

kristien4:
the inverter is red and black color..heavy. about 35kg

Can you take a picture of it? Since when have you been using it and with how much load?

peterpeteru:


Yes, it is. I use a separate charge controller for it though and its only source of charging the batteries is solar.
