bassdow: General Knowledge Comments One cheaper way of not spending much on wires, is increasing Voltage, and reducing current. A 12-volts 10A system would require much thicker wires, than when you change it to 24-volts 4A or even 48-volts 4A. Just be sure you know what you doing. Another CHEAP way of reducing cost of cable is using that Wire / cable used by NEPA / PHCN that draws light from electric pole, to your house. It's made of Aluminum, and costs way too cheap and you could easily buy it in most electrical shops. Except you've got the money, forget Copper wires. Aluminum go serve you Well also with no issue. |

peterpeteru: It depends not all of them. We have some of our inverters (3.5kva and 5kva) that consumes 28w to 30w for idle consumption which is good. You can dm for proof. If u find anyone around 40w too, u r good to go. 1 Like 1 Share |

jonescosmos:I've tried this before coming here with the matter boss, it's not working. The connection flashes for 10 seconds and nothing. The instruction is in both the inverter and CC manual and they didn'tsay what to do if not successful. |

Good pm house. Does the unmatched line mean the panel is defective? It seems to read fine on the multimeter. It's sunshine solar 180w panel

Hello famz, GD ... I was sent these photos of my CC from home. Blue blank screen. There were records of multiple lightening cos it rained. ... Are my fears confirmed? If yes, is there a remedy? (Other than full replacement)

Thanks. I plan to do both tho but one needs to come first due to limited funds at the moment. Dam5reey: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by princely009: 6:23pm On Oct 13, 2023 |
Thanks for the response. I guess i will do both. But one after the other. As for my pumping machine, the depth of my borehole is 370FT. So a 2HP pumping machine was recommended. bassdow: |

Omo, professors don plenty pass student for this forum o. ![]() I have used and installed and worked with "sachet" inverters and "transformer ", I still prefer the sachet ones oh -- atleast for my needs; which include a 1.5hp inverter ac. I had a sachet inverter that took in water like a fish, dude kept working. I didn't appreciate the hell it went through till the day I was around and there was a storm and I saw how wind blew torrents of rain unto the inverter...I come de feel like one kain heartless installer ![]() The only part I miss from transformer types is the ATS, but again I'm probably 95% offgrid, so? I have currently upgraded to a 5kw sachet but with better protection from the elements, and it's been working 24/7. Even, if e die e no to cost to replace, compared to the transformer type of same capacity. PS: I don work with some premium brands too, so I have a little experience of both premium and not so premium and basic. 2 Likes |

tonididdy: Nice. I wasn't so sure if I liked this product when I used it for a 12v installation; its voltage tracking was just a headache. But I noticed it is more accurate on a 24v system and works wonders. 5 years no be beans, enjoy bro. I'll advice you stock up a spare. That's what I usually do. 1 Like 1 Share |

Trippledots: Not saying they ain't Strong enough, just that when e [Finally] dies, REPAIRs is difficult, if not almost impossible. Also, often times, they ain't as Rugged as Transformer Based Inverters. I prefer them for anything <= 2KVa. NowAdays, I break down my energy supplies into modules. That way, Rather than a single 5KVA inverter, I have a series of inverters of varying capacity. Everything less than 1KVA is taken care of by dedicated solution and trust me, a lot of appliances requires way way less than 1KVA and my 32 and 55 inch TVs are among them. In fact, My laptops and CPUs and FANs, and Desktop monitors and Lights, etc all draws lighht directly from 12-volts supply without any BOOSTing of any kind. Just ensured the 12-volts contains no noise. Also, a lot of us in here dey talk with neither personal experience, nor background. More like those Tianshi, GNLD, FLP, etc marketers turned doctors wey fit swear on top their wares even when dem never see am in action before. Also, I'm tempted to ask how the inverter could survive under regular rains entering it ? Abi make I no ask ? or mayBe na water-Resistant ? 1 Like |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Trippledots(m): 1:43pm On Oct 14, 2023 |
bassdow: Hahaha....it is ok to ask. I myself don't know how it survived, frankly. I would come back from work and see dust mapped with water. So I assumed it was just splashes of rain, until the day I was at home and saw the whole thing. On a second though, maybe some fragile components have a coating to protect them from water splash but not being submerged. I dont know sha....the inverter still works. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 2:04pm On Oct 14, 2023 |
Trippledots: if I were you, I wouldn't rest till I have had an understanding of HOW. it doesn't hurt to peep you know. Would have said it's AirTight, but we know say being TRANSFORMERless, meant it contains lots of MOSFETs and Transistsors, etc and those would have HeatSinks. Even if na Transformer based sef, it still can't be airTight. If na splashes, that's not much an issue BUT submerged, hmm I... |

What's a good 10kv inverter model? I want to do an installation with at least a 15-20kw LifePo4 pack and panels but I'm not sure what inverter is good at that range. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by gadgetplanetng: 2:29pm On Oct 14, 2023 |
So far so good this was for me. I bought this since the other vendors I was chatting with either stopped replying to messages or didn't have this size (I've been chatting with the seller since 2021 without buying anything and always got responses to enquiries) Paid on Friday, Had it in PH Wednesday. After mounting, I noticed the charge controller (powmr 60a) at the location was running above 30v even if I set it below 28v so I turned off solar charging till I'm able to stay there and observe. Even at that, without extra charging, it powers the freezer, fridge, TV and gotv at the location from morning to evening, then TV and gotv from 5pm till 10 with l power left when it's switched off then. Would update as time goes on. ameh99: 1 Like |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by IYGEAL(m): 8:00pm On Oct 14, 2023 |
princely009: The depth of my well is within the same range as yours. I use 1.5HP. You might consider that as well if you don't use it for commercial purposes. I had a similar problem with the old pump of same 1.5HP capacity. My cable is 2.5mm. It is not ideal but marginally better than yours, but the old pump was consuming about 2.3KWatts. I use a 5kw inverter too. When the pump died, the new one (Astral) is significantly more energy efficient. It consumes about 1.6KW or so. Also, the power draw is stable. When the old pump (I don't remember the brand) was in use, its power draw fluctuated (as seen on the inverter and BMS) a lot, ranging from 2000 to 2300 Watts. So I guess the excess power draw may come from your pump as well. That said, you also need to increase your cable size. 1 Like |
