From what I noticed in your statements here, you're working on tide budget.
If possible, let us know the tv inches/watt. Laptop watt, fan watt (is it only one?), Lighting points, how many and watt of each bulbs?
If your load is small, I will give you a good solar generator with lifepo4 battery attached to smart bms at affordable price depending on the capacity.
If we see know your loads, we would know the system capacity you should go for.
Boss i dy feel u jare.
For me.
I have a 55in tv like 10 energy saver bulbs, washing machine, inverter Fridge. Like 3 dc fans.
Have a 1.5kva 24v setup. 60amps mptt controller, 5x300wtts panel.

I want to go totally off grid. What do u advise I upgrade?
Thanks.

3.5kva inverter. This will handle your loads without stressing ur inverter or hitting close to the max power rating.
I really don't know how to advice you on a tight budget, I will suggest you take your time and upgrade slowly, maybe one item at a time.

Sud I upgarde the inverter or add more solar panels.
My mind is kind of set on upgrading the solar panels and later add 3.5kva inverter 48v.
Whats ur take?

If your current inverter powers your load conveniently, Upgrade your panels, add additional controller if d existing one is full. You need more power, at least u get more power during the day and can manage ur existing batteries at night. Upgrade your inverter and battery next.

Am thinking of adding 400wx4 to make about 2700w. Ok for a start?

Hello house, looking to get an inverter, stuck between the 24V 3KWH Growatt, 24V 3KWH tbb and the 24V 3.3KWH SRNE.

Based on personal experience, which of these three is recommended?

Don't know all these terms oo. Lol

I have lg tv 43"
I can get the spl fan. One is okay
A laptop and 2 phones
3bulbs

Don't know much about wattage.

I read here about setting tv to Eco mode
Spl fan = 17 Watt
Bulb = 5 Watt can serve? I need just 3

Something that can last up to 12hrs and durable.

Thanks

How much is it and can you drop your contact


You have about 149w total loads from what you listed above.
An average laptop consumed about 40w.
Tv 45w with eco mode.
Two phones 32w.
Three bulbs 15w.
Fan 17w.
If you can manage your loads by not putting on everything at the same time, then I can couple 100ah 12v lifepo4 battery with a smart bms and voltmeter/battery terminals, 500w 12v hybrid inverter with two pcs of 180w panels in HDF wooden box for you.
The panel capacity is small though but you can manage it till you have money to add another one.

I later did some troubleshooting about this issue and I discovered this only occur when the solar panels are connected. If i turn of the solar breaker this series issue doesn't occur, but when i turn it on back it occur again.
The inverter is an Hybrid inverter so the solar is connected to it.
I can't say the power coming from the solar is too much cos they are just 3* 300w 36v solar panels.
I've tried contacting the technician at SMS sunmate inverter, I'm yet to get a positive feedback from them. The only solution i have at hand now is to result to an external charge controller which is something I don't wanna do. But it's looking like i don't have much choice here.

Seems like a grounding issue.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by sintolord(m): 1:30pm On Feb 05
Buy a Motor Soft Starter from AliExpress. This product will help clamp down the surge from your submersible pump. I use 3kw Felicity hybrid inverter to power my 1.5kw submersible pump once in a while. It's advisable to use it on a good sunny day & your inverter will detect no surge. If you must use it at other times in the day, make sure your battery cables are 50mm2 & above. If it is 35mm2 you may see 0.5 - 0.7% surge. Also make sure your AC cables connected to your pump are genuine & adequately sized to carry the load.

If interested, I will suggest you buy SSR-40WA-R1 (1.5kw). See second picture on how to determine which size of motor soft starter to buy.




durodee:
Yes. But it will be showing a red warning light and beeping to show that it has been maxed out. So I DON'T routinely use it for that purpose. Few times I had used it to pump was in emergencies

Okay.. but the thing is, i ran a separate socket to the inverter output (not connected to the house) and it was still doing the same thing. Now I'm confused something is actually wrong with the inverter itself

Which brand is it? Is it EASun? My EASun 3000w powers my 300l Haier Thermocool deep freezer worth about 130w EFFORTLESSLY, and still have room to power more loads like TV, ceiling fans etc

But consider these options to help your inverter power more stuffs:

- put larger appliances first. For instance, put on your fridge first before putting on even lights.
- Ensure your battery is significantly charged before putting on large loads like your fridge. For a 12v system, let your battery get up to 12.7v before putting on the load
I'm interested!
