BlueStripper: Good thing you are calmer now.. ![]() First thing I want to point out is your PV configuration. So I assume you connected two 180w in series then this in parallel with a 560w panel. The difference in watts between the 560w and 360w panels is too much and the 360w ones will get damaged if your battery is full and no load to push power to. About your battery, 1. Maybe the battery is an old stock and is already failing 2. Powmr old model controller, doesn't track battery voltage very well @12v configuration. Use a standalone voltmeters to confirm what voltage the battery actually gets to at absorb and float. Another thing is tubular batteries need to be equalized once in a while, so maybe you can manually do that by charging to around 15v. You may need to check Google to know how to manually do it, or experienced people here can chime in. I don't have much experience with tubular batteries. Cheers |

So, this is your BMS cutting out supply. Usually, you will need to turn on the BMS to reestablish connection between your batteries and charge controller/ inverter. Do you have an app for connecting with the BMS? futurenix: |

BlueStripper: Wonderful. You connected Solar Panels of different capacities. That's your first woe. I know some people advice you should EVEN though people wey get sense pass us says otherWise. How often do you top-Up the battery electrolyte OR if you ever did at all ? Are you sure the battery was original ? That brand is a known quality brand BUT that doesn't mean there ain't FAKEs. see eh, without much idea what actually went wrong, something is clear - your solar panel is too small. Mixing solar panels of different wattage means the least becomes the overal wattage e.g 2pcs 300W and 6pcs 150Watts either series or parallel would bring the 300W solar panel down to level of the 150W panels. Add to the fact you would be using the setUp for other things while it's struggling to recharge the batteries, then you would understand what went wrong. Let's presume your charge controller is PWM or MPPT that doesn't know it's work, then you see you dug your grave yourself. Now there are charge controllers that lies a lot. Dem plenty for market. Dem lie pass Federal Government hence reason it pays to have multi-Meter, and DC meter (though pricey) handy for when you have doubts. Also, no one knows thickness of your cables, and distance from the solar panels to charge controller. e get reason PHCN / NEPA dey transmit light at Higher voltage than current. we never wan reason say the solar panels sef fit get dey over rated gan sef. No need because we get enough reasons above already. 2 Likes |

bassdow: Bassdow! This this finishing o. The batteries are brand new and I haven't changed electrolyte or topped up with distilled water. I also have another set of 560 watts panel. I will remove the 180 watts and connect two PCs of 560 watts. Whatever be the outcome, I will let you know. Thank you so much |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by BlueStripper: 10:43am On Feb 22 |
Update Guys, I have added the second 560 watts panel in series to the CC and removed the 180 watts Africell panels. So it's now 2pcs of 560amps half cut solar panels. Please see my yield as at 10:35am. I also attached an external battery meter (kindly ignore other readings on the screen). The battery meter and my voltmeter gives me 12.9 when Powmr CC shows 13.3 N/B my freezer is currently connected to the setup and running.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Trippledots(m): 10:55am On Feb 22 |
BlueStripper: You are maxing out the current capacity of that CC, at that rate the CC heats up and overheat protection will be activated and the CC will enter protection mode, stop charging for that while till the CC temp drops to around 45°C before it picks again. At the end of the day, you battery will end up not charging well. You are better of switching to a 24v system or adding a cooling fan to help keep it cool. Talking from experience. I am currently planning to upgrade to a 48v system, so as to keep things running cooler and also extract more power from my PV and controller. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by BlueStripper: 11:01am On Feb 22 |
Trippledots: Thank you so much Sir. Since last week I made up my mind to upgrade to a 24v system. If anyone has a 24v system for sale, 2.5 to 3.5kva, please let me know. I beg, the inverter must have low power consumption. I don't want to add more troubles to my trouble. Insha Allah, I am buying a bigger lithium pack from Valto. Since I tasted Lithium, I have had peace of mind. I don't know which devil pushed me to buy this Tubular Batteries. I regret it Walahi. 3 Likes |

mctfopt:first, your pictures says nothing about if it's for an ISP, or a financial institution. Secondly, even if they do, which I know, the numbers are so small it's as good as none. Thridly, have repeatedly made it clear I believe lithium technology is more performant BUT because it's very difficult getting genuine cells, it's more adviceAble sticking to Acid batteries. There's a reason I don't use LG products despite they having various showRooms all over the place. Probably same reason Foreign Used (Tokunbo) appliances cost as much as brand new ones in Nigeria 1 Like |
