Buchika: I noticed you are on a tight budget so you need to manage what you have to survive. You can easily be advice here to go 24v if you haven't purchased the above. But if the above had been purchased, probably my set up could give a fair hint. 3000w 12v satchet inverter 2s 300w africell pv Powmr 60a ( max 700w, 80v) Pv is almost flat on a fence airflow is great. 78ft (26yard Ethernet cable in place of regular cables ![]() Battery: 105ah LifePO4 Load mostly in the afternoon: 115w freezer( most important), 50w tv, 10w decoder, 35w fan, etc. Freezer from 9am to 3 or 4pm. On cc I do get max of 31a at 478w when sun is blazing. As freezer goes off by 3pm, battery jumps to 14.1v b4 6pm. Night: Tv, 1 fan and lightings till say 10pm. 2 fans from 9 or 10pm till morning at a fair speed. Battery drpped mostly around 13.0 or 13.1v in the morning. At times tv goes off as sacrifice for freezer in the afternoon when sunlight is just fair. TRY CHARGE YOUR BATTERY FULLY FIRST AND CAREFULLY DISCHARGE AFTERWARDS. IF You discharge with sense, this 12v of yours will work. But in the long run upgrade to 24v to enable you utilize max your 1400w. But the economy could hinder an upgrade.

Drgreatone:Nope, I now use a 60a Must cc, panels are connected in series |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Drgreatone: 11:06pm On Apr 21 |
isangjohnson:Whats the model of the hybrids. The inverter i use is connected to 3 300w panels and a 12v220ah tubular battery which rarely gets full unless there's NEPA. Have the same system at 2 other sites and its the same outcome. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Drgreatone: 11:07pm On Apr 21 |
Penuelseun:Oh ok. Any reason u chabged to must? Does it have a higher VOC for 12v than the powmr |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Drgreatone: 11:11pm On Apr 21 |
walexsos:Pls post the VOC of ur charge controller and also of the panels used before u can be adviced correctly on ur panel combination pattern |

Ferdiwar: How does Deye compare to Growatt, pound-for-pound? I am getting ready to purchase and have eyes on the SPF 5000 ES Hybrid 5kW 48V mated to some Pylontech juice |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by swagifted(m): 12:38am On Apr 22 |
Hybrid600:black market prices na around 650k or less for registered ones... The unregistered ones some vendor de call one million plus. But starlink officially don de advertise for 440k...i never try order. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by jonescosmos(m): 12:41am On Apr 22 |
QuoteJust1nce: Growatt is a Voltronic Based Inverter but built with quality in mind. Deye is a Proprietary Owned Inverter built with quality, longevity, strength, adaptation. They have been in existence for a while. America tried to clamp them down by taking a franchise contract under SunSynk, EG4, SolArk, etc. But they eventually got liberated and started shipping out with their own Brand Name: DEYE. If you have the funds, grab the Deye 5KW, no regrets. 1 Like |

alosbaba007: There is this gennex inverter that I worked on that couldn't supply output until you supply input and turn it off before it supplies output. Mind you if you put on PV it will be own but no output, put off the PV input and on the inverter while connected to battery, it will come on and go off after some time.... The wahala is too much.... The saving grace is most of the inverters where bought by the client so I just seat down and look dey laff ![]() ![]() ![]() 2 Likes |

Drgreatone:I used HSI and Zumax. If the panels are well oriented and the correct size wire was used, then the charging system of the hybrid inverter is the issue. I had an issue with of one of the hybrid inverters I installed for a customer and suspected it was related to float bulk.. I was unable to get an acceptable margin of float bulk that could comfortably charge the Lfp battery to full. When I set it to the range of 13.8v to 14v, about 9a or thereabouts was coming in from the pv but when I pushed the setting further to about 14.8v, I was seeing 25a and above. I couldn't charge the Lfp battery with 14.8v and I later introduced my spare 60a epever Mppt external CC into it and everything was in order. |

I installed the old model PowMr CC yesterday for a boss, and with lithium battery. On setting it up, I noticed the menu now has a D05. I used to know the menu stops at D04 So I'm curious, if anyone has noticed it and what is it's function. The manual is silent about it even. CC @ linnov8 |

adrusa:If one has an inverter with dry ports that get signals based on the SOC, it's just a matter of relays and contactors + timers and one can replicate that. Which is why I love the latest jk bms features. 2 Likes |

Drgreatone:My old powmr has a bug that sometimes changes the controller to pwm mode when the battery gets full and load is applied, I will have to switch the solar input off and on a few times before it returns to mppt mode, note that this only happens on 12v batteries, never happens on 24v systems 1 Like |

Juror: I would always recommend not combining AC and DC Circuitry, ESD is real and not a friend of most Inverters. Same way I preached against combining AC Grounding and DC Grounding using the same Earth Rod (Bury 2 Rods in the same spot but don't let them touch each other). Some people who did combine their earthing had their Inverters exposed to hazards and consequently damaging them. The use of the ATS in the box is not recommended also because anything that trips your Inverter output requires an attention. Go and verify that everything is OK and so you can switch things manually. Most Inverters are short circuit protected, so if you have a short circuit or some sort garget that is trying to blow, it will raise the amperage on the power source, most inverters will trip to prevent that from happening. And when it trips, your ATS then switches your supply over to Grid automatically abi?, Well, Nigerian NEPA current does not pity anything wey wan blow. Don't ask me the function of the breakers, most breakers you have in Nigerian Markets today are fakes and locally printed, so they might not protect your equipment in some hazardous events. People now have printing machines that can print on those breakers, Now that solar is trending, watch them cleaning Ac breakers and printing them as DC breakers. Always buy proprietary protection devices, they costs more but they work. Avoid using ATS on your Inverter Outputs, use MTS if you must, or do it on the Inverter Input considering alternative source of power. I come in peace. 7 Likes |
