Hello. I have a 24v 100ah lifepo4 battery.
Constant load - 240w which is just a fridge and a fan.
I want to get an inverter to match it. I'm also planning on getting panels later on.
Please note that we get up to 8hrs of grid light daily.
Is it advisable to get an hybrid inverter ?
Considering that I'm staying in a rented apartment(limited space), will 2 500/550w panels in series be enough?


Budget is 500k.

Hybrids are here to stay and have stood the test of time already. why are people still contemplating?
Hybrid gives you an Inverter, Charger, and MPPT, cheaper than any standalone.

example with 250K. you can have
a 3kva inverter with 60A charger,
80A MPPT, go and price stand-alone equivalent.

Hybrid allows you to customize slightly when grid charge, how much grid charge, when Solarcharge, Only Solar charge during the day and Grid charge in the night, etc. with standalone, you need to have good know-how and other tools to achieve these.

2 440w - 260k
1 powmr mppt - 103k
3000w easure sachet inverter - 92k
Cables n odas - 70k
Transport - 10-20k
This is most likely Ur cheapest route

so he won't use grid or charge with the grid?
he will have to use ATS or changeover just like generator

Alright. Thanks.
But can 2 500w panels start those inverters? If it can, will it charge at all?

What about cloudy days... Incase I want to use the grid to charge. And can those panels charge the batteries fully? Let assume I just use to 50 dod.

obitobe:


please use your old charge controller and leave out the in-bult charge controller

Leave it? Why?

Danibestguy:

Alright. Thanks.

There are low Voltage MPPT and there are High Voltage MPPT.
you select based on your needs.

there is 100V MPPT, 2 panels works
150V MPPT, 2 panel works
30-400v MPPT, 2 panels works
60 - 450v MPPT, 2 panels works
90v - 450v MPPT 4 panels or more
120-450v MPPT 6 panels or more.

options plenty.

Do you know any hybrid inverter with those ranges that can easily work with 2 panels? What I've been seeing is nominal voltage of 120v and above.

Makes sense.

to be honest , if nigeria had net metering and the grid was highly reliable and also the agreement is 1kwh for 1kwh (i supply the grid 1kwh with my solar in the afternoon and the grid gives me back the 1kwh in the night), i will not take a hybrid over an ON grid inverter, the grid is essentially my battery so why spend so much on batteries?....as much as i love hybrids(because nepa too de take light), they don't last as long as on grids only.

There are. Plenty.

For example, Powmr's datasheet for their 2kva and 3.2kva models.

So, no need for me to have the nominal voltage of 240dc? Na the nominal dey gimme headache.
See this data sheet as well. According to this data sheet, I can even use the inverter with just a panel right?

I have shown you a picture where charging is well with 113V and even less.
and 1.64KW panel deliver 1.47KW at that 111V..
so your 240V nominal headache I don't understand

Well, you wouldn't be getting the most out of your MPPT.

For example, I have a 3*580w PV setup connected in series and I'm only getting 320w on a cloudy day like this.

Your system will work, but try and add another panel at the very least. If you don't do it now, you'll still need to later on. And it'll be more expensive for you then.

Chikach:

I do not. You can order on AliExpress, though, or see if you can find a seller locally.

Inverter Use Note:

The Battery Capacity OF The Correct Matching System Is Determined According To The Specific Usage Requirements OF The Load And Application Scenarios, Otherwise It will Easily Lead To Insufficient Battery Capacity Or Excessive Waste OF Power Generation.
Product features: This product can work without batteries, when you don't use the battery, the starting voltage of the solar panel is 150voc, when you connect the 48V battery, the starting voltage of the solar panel is 60voc, which means the solar system can be installed with less budget.

The only limitation now is space. Even for the two, it will be tight.

Thanks for the offer. Is this hybrid? Besides, I'm located in Lagos.

Dam5reey:

Thank you boss. Your answers have been very helpful.

Your analysis is wrong.

Hybrid inverters has nothing to do with Nepa not being constant.

Even if you're using a standalone inverter you'll still need a CC to be able to feed to the grid.

Your phobia for this SMS too much.

I strongly believe SMS Sunmate Inverter will outperform Feli under same condition.

The thing tired me.

Those saying Standalone, if inverter spoil wetin CC Alone go do without engine to convert from battery to load?

Get hybrid and another small kw hybrid as backup when the other dey on repairs finished nothing more.

Inverter and built in battery charger.

You will have to buy external CC

No problem with location.

You will get it few hours after it is sent

Danibestguy:


The only limitation now is space. Even for the two, it will be tight.

See if you can get a single 625w Jinko panel, then.

Take measurements of the space you have. Compare.
Alternative is smaller 250W panels. They actually don't take a lot of space, so you can fit in a fair number of them.

He is talking about grid tie inverters, You don't need a CC to feed into the grid, most are even connected to a panel then the house power system. The house loads are powered and excess is feed into the grid which is recorded by the meter. At sundown, the meter reverses feeding back into the house. E.g. if you generate 5kw during the day and use only 1.5kw, 3.5kw is feed to the public utility(electricty company is owning you), at night, you can use the 3.5kw from the utility, and any extra is what you pay for.

The meters in Nigeria, if you feed to public line, your meter will still deduct the units. So which ever way the KW flows, you are charged for it
