This is the only fuse in the unit and they are intact, the unit turns on and trips off immediately Drgreatone:

Did you try to test those two fuses for continuity? noel76: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 10:44am On Jun 17 |
You need a multimeter to do an actual test of continuity on the fuse and confirm if they are still active. noel76: |

Morning my ogas(s) at the top. Please i need clarification. 1. Is there any simple way one can read daily energy yield/ generation ( KWH) from Felicity charge controllers ? Either from the device itself or with the use of other affordable and simple to use accessories. 2. Are there other good mppt charge controllers within the price range of felicity that can show the data? @adrusa, @xtremeidea, @zeestone99,@ jonescosmos @DaniellaDokubo @others please. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by jonescosmos(m): 11:21am On Jun 17 |
Your question has been forwarded to Felicity BMS and Wi-Fi department. Waiting for response..... compunigeria: 1 Like

compunigeria: KWhr is calculated from KW using the formular KW x T where T is time. The process can be done automatically using simple scripts. I use Home Assistant (HA) which takes KW and converts it to KWHr on an ongoing basis. So, to answer your question: Felicity CC don't calculate the KWhr but there are many ways to get KWHr on an ongoing basis. 1 Like |

noel76:Don't stress yourself it's a board issue. If the fuse where bad, it won't even come up. Where are you located? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Ferdiwar: 1:13pm On Jun 17 |
On average over 20kwh on a sunny day and about 15kwh on a cloudy/rainy day. swagifted: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by compunigeria: 1:38pm On Jun 17 |
Thanks for the reply, i am actually looking for something i can use to be able to monitor the performance of my setup as an ordinary user. Is the " home assistant" a device i can buy and plug into the Felicity charge controller? In your previous posts, i learnt about the RJ45- serial cable and then installing an app on the system. However, it seems the cable needs some technical adjustments that i was not able to understand. adrusa: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Ferdiwar: 1:40pm On Jun 17 |
No but I just discovered that it threw this error code instead F14 DC_OverCurr_Fault. jonescosmos: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by osayuwamwen(m): 3:26pm On Jun 17 |
The repairer later told me they are go to change the board he said the board is 90k while he's own service fee is 40k, I just vex go oreder a new inverter from AliExpress for abt 109k or so picture below is the new inverter I ordered 3600wat but it actual power is 1600watt osayuwamwen: 1 Like

jonescosmos: Please What's the current price of these batteries in Nigeria? Also please share the secrets on the batteries in Alaba. You can give a hint ![]() |

dollarnaira:How does overload affect the inverter? I thought it will just trip off when overloaded? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by dollarnaira: 5:04pm On Jun 17 |
osayuwamwen: All good. Well I have never turned off my inveter even when it rains with lightning. It is too boring and dark without power during rain. |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mank1234(m): 5:30pm On Jun 17 |
Ferdiwar: It's the same error. The number may be different in different model. And the cause is what I told you before. 1) Your panel is exceeding 17A Isc during favourable condition and your controller is thus unable to clip the Imp to 13A. Or 2) Total wattage at that point is in excess of 6500W and the unit is unable to handle the excess. Or 3) Your discharge/charge current limit is too low relative to load and panel size. |

dollarnaira: What will I do my inverter spoiled during the rain every time thunder strike my own trip off And will not come on again |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Ferdiwar: 6:44pm On Jun 17 |
5x 570w Longi panels and 5x 625w Jinko panels. swagifted: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Ferdiwar: 6:52pm On Jun 17 |
Kindly explain more of the No 3 please. As for No 2, the total installed panels are not up to 6,000w. The installer will be coming over the weekend to carryout a check to determine if there's a short circuit to frame or anything like that. mank1234: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by icjunior(m): 8:09pm On Jun 17 |
Please guys,my friend bought 2*220ah tubular batteries from someone but he's complaining that the batteries are weak already. So will changing the electrolytes of the batteries resuscitate them? Or would it be a fruitless exercise? And if it's adviceable,can I also get where to do it in Lagos, thanks. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Charitun: 8:49pm On Jun 17 |
Good evening have dropped many DM on your mail no response. I need the 12v inverter adewasco2k: |

easyyoke: Have you gotten the help you need? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Compliant(m): 8:59pm On Jun 17 |
icjunior: When you say " buy it from someone" i want to assume its second hand When did he buy it? Does your friend have maintenance culture? Are you sure the person did not know of the issue before selling? Changing the electrolytes to resuscitate it , is 50-50 thing and since its cheaper to charge than buying new battery, i would suggest he try it first. Just locate one good battery charger and give him go ahead 1 Like |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by osayuwamwen(m): 9:10pm On Jun 17 |
Take it to repairer if u are lucky they can repair it or they change the board which is like getting a new inverter, it is the same thunder that destroyed my inverter even my controller but was able to fix my controller but the inverter required change of board emyfine08: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by dollarnaira: 9:11pm On Jun 17 |
emyfine08: Fried board. Replace... |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Compliant(m): 9:16pm On Jun 17 |
osayuwamwen: Same way my 3.5kva inverter got destroyed by lightning and repairer was quoting almost 200,000 for new board and workmanship, i just kept it aside I finally bought a 5kva 24v felicity |

bigrovar:Oga at the top! Good to see your comments. I travelled and just got back to do the checks. In the meanwhile the freezer was switched off , allowing the goods inside to thaw. My findings: 1) Socket test with voltmeter: My supply voltage from inverter was 210v. L-N test-210v, L-E test -210v and N-E test- 00v 2) Proper freezer examination: I saw a cut wire (light brown colour) that likely supplied the thermostat side. There was a STRONG possibility that it was touching the chassis of the freezer BEFORE I pulled on the wires as I was checking Result: 1)When I switched on the freezer, there were no more shocks. Freezer chassis to earth reading was 0.18v on the voltmeter BUT the tester bulb showed a dim glow. 2) Power consumption from the freezer went back to normal 3) No glow or shocked from the shower or other taps/electrical appliances in that section of the house. My conclusion for now: Naked wire to chassis. Will be on the lookout for further issues. Due to my schedule, it may be up to a month before I freezer tech can have a look for me. Thanks for the pointers given 2 Likes |

olopan:It seems your number one comment was the issue. It was a naked wire that was likely touching the chassis. Since then, everything has returned to normal with no more shocks anywhere 1 Like |
