Good day bosses in the house... Abeg make una help me with solutions to the below problem .. Did 4.2kw 24v installation with two 220ah tubular batteries abt 2mths ago. Now the customer sent me a message this morning that for abt one week now the batteries goes off around 2-3am with just DC bulb load (10pices of 5W each). Load use on the battery.. 1HP pumping machine.. Once in abt 3 and days,running hrs like 1hr max during the day. Inverter fridge and freezer from 8am to 6pm now reduced to 3pm And the DC bulb for night useage.. Kindly note that the batteries get alot of charge before the sun goes of.. It always in the float state before it comes down to the normal 50% battery level and still sound for low battery warning even without much load around 3am max.. What can i do to rewake or b boost the batteries pls..? Thanks all. |

Ooreofegrace:What type of inverter are u using and the nos/type of panels u used? Suspecting sms though. How are u sure they are not putting extra loads and not mentioning it. Its either that or the batteries aren't charging well sha 2 Likes |

Anyone used this controller before? The mppt has solid history so hoping this wont disappoint. Like the LiPO4 ability.

Ooreofegrace: U DIDNT MENTION ANYTHING about solar panels?. max load you shud put on the system without damaging it is 20amps x 24volts wch is about 500watts....that pumping machine, have you checked the actual draw?..same for the freezer. what of battery charge voltage algorithm...what voltages did u set the inverter to?..abi you just left it on default? check the SG of the battery electrolyte with a hydrometer and be sure its good |

jonescosmos: Besides, the bigger danger is the earth is not energized which should never be the case especially when you consider lots of appliances and metal frame are suppose to be connected to earth. This is why RCD is very important for a TT system. It is meant to spot a differential between live and neutral then trip to ensure safety. |

Hybrid Inverter.... Wilion 4.2kw Jinko panel.. 580w x3.. Brand new..all in series input volt btw 130v and 150v It's always on flot 27. v during suning hrs even with pumping machine on it.. No additional load.. Their tv is 35w..32" led TV which they use only during the weekend in the afternoon.. Drgreatone: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Ooreofegrace: 10:51am On Jun 26, 2024 |
Panels are 568w x3 The only heavy load put on the system is the pump.. Which is abt 750 or so watt.. The fridge and freezer is inverter which sometimes stayed btw 114 and 60w.. Tv is below 30w also decoder.. Then bulbs.. Abt the charging parameters, it was left on default. Will hv to get battery charger to check the level.. earthrealm: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by earthrealm(m): 11:04am On Jun 26, 2024 |
Ooreofegrace: ok panels check out, WELION inverter, you need to put it on flooded battery setting, not default or choose user and set bulk to 14.7v and float to 13.8v........and activate equalization immediately and set monthly equalization too for 4hrs at 31v. am assuming the batterys are brand new, so electrolyte SG is correct, just that its not being charged and mixing well cos of the low/wrong voltage. higher/correct charge voltage and the periodic equalization shud sort you out real quick.. your leaving the inverter on default is the likely cause of this issue, and most average installers are guilty of this as well. also the pump load is a bit high, but if you run it only during the day, with solar panels kicking in juice, you shud be fine 3 Likes |

Trippledots: The grid connection was an oversight. I intended to disconnect. This isn't my first time traveling and leaving the stuff connected. I don't know if it makes a difference but my house is next to an AEDc transformer. And I know they do proper earthing for those things. One of the transformer earth rods in my compound.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Namzy(m): 4:36pm On Jun 26, 2024 |
Ooreofegrace: A battery can be 70% charged and charge controller will enter float especially those charge controllers that don't have automatic absorption time. So you can deplete your battery and the next day your default 2 hours absorption time won't even take the battery pass 70% before the charge controller enters float because the 2 hours of absorption has reached you should get a battery monitor with lead acid battery. Another crude method is when the charge controller is in float, switch off the inverter and check how many watts the charge controller uses to maintain the float voltage if it's above say 200w or more then you have a long way to go 2 Likes |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Dam5reey(m): 5:00pm On Jun 26, 2024 |
Namzy: this is what most don't take note of, you cant really know the SOC on the lead Acid unless there is a capacity meter that most don't use. people will assume they only pump during the day without noting that battery maybe on float and it will take some time for controller to go back to bulk harming the batteries without knowing. Because of poor charging algorithm, efficiency tubular and lead acid is just a no no for me. especially in 2024 where price of LFP has fallen. 1 Like |

gadgetplanetng: what is the PV input Voltage, snap the side of the inverter where the specifications are. show the PV voltage page on the inverter as well. what is your panel configuration, total voc. It may mean the starting voltage has not reached yet. this is what I experienced at some point. the starting voltage is 150V. I watched the PV input voltage reach 149, but it didn't start. 1 Like |

Ooreofegrace:The person you did the installation for may be having serious issue with load management. You're not there with them and I'm very sure their consumption is more than what they reported to you. What is the idle power consumption of the 4.2kva 24v inverter? The max inverter capacity I give for 24v system is 3.2kw. In summary, add the inverter idle power consumption, add the hidden loads, reduce the 50% usable dod battery capacity to 75%, and you will know what to tell them. I may not know the name of your tubular batteries and I may not know the purchase source as well but you should know that about 80% of these product's capacity are overrated. My first installed system has 4 pcs of 230ah Genus tubular batteries with 5.5kwh usable dod capacity but I reduced the usable capacity to 4.1kwh (75%) and I've never discharged them below 60%. This is what made the batteries to last till I sold them and the person who bought them are still using them today without any issue. Advise them to buy a good battery meter reading like Victron BMV. The 1Hp pump maybe consuming 1kw depending on the distance of the installed machine and the cable size and parts of the consumption may as well pick up from the battery without their knowledge. 1 Like |
