Anything from 150v is okay?
Also do you know the max pv voltage of a powmr 60a cc?

Mjolnir:


RETURN IT, that 100v limit is a spoiler, it will limit ur panel config and options

kristien4:
whats the Voc of each panel?

49.9V

In reality I get up to 413V on no load.

PotatoSalad:

Nicee. Were you able to hit the 4950w?

Nah, batteries still full. May check that when I'm finally able to get the batteries depleted.

Trippledots:


Mine has same issue as. Initially my batteries were balanced but after some months I noticed significant drift. Mixed up the batteries but same thing.

I fear I may have broken the equalizer during reconnection or I need to reset the equalizer.

Either way, my schedule hasn't allowed me to work on the bank again.

What type of balancer do you have?

gadgetplanetng:
Na wa o!
Like the breaker was switched off?

You mean PV breaker? No, that was still on. But the inverter was switched off.

JoeSef0:
Hi guys
Has anyone used this CC before
is it any good?

I told my guy to get a 60a Powmr charge controller
He said he will look for it in his city only for him to come back with this one
And the max pv voltage is 100v

This is pwm. If you are in Lagos, you can get from sellers here and send to him via transport buses.

Please I need guidiance and advise from gurus here. I got this Solarmax 8MT2 Inverter from a friend abroad, although I am not a very technical person but I noticed that the specification of the voltage reads 400v or so. Please can this inverter be used in. Nigeria?? What is the implication of the 400v instead of the normal 220v. The picture of the inverter and specification is attached.

Hmmm...3x400v? Looks like a three phase inverter.

That 900v max Voc is 😍

earthrealm:


LOLZ...so cell stations running in remote locations 247 with inverters and automatic kick over gens......is wrong?
adequate protection is key, i hv been out of town for weeks and left my freezer and inverter with solar and grid powered on..zero issues

Ok boss. ✌️

1.280m Installation.
12v 2kva/1.6kva hybrid inverter with 80a Mppt, 450v max Voc and Mppt voltage range of 50-430Vdc.

Hey guys, hope the holiday is going well.

I posted here a few months back for info and advice on budget, I appreciate your replies.

However, I need your advice as I have upgraded my solar battery and panel but it's not doing what I want in terms of power supply.

I upgraded it this Monday to a second hand mercury 220 ah battery(one year used), 400W panel and 30A charge controller(which I find useless cos I don't understand how to really read it).

My major use of the power is for my laptop (90W) cos I work from home and I need to be able to cahrge it at least twice a day. No fridge or TV, just the laptop, DC fan, phone, and bulbs.

During the day it charges laptop fast and carries the fan without issues.

The problem is that the battery doesn't last after sun goes down. Charging phone doesn't seem to do anything to the battery, it's when I plug the fan or laptop after sun down, it will immediately start blinking indicating low battery. I feel like the battery has lost its strength or something else I don't know.

For today, I charged my laptop and phone with it around 12 pm, by past 2pm NEPA brought light, I turned it off, I didn't use it again till 9 pm and once I plugged the fan, it started indicating battery low again, so I removed the fan. But right now my laptop is fully charged but still plugged in but it's not blinking but once I plug the fan it starts indicating battery low... I didn't understand how that is working.

I need your expert advice because I intend to return it on Wednesday and get a 120 ah new gel battery(that's what I initially wanted to buy).

Thank you!

Go call the people that charge motor/trailer battery to come do electrolyte level test on the battery using hydrometer.

Maybe the electrolyte level is too low.

They will advise you accordingly after the test

Secondly, it seems your charge controller is PWM. if your solar panel is single 400w, you should get MPPT charge controller cos it is not recommended to PWM with panels above 250w. Cheers

any contact pls

I had assumed that my inverter got fried last night.

It didn't.

This morning I checked, the breaker between the inverter and the battery had tripped off.

Please do yourself some good.

One of the protections for your inverter and battery is to install a breaker between them.

Same way as you install a breaker between the PV modules and the inverter and a breaker between the charge controller and the batteries.

Don't skimp on protection.

Protection is cheaper than replacing units.

I seriously don't understand what happened in the night that caused this inverter to trip.

Suffice it to say that there was a guest in the house at the time who might have done something that led to this.

most normal mppt cc has voc of 150v,
powmr has voc of 150v for 48v, but 115v or so @ 24v

Why do you choose 12v panel for this beautiful Instllation chief?

Let me cut the long story short. That was the available pv.
I was planning to use 2 pcs of 580w Junko pv but the of trouble/stress of bringing them down to Uyo from either Abuja or Lagos was too much.
As I'm typing this, I've 5 pcs of 580w Jinko pv in Abuja and I'm told to pay 30k each for the waybill.
Again, I checked and saw 580w pv in fouani store website on the 12th of last month and I made payment for 5 pcs. The following day, I was called and told that the 580w was out of stock. There was no higher watt pv and my customer didn't want to go for a lower watt pv.
I called for a refund and I was told to go my bank and apply for charge back. I went and applied and my bank later told me the money is already in the fouani store account that there's nothing the bank can do.
I called fouani customer service and I was told to wait. They later called me that the money was refunded to my account on Monday this week. I checked my app and I didn't see it. I will still go back to my bank and print account statement.
I will NEVER EVER buy anything from fouani store again. The stress of getting a refund is unbearable

Anybody with cheap solar panels for sale in Warri
I need like 600w I have 150k

Eeya.. Sorry abt all that.. That means we in south west here don't know what we are enjoying ooo.. Na to just carry cabstar go pack am from their office down to the work site i they always do as far as them get available..

This happened again today and the weather is really sunny

I put on the inverter and it was around 27.6v

Connected to the house and the solar charging went off but battery was still draining

I turned off the PV breaker, the inverter then the battery

Turned on the battery breaker,

turned on the inverter it was 27.6v

Turned on the PV breaker, it started charging

When I put on the load in the house, the battery voltage ran up to about 28v plus then the solar charging line went off again

I just tried again, turned off everything

Put on the battery then inverter (27.1v)

Connected the load (It ran up to 28.3v??)

Then turned on the solar and its the same not charging but voltage is now down to 26.9v

I turned on my fridge and the voltage is up to 27.4v but still no solar charging

I'm lost now but the Voltage seems to be all over the place.

gadgetplanetng:
I've attached the photos.

It might be the weather very cloudy today

I noticed it some days ago too when my battery was full but once I put load on it it started charging again so was confused seeing it today weather is dull.



It's really cloudy today though.

What are your panels VOC? How are they connected and does it do that when the battery is not fully charged and you put on your house load?

LITHIUM BATTERY OR NORMAL leadacid battery?..this is a strange behaviour..battery voltage going up when load is applied

You might need to take the inverter to their service center.
If you can remember, I had something like the your issue with my SMS inverter which I thought was acting funny due to partial/voltage leakage from my negative cable from the panel but apparently after I solved the cable issue, the inverter returned to same issue after some days so I ended taking it their office which they worked on.
When it was opened, it was discovered that some varistors was burnt which they changed and mppt card program and it's been working fine since last week Thursday.
Mppt issue was having 270v from panels but inverter seeing 25v.
The pictures shows the interface before and after repair

Mine is old (Easun) plus I'm not sure they have a service center here or is it something others can repair?
I'm thinking of just using one spare Powmr 60A controller for the solar charging while I figure the solution.

If not service center, using external cc is the best option rather than someone random tempering with the panel

It is about Demand, HV inverters are industrial applications. its has not become mainstream like that. Once demand increase they will surely bring them, you can always ship it anyway.
