When I want to on the fridge I off everything. It doesn't pick the fridge, it only picks the light inside the fridge if I open the fridge door.

You have an interesting and quite peculiar case, please share your

Lastly, how do it behave if or when you turn on the fridge.

Also, as a last resort, turn of all loads and use only the fridge, if it works, then continue to practices this simple tweak.,

I see.

Well, I doubt your fridge uses an inverter compressor like you said, else the inverter would have powered it.

I suspect it is a normal compressor that has the usual high starting surge. You can confirm so by putting on the fridge while your gen is on. If it "draws" the gen on start up, then it is the normal compressor.

If you confirm it to be a normal compressor, then it may be that your inverter is not truly 1.5kva so it is not able to accommodate that starting surge which could be over 1000w.

We are also not sure whether your battery is getting enough charge particular from the solar panels, likely because the solar panels are not original (sorry to say so, I am sure you have read about labelling of panels here), so it could also be the case that the battery is not getting sufficient charge to supply the inverter the juice it needs to cushion the start up surge of the fridge between it trips off or so.

Begin by leaving the battery to itself to charge full either through grid or via solar for a day. Then put off your ALL your load, and switch on ONLY the fridge first.

If it doesn't power the fridge, then the inverter is likely the problem and a low hanging fruit you can resolve first.

Update us on this and we can discuss further.

That person that told you that you need a 24v inverter to be able to power your fridge or freezer NA QUACK.
I will suggest you stop listening to his misleading advice.

I agree. Very wrong advise from a place of ignorance. My first set up was a 12v connection with just one battery and it powered by 200+ litre fridge of 110w or so.

Usually, if a fridge is switched off and then put on within a short while, the internal light will come on, but the compressor will take some minutes to pick up.

preyeamaorutobi:
Thank you sir for your response. I was told I need a 24V inverter to be able to run my fridge that was why I was thinking of upgrading the inverter to 2.5kva. I don't know if I'm in the right track but if getting just a another battery will solve the problem then I will be very happy.

Your inverter is 1.5kva which Is adequate to provided power for the fridge. You just need more current (battery) so you don't damage your existing battery ( i no wan dey explain in details)


Your 60A mppt controller would not function to its maximum abilities since your system is a low voltage system so pwm are better

I think it's an inverter fridge because when the gen is on it doesn't shake it at all.

Share pics, make and model of the fridge so that we can look it up. But also try the other recommendation I offered

Good day House,

I recently bought a solar generator (Ecoflow Delta 2) . I would like advice on how to connect it to the house to that it can power up my house lights and 2 sockets for fridge and Tv.

Presently l use extension cables to power my fridge and entertainment centre.

See attachment from their website.

Thank you in advance

The battery usually charge to the fullest and float. Maybe I'll on the fridge again and keep it for about 20 minutes to see if it will pick. What do you mean by a low hanging fruit?

How do you know the battery gets full and floats regularly? Do you confirm so with an external voltmeter/multimeter? If you are relying on the reading from the inverter, then you are on a long thing as the voltage reading from the inverter is probably incorrect.

Low hanging fruit is not a technical terminology. It simply means an option that is easy to accomplish first before moving on to harder option.

Okay, I'll on it for a while and see if it picks.

First picture is the fridge. It is a Haier Thermocool 259L non-inverter deep freezer.

Second picture is the inverter. It is an Easun pure sine-wave offgrid inverter rated in watts, just like your appliances. It is rated 3000w/1500w (peak/continuous). You can see test videos of the inverter through this thread:

Get an original 13A plug

decommision your old generator cable if you have it

rewire the generator cable and switch the generator change over to the generator side.

you should have power.

if confused about this or running into a more complex situation, then you need a trained professsional.

This is...horribly expensive.

you need an electrician for this part, it is not something an untrained person can venture into.
