Does this occur while inverter is switched off? If nope, switch off the inverter

Same here. But na for bungalow height, and my balcony directly overlooks them, so Dem de there like rock.
Waut u mean u just put the panel on the roof without anything to hold it down? What type of roofing and is it slopy?

How can people help you with answer?

I am not vast in RE but it is better you give all information, to help those who are willing to answer your questions.

You ask a vague question and expected people to crack their brain and solve your problem.

There is no Inverter known as all in one, what brand of inverter are you using?


Lol. Hybrid inverters are the inverters called All in One. Inverters with Charge Controller, AC Charger and Inverter is called AIO. When you dont know something, just say you dont know and move on๐Ÿ˜…

Good Day Gurus,

Long time no post no see.

Please i need an installer in Eket, Akwa Ibom.

Did a job and was hitting 30 to 35amps. suddenly getting 12 or 13amps.

Please i need ur input and if i kud get someone to come help check it.

hit me up at 08165471453.

Please wont they work when connected in series to get the 48v?

If yes, what are the disadvantages of doing that compared to the above?

The BMS that came with it does not support series connection.
They may be voltage drift on the long run, also the plan was to get a 6KVA inverter to power the required load.

in a set up like this, i believe reducing the charge controller charging current from 120A to 20-30A will prevent "choking" the battery with excessive current rush.


However,what i believe senior members can help us clarify is...

At the max current of 120A he should potentially be able to generate 1740w( 580w X3)
After reducing the current to 20A to protect the batteries, will that affect the maximum power that can be generated ?
can he still power the same load like before during peak sunlight periods?

Pls can i use 2 pair of 12v 100ah with 4kva inverter to power 1.5hpower submersible pump?

1.5HP submersible consumes about 1700 watts. 2 nos of 12v 100ah is about 2400wh (I'm assuming the batteries are lithium batteries). The run hours will be less than 1 hour 30 minutes. You are also draining it at a high C-rate of 75A (I'm assuming the 4kva is a 24v inverter) which is almost 1C.


Unless you do this during heavy sunshine (I'm assuming you have like 3000w of solar panels) this will continuously strain your battery.

Also I'm assuming the battery is wired with appropriately sized cables and have fuses and breakers of right capacity.

My recommendation: consider getting a standalone solar panels + DC/AC pump to replace the current AC submersible pump, or upgrading the system to 48v and get a 48v lithium battery (from 7.5kwh upwards) to run this pump or finally to use NEPA/Gen to pump water.

Real power draw is different from spec sheet based on many factors (length of pump to where pipes start from, wire Guage and wrong labeling of actual pump capacity).

What most buy as 1.5hp is mostly 2hp pump.

Ordinary this supposed to be 1.5kw, but above factors could make it consume upto 2.3kw in real usage compared to the typical 1.1kw you would seen boldly written on the body of the pump.

WE BUY DEAD/SCRAP BATTERIES!!!

We also buy off scrap/dead deep cycle batteries from any state to Lagos (Terms & Condition applies) ..

You could make money from your dead or swollen batteries.


12v 200a ..... N70,000
12v 150a.......N47,500
12v 100a.......N35,000
2v 500a ........N15,000

Free pickup within some parts of Lagos mainland but Shared cost logistics within Lagos Island environs . . If outside Lagos state , send the scrap batteries to your nearby Lagos park & get your payment alert immediately after confirmatory remarks from me with the transport company manager / secretary or driver shared logistics cost depending on scrap battery quantity) ..

Scrap batteries could also be traded in for brand new battery replacements..... Prices might be reviewed from time to time
