Tucode:
Hello guys, good evening. Can anyone tell me about SMS hybrid inverter in terms of durability and performance? I am planning to get a 10.2kva sms transformerless hybrid inverter to replace my older inverter that got damaged. Also, I heard that transformer based inverters are better than transformerless inverters. Also, is there any need for me to add another mppt charge controller to an hybrid inverter that already has a 160A mppt controller? The installer was telling me that I should still get a separate charge controller for it… Please Nairaland inverter profs, I need your urgent response.

Finally, apart from Felicity brand, which other inverter brands are reliable and durable and affordable? Thank you.

I use same SMS 10.2kva inverter. My load testing shows its more of an 8.2kw inverter than the rated 10.2kw. But apart from this, Its a fair inverter that does the basic well. Like the elders advised, look into the cause of your previous inverter developing issues, this will mitigate against future occurrences

If it's rated for 10.2 kva and pf is like 0.8, then the 8.2 kw is in order then.

Thank you very much.
Found it on Konga and Jumia.
Thanks again. Specs matched my desire.

🤣 you bought from jumia for maybe 20k plus, it's sold at Alaba international for 14k.

Good morning to all the gurus in the house

Please which solar panel will you recommend for a small shop with only lighting points and 2 fans

I want the cheapest one that would serve the purpose

It actually rated 10.2kw(10.2kva with pf=1). had to check online, people complained about same rating issue. It's overated. But for its price, it's a fair bargain

Most not premium Chinese inverter brands overate their systems. Some by a factor of one! This people is even conservative in their rating.

That is why you see this in some of their description:

Inverter 3000W, continuous power is1500W, peak power is 3000W. Recommended 1200w.


I'm like why not just state inverter is 1200w?

How much be Powmr MPPT CC 60a

Is this sms mppt controller a good brand?

Xanderone:
So I got this Tuya DC meter to test out it's functions. I'd been angry with dem Chinese for not thinking out a way to make a DC meter that works on Tuya platform despite the numerous smart add-ons that they have on that platform.
. I present to you, the Tuya Smart DC meter.

Second and fourth pictures are screenshots of some of the functions as it is on my mobile.

Even though with felicity hybrid I use, I can have some online monitoring capacity. But this Tuya meter appears to pack some punches.

Hi,

How is this performing? I just read about a similar product on AE. They said even though it's bidirectional, you have to always reset to zero when charging or discharging to have accurate capacity readings. What that implies, is that if you don't reset it for a solar connected battery, it just keeps increasing in kWh readings wether the battery is charging or discharging. Is this true please?

Latest review on our Easun 3000w pure sinewave offgrid inverter.

Customer was very concerned about the inverter powering his Strongdab 1hp pumping machine. After assuring him that it would (as I have video evidences from other customers confirming so), I still offered him a conditional refund provision if it doesn't power it.

We met on Sunday evening and I was greeted with the attached review on Monday morning. Video review will be provided later. Not only did it power his pumping machine, the humming of sound his fan makes when working on his former inverter disappeared confirming it is a pure sine wave inverter

If you are on a budget and you need a decentpure sinewave inverter that does the job, you can get this for just 100k

@tucode follow @brightk suggestion.

Inverter does not just burn
.

I know. I once used one 1.5kva Luminous inverter for 8 years. Crazy thing inverter is still in service, no longer with me though.

If all connections are ok and house does not have a wiring problem, then inverter should not go bad, especially without thunderstorms as we are in dry season.

Mine just got burnt, moved to a new apartment and same day of installation my inverter got damaged. Solar panels hadn't even been attached. I'm confused currently, suspecting house wiring, suspecting installer..

I need help with a good replacement for the inverter unit, installer dey say technicians dem dey talk say dem no fit fix am easily as na older model.

Epp me!

Batteries are lead, just in case.

There could be a short circuit somewhere.
Not all inverters are built to dodge such bullet. As some ppu no one hear Satchet inverters for ear, depending on the type though, most will escape short circuit conveniently even deliberately.

I was left frustrated, I mean this same setup was working great same day it was uninstalled. New house, new wahala.

Are you recommending a Satchet inverter?

I use a powmr 60amps mppt charge controller connected to a 24v system I used 3panels of 280w voc of 39v in series but it’s generating max 63w
What could be the cause?

Hello everyone,

I'm currently considering Jakson solar modules for a solar energy project and came across their product offerings on their website. I'm particularly interested in learning more about the key features and performance metrics of their solar panels.

Can anyone share their experience with Jakson's solar modules in terms of efficiency and durability?
What makes Jakson’s modules stand out compared to other brands available in the market?
Are there any specific maintenance requirements for these panels?
How do Jakson's products perform in varying weather conditions, especially in areas with extreme temperatures?

It is a choice.

What is the capacity of the inverter?

What load was on when it was damaged?

What's the make and model of the inverter?

It'll be hard to ascertain the issue remotely, we can only guess.

Best way to fix is to get a more knowledgeable installer to come and check that there is no issue with the installation, that is if you think the current one you used is not that knowledgeable.

You have exceeded the Max VOC rating for a 24v set up for PowMr.The max VOC is 105v.You can't go beyond 2units of 280w in series for a 24v set up.You are lucky your CC hasn't fried. What brands are your panels? I am sure they are not up to the rated capacity that's why your CC hasn't burnt!

Sir the max voltage of powmr 60A CC is 150v(for the old models). The charging profile is where changes occur for 12v is max 600w for 24v 1200w for 36v 2160w and 48v 2880w. This are the supply powers to the battery.what the guy should do is to take a test first for his panels, reading the voltage and amps coming from the connected array, to know if they are connected properly.

I think the panels are connected properly else it wouldn’t be giving that voltage.
What do you think?

Have you tested them one by one with meter, because that 36v you are saying is for only one panel voltage, if they are connected in series, you suppose to see above 80v so find somebody to check if they are connected.

For you to have that voltage shows the panels were connected in series but to be drawing low wattage could means:
The time of the day you took the reading (maybe cc just woke up or it's going to sleep);
There may be shade cast on your panels;
Maybe your batteries are full and you don't have much load on;
Check all connections are well tight.
Just my submission but physical check is the ultimate.

The max of 150v is for 36v and 48v set up.Please carefully read your manual.

As you can see from the manual the total voltage that can brake the controller is 190v. Even if you think it In a lay man point of view will powmr create a controller that will work well with 150v in some settings and get burnt in 105v settings when they both use the same Hardware

As the other poster has said their may be shading or dust in your panels that limiting it to produce well
