I bought this fan some months back and it has started "misbehaving"! It recently developed a mind of its own by going into highest level and coming down to the lowest level. grin It doesn't accept any command from the remote. I don't know if anyone has experienced such or knows a solution to this particular problem.
Anyone?

I use it and have never had any issues. The motor has a small controller board that is replaceable. That may be the issue.

It’s a PWM charge controller that shows the readings.
This is from this morning:
Panel Reading by 9:00am
Twin Tech 12.5V 1.0Amp = 13.75Watts
Africell 12.5V 1.0Amp =12.5Watts
Parallel Connection 2.6Amp 12.9V =33.54Watts

Panel Reading by 9:26am
Africell 13.0V 1.8Amp = 23.4Watts
Twin Tech 12.9V 1.5Amp = 19.35Watts
Parallel Connection 2.9Amp 13.2V = 38.28Watts


This is way too low for a 360Watts panel. What could be the issue here?

but pwm controller does not show Amp naw it only show voltage...try to get a multimeter and read the amp directly from panel...the two panel cant be bad.. this morning am getting 5.1 amp from my 200w africell panel
secondly 9am is too early try it around 11am

More regular but decent washing is better than one, painstakingly squeaky clean wash. Dust will always still settle.

Yeah, I had to add a panel to my setup, so I just told the technician to wipe the panels down. Been less than a week and already getting dusty again angry

Biggest issue, however, is that I'm only getting 60% of total capacity these days sad

At the very start of the harmattan season I was getting 90%+, dust in the air really affects panel performance it seems.

Turn off your regulator and use only the remote to operate it... The controller is going bonkers

Please I need a very efficient means of cooking food using my inverter. Inverter is 4.2kw 24v with 280ah lifepo4 battery. I am considering an infrared cooker or just a plain rice cooker, any pointers?

Go and buy Belgium induction cooker. Around 25k. You will also need induction cooker pot.

Infrared cooker are good too. They cook fast, efficient and you can use any kind of pot on it. That's what I use on my inverter. You can consider one

Is the inverter high voltage PV?

Yes, its High VOC hybrid inverter.

Hello, these are my observations so far so good. MPPT didn’t help either. Remember I have 2pcs of 180Watts 12/18V panel with a max current of 10Amps. Parallel connection.
Below is what I got after trying an MPPT to see if there will be any improvement

Felicity MPPT
1.0Amp 14V =‘14Watts @8:30am
1.4Amp 16V = 22.4Watts @9:00am
2.2Amp 15V = 33Watts @9:30am
2.4Amp 15V = 36Watts @9:38am
2.6Amp 15V = 39watts @10:00am
2.8Amp 15V = 42Watts @10:20am
3.1Amp 16V = 49.6Watts @11:00am
3.4Amp 15V = 51Watts @11:20am

With PWM: I quickly changed the connection back to PWM
3.8Am 14.1V = 53.58Watts @11:25am


Basically, what my observation is telling me is that the PWM is better. But overall, something is wrong with my system, and I don’t know what it is. This is 14% of my panel output I am getting.

The sun is literally shining on top of my Panel. I am getting tired. Please what could be the problem? Could it be the cable used? Below is the image of the cable:

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by BigDickProblems: 11:50am
Please I am throwing these questions to all experienced folks, kindly help me with your knowledge:

My panels are not giving me a good output using a PWM, now I just got a Felicity 30AMps controller and it’s even worse. Below are my observations today

I don’t have a multimeter, it’s quite expensive. The meter I have can only measure voltages. And their voltages are ok so far so good.

Voltage obviously isn't the issue since you already get good voltage from both the MPPT and PWM. The problem is you're getting 3A from a setup that should be yielding almost 20A.

Just look for an electrician with a multimeter and have him take a reading in full sunlight.

[Ok I just figured out the issue. It’s from the Twin tech. I have been duped of my hard earned 45k.

This is what I found out after testing the 2 panels separately:
Single Connection at 1:20pm
Africell
20Volts 3.8Amps =76Watts
Twintech
15Volts 0.6Amps = 9Watts
Connecting both
15Volts 3.4Amps = 51Watts


Notice that Africell is giving 42% output while the Twin Tech is not significant. Now combining the two in parallel affects the entire system to a very low output. Now I am certain of the issue.

Do they return solar panels? It’s not up to a month old.
