kiekie1: I do have a different approach these days and it works just fine for me. And my Ariston 50L tanks can retain the water hot for 3 days (2 days with use). Like Pranil, I'm having the best of both worlds without needing extra tanks. |

Saipro: Sir, that ain't what we wer debating! Its all about having hot water continuously with rest of mind , and also energy efficient .. The example I gave about 72hrs is more or less like a theoretical example if we have very DULL WEATHER for 3 days but you know there must be sun to aid in warm water if not totally hot as the solar vaccum tubes are sensitive ! If you have a mighty battery bank of 48v 600-1000a upwards , you can always give your old ariston 10L electric heater a shot .. I wont really advice same if you are just managing 48v 200a or equivalent , you must be ready to replace batteries due to abuse because hot water is like an addiction .. Meanwhile, not all men/breadwinner have time to keep controlling/monitoring water heating affairs at home if connected directly to a miniature solar system et small battery bank.. Mr Pranil system is automated-controlled .. Cheer's 2 Likes |

Dear Sir, How has your experience been with the Magnum PT100 Charge Controller? I am sure vs. your old controller it is performing superlatively well! In keeping with the house tradition, you should give us a review/tear down to educate us and broaden the knowledge base. olagunju2000: |

NGN1.650Million all in cost for a 48v 360AH LifeP04 battery bank looks to me like a very good deal - (this is based on the price in the picture you posted) In fact I should like to get user reviews one year down the road of their Lithium experience at such a price point before I am convinced it is for real. kiekie1: 1 Like |

Good morning house. A friend put on his 5kva generator and switched on the change-over switch with the inverter being the only load on the generator. He heard spectacular explosions and smoke from the inverter. About 6 FETs are obviously damaged, the rest are also shorted. Did the damage have anything to do with the fact that the inverter was the only load on the generator ? Will replacing all the FETs bring the inverter back to life/Could any other components have been damaged besides the FETs ? Thanks everyone.

kiekie1: When my water heater setup clocks one calendar year, I'll give the house my own review. It works fine for me, sunshine or no sunshine. And trust me, it is very battery friendly. The don't-try-this-at-home clause is the only reason I haven't published my report to the house. Besides, it's not to be attempted by beginners. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Braaad: 3:26pm On Dec 18, 2017 |
Could you post a connection diagram, that would help to determine if you were mistakenly back feeding the inverter. The inverter being the only load on generator is not the cause of mos tube damage. dejidotun2000: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by dejidotun2000(m): 3:37pm On Dec 18, 2017 |
The inverter was not being backfed. It was installed about 3 years ago and no modifications have been made to the wiring/connection since then. Braaad: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by makavele: 5:03pm On Dec 18, 2017 |
dejidotun2000: Sh!t happens and electronics can just go kaboom for no good reason. But you need to give it to a seasoned electrician , , , Do not attempt to change the Fets on your own . . because in most causes; the shorted Fets creates a short inside the gates . . and this damages the circuitry that drives the gates . . . Change the all mosfets and connect the inverter; and you will hear another kaboom ; back to square one. N.B.: Be careful when you handle circuit boards that contain capacitors; they can store power high enough to deliver a fatal electric shock; even when they are powered off (especially when the unit was just disconnected; without discharging the capacitors) 4 Likes |

Guys, Anyone with experience on the Kung Long 12V, 200Ah Batteries, how strong are they, how long have you been using the battery, I am considering buying one but exercising restraint due to previous experience on some brands. Thanks for your helps! |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by DMerciful(m): 8:25pm On Dec 20, 2017 |
Replacing all the mosfets will likely fix the inverter. in my small 500w inverter i use at night, i have replaced the mosfet twice(one time after lightning storm) infact i have spares for the next failure . Mosfets tends to fail when there is high transient voltage. hope u friend's gen is regulated? dejidotun2000: 1 Like |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by DMerciful(m): 8:29pm On Dec 20, 2017 |
He can convenient change the fets. the gate resistor has such a high resistance that failure to the driving circuitry is unlikely. i have change my small inverter twice and i have spares for the next failure . To limit the chances of electric shock from capacitor, put on the inverter after disconnection from mains to use up whatever is stored in the capacitor besides capacitor will give u and unpleasant shock at worst...nothing major makavele: 2 Likes |

DMerciful: While low voltage capacitors will give you an unpleasant shock; that shock is just enough to mess with your hearts rhythm for some milli-seconds. . . . if he already has a weak heart; or is on a pace-maker; you can kiss his ass goodbye . . na grave things !! Also, capacitors can blow up when still charged and shortcuited; and i pray he is not wearing safety googles when it does. And finally, I've suffered a major electric shock from a 1.5 HP air conditioner capacitor; it wasn't funny at all . . . Whilst it wasn't lethal, it was enough to make me call it a day! |
