seriously
I no know o

lolzzz

mcTrinity:


1200W max (80%)
might be safer to keep the load at 1000w

errrmmmm 1.5kva = 1200w assuming 0.8pf, thus 1200w is the max capacity of the inverter, loading it up again to the max capaity isnt ideal. i would suggest 1000w maximum

i need to change my batteries.



should I go for quanta or luminous.

@.8PF, that must be a very good inverter! I will say .68PF so d inverter ~ 1020w, load it with a max of 800w.

jarkbauer:
what is the max load in watts a 1.5KVA inverter should carry

Dear friends,

Please celebrate with me!!!

The good sunny days are coming back again I got home early today and checked out my system performance only to see 76Amps NET flowing into my batteries. I could not contain my joy and so I whipped out my camera and started taking pictures to show the house.

Glossary:

Pic 1 - Net amps flow into batteries after deducting house loads and inverter self consumption - 76Amps

Pic 2 - MorningStar CC1 connected to 3.6Kw of Flames Panels (300w x 12 Units) - 47.7Amps

Pic 3 - MorningStar CC2 connected to 2.97kw of Canadian Solar Panels (330w x 9 Units) - 45.9Amps

This for me is stellar performance for a 6.6Kw West-facing PV Array.

And more interesting even to be able to benchmark the performance of Tier 2 Flames 300w vs. Tier 1 Canadian Solar 330w using exactly the same 2units of MorningStar MPPT 60A connected to the same 48v 800Ah battery bank. I will leave the house to discuss this aspect of the price vs. performance (value for money) equation.

NB: The Flames are now about 2 years old while the Canadian Solar are just very recently installed.

Credits to MorningStar Corporation who make these wonderful CCs, Zeestone99 and crew for the installation and JUO who showed me without charge some undocumented performance tweaks that allowed me to squeeze max wattage out of this mid-sized PV array as well as Gennex Tech for supply of Canadian Solar Panels at a bargain price

NiyiOmoIyunade,
congrats on your harvest.indeed happy times are here at last.

and still on the matter, a snapshot from my own array this afternoon.

harmattan dust and soot from my panels.

truly d sun is the answer!

Sir!!! Master!!! Sir!!!

I bow.

It was your pioneering efforts that inspired the likes of us to go off-grid and embrace the bounties of the sun.

Oga GeorgeD1.

Please I have a question - how were you able to sync the output of two MorningStar CCs to just one remote meter? Are you using the MorningStar MeterHub? And if yes does it also allow you to synchronize perfectly the charging behaviour of both CCs

As you may notice from my posted pics, I have been facing challenges getting my two MorningStar CCs to act as one single unit while charging - one CC may be in Absorb while the other is in Bulk even though they are sharing one common battery voltage sense cable - in fact one may drop to Float while the other one then trips off and stops charging entirely.

I feel that if I can get them to be in perfect sync then I would be able to get max juice out of them. I have looked at the MeterHub documentation but I am not yet convinced that it would bring my two CCs into perfect sync.

Abeg how much is morningstar cc ? My own is not giving me the required output and i think it's a CC quality issue. Using the same Flames panels that Niyi is praising o.

I saw your prior post RE: Flames panels performance but I decided to keep quiet on it as many factors from battery SoC, mounting angle to orientation to shading to ambient weather, temperature and cloud cover and as you rightly pointed out quaity of CC used e.t.c affect yields.

I have had several opportunites to compare the performance of MorningStar vs. EP Solar side by side and the MorningStar consistently gives about 30% extra yield but bear in mind it costs twice as much sha MorningStar will lock to a Max power point and maintain amps output even as cloud cover e.t.c changes but EP Solar would just be jumping up and down and picking a lower yield point to settle on.

I was able to sample the Fangpusun series thanks to JUO and they do give far better performance than EP Solar as per MPPT tracking and amps output but ultimately I decided to go with my trusty MorningStar of which I know it and its capabilities in and out and have also attended a lot of their technical training e-sessions. The Fangpusun interestingly comes in at a lower price point than EP Solar.

Talk to JUO for supplies of the MorningStar or Fangpusun as with him you are almost sure to get the best prices available locally. If you wish to import a MorningStar CC and save about 20k with a 2 week wait then I may be able to help you but you have to pre-pay

You will always do better with the premium vs. china origin CCs but don't forget price vs performance. Someone here also has been offering the Midnite Classic at what seems to me an impossible price so you may wish to explore that route... but before you buy a new CC be sure to eliminate other system bottlenecks that may be giving you poor performance

It appears the vaster majority of people here are Midnite CC fans and they swear by their Midnite's performance but as for me and my house, we will stick with the MorningStar we know and love and trust

@Niyi the Fangpusun you sampled, was it the Flex series or the Blue Solar ones? The online prices I'm seeing for MorningStar TS-45 are over my head - it can buy another 4 panels. Hoping someone had a morningstar for a bargain but I might also consider a tier-2 mppt controller like fangpusun

The Blue Solar/Victron like clone ones.

I think somebody here @BodeGeorge advertised two USED units of MorningStar MPPT 45A with display for sale - you could also reach out to him and see what you can work out.

I distinctly remember they were 45A units and not 60A so please note especially if you have future expansion plans

cc @makavele let's go n steal one controller and some panels afterall if we steal half, he ll stil have enough power.

Nawa o, u guys are making me feel like I don't have common inverter, very unfair, i dare not post snapshot of my setup, una don spoil market lyk futbol transfer market ; ;DD... I was briefed abt d latest, will call u for details...

hello NiyiOmoIyunade,
you're right. i'm using the meter hub. one of its major uses is to allow multiple controllers share the
same meter. it aggregates the output (wattage and amperage) and allows single point control. however,
it won't help you sync your voltages.

I also had similar experience like yours when I started using more than one tristars on the same battery
bank. I noticed that one charge controller always seemed to be ahead in voltage and it would always be
first to enter absorb and float while the other one lagged behind. so after battling with this for a while
I decided to disconnect the battery sense cable from the leading charge controller. by so doing I practically
blinded the erstwhile leading cc and made the former lagging cc the new master. both voltages were now
aligned with just a 0.1v 0r at most 0.2v difference which worked great for me.

today's sun is really something else.

i pray for more sun hours like this for us all.

20.8kwh and still counting!

Don't 4get to give review of ur balancer, i measured his ba3s dis morning and all Ba3s were of same voltage with diff of 0.01,wch is quite impressive.I tink the balancers works better than the desulphator, anyway we await anoda review from one of our forum member here.

HI, I have morning star coming from the USA(in 2weeks time) at a cheaper rate also I still have one midnite left. @ Niyiomoiyunade my price and the products are real and genuine and have sold to some people on this forum. Thanks

Oga Ola.

Please o! I am very sorry but I meant no offence.

What I meant by impossible was that your prices are very low and represent a super bargain relative to other sellers on this forum.

If you've been following the history of this thread, you will see that this is the kind of healthy competition we wish to encourage on this forum as it can only benefit we DIYers and the end user.

If you can keep these prices up you will be giving all the sellers on this forum a good run for their money

We hope to hear good reviews from those who have transacted with you and your reward for doing well will be accolades and more business for you.

All the best Sir and I will definitely call on you for the very next MorningStar I will deploy to client.
