bigrovar:Please sir ans this why purchase a hybrid ipowerplus and still use a charge controller. Is that not waste of funds? Or am I missing something? I am still researching before I make my decision and I recently changed my mind from icell to ipowerplus 2kva and I don't intend buying a charge controller. Pls do ans this question I plan on using tubular battery 220ah or 200ah x 2 |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by DUNKA(m): 12:41pm On Jul 26, 2018 |
Namzy:What sort of batteries do you intend to use? If flooded you will need a separate cc to enable you properly charge and equalise the batteries. |

Please for a 50 litre 1500 watt water heater what is the ideal setting for a programmable timer since it will be on solar only operation? Any pointers would be appreciated. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by pranil(m): 4:52pm On Jul 26, 2018 |
DUNKA: Will the timer cutoff the heater? I would say 2 hours before bath time and off immediately after the last bath time. It is very difficult to predict the water heater timings as they change based on ambient temp , User and stored water temp ( underground is cool. overhead tanks normally reach 30 + during bright sunny days) |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Namzy(m): 5:30pm On Jul 26, 2018 |
DUNKA:Yes tubular batteries why can't the inverter charge it from mains and solar is it not hybrid again? 1 Like |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by NiyiOmoIyunade(m): 3:50am On Jul 27, 2018 |
Oga Pranil, I wanted to give an update on my DIY automatic transfer switch experiment - so I ended up sticking with the relay for those locations running security lights and making use of a contactor (LC1 D25008 - 4 Pole with 2NO/2NC) such as you recommended for those with inductive loads. The principle of operation for these transfer switches is that inverter always powers the loads within a user defined window (set by a timer switch) attached to the NC contacts while Mains Power on the NO contacts will always override inverter output whenever available. The contactors are able to tolerate low voltage (up to 185v AC) without any chatter and much to my surprise the transfer times are fast enough that the equipment (freezer compressor motor) does not seem to notice the changeover. Apologies for the messy wiring and single color code as these are still experimental at the various locations and we just cobble things together with whatever parts happen to be available - once they satisfy proof of concept for 3 months I will set them up more professionally. Also, although I should know better, I switch only the live contacts and leave the neutrals common outside the circuit ![]() I had asked before if there was a need to put in a circuit breaker between the inverter and Mains power sources to protect against a possible short circuit if the relay/contactor were to fail to disengage the NC and engage the NO contacts in an elegant manner or vice versa - what do you think please? See pictures below... pranil:

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bigrovar(m): 4:47am On Jul 27, 2018 |
Namzy: The answer is simple. I had the 2 charge controllers before getting the axpert inverter. The controller has more features and better charge algorithm and performance than the axpert. Lastly I am a convert of the Unix philosophy a tool that does one thing and does it well. Axpert is best an inverter which is what I use it for. |

babaegun:lead acid is 99% cyclicable so there is money to be made from buying old dead batteries and selling them to recycle companies home and abroad. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by DUNKA(m): 5:07am On Jul 27, 2018 |
Namzy:You will need a separate cc. In my experience tubular batteries need to be equalized at 64 volts and unfortunately the Axpert hybrid won't be able to reach that voltage. The cc matrix of the Axpert seems overwhelmed when you are using flooded batteries. My advise is get a separate cc or your batteries will fail within 6 to 10 months if solely using the hybrid inverter. |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by pranil(m): 12:28pm On Jul 27, 2018 |
bigrovar: I second that. Apart from SMA, I have not come across a company so knowledgeable and helpful on different application scenarios and wide har4dware compatibility There is no comparison to their open source approach in the RE business I have put so much faith now in Victron that I pulled out my entire system and in the process upgrading to 5 KW Quattro x 3 phase setup . The generator and NEPA will changeover through Victron so something goes wrong my house will be in darkness I have also acquired a Fronius SYMO 6 KW and Victron 250/70 CC ( in addition to my 150/70 and 150/45) to handle the large loads during daytime After consuming 87 litres in Last one year for my 20 KVA gen and spending more on starter batteries and chargers and maintenance for the gen than diesel saved I have decided the gen should be run regularly to keep things in balance till the time Lithium becomes really affordable and I can truly dispose the gen |
