tonididdy: That is not the actual battery voltage, it's rather the charging voltage and can go up to 15v depending on the type of battery, CC settings or the state of charge. |

Trippledots: Please note that the screen display can not be switched off, at least that's with the one I have. This picture seems to show an improved new model (can't be so sure but the switch on this is different from that in mine). Also I found out that generally, inverters with in-built AC charger tend to have higher no-load consumption hence the reason I retired it for one with no AC charger. I didn't really test the consumption but I took that "fact" of higher no-load consumption as a fact. This inverter has in-built voltage stabilizer as well, so I guess that will further contribute to no-load consumption. Another thing noteworthy in this inverter is the fact that when the charging voltage is low to around 180v to around 196v (which is very common with NEPA supply) and you have appliances plugged into it, the voltage stabilizer switches the battery charging off and shunts the voltage directly to power the appliance, hence battery charging suffers. But if appliances aren't plugged in during this period, the battery is charged. If voltage input is adequate, charging is quite fast (I think the in-built charger is 20A) and it is able to power appliances at the same time. I hated that problem so I bought an external charger to charge my batteries. 1 Like 1 Share

TIP; We need to be very careful with how some buyers are very eager to procure cheap substandard renewable energy materials.. First it was the scam about "cells made in germany", later came all sorts of german and japan gel technology in batteries.. Now is dekka, victron, phocos, so many low quality unbranded/rebranded solar panels floating around open market.. We may soon start buying andre and kuemmerling solar panels and batteries ![]()

Hi guys. I just carried out the first major upgrade of my offgrid solar setup after decommissioning the previous install back in December. The new upgrade was long in planning and the idea was to incorporate things I learned from the first install. Unlike the previous install where I had control over many aspect of the system including roof location and battery install location. This new one I had to make do with what is available, The only roof space available for me was the north side of a building adjoining to mine since my roof could not support the installation of 9 335w solar panel in series. Basic System Specification Include: 9 x 335w Yingli Poly Solar Panels = 3015w Axpert MKS 3KVA / 2.4Kw Inverter (iPowerplus label) Victron Smart MPPT 100A / 150v Solar Charge Controller 4 x Exide TI1750 200AH Flooded Battery Accessory Include: Victron Battery Monitor BMV 700 Victron Battery Voltage and Temperature Sensor Raspberry Pi 3B (For remote Monitoring Dashboard) Panel Configuration The panels were installed in a 3 3 3 setup, 3 panels in series and the output of each series connection are then paralleled into a home made combiner box. Each positive side of the 3 series array were each terminated to a DC breakers installed in a breaker box to allow for array separation and then from breaker box to home made combiner box. Inverter and CC configuration I installed a positive and Negative busbar. All Positive wire from the inverter and cc terminated to a positive bus bar each running through a 125A DC circuit breaker. The Negative from the inverter also terminates to the battery bus bar via the current shunt for the victron battery monitor. Battery Setup: The batteries are connected in series parallel. 2 pairs of batteries in series and their output combined together in parallel. The parallel setup was configured so that each battery had a + and - wiring of equal length terminated to the same positive and negative busbar where the inverter was installed Cabling: For cabling, I used 6mm for the PV to the combiner box From the combiner box to the cc is a 10mm cable (distance is less than 2 meters) cc and inverter to battery bus bar is a 25mm cable bus bar to the batteries is a 35mm cable 1 foot 50mm cable was used for the series connection I installed a Victron Battery sensor for voltage and battery temperature sensor. It is installed on one of the batteries in the bank and connected to the battery terminal point to give out the battery voltage at terminal to the charge controller and also sends the battery temperature for temperature compensated charging. Monitoring A rasbberry Pi 3 is installed. It uses the Victron VE direct to usb cable to quarry information from the charge controller and the battery monitor bmv 700, it also uses the USB B to USB A cable supplied with the Axpert MKS 3KVA inverter to query it for data. The Pi is connected to my home wireless network and sends all the data gathered (via the MQQT protocol) to my custom emoncms install on a virtual private server someone in the cloud. The result is the dashboard which displays in real time the system performance http://energy.bobby.com.ng/dashboard/view?id=14 (The energy log is abit off, I generated 9kwh yesterday but it is reading 18kwh so it needs a little tweaking). In all the system is a mid sized setup to power a moderate load of about 450w (day time load) and 250w - 90w load at night. From the battery monitoring usually pull about 90AH - 100AH from the battery bank at night which is about 25-30% dod. Fridge and freezer go off by 6pm and comes on by 9am 10 Likes 2 Shares

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Saipro(m): 9:32am On Jan 04, 2020 |
NiyiOmoIyunade:Very correct. However, all 3 of the aforementioned manufacturers have meters able to use shunts up to 5,000A I think. I once got a 5,000 shunt for my Midnite before tossing it out. Couldn't even give it out for free (as you mentioned, almost no home user deals with that kind of capacity). Darn thing weighs a ton! |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ojeysky(m): 10:20am On Jan 04, 2020 |
bigrovar: This is cool, If it's a normal fridge I think you can still leave it on without issues (my freezer comes on by 10am and off by 4pm). I don't know why but I think my fridge pulls lesser power through the night (less than 50w) so I leave it on and am still at 50% DoD by morning (off-grid on a 300A battery bank). What has been your peak hervest on the 3kw array? |

@Bigrovar looking at your flooded batteries, they seem to be on the bare tiled floor. Please try to get em on some kinda hard plastic or wooden base. From my little practical experience I've found out that batteries on the bare floor get really cold at the base. This affects it's chemistry negatively. 3 Likes |

Hello house, Please i am trying to install a solar panel system for my parents, can you recommend a good solar installer in Ilorin? Secondly, I want to ask if anyone can help with the schematic drawing for hybrid inverter connection. I am not an expert but I try to read up, and from my readings, it seems that the connection of solar hybrid inverter is different from the normal solar-inverter connection. Thirdly, I assume I don't need a charge controller if I am using a hybrid inverter...please help clarify. Lastly, what is the recommended cable size and type for connection from the panels to the inverter....this is so that if I don't get a recommended installer, I can at least monitor the one I can manage to get to ensure a good connection. Thanks house. 1 Like |

Janyves:That is actually the idea.. Batteries hate heat and Nigeria is generally a hot and tropical region so ambient temperature tend to be very high. Heat is the enemy of battery and putting it on the floor was suppose to help with some form of heat transfer. Well that was the idea.. but turns such theory might not translate where in practical sense since the heat transfer would be minimal and advantages of putting it on the floor kind of minimal. I would be putting it on wood for the practical purpose of cleaning... not a priority now though. |
