Malevonent: Sorry about your CC. I keep hearing this "blue smoke" phrase when it comes to CC frying. Is the smoke actually blue coloured and is it with all CCs or with select ones? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ceaser: 8:50pm On Aug 30, 2020 |
justcallmenuel: Does that imply that the two units 24v200ah Felicity lithium are connected in series? I think a single 48v200ah would be good, right? |

It may be useful to know whether or not your CC also comes prepackaged with this blue/white smoke. The whole idea is to give you visual and olfactory clues when something is not right. So if you reverse the connections e.g. plug the battery cables into the PV terminals of the CC and plug the PV cables from the solar panel into the battery terminals of the CC, then you should release some smoke and afterwards you would be alright. Such a connection will usually blow out the capacitors on the CC battery side at a minimum and this should be a fairly easy replacement part also giving you a chance to open up and see your CC's internals Be sure to let us know the particular color of warning smoke the test CC released so we can all update our records. ceaser: 6 Likes |

NiyiOmoIyunade: Thanks. I will try that in the at daybreak preferably when the sun is not high up in the sky so as to minimize the damage. Shebi you said it's just a capacitor that will kaput at the minimum and it should be fairly replaceable? I will keep guys posted. Thanks once again. ![]() |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by NiyiOmoIyunade(m): 7:29am On Aug 31, 2020 |
Please don't do it o! I was just playing along with your original joke. On the average a CC made to support up to 48vdc nominal battery will have caps rated for say 72v or so on the battery side, if you plug in say 105v from PV early in the morning surely you will cause serious damage. Releasing the white/blue smoke is euphemistic for damaging a CC badly. ceaser: |

Still trying to get a hang of the lifepo4 battery. So which is preferable for an amateur, buying single cells & building a bank, or buying a ready made bank. 2ndly which is preferable, bank made up of say 48 units 3.2v x 100ah cells or 16 units 300ah cells. Is Rs 485 port critical, if yes Does the RS 485 only need to know the current and voltage of battery pack ?or it need to connect with inverter? Lastly, CATL and green power cells, which is preferable?. Basic research favours CATL, however i want firsthand reviews |

earthrealm: Two out of the three battery packs I have are made of CATL. I actually inquired from the guy that sold the pack to make sure he will be using that. Another good one is CALB. I've not really heard about Greenleaf before. 1 Like |

earthrealm: With 300AH, I doubt you'll ever run into a problem of having too much charging current flowing in @ 1C or ½C charge rate. CATL, CALB, SINOPOLY are all good, just remember each of them have grade A and B. The bad news is there is no way to physically identify which grade you have unless after you've gotten it and used it for quite some time- this video below may help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJlL-oX7oWM Another YouTuber did a test and surprisingly the B-grade battery performed better than the A-grade- China magic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sESdD4FqXDQ 1 Like |

My inverter trips when senses high load once an inductive load as low as 10w is started. The inverter is rated for 3000w. The product name is Power system. I start noticing this problem since i started using my washing machine on the inverter. Now any little load ,it will sense it as high low and trip. Sometimes the cooling fan won't cut out even after the load has been switched off. By design once there is a high load on the inverter, it will automatically starts the fan to cool and cut off the fan once the load is removed. But what is happening now is that the fan will remain and don't stop. Has any one experience such before so i can think of what to do to rectify it. My normal operational load on the inverter is below 15% load and maximum is around 20-25%. 1 Like |

Hello, Please i use a 1.5KVA/24V Solar Hybrid Luminous its working very well I intend to add 2 extra batteries. I know charge time will be longer for 4 batteries as against 2 batteries. Please can it Charge it well without any adverse effect on the inverter or batteries? 1 Like

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by issy1500: 11:41pm On Aug 31, 2020 |
quest4s: I have a similar set-up (1.6KVA - 24V) and I added 2 more batteries and it all cool.In my case my inverter has fast charging and power is relatively stable too at least 8-10hrs a day. I was scared that the Inverter might not be able to fully charge the 4 batteries optimally, so I bought a 50Amp smart charger to support the charging excercise. The 50Amp charger is just there without being put to use because the inverter does the charging perfectly for now. In my opinion, your inverter should charge the batteries if equiped with fast charging and you do have light for not less than 8-10 hours a day. Though the charging time required for the batteries to get fully charged will be a bit extended. 1 Like

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ceaser: 4:38am On Sep 01, 2020 |
funken: Yep. In Nigeria. Same guy that supplied Ojeysky. He assembles the packs. He has one year warranty on the packs and he guarantees that cells are grade A with serial numbers/codes that can be used to confirm. So far, the batteries have been doing well. The third pack was imported already assembled. The cells are not CATL. In fact I don't even know the names of the cells sef, but hey the battery has not disappointed going to 10 months. I believe they'll likely be top grade cells too. 1 Like |

iykmon: What was the load % when u used the washing machine on it? Hope you disable the water heating in the machine before it started washing? If that is done, I don't see any reason why the inverter shouldn't handle the machine. Unless it's true capacity is far less than what was written on it. |

Good morning all, please I need a software that I can install on my PC to monitor my solar energy with my CC. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ojeysky(m): 7:31am On Sep 01, 2020 |
earthrealm: A lot have been said already; an amateur should certainly certainly go for ready made, while DIY amateur like you and I can couple their cells. I suggest getting the bank from the person I got mine from, it's a good way of starting and learning the connection in a DIY way (the pack can be easily opened). I will suggest that the more fewer cells the better so if it's a single 300AH cells then go for 16 of those. The ANT BMS has a Bluetooth option for Comms. In terms of brand, well.....China is still the best source for bad and good cells as they are most experienced with lithium. Sinopoly, CATL(if you need a strong enclosure) are fine. Mine are Eve prismatic cells and they perform well. 2 Likes |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ojeysky(m): 7:44am On Sep 01, 2020 |
iykmon: This is because the washing machine has an Heater that comes on for a few minutes and that could be up to 2kw depending on your machine capacity, mine is about 1.75kw when I was using lead acid my inverter surely trips, the reason for this is that the surge makes the battery voltage to deep below the set cut off voltage on your inverter. A few options: 1. Reduce your cut off voltage to minimum when you want to use the washing machine and hopefully that will be sufficient 2. Adjust the washing machine not to have heating, normally if I set mine to 30degree the heater does not kick and all is well. 3. Considering upgrading to LFP ![]() |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ojeysky(m): 7:54am On Sep 01, 2020 |
issy1500: I think this is probably a marketing term, it's all about the max charge capacity of the inverter and the charge rate you are applying on your batteries. Someone posted a huge inverter in previous thread and the maximum charge it could do was 16A. Some inverters within the 2-5kva range can do up for 120A combined charging. My inverter does 80A but there is nothing about fast added to it's charging features so if your battery is not charging properly and you are sure it's not the battery giving up the ghost then you need to check your inverter charging capacity |

funken: It's been shared a couple of times 80 three 06 three 3202. They come with Daly BMS but I adviced him to start using manageable BMS so you can ask him specifically for the ones coupled with those kind of BMS, ofcourse expect a higher price quotation if you want that. |
