Any update on users' experience or feedback? do you still have for sale at what cost? my interest is the 5.5kw model

dollarnaira:


She was right with:

check for any loose ends or soldering

What u are having is just partial contact.
As for me I just fix it. I doubt if u will get a refund bc it is just a dot of soldering. What if she request u return the item at ur own cost and she eventually fix it and return back to you....bla bla bla

odimbannamdi:


Oga Dollar, we spoke on whatsapp last night and I share the video of the item with you (it is an inverter, by the way)

First of all, you will agree with me that a new inverter that you pay a premium for should work out of the box. You shouldn't be "repairing" a new device

Secondly, the seller telling me to open the inverter and check for this or that is a trick. It will void the warranty and the dispute resolution team will hardly listen to me if I apply for refund after opening it.

Finally, I asked you on whatsapp that, what if I open it and it is beyond just a soldering, but u kept saying you are 1000% sure it is just soldering. I wonder how you can be so sure when you are yet to see the inside of the inverter...

I already made up my mind to apply for a refund. Thanks bro

dollarnaira:


Thank u for being ignorant sir.
Your last line is not needed.

You weren't qouted sir.

By the way check this:

You see learn to listen more than speaking,
It would do you more good.

The problem here is that he has to push and hold a switch down before it comes ON
Meaning the switch latching mechanism to hold a CLOSE position is faulty, that's a mechanical issue nota electrical/soldering issue.
There's no amount of solder that would solve that issue,

Clearly the person he is talking to doesn't know anything and hasn't contacted their tech team,
I see this more as a trap to void warranty.

I get you are also trying to help,
But you need to calm down so you don't fall into a trap.
This brother here is trying to avoid the trap, and you are putting him in the trap.

This is not an issue of loose/cold solder point,
Learn to listen more than speak especially in cases you have zero knowledge off.

Edit:
The fun part of these all is that the push button attaches to the panel board via a clip, so if it's bad push button, it's an issue of replacement not soldering.

The concern here is not this, the concern is that their QC didn't detect this issue before shipping,
That means there could be possible more issues.

There is one thing I don't like here, saying someone have zero knowledge. Saying one is ignorant when u don't know me or see my work.

He requested for an advice and u are saying am trying to put him into a trap. Is he a dullard? Advice is meant to be rejected or accepted.

Make ur point without insulting or assuming things.

It looks like the man either has an existing grouse with you or he is simply normally cantankerous. Ignore him.

odimbannamdi:
Has anybody ever applied for a refund on Alibaba and succeeded?

I bought 2 items from a seller. Because of the payment constraints on our cards, she had to split the amount across 7 invoices,

You need to press down the surrounding of the switch button before it comes on, and it goes off when you remove your hand.

She was suggesting that i open the item and check for any loose ends or soldering, but i am having none of it as this should be a working item, plus who will pay for the repairs and what if it is even unrepairable?

On those basis, i am applying for a refund on 4 of the invoices (which will then be more than the price of one unit by about 5usd). I understand that this could a dicey issue and i need to be careful with my words and evidences i present so the case doesnt go against me.

mctfopt:


Every battery (both lithium and lead acid type) will explode when overcharged. By the way, lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePo4) is not prone to explosion. In my early days, I once have overcharged it several times without it exploding. Just that such behaviour is a sure fire way of drastically reducing the life span of the battery.

felaliveson:


Thanks … Is there difference between lithium cells and LiFePo4 cells

sethtsadopp:


That's interesting. I like that. If I end up having excess generation, I'm thinking of channeling it into Crypto mining. I'm sure madam wouldn't mind something like cold drinks and stuff too.

What's the total size of your bank and array.

I think you should check the settings on your inverter. Most of these inverter are very sensitive to generator input because their (gen) output is not too pure sine wave. So check the setting. Some have utl, or gen if not it will not charge with. I saw someone post that sorotec work!! They are all copy of voltronic inverter or check your generator output
Recently installed a 5.5kwh Smk hybrid on and off grid inverter system coupled with 4 units of 12v 200ah blue carbon lithium ion lifepo4 batteries and 8 450watts mono solar panels. Everything seems fine, but the only downside is that my 9kva firman 12990esr generator can’t seem to charge it. So far only the solar and Nepa light have been able to charge it. But with the raining season on full mode and epileptic power supply, I really need the generator option. My installer said my generator frequency isn’t enough, this is a generator that comfortably powers my 3hp inverter standing AC and 1.5hp inverter AC. What can I do pls? So far from the inverter screen, my gen produces btw 275 -285v and btw 48 - 50.5hz. Shouldn’t this be enough to charge the battery?

durodee:
hello if they are available for sale we buy broken panel. All finger are not equal. Send dm to email. Good evening house. Is there a way to repair broken panels? There is a project ongoing somewhere and I noticed as the panels were being offloaded that some panels had broken glasses. Is there any way the could still be useful? They are 450w panels and quite a number of them.
I am wondering if one can cover with new glass and seal the edges to prevent egress of water if that will work?
Just thinking ........

bigrovar:
Aircom water is not good for Tubular battery. Best to buy from reputable seller or tubular seller as they buy from source

I would even say it is your best source of distilled water. Most distilled water sold in Nigeria (even in major malls and super markets) are adulterated. Try get from an AC with relatively clean hose and use a white cloth (I use a dedicated clean cotton signet for it) to filter it into a jar and you have your distilled water. It served me for over 3 years.

A recent review above@solareclips

omimisolar:
Gennex inverter are original voltronic inverter than Growatt , sorotec. On what ground is that recommendation? They all have their teething issues.

ceaser:


You may both be right with your guesses. From my experience with the kind of inverter odimbannamdi sells, the switch is usually hooked to the metal housing of the inverter rather than to the board. Two wires then go to the board via a JST plug. So the problem may be at a point of soldering of one of the polarity wires, it can also be the metal parts inside the switch. To repair it or apply for refund depends on the op.

And @dollarnaira had reservations about your approach especially addressing him. I believe you may have responded to the post with your own suggestion without even referring to @dollarnaira at all, that is if you don't approve of his own response. There is no way someone with ample knowledge of solar on this forum will be ignorant/have zero knowledge like you maintained.

@ odimbannamdi, is the inverter 24v with ample capacity to handle a deep freezer, I might just pick it up. I may not be needing the metal case for the application intended for which means I will eventually cut open the stuff and bring out the organs to DIY an all-in-one hybrid system for a remote site.

omimisolar:
how do buyer test it that it’s working fine

aadewoyin how? The load side ?can you show picture ?post=8873622:
Actually , we just connected those camera directly to the charge controller, because all the IP Cameras and AP are 12volts input,

1 unit IP Speed Dome: 12v 3Amps
2 units Outdoor IR: 12v 2Amps
1 unit AP : 12V 1Amp

Our 100AH battery there, can power them for 2days, but we never let it drain,

@George_D Would you mind tell me how many hours is Sunlight in Nigeria, Lagos and Ibadan,
I have a IP surveillance setup there this coming September

Thanks sir,

dammodee911:
please ask your installer check the settings of the inverter. Though these hybrid are sensitive to gen input setting can also cause it. If you know how what is the inverter setting now?

FireTheSun:
your example in this is not correct. Canadian solar re not the only quality panels in the market. Jinko, ERA,Traina,JA etc all work well. Installation have so many factor for it work properly. You can only compare them to Chinese low grade type. If you buy Canadian solar and put it at the wrong side of the roof it will not perform magic. Cost is also related to when those product came in ie dollar rate.

I am not sure of how to respond to this, because l am not an expert on the subject but like you, l asked the same question when l wanted to begin my own RE journey. Let me recount, in details.

The explanation a trusted Senior Bros gave me was: if you are asked to go to a Car Dealership and pick any of two Vehicles on Sale, a Mercedes Benz or a Hyundai, which one will you pick?
I did not ley him finish before l responded: Benz-er!
He said why would l pick a Benz and not a Hyundai afteral, both of them can take me home or take me anywhere l want to go, both uses fuel and four Tires, he went on and on about their similarities.

I jumped-in and said well, Benz costs more than a Hyundai!
He countered again and said: Even that should not be so, afteral, they are both Cars and do the same thing: take occupants from Point A to B.

Being someone who had used a Mercedes Benz 230E V-Boot in the late 90's, l countered back by saying, try to negotiate a bend at very high speed and you will see how the Wheels of a Bens will not just turn (like all other cars do) but also bend sideways, to give you added stability by lowering its centre of gravity (while other Cars will likely summersault as a result), not to mention the internal comforts and German Engineering ruggedness! Motor that just refuse to stop working.

He then told me: The Canadian Solar is like your Mercedes Benz, while the Jinkos and Yinkos are the Hyundai of this world!.
Benz might be costlier but you get what you pay for!
He added: I work hard for money so l wont just throw it away, if there is no additional value to the extra cost.
He has been using his Canadian Solar ever since, long before l bought mine.
This story always remind me that "Cheaper" is not always Better but it will do, if availability of funds are a major issue".
