My Dc celling fan has been failing but it stopped working completely yesterday and during my testing I discovered it's the driver board that's faulty. Pls who know where I can get the board below

stanvesco:


Go to AliExpress. Use the picture to search for a.product.

Thank me later

viperVIP:
DON'T BUY GROWATT SPF 5000 ES WITHOUT READING THIS.

coldcandy:
I am just wondering why one would put the inverter in OFF position.
Is it not supposed to be ON to work?

viperVIP:
GROWATT PALAVA, EPISODE 2

.

Justice629:

I experienced same issue when I newly installed the inverter 2yrs ago, pv wouldn't power the loads without batteries or grid connected, nor power on the inverter when it's off due to LVD.

Imagine what will happen to those fully off-grid without generator when this happens.


I conclude it was a Chinese dubious advertising of over stating features while under delivery.

Besides that issue the inverter has served me reliably for 2yrs now running 24/7 without issue.

Imported 3 more to install in my office and now hoping the pv batteryless features will be functional😁 now that I know better.

viperVIP:
NO, it does not need to be ON for the pv to charge.
it only needs to be ON for the inverter to produce output power.

isangjohnson:
3kva 24v prag hybrid inverter
3kva 24v must hybrid inverter
3kva 24v iPower plus hybrid inverter.
Please which of these three are more reliable and compatible with lifepo4 battery.

I was actually looking for 3kw and not 3kva. Recommendations for another good brand is needed. Felicity is out of the picture.

I may need up to three units.

Dam5reey:


Why do they need to turn off Inverter, why not the AC out breaker?
Is it to save battery or what?

jonescosmos:
Hello fellas, longest time.
Who remembers this my inverter room?
Well, this is what it looks like right now.

2x 8KW Deye Hybrid Inverters EU-Version.
4x 15KW Felicity LPBF48300 Battery Packs.
24x 600W Canadian Solar Panels.
10x 540W Felicity Solar Panels.
Plenty Automations.
ETC.

tsiriman:


I've also been wondering why inverter needs to be switched off

luvablesam:
I need some advice:

So I have a 40AH LIthium battery, a 150watt panel and a 30A PWM charge controller.

Is it safe to charge the battery with the panel and chargevcontroller permanently?

viperVIP:
@Justice629 I'm glad you could confirm that as well.
@coldcandy would you just leave an inverter in on position for 12hours when nobody needs power from it, I mean for no good reason, you just want to waste idle energy for 12hours ?
@Dam5reey Ofcourse to save energy, who goes green with the aim of wasting energy? If you switch off the output breaker, you have idle energy consumption wasting away, which isn't a smart thing to do.

Penuelseun:
it means the maximum voltage your inverter cc can accept is 25v, so you are stuck with 180w or 200w solar panels whose VOC is not more than 22v. Better to buy 4pcs 150w or 180w and connect all in parallel or get an external CC

Dam5reey:

Drgreatone:

If i still want to get 2 300w panel, what minimum pwm wattage would suffice?

Penuelseun:
better you get an mppt controller as almost all 300w panels have a VOC of 36v, pwm controllers will work but you will only be using about half of the capacity of the solar panels. You are better off getting 150w or 180w panels if you still want to go ahead with the pwm controller

TechGeek777:


100% safe, the 30A CC can accept minimum 360w and perhaps 420w max for 12v.

If you have the means, add another 150w panel and parallel both of them to charge your battery faster.

I will also advise you post the VOC of both the CC and panel.

luvablesam:


What's VOC? I don't understand. I am a novice

FEGEITOK:


Disclaimer: I don't use Growatt.

But even if I turn off my inverter, it will power devices if it is connected to AC charging.

Since I am not using the inbuilt solar charge controller, I cannot speak for that one.

One thing I do know is that if AEDC seizes power when the inverter is switched off then every connected device will also power down, but if power is restored, even if the inverter is switched off, the devices will have power restored.

hello, everyone. pls pardon my ignorance about this solar thing. I am a freelancer who works from home but the subsidy removal is really dealing with me. I have a budget of 100-120k to invest in getting an alternative source of energy. I just need something that can power 2 laptops, 4 power banks and charge phones for at least 6 hours a day. I would appreciate any recommendations. Thank you!
