@dejavus, am interested in that hybrid inverter u posted...whats the price and specs?
ipowerplus seems to b the cheapest hybrid inverter avasilable in nigeria, the other makes are much more expensive...defeating the the cost saving of going hybrid..

also zinox the marketers of ipowerplus appear unserious, cos even on thier website, the option to buy the product isnt there.

3rdly @ house...am looking for an offgrid inverter (without charging capability - this is to save cost),,,,1.5kva or 2kva 24v or 36v... who can hook me up with such?

Gennextech:
ok sir please send me your email address

idsolar:
@kiekie. pls explain further on the solar inverter u posted. is it mustpower product? various capacity & price. how rugged are they? nagode

Will a 12volt 1.5KVA inverter be able to charge a 4x12 volt battery bank

Picture below

Note- I will be using point 2 and 7 as charging point

Im2Busy2Bother:



Your connection shows a 24V system not 12V.


You did not mention the charging current of the inverter.


Any inverter can charge any numbers of batteries, the big question is time it'll take to fully charge.



The smaller the charging current, the longer it'll take to fully charge the batteries

You are very right. It's 24 volt

Thanks for the support. Actually I intend using 8 12v batteries and hope to get external charger later

Im2Busy2Bother:



Ok. Luminous 1.5kva 24v has maximum charge current of 15A

Connecting the 8 nos of 12V 150Ah batteries connected in parallel will allow you to quadruple the capacity, producing 24V with 600Ah out the end


Calculating the battery charge time using

Charging Time of battery = Battery Ah / Charging Current

T = Ah / A

Time = 600/ 15A
= 40 hours (almost 2 days )

This 40 hours is more of theoretical calculation as it could be less based on the battery's state of charge (SOC).

So you really need an external charger to charge this big bank of batteries faster.

dejavus:
Hi All, many thanks for all the wonderful information being shared on here.

I am curious though about people buy separate inverter and mppt charge controller when there are Hydrib inverters that does the same job now with probably less or the same amount of both combined, is there any specific reasons for this?

example below:

Thanks for the support. Actually I intend using 8 12v batteries and hope to get a external charger later. It's a luminous brand and not familiar with the charge current.

see if u are able to get 600ah bank pls i advise u go extra and change ur inverter to one that can gv u not less than 30ah charge. contact @kiekie. i blv his 2kw 24v can handle this. my take

Hello, am still expecting the spec sheet for your 10kw hybrid inverter. Also include the spec sheets for your 5kw model too. My email is: eexege@gmail.com.

Thanks

The separate charge controller and inverter might allow you to have higher rating on either charge controller or inverter than possible in hybrid say 60 amp charge controller but 8 kw inverter . Also they are likely to be more durable individually due to long history of development and heat dissipation

personally I prefer the Hybrid as they are invariably smarter with PC monitoring , generator start control , software settings etc. .Also Most of them can be stacked or paralleled so you can increase your rating both on load side and connect different solar strings ( makes , watts) to the same battery


Personally I am using two hybrid inverters powering two circuits one inverter runs 1000 watt powering only electronics and sensitive application ( runs like giant UPS) and takes the battery and solar inputs but never charges battery or is NOT connected to generator input. The other inverter runs on 1200 Watt solar but runs my waterpump .and two AC's plus non sensitive loads like compound lighting . This inverter is in appliance mode shifting to grid or generator whenever available and simultaneously charging batteries.
Both are connected to the same battery bank . so One inverter is essentially supplying the DC power through the battery bank whenever the grid or generator is running

without smart hybrid inverter such setup is impossible . Thsi allowed me to get rid of all the small UPS in the house essentially saving 200-300 watt load

Will these connection work for Eight 12v 200AH batteries? I an connecting to a 24volt inverter?

Thanks in advance

If it's true that the charging current is 15A, it means each battery will receive 3.75A which is too low a charging current. I bet you your battery is going to spoil soonest. For you envisaged setup, you need a 40A to 60A charger for optimum operation and longevity of your battery(before you change to new ones)
