Between Fangpusun mppt 100/30 and epever 3210A which do you think is better. Thanks zeestone99: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Penuelseun(m): 7:47pm On Jun 04, 2017 |
It seems grid tie inverters are better & more efficient than battery based ones due to the what I read here, my question is that can I use it as off grid coz I am somehow confused or can it be used only in the presence of the national grid? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by DMerciful(m): 7:52pm On Jun 04, 2017 |
They are both okay interms of performance though i have only used the Epever 3210A(my first mppt cc). The edge epver has is the internal display as you'll need to get external display for the fangpusun as it doesnt come with display. I have the 100/50 with display dejidotun2000: 2 Likes |

For the application you intended and your location, it is not. Grid tie works best with the grid, if you want to use it for offgrid system, the cost far outweighs the marginal efficiency you may have so that it becomes a costly solution and you'll still need backup batteries!. You do not want to solve a problem with a cost far higher than the problem unless u're doing it for research purposes. Those advocating gridtie in Nigeria should show us a practical installation, the cost of execution and the power gained vis-a-vis the offgrid system with batteries n cc. we are here to learn Penuelseun: |

Bro, what happens to ur office loads being powered by a gridtie inverter that is not connected to the national grid and it starts raining or there is brief cloud cover? the office shutsdown? Put on generator?(forbiden in this forum ), the micro inverter on each panel, what is their cost vs the added power gain? jazzman2: 1 Like |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by jazzman2(m): 10:12pm On Jun 04, 2017 |
DMerciful: Sir, This type of systems usually have a battery backup option. That will take care of the scenario you described above. In addition, ac-coupled systems are not only restricted to the use of micro-inverters. PV can be wired in strings to a standalone grid-tie inverter via a combiner box. The standalone grid-tie inverter (sometimes called a String or central inverter) can then be ac-coupled to a battery based parallel inverter hooked-up to a battery bank. However, PV shading and orientation poses significant issues with the string inverter. The problem of shading and PV orientation is almost completely eliminated with microinverters on each panel. MPPT is done on the panel-level and added power gains are as high as 30% as compared to string inverters that executes MPPT on full array-level. Cost is not always the most important economic parameter for evaluating solar systems.

Thanks. You typed "Tracer 3215RN vs Fangpusun 30/100", was that a typo or does Tracer 3215RN have the exact same features as 3210A. bigrovar: |

bigrovar: I love what you are doing with the blog, full of knowledge with well detailed​ explanation and recommendation but I have a problem which is that I can't seem to comment or post anything there as the verification email for the disqus is not coming forth. Please kindly advise on what to do to rectify this. Thanks |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bigrovar(m): 7:47am On Jun 05, 2017 |
Ferdiwar:Thanks for the observation. I have been a blogger for over 10 years. I blog mostly about technology especially with relation to open source and open culture. I took a break for about 3-4 years ago when I went on hiatus. Although I was planning to break the blogging hiatus and make a come back. The punishment NL content providers unfairly get from it's managers moved my hands. I will put things in order and do some proper house cleaning. 1 Like |

Today marks 12 months since I embarked on RE journey and 10 months living off-grid. It's been a rewarding experience to say the least, even though much improvement is required. Hence, I give profound gratitude to the Eternal Source of Light that gave us the sun to give warmth and light. And more blessing to all who ask questions and those who lovingly respond for the progress of everyone on this forum. 3 Likes

GeorgeD1: being a non-Fan heat-cooling CC, now I believe tristar is a good product. just imagine! 60.5A when some CC will advice you to limit your current 55A. I wish I had one! |

purplekayc: There is no way an home theater or sound surrounds can consume 850w and 1000w respectively. You are confusing sound watts with electricity watts. Get a watt meter for proper testing 4 Likes |
