makavele: Ose jari .. End user raw attestation ! Nothing exceptionally special , its like normal bypass mode(2 way switch) which most installations comes with in scenarios where clients small Gen can't power big inverter charging system. You can also reduce the charging variable to minimum"less than 15a" for those monitoring prepaid meter bills , some don't even have prepaid meters in their respective area yet ..keep us posted if you need anything as usual Sir !!

Hello, everyone i recently discovered this forum and have being quite happy with it, especially the fact that am discovering and learning newer things too. BTW i want to use this opportunity to say to everyone that i dont mind working for another here especially one looking to expand there employee base and to employ a young chap. with various solar experience and electrical background.

[quote author=bigrovar post=69612387]Decided its time to let go of this my trusted inverter. It was sent to be bench because I decided to go the transformerless inverter route and got the ipower plus. I decided to keep the latter mostly because of its communication capabilities. This inverter has been in the box for a while but I have to kill sentiment and let it go. You can read up on my review of the inverter here http://bobby.com.ng/2017/06/28/felicity-inverter-a-short-review/ Price is 95k Specs 3.5kva 24v Max charge amp 35A Selectable charge profile (for volts and amps) Ability to disable charging. /quote] |

I use a 1.5kva 24v safe power inverter, I've wondering what the idle load is...anyone knows? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by hancock(m): 10:05am On Jul 25, 2018 |
makavele: Hi Makavele I think you have painted two different scenarios One inverter is discharging the battery even when there is grid/gen power while the other one is NOT DISCHARGING the battery when there is grid/gen power. Don’t see how that is “almooost” the same thing abi? 4 Likes |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by makavele: 10:30am On Jul 25, 2018 |
hancock: We arent talking about discharge so we dont care, we are talking about disabling charging thats why i said one is more direct and one is indirect but the same aim is achieved, i rather choose the must version because its the best definition of being offgrid 1 Like |

Danke schon! Imagine a 5kWH battery bank fully charged and you have mains available for 5 hours then mains withdrawn after 5 hours. With the Felicity attached to the battery bank and charging disabled, if you run a 500w load for those 5 hours and then mains fails, there will be no impact on your battery as they will still be fully charged since the Felicity will power loads directly from mains and not drain the battery at all. With the VilPowerStar attached to the battery bank in Solar Priority mode, and you run thesame load for 5 hours your battery would be discharged ~50% - if mains fails after 5 hours you would be left with a deeply discharged bank and in need of a power source to charge so the batteries don't suffer damage if depleted too low The two scenarios above show a significant difference between disabling charging and using the line/mains directly with the Felicity vs. running in Solar Priority mode with the VilPower. There is a battery type selection setting #9 on the VilPower which may behave similar to the Felicity but I have not yet tried or tested it - luckily I have both the Felicity and VilPower in my house but the Felicity clearly wins this round with the elegance of its features. hancock: 4 Likes |

NiyiOmoIyunade: Brother, My thoughts exactly Why would I want to discharge my battery when the inverter is also connected to mains and there is power? Perhaps if you are on prepaid metering and want to be cautious of bills then I can understand how it can come handy 1 Like |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by zeestone99(m): 11:33am On Jul 25, 2018 |
The solar priority is a no go area for me, cos it cuts off mains completely, therefore no bypass. My ogas at the top, you guys jst left epistles more than the story of nigeria for me to read... Issorite |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by makavele: 12:45pm On Jul 25, 2018 |
NiyiOmoIyunade: Too much English does no one any good. They serve different purpose albeit to the same effect. What if there were no mains, and you are truly offgrid? VILPowerstar gives you the true definition of being offgrid . . even if mains comes in, it will ignore it. It will only resort to using mains, as the last resort when batteries are too low, and the sun is not yet up. If your DOD is calculated well, the batteries will not discharge to even 50% before the sun comes up the next day and the cycle restarts. That's the true definition of being offgrid. Felicity will allow the mains to pass through, and that is not a definition of being offgrid. because whatever load you are running, will be accumulated to your power bill. So you want to go fully offgrid, powerstar you want to still use mains once in a while, felicity. End of discussion cc: kiekie1 4 Likes |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by NiyiOmoIyunade(m): 1:27pm On Jul 25, 2018 |
If there were no mains (Utility or Gen) and one were truly offgrid, there would be no need to set solar priority on the VilPower or fiddle with disabling charging on the Felicity On a lighter note, if you buy the HA02 balancer from me, I will reverse myself and declare VilPower the winner for this round . For you my Oga Makavele, I will give a special price and even personally hand deliver to your Lekki residence - that is if you have not already setup with extra cables to loop your batteries like KieKie suggested. makavele: 1 Like |

earthrealm: No hands-on experience here, as yet, but I think I've followed a hands-on user of the unit well enough to be able to provide some informed view of my own, as follows: It depends... - First, let's remember that, "Batteryless operation" does not connote the unit cannot be used with batteries; it can, and normally too. So: - If there's complete cloud cover such that the voltage from the PV array is not at least 1 volt (say) above the set system voltage, AND neither grid power nor sufficient battery backup voltage is present, then the CC part of the inverter won't be able to manufacture power, and the inverter gracefully shuts down. - If there's complete cloud cover such that the voltage from the PV array is not at least 1 volt (say) above the set system voltage, AND there's no battery power connected BUT there's grid power, the system simply switches to grid power, as with a battery-based grid-tie system, (just to run loads, but without the feature to push any surplus power back into the public grid whatsoever.) - In all other conditions, the unit will operate as per the power supply priority set with a usual battery-based grid-tie Inverter-cum-CC combo. (Again, just to run loads, but without the feature to inject any surplus power back into the grid whatsoever.) -------- BTW, people, I'm noticing the feature of the subject batteryless-operation inverters to take power directly from the PV array, without the power first having to get stored in attached batteries. That, I believe, helps stave off some potential power losses in the system. I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable to be able to say such a feature is not already present on some other off-grid/battery-based grid-tie inverters, but I'm liking the feature very much. ........

Janyves: thanks for your response sorry for my very late response...not been on NL for a long while for reasons beyond my control this is july ending and the prag is still as useless as ever. the batteries have literally packed up less than 6 months in...they actually packed up in may arnd ghe time i made my initial post..now they drop from 25v to 20.3v in 2 mins and go off arnd 15 mins after been on 20.2v my installer who happens to be the junior bro of a good colleague in my former office scammed me, he's a fraudster. till today he hasn't even given me any receipt. after all said and done, am convinced those batteries and maybe the inverter itself is refurbished or fake outright this a guy who charged me N710000 and got paid in full, later he'll say he's not prospering..his name is john..no is 07069331631..has a page on jiji that he uses to perpetrate his fraud: https://kintrojohnservices dot jiji dot ng this guy had the effontry to say i should never call him again to complain about a 710k installation that failed after barely 3 mknths just because he's been paid in full people are heartless but i will deal with this one once i have some free time..he'll refund my money in full Lastly everyone stay away from Prag and gdm batteries.....its a useless brand..10001% useless this is my setup attached 1 Like
