Newer model 5kva Ipowerpluses get up to 80A, whereas the older models do 60A I believe.

You may need to buy additional equipment for comms between the inverter and battery (add on cards or use ICC running on a Raspberry Pi)

You want to set charge and discharge parameters conservatively so you do not stress the battery.

Hello house, trust we are all doing great.

Does anyone here know the max charging current of the 5KVA, 48V ipowerplus inverter while charging from the mains ?

Also, does it have a dedicated lithium profile ?
I want to use it with a Pylontech UP5000 battery, is there anything I should be worried about ?

Thanks boss. I ordered from him a few days back and he delivered.

Good to know he still sticks with his reliability. I may be needing packs from him in the coming months.

Tasmota opens a world of possibility with these devices that one can only dream of with the proprietary firmware that came with them. But, it requires some efforts. I went to Tasmota because I wanted to have full local control. Tuya will first send your command to China before routing it back to your device and if there is no internet you may not be able to control your own switches. This was my initial experience, but I haven't touch Tuya or sonoff since 2018 so things might have changed in relation to local control.

The smart plugs, just like most IP cameras, also have option for "AP" connection which is all about connecting the device to your mobile phone directly thru Wi-Fi without going through an intermittent router.

What I'm however not sure of is if the Internet connection on your phone as opposed to the router doing it, will still send your data to China.

Having said that, I'm all for local control without one big brother somewhere spying on my moves, my likes, my choices and what not.

Savage! cheesy

I don't know where to place it - a compliment to China or a sarcasm to China.

Folks. Concerning the use of this for a 48v system, would it still be appropriate to go 3s, considering that the VoC per panel approaches 50v, making it around 150v.

Save the hybrid systems, most of the available MPPT CCs are capped at 150v max.

I have 4 sets of flabarely 1yr old i recently noticed a reduced load runtime ,bought a abttery balancer and noticed that i have a runaway battery, with voltages spiking to 15.6v during bulk charging and dropping to 10v on heavy usage.

Is there a way to stop the runaway voltage?... A device or method to theottle down the voltage to that particular battery??

Its the C battery, green graph, you can see it spiked before coming down to normal, i also confirmed with a dmm during bulk charging

I understand your points.

For the sake of our hard earned money committed to this project, we want something that will last for us.

I personally do not like to go for substandard products. I'll rather wait until I get the required fund instead of managing fake things, not even in a case like this which is very dangerous.

Please, let us encourage ourselves here to always go after original products to avoid story that touch.

This is faceless forum which we shouldn't be afraid of anyone by telling others substandard products being advertised here.

My brother hope you are not misinterpreting my massage?
95% panels are made in China. But China too get grades. Buy a known(name) panel, the ones u can get their footprint easily. Eg Trina, Canadian solar Ja-solar, Jinko, Yingli(my new found love, saipro, I hail o), luxen, just to mention a few. I mostly prefer poly for those, mono is very good, but I'll put my money on poly anytime any day(of course my opinion).

Hello DishTech,

I need your advice.

It seems the PWM SCC is overcharging my batteries.

Whereas the PWM voltage shows 14.2v, but the inverter shows the batteries are at 15.3v. This triggers the Inverter over-voltage shutoff.
The PWM has setting for 3 battery types
BO1 is for flooded battery
BO2 is for Lithium battery
BO3 is for GEL battery.

Note that the inverter has not displayed the correct voltage.

Is there anything I can do while waiting for the arrival of the PowMr MPPT

I have placed order for PowMr 60a

Try the BO3,
If it fails and still reads 15.3V
The SCC is gone
You might need to buy a mini one to compensate for the main time

Personally in our design, we mostly consider MPPT range, since most low PV input charge controllers do not consider start-up voltage as most high PV input of hybrid inverter and grid-tie inverters, anything that sits within the MPPT range is fine.

We have had felicity charge controllers a clone of MPP controllers show error of high voltage on very sunny days because a 3s is used but will never or hardly happen when 2S is used on them

Since each installation comes with a unique solution, their is no rule of thumb that apply to all.

This is true for Felicity mppt, infact I did some pv series connection that totalled about 125v, still got the high voltage error.
So, 100v - 110v is the safest from my experience.

Installation indeed comes with a unique solution.

I paralleled them with 2nos 150W panels connected to the SCC.

The aforementioned should suit the battery
The lithium profile of BO2 is meant for 3.7V x3s of ... Those 18650 type of cell.

And since 3.2-3.6V is LiFePO4 range ... A gel profile fits into it

ok. note it is PURE AC / DC. it can be plugged to light directly. they dont need ac adapter. it comes with remote and regulator. energy efficient and very low power consumption.
