@ceaser and @ojeysky
I am so grateful for your response, you guys are magnanimous in your review and response.
the issue there is I don't know how to test the waveform of the inverter to know if it's psw or msw as it powers all gadgets in the house (from washing machine to fan wherever it's needed)

There is a gadget that you can use to test it. It displays the waveform of the inverter on a graphical interphase. But it's expensive

Another way to guess the type is to note the output characteristics when plugged to your gadgets. Use an AC standing fan to test it. If when the fan powers on, you hear a humming sound alongside being produced by the fan, then it's likely to be a MSW. The fan should blow quietly at low speeds with a pure wave. The humming sound is produced because the square wave is not clean wave like NEPA is.

Your washing machine will likely also make that hum but you're not likely to easily differentiate it or hear it above the natural noise produced by the washing machine motor itself.

Another way is that some sound systems also produce same humming sound thru their speakers when powered by the MSW.

bbally:

am considering buying either of the attached inverter picture when am buoyant. I hope either of them is good as psw and charging capability?

I think the second one should be your target. Few or no guys here have come out to say they use Souer hybrid. But I think Yohako has some users here.

thank you Sir and God bless for the prompt response. I will look out for the yohako inverter and look for more reviews on it.
thanks once again

correction: the inverter is SOUER 12V 1500VA pure sine wave inverter. it is not hybrid . it has high surge capacity. it is fitted with a toroidal transformer with just 11w no load consumption, it has 7 battery type settings with a 20A fast charger. also few people from this forum has bought it and are using it.

@bbally.

Here is a superior review probably from an experienced user. Seems the souer may come across as relevant afterall.

But the Yohako in that picture is hybrid unlike the Souer which is not. So you have considerations to make.

Good day Adrusa, kindly share how you did this. Thanks

adrusa:


I also have a Felicity CC in action and I'm okay with it. The only problem is that it doesn't show daily harvest. I have gone round that with a data cable and a system that calculate the daily harvest from instant power. So, nothing do Felicity CC.

So the continuous power supply is 1500VA. What's the peak/Surge power of this inverter. How fast is the change-over between the inverter and main? What is the price?

Good day Adrusa, kindly share how you did this. Thanks


I don't know what your setup is like. It may be difficult starting from scratch, but for me, it was easy because I already had all the ingredients; a raspberry pi running Raspberry OS, the necessary cable and home assistant with utility integration helping me to sum up the daily harvest. You can also use emoncms or pvoutput if that is your thing.

I started with this code on GitHub. https://github.com/solarsnoop/PCM60X-Monitor. I then stripped it down to remove the http part. So, I ended up with a json array which I feed into nodered which then splits them up and gives me what I need. You can use MQTT if that works for you. I then feed the power into Home Assistant which does the daily summation.

Some people may suggest that you should just get a CC that does the summation without going through the trouble, but that won't necessarily work for me because I will still need to get the figure out of the CC and feed it into my system. I don't have to go the CC to see what I generated at any instant.

I can share my codes with you if you have a similar setup. No need to reinvent the wheel. FCC stands for Felicity Charge Controller

I checked online and at less than $100 per Cell (actual cost is $97 each), adding about $200 for Shipping and Clearing, it still breaks down to about $102 ( #56,100, @#550 to $1), landing cost Per Cell.

Factoring the 'wait time' for Shipping and Profit for the Seller, will it be appropriate to expect around 20% - 30% Profit margin which approximates to about #73,000.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by alstacs(m): 2:49am On Feb 09, 2022
adolphus08:
Good morning nairalanders, I am forced to post because of an inverter installation that will not allow me move forward to see if anyone can proffer a solution.
Around end of October last year I proposed and installed a Zinox Ipower 5KvA Transformer series for a client.
Right from the first day after connecting the batteries it didn't work, instead a fault light came on.
I called the Zinox people and they said I should bring it to their service center. Which we did. It took almost two months of going back and forth to get a replacement.
I even insisted on using one of their installers to do it so they will not say my installation was faulty.
They installed it toward the end of December.
They used circuit breakers for the battery connection and phcn connection .
A day after the installation one of the circuit breakers( the one connected to batteries) tripped off they switched it back on.
Just Just last Sunday at 9pm, the clients wife called to say the same circuit breaker suddenly got burnt. I asked them to buy another one to replace it the next day.
This they did only to find out that the inverter has packed up once again.
I called them and as usual they said I should bring it to their office.
Which the client said he won't do till the installer comes to drop the inverter.

Guys, this client had a genus 3KvA inverter which I installed for him three years back, which we didn't even use any of those safety gadgets for and I never received a single call for support from them.
The same 3kva genus inverter was removed and has been working in another location since November last year with no problems reported.

Ever since I replaced it with the Zinox 5KvA Ipower inverter it has been one problem after the other even with all the safety gadgets in place.

The client who paid for this inverter 3 months ago hasn't even enjoyed it for up to a month.
I have even lost all the profit I made on it. But my main concern is not to lose my reputation and the clients trust.

I have used other Ipower products in the past without issues and so I wonder why their transformer series which should be more rugged is now a stumbling block.

I would please like if someone who has used or is familiar with that kind of inverter can tell me his experience and what he did to resolve it.
Thanks and over to you nairalanders

Wish I had seen this review when I was looking for a quick replacement for my thunderstruck Thundervolt hybrid inverter.
Just 3 months my Ipower just tripped off, the circuit breaker between the inverter and the batteries kept tripping off.
I'm dropping the inverter for them this morning.
Any advice on any other hybrid replacement in the same price range for 3 to 5kva, preferable 48V?

Dear Sir,

Shipping terms for Lithium batteries have changed a lot since you may have last checked.

Now shippers can only load a container about 1/3rd full once it contains Lithium batteries and therefore rates skyrocketed.

Please reach out to me directly to close a deal.
