Good morning fam.
Pls I need help from the experts in the house. Few months ago, my inverter (1.2kva) got damaged by thunder. We called the installer and he said the company doesn't have the board available as at then that we should buy sachet inverter pending when they'll have it. But we decided rather than buying a sachet inverter that we shud fix it elsewhere. But ever since we got this new board it has never worked well, if we put on the TV, it'll say overload, we can't do fan and TV concurrently, it'll be screaming overload. We have returned this inverter more than 3times for the guy to fix the issue yet nothing. This last time is even worst, we can't put on ordinary light, it's not powering anything at all. And now Alaba has closed till next year. Pls any idea what we can do because it's really frustrating me

Try another repair centre or go to Arena and get the inverter fixed. The guy you keep returning it to may actually not be doing anything to it or simply incapable of fixing this issue.

It is not a bad idea to have a satchet inverter, at least as a backup, while you work on fixing your main inverter. In this solar-inverter journey, you need to have extra of all the components that makes up your system because you don't want to get stranded in the middle of the night when a component fails.

Bros, you sure say dem no go move these your panels one day?

Good day everyone, please i need help from experts...

What are the options available (or the best way) for earthing an SPD located between the solar panels and the CC in a house with an existing earthing system.

dollarnaira:

Pls how did you mount the panels to the fence?

Connect all SPD(AC & DC) to d earth bus bar. Connect bus bar to Ur 8ft earth rod

Connect all SPD(AC & DC) to d earth bus bar. Connect bus bar to Ur 8ft earth rod

Thanks, the existing earth rod is about 6ft I think, will that still work?

Also, some are of the opinion of having a separate earthing (bus bar + earth rod) for the DC SPD. What's your take on that ?

He used a mismatched mosfet but working though. It will never perform well unless the exact number on the mosfet is used. There are mosfets that can be used interchangeably in other electronics devices but the practice seems not to work with inverters.

Ow long have u had this? What did u use to hold it to the fence as that wud make it easier/hard to steal?

Can anyone recommend a good mppt controller that wont dig a hole in the pocket? The powmr seems scarce of recent. Is must/sunfield a good option or there are better alternatives? Budget is around 70k for a 45-60amp spec. Thanks 🙏

Same thought I had.

I just imagined installing mine on the fence and coming home from work to an empty hanger one day, it will be premium tears 😭😭😭.

Thanks, I already did but he said till next month

If ure using earth rod alone, d standard is 8ft. For the busbar, it's best in situations where u AV multiple earth cables to channel into Ur earth rod, eg my inverter AC input has earth port, This is connected to d bus bar, I use AC SPD for my AC output, thats connected to d busbar, DC SPD for my DC Input too is connected, most DB come with earth busbar. Single 8ft is expensive, I'll advice u get 2 4ft with d joiner. It's 4.5k each, joiner 1k

ok bro, thanks a lot. I'll try Arena

thanks bro but I heard sachet inverters can't be used with battery, only solar, though I haven't browsed about it because I wasn't really interested

I guess this is what's happening here... Thanks bro, I'll look into this

bbeckky:

They are actually just connected to the battery to provide AC current. They do not charge so u need an external charger which cud either be via solar or AC

bbeckky:

That's a gross misconception, bro. Just as Drgreatone said, it only inverts, and it doesn't come with a charging function most times. But that is not a disadvantage as you can easily get an external charger that even charges your battery optimally compared to in-built charging function of most inverters. If your battery is hooked up to solar, you will even be fine.

Meanwhile, satchet inverters have the advantage of being very energy efficient. They consume less power to invert, so you will get more backup time from your batteries, compared to normal inverters.

I laughed and rolled on the floor with this. .
Who told you this?
I had been on satchet inverter as Methuselah.
In fact I don't do inverters with inbuilt charging system.

Please which do you think is better Powmr or Felicity MPPT Charge controllers?

mctfopt:


PowMr is a better controller compared with Yohako controller.

It doesn't have to be the EXACT number of the manufacturer's mosfet. It can be same or more rated specifications.

Baba it doesn't work well.

Especially psw inverter.

Won't like to argue then.

But dyou think you can always get the EXACT model number of every inverter mosfet?

Do you repair inverters? Cos I do and have confirmed it many times. You don't just swap in mosfet because they look alike, you look up their specs. If it matches in rating, NOTHING wouldn't make it work.

That's why every single of these devices have something called DATASHEET.

What am saying is it doesn't work with all inverters.
