Gurus in the house...i need your opinion and help please

i paid for solar plus inverter back in January this year at a cost of over N700000 for which the installer supplied a 2.4kv prag inverter plus two GDM 200Ah batteries and three 300w flames mono solar panel with a roy solar controller so its safe to say that the installer made a very very good profit on my job because if I had bought all that myself and called him to just install, the materials won't cost me more than 525k as at then and am sure he can't charge me 200k for just installation

but i wanted to avoid issues so I let him buy everything and avoid "i am not the one that bought it, i just installed it" issues but unfortunately those issues i wanted to avoid
all came back now making it turn out to be the worst purchase i ever did in my life.

first off...i knew that solar was fishy as its mostly reading arnd 7 to 11A even under bright hot sun.

from day 1..i hardly got 20A charging frm the solar(frm my calc..900w solar should give upto 40A at 24v)...so even at full sunny day..once phcn doesn't bring light for a full day..inverter goes down arnd 6 to 7pm..now the solar charging is so bad that if nepa takes light frm morning, the inverter goes off mid day arnd 1-2 pm when the sun is at its brightest

just 6 weeks after installation, the useless prag inverter gave up..thats when i knew something was fishy 100%...the inverter would be supplying light to mains when in battery mode..had to take it in to warranty repairs.

now the inverter hardly gives 3.5 hrs backup down frm about 9 hrs when it was new in january(same load)..this is something less than 4 months old and has never worked for more than 7 weeks at a time without going nuts

usually nepa takes light by 12 midnight and bring by 4am....now even b4 4am..dis unverter would be screaming low battery and shutdown anything frm past 3am...just dissappointing for a setup costing over 700k

the installer is very nonchalant because i paid him in full so he doesn't seem to care. always forming busy and like he is doing me a favour to even respond to my messages

lesson av learnt so far is never pay any technician/artisan in full upfront and also never ever buy a prag inverter...never..dat brand is just useless!!!

can u believe that after the inverter packed up just 6 weeks after installation, it took this idiot installer another 6 weeks to show up and take it to the service center?

later...dey will say its village people when its just deir stinking attitude thats killing their prospects

if i had been on installment with this proud fool that installed this nonsense..he would have been forced to fix all this

now to why am here..any suggestions on how I can at least get arnd 6-7 hrs backup regularly?

because as it is...the prag inverter is crap(i mean i knw many ppl on luminous that has worked for years)

the solar is semi crap

now it seems the battery too is giving up

all these barely 4 months after installation that cost over 700k

ppl just don't have fear of God in this country

load is about 4 fans, 3 energy bulbs, 2 lcd TVs and 2 laptops

any suggestions on how to remedy this pathetic situation highly recommended!

thanks in advance
If you had bought the items yourself the system will still fail in 6months. why your load is extremely outrageous for 2 units of 200ah and 900w solar (label). for you to adequately/average enjoy solar you need the minimum of 4 units of 200ah and 2.5kw array, a good 1.5-2.5kva inverter can serve, 60a mppt. All hope is not lost you can still rescue the situation. Good luck

I am assuming you have 12v batteries? If so then each 48v string should have 1 unit of HA02 dedicated to it so for 3 48v strings you would use 3 units of the HA02.

If you are creative you can actually use 1 unit HA02 and parallel it across the 3 48v strings - the unit would be working hard if your batteries are highly mismatched but not a problem if your batteries are new or closely matched in voltage.

Has anyone had a successful RMA transaction for SMA equipment with SMA?

We have 3 SMA mini central 1100tl inverters being fed by 33kwp solar panels - 11kwp per inverter. There is also a cluster box and 3 sma SI 8.0H inverters. We have been having riso fault on 2 of the smc 1100 inverters and they refuse to lock. We have checked pc cables, connections etc. However, when we swap out the other two pv strings to the working inverter, there is no riso error again and the system works. It appears there is a problem with the smc inverters.

Complete System is about 2 years old and powers a hospital.

We reached out to Solarshop -where we bought the inverters and send an email as requested. Not even an acknowledgement email after a reminder.

SMA was better -SMA france has been handling the case and we have gotten an RMA - However, we have to send the bad equipment to Germany, then they will send the replacement to our freight forwarder in France.
For two inverters, we are finding it may cost us almost 800k shipping fees to send the 2 inverters and get back replacements.

Does anybody have any ideas to reduce this cost or have a reliable freight forwarder in France
Has any had a similar riso error on SMA inverters.

I already shared a way that problem can be resolved. a double pole breaker controls the PV positive to cc as well as battery positive to cc that way both power source goes off same time.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by earthrealm(m): 9:22am On May 29, 2018
so popped into villa to check up on my old folks solar setup.
i am beginning to believe that the desulphator -powerpulse , is working
its a 24v setup with 4 x 12v x 200ah mecury flooded battery. all 4 batteries were between 12.56v and 12.58v, 25.1V ON THE CC ,which was a bit unsettling, and i said it might be a fluke, so i loaded up a 250w,[fridge+lights] and the batteries dropped to btw 12.33v and 12.35v, 24.6v on the CC

EVEN THOUGH THE batteries appear to be balanced, i strongly believe they are not so healthy, cos how can a mere 250w load drop the voltage from 25.1v to 24.6v in a 12v x 4 x 220ah fla batt bank. or is this a norml behaviour with fla batts?

aborted my plans of hooking up the ha01 to the bank, lemme observe it some more.
note: the powerpulse desulphator has been hooked up for about 12months now, and the series parallel connection of the batts was properly done with busbar, and equal cable lengths grin grin


see the desulphator below, fab reviews, if reviews are anything to go by, am using the 24v model.

commenting on the bolded. As much as I feel your literal anger, I don't think its right to condemn the prag product or brand. From what you've stated above, the company fullfilled its warranty policy.
The only cause I suspect as the fault is "thunder strike or heavy voltage surge/spike". Show this forum, pictures of your installation and setup so as to be guided on the do's and don'ts.

PEACE.

Found an interesting link on the issue of CC blowing up when the battery MCB trips

http://gwl-power.tumblr.com/post/119710076701/faq-never-disconnect-the-battery-from-the-solar

It's one more to admire the design of Victron mppt blue solar chargers. Last weekend while carrying out some scheduled maintenance on my battery bank (repositioning them, cleaning the terminal connections etc) as usual I turned off the battery fuse to the inverter and controllers (this was around 11-12am about the pick time of solar irradiance in Abuja) it was a complete rocky mistake but little did I know as I took my time in making sure bolts where retight, cleaned terminal washers and changed battery positions. When I was done in about an hour and half later. I noticed the charge controllers were both on float.. At least I wondered why.. Then I remembered that I had disconnected the battery while the PV was still connected. Rather than see blue smoke the mppt solar from victron which are designed to have their circuit powered from solar as well as battery simply interpreted the lack of a battery load to mean a full battery state of charge moved to the part of the PV IV curve where zero power is generated essentially safely shutting down the controller while the pv remains in open circuit voltage with zero current passing through. Had I been using another controller.. I would have been here receiving sorry for my rocky error. Instead I connected the battery back and got the system working like before. Like Pranil noted a while back. How a cc is designed matters a lot.

Insufficient data. I've made the same mistake with Midnite Classic CC and deliberately tried again twice. The iTracer I use for backup has survived the same on numerous occasions (intentional and unintentional) while I was learning my ropes; Xantrex had no issue either. Seen abunafiu survive a similar situation with his MorningStar Tristar 150.

As the article Pranil posted states, running at full power might have something to do with it. My understanding of the issue is that most MPPT CC have some tolerance built in for these disconnections. The problem might have to with the amount of power (my Midnite was at full power around 1pm yet stayed alive; my own heart nearly gave out as I thought that was the end).

@house, whenever I top up my fla batts with distilled water, and I look inside, the whole electrolyte appears very cloudy or dirty, and then clears up after a while. it appears I have lots of sediments at the bottom, is this a cause for alarm, should I drain the electrolyte and refill with fresh one?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by NiyiOmoIyunade(m): 7:37am On May 30, 2018
Similar stories for the MorningStar MPPT 60 - I had disconnected PV at around 2000watts several times without issues. The one accidental breaker trip when connected to a 4.5kw array at full sun (CC was passing the max 60amps into battery) blew the CC instantly.

MorningStar have released a firmware update that includes 'enhanced protection for battery disconnected while PV still connected'.

Although I have the above firmware update installed for my two CC's and nearly all clients, I have not the courage to attempt an experiment such as you have done to deliberately test to see if the CC would blow grin

For me I only use manual disconnects (not MCB) with a lock down feature between CC and battery - you will need to unscrew a clamp before you can gain access to disconnect the CC from battery, hopefully in the 2 minutes or so it takes to perform the disconnect, alarm bells would have gone off in my head to ensure CC is disconnected from PV array first and so far so good it has been working flawlessly grin grin grin

The problem might have to with the amount of power (my Midnite was at full power around 1pm yet stayed alive; my own heart nearly gave out as I thought that was the end).

No please! Do not drain electrolyte except you notice a catastrophic decline in performance that equalization e.t.c cannot fix.

Sediments are a natural part of battery charge and discharge as the active plate material erodes away (battery charging/discharging & discharging is actually really a corrosive/destructive electro-chemical process) and most quality batteries have a substantial sediment trap at the bottom to ensure the broken off sediments are contained and do not short out the battery.

More especially, actually replacing electrolyte (not talking about topping off with distilled water here o) is a very stressful process and certainly not for the faint of heart.



Reprobate:
@house, whenever I top up my fla batts with distilled water, and I look inside, the whole electrolyte appears very cloudy or dirty, and then clears up after a while. it appears I have lots of sediments at the bottom, is this a cause for alarm, should I drain the electrolyte and refill with fresh one?

lol, frankly I wasn't looking forward to that, learnt 1 single fla batt takes 20liters of electrolyte!

@ola28, pls whats the reason for sale?, is ur price flexible?

My last shot boss - is there a way to edit the Yohako CC settings? So you can change the absorb voltage setpoint?

Perhaps right now it is just working with default settings and they are too low for your application.



Nope, no voltage settings, beside battery selection, like 24v, 48v, e.t.c

it's all good though, i have definitely learned my lesson, though it's been the hard way.

My next upgrades will be special angry God willing


zeestone99:


This yohako does not perform like an Mppt Controller even though Mppt is written on it, we discussed this earlier on this thread, epsolar, fangpusun, and any premium controllers shud b ur choice of any Mppt.


I knew it angry

Sigh and the installer was even still arguing with me about this and that. ediot person.

I knew there was a reason it didn't show the current conversion happening, lol, chai, these bastarrrds sha.

At this point the only thing that is holding up are the panels, everything else seems like a bad purchase thus far.


DMerciful:
I have dismantled this yohako controller, it's not mppt. I repeat it is not mppt.

lol grin

Hello Chief George, it isn't upto 100A cc as stated . Max I have seen is 50/60A max on remote setting unless you are referring to 24v specs.. Cheer's

Thanks very much Big bros...
