Thanks guys!!

Will stick to the 3S4P as adviced..

ceaser:


I'm not so sure 250 watts in 4s will not exceed the 150V voc of the CC. Perhaps a nameplate of your panel posted here may help or those with idea of the voc of 250 watts panel can help.

Your present 3s config seems to provide adequate headroom for your CC to handle the 48v charging and additions should be more of parallel going forward. I don't have much knowledge of the Fangpusuns though, but that's what I think obtain for most MPPTs I've encountered.

Edited: I see @ kardozy has same opinion as this.

When I was using a 250w Panel max I got was 34v so I think you should be fine with 4S3P but 3S4P is certainly safer incase your Panel voc is higher than mine

My brother, pls never use that figure to work. Use the VOC on the name plate. If and if u just for a second or two, u see 38v, what happens after that?
I have seen that quite well on 255w trina

who is using the UKA rechargeable fan?
bought it for my people some moons ago, now the switch has developed issues.
how were you able to repair the switch?. youtube is just showing how to replace the faulty switch

If the switch is mechanical, I think it should make it the more easier to replace, right?

Or maybe I'm just assuming sha.

Interesting sunny day, did over 3x of my array capacity, funny enough i didn't achieve any record instantaneous hervest but the cumulative is fantastic!

Which app/software is this? And how does it sync to your components (batteries, inverter, panels, etc)

Its mechanical.
Guess will throw in the towel n give it a repairer @ uka fan

My inverter ac chills ok. Low gas is the likely cause of the poor chilling he described above

Users of inverter ACs here, your input may be required.
Chris is right. That AC only cools on cold nights. I had to give out mine and use a non-inverter AC for peace of mind.

So I got to confirm the consumption. It only has DC to DC cables included. It does not come with AC power pack included unlike the Qasa AC/DC standing fan (the type Ojeysky has in that picture) that has both AC power pack and crocodile clips to DC plugs included. So I used the power pack included in the latter. It's rated 230vac 12vdc 2amp plug.

At speed 1 - 9 watts
At speed 2 - 11 watts
At speed 3 - 15 watts.

It blows air impressively down a 9 feet ceiling at all speeds.

How many pieces will give a 24v setup. Gud morning.

7pcs in series is ideal for 24v setup
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Javid4me: 10:44am On Aug 16, 2020
It might help if the inverter ACs are sized correctly with the rooms.
The 1 HP is good for small rooms and works well.
The benefit is not felt when installed in a large/larger room.
Try the 1.5 HP and higher in larger rooms.

The LG versions work very well when sized correctly with the room.

Simply install your inverter AC in an enclosed space you will sure achieve the balance between optimal cooling & lower power consumption.

If you need more cooling, you have the remote to switch to full power mode.

(From Thermocool 1hp user perspective).

It's the mobile version of emoncms that basically reads data from the emoncms on on my raspberry pi, the emoncms receives data from solpiplog for processing which inturn hervest the raw data from my pip inverter and BMV.

Sorry, I didn't get the message you quoted but I assume it's the one about the orbit fan.

Chai...una don go far for this waka. I didnt understand 90% of the terminologies you used here... grin...dont bother explaining further jare. Na the normal battery-inverter i understand..thanks for your response, nonetheless. I do appreciate

Thanks. The BOT police is really annoying a lot of times. Even quoting can lead to a ban.
Next thing is to be sure my inverters meet the spec to do the job.

What is your Daily usage in Watt hours?

Example mine is 4kwh, So I must be able to generate 5-6Kwh daily if I rely only on Solar.

I like the fact that the inverter did not seem to increase its fan speed at that load, though since it's 5kva, the load would be about 30%, nice to have inverter I must say!
The fan speed is not load dependent. It is temperature dependent. It is an incredible inverter.

It varies. I can use as much at 8 kwh some days more. But average at least 5 on a fair day
