From my little knowledge if you want to use lithium get 24v 100amps battery, 30amps mppt charge control, two 300watts panel and a 1kva inverter all this should be less than 1million and I believe it should serve you well but kindly note that as you are increasing appliances you will need to upgrade

Can anyone recommend good and reasonably priced brands of LiFePO4 compatible inverters and LifePO4 battery.I am planning on overhauling my inverter system from regular Luminous type inverter and tubular batteries to LIFEPO4

Okay. The system was installed in first week of August this year. By first week of September, the charge controller had gotten bad. The charge controller would not read (the watts and amps will be showing 0.00) but the battery will be charging. It’s a 15kwh Felicity lithium battery. The charge controller is also felicity. So the installer took the charge controller to the company to repair. He brought it back 3 weeks later. After 5 days, the charge the issue resurfaced. The controller won’t read anything but the battery will charge (although it charges slower than it normally does with the controller ). We kept using the system like that while waiting for the installer to return the charge controller. Then two Sundays ago, we got back from church and smelled something burning, we went to check and it was the inverter (10kva felicity non hybrid inverter). The installer came to remove everything and took it back to the company and they said the inverter was burnt. I have never loaded beyond 28% on the inverter since we got it. That’s what happened. I don’t know how manage it happened.

Hello guys, good evening. Can anyone tell me about SMS hybrid inverter in terms of durability and performance? I am planning to get a 10.2kva sms transformerless hybrid inverter to replace my older inverter that got damaged. Also, I heard that transformer based inverters are better than transformerless inverters. Also, is there any need for me to add another mppt charge controller to an hybrid inverter that already has a 160A mppt controller? The installer was telling me that I should still get a separate charge controller for it… Please Nairaland inverter profs, I need your urgent response.

Finally, apart from Felicity brand, which other inverter brands are reliable and durable and affordable? Thank you.

Boss, 78w idle power consumption for 5kva of transformer based is better. Hybrid is not better at all. Mine consumed 72w and I'm planning to change it.... 5kva 48v hybrid inverter should consume 50w max on idle mode.

If you wear jeans trousers and can drop Benjamins, without grumbling definitely 1-3days will work.

If you wear Ankara with fila, satchet inverter is a very viable option.

Update, i have finally acquired a 10 kva inverter and for the last 2months i have sampling and pushing the limits of the inverter. Thanks to everyone that gave suggestions on the brand to buy.

I settled for Felicity ivps100 48. Purely inverter and non hybrid. I can comfortable power 2 ac , use threadmill while my wife is using hotplate. I have thrown different gadgets with different scenerous at it. You name it water heater, with ac, pumping machine all. The inverter stand no shaking.

Since i am okay with this, like i wrote way back on this thread. I don't sell most of solar items after an upgrade its been a journey of 13 years. I have to create space and let go of things.

Up for sale
two 5 kva inverters both 48v. ( Wall and standing type). what is the idle power consumption of this inverter
2. 5 kva inverter 48v (standing type)
3.5 kva inverter 24 v (wall).

All inverters are transformer based. Will upload pictures of the inverters for sale.... Thanks again everyone...

14×4.2=58.8v max ( decreases lifespan though)
3×14 = 42v cutoff (38.08v for my trusted Samsung 26J).

Obnoxious2001:
Check if you have met the minimum required PV input voltage

preyeamaorutobi:
Thank you sir for your response. I was told I need a 24V inverter to be able to run my fridge that was why I was thinking of upgrading the inverter to 2.5kva. I don't know if I'm in the right track but if getting just a another battery will solve the problem then I will be very happy.

ksmart027:
Please do you know any site i can order them from? I can't find them on jumia or konga, thanks.

ksmart027:
Thanks boss, I have already placed an order. Please can you recommend any low watt ceiling fan, the qasa i saw on jumia is 75+5w, and that's kind of high for me. Thanks.

How many cells do you have in series? Max charge voltage for 18650 cells 14s is 58.8, that is 4.2v × 14, but it is better to charge to 4.0v per cell to prolong the lifespan of your cells. Cut off should be 3.0v per cell which is 42v.

Lithium titanate?
I doubt if you would see any new product without any form of challenge. Even the MB30 and MB31 Eve released has their various challenges.
Lithium ion phosphate has a working voltage range of 3.000v-3.400v.
54.4v bulk charging and 53.6v float charging has always been my charging range.

Felicity Hybrid Inverter 5Kva

iCauseTrouble:
Yes bro. Eastman brand

dollarnaira:
Guessed as much.
I hate them very well bc they are time wasters. Am sorry.

u see why i said it is a sponsored post. . even if he used 2 battery in series. the person being hyped isn't the right person to post a rebuttal.
