Ogas in the house.

I currently use Growatt 6000 ES Plus inverter, powered by 8 pieces of Exulted 460W high voltage panels connected in 2Sx4P.

The problem is the highest the panels have given me is around 1600W for something that should be generating 3600W.

Installer is suggesting doing 7 panels parallel since we can’t connect all 8 in parallel as the voltage will be too high for the inverter to take, leading to a fault code.

I’ve not been bothered since I installed it 5 months or so ago, but now that dust is settling on the panel, panel output has even gone as low as 1000W some times.

Please advise.
3600w panel should generate ar least 14000w a day of good sun no matter how hot, because 3600w is for one hour of peak sun.

Check the parallel connections.

why not get in touch in that line of business.

3 projects I have handled, the owners used AirConditioner compressor. Mind you, I didn't do the building; just handled the Solar setUp side
Thank you

The building first

2600/4 = 650W ??
Have you considered peak sun resistance inefficiency.
The panel should be at least 1.5 or more of the quarter of the battery power

Be careful a 2.6kwh lithium battery should be more than 400k

Hello solar inverter guru in the house, I'm thinking on getting one of the two package, to power the following:
49inches smart Tv
2 rechargeable fan
Airtel internet cable
6 bulbs but not all at once
1 18 inches ox fan only at noon
A laptop and 2 phones

I got the 2 quotation to make a choice:



The Tubular Battery Packages.

1kva inverter
240ahms battery
4 pieces of 200watts panel
Cables, Breakers

#530,000

The Lithium Battery Packages.

1kva Hybrid inverter
2.6KWH Lithium battery
2 pieces of 350watts panel
Cables, Breakers

#630,000

Is any of the 2 a good choice?
700w solar panel will not charge 2.6kwh well.
You need one more 350 orr two 550w which in turns means the charge controller should be more than 30A mppt or you shift to 24v Lithium or nothing

Marykhay:
Thanks Chief for pointing out that the cells are indeed balanced (negligible unbalance), meaning I have no problem with the guy’s weird configuration anymore as well as the imbalance of the system.


I use 3units of 180Watts panels. Which is 540Watts. It charges fine. No issues at all with any component of the system. However, the system doesn’t last long enough for its capacity. This is the part I don’t understand anymore.

Pointing out that I should change to an MPPT is suggesting to me that it could be that the PWM is limiting its charge to less than 3.65per cell? Meaning that it doesn’t fully charge the system?

Well, I’ll get the MPPT and see if the problem goes away or not.
What size of pwm are you using the truth is if your pwm is 30A only 200-250w will be used for a 12v system the rest are wasted as heat and can even destroy the controller.

Change the pwm to mppt.

That would be the end of your problem.

Charging is one thing, delivering the required voltage and current is another.

osayuwamwen:
The voc of panel is 49.42v
Same thing
@49.3 when the weather gets hotter it could increase to 56- 57v
So you use 55v to do your calculations.

In series your voltage increases
In parallel current A increases
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by capnies:

The first picture is luxsun inverter panel power recommendation found inside the box
The 2nd picture is the spec of the pv input on the body of the inverter
The 3rd is the 535 jinko vmp and imp 40.81v and 13.11A respectively
My question is can I use up to 9 panel of this 535watt on this luxun inverter will it not be above the manufacturer recommendation as again the first picture?
The mppt pv input determines the size and connection of your panel

The max mppt pv input is 450v that means look at the Voc of your panels if it 45v it means you can't connect 10 of those panels in series, but you can connect 5 in series and then connect them in parallel 5s2p.

Your mppt is 100A
If the inverter handles 48v use 48v settings and you use more panels for faster charging ⁷
For 48v you can use as much as 5800w panel provided the pv input of the setup does not get to 450v

If it is 24v then you can use like 2900w panel with total setup voltage less than 450v

If your panel is 525w you need just 6 in series for 24v and like 12 panels for 48v connected 6s2p

Congratulations

Marykhay:
For more context guys:
I use the system for my router, fans and other basic things especially when there is no light.

It is connected to a MSW satchet inverter and a PWM controller.

Even if the satchet inverter has an efficiency of worst case scenario of 70%:
I’m still supposed to get around 540Wh capacity.

But from my testing using calculated loads, this system shuts at 336Wh which is really bad.
With the reading the cells are balanced only . 0.02v

What size of panel
Pwm controllers are not too good for lifepo4 cells.

Don't tamper with it GET 30A MPPT CONTROLLER
INCREASE THE PANEL TO 350-400W
you'll have peace.

Lifepo4 cells have long cycle life to die so soon
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by capnies: 6:04pm On Feb 13
Marykhay:
Do you mean if I reconfigure it even without balancing the cells that this active balancer will do the work?

Or do you mean I should just add the balancer to the existing configuration?
FOR EASY TOP BALANCE CONNECT THE BMS AND BALANCER AT ONCE AND CHARGE TO 3.65V WITH YOUR DEDICATED CHARGER NOW.

READ ALL THE CELLS TO ENSURE THEIR BALANCED.

AFTER BALANCING YOU CAN DISCONNECT THE BALANCER IF YOU WANT.

BUT LET THE BALANCER STAY FOR HOURS AFTER TOP BALANCING BEFORE YOU REMOVE IT IF YOU WANT TO.

Appreciation to Mr Reed..
Got in touch with him about a 48v8kwh battery he had and i assumed the price on his page without confirming from him. It was after making payment we noticed difference was abt 200k. We spoke and he agreed I'd balance him afterwards once client pays balance. He trusted me and sent the battery down and still readily/happily helped with answers when I got stuck during installation.
Installation has bin completed and balance settled.
Thank you very much sir, I really appreciate you.
It was nice doing business with you

An important thing Dollarnaira did, was connect the 12v cable direct from the buck converter, so it is super effecient (straight DC to DC)

Projecting 20 ( phones and powerbank) min.
150a cworth, 3k inverter. Ive decided to slow down and get it right. For now, the panel will be 1 pcs of 550w jinko. Younger don dey lok as the weapon fashion against her. With the way I dey call monies.
A 6000mah phone battery approximately 25w, 20 phones is only 500w and that’s if the 20 phones are plugged at once.

A laptop 65w 10 laptops approximately 650w if plugged at once

Total 1150w

A 3000w satchet inverter has 1500w continuous power and should handle that perfectly.

Except it is possible to charge upto 50 phones at once 50x25w=1150w then 10x65w laptops @650w plus others, but is it possible.

na you dey overComplicate things trying to follow the crowd

For such requirement that closes by 5pm or thereAbout, the following once again should be a good enough start;

2pcs USEd 350w solar panels = 40,000 * 2 = 80,000 naira
USEd 24v 3.5kva or 3kva (sachet or hybrid or standard) inverter = 130,000 naira
USEd charge controller (only when not using hybrid inverter)= 60,000 naira
PV cable (poor man's own) = 20,000 naira
Brand new lithium based battery or USEd leadAcid battery 24v = 300,000 naira

installation costs = As the spirit leads


going 12v would only save you few pennies now BUT cost you more later

if you could afford 4pcs of solar panels, better.


if e still expensive for your sister, check to be sure you not trying to help her while helping yourself.

My brother, you said your salary is only 100k monthly, and in one move you've spent 15k, what is remaining, I would advise you to back out from the rubbish this world glorifies and focus on yourself. Imagine saving 15k monthly in another account, by December you'll have 180k in your account plus little interest, do that for another 3 years you'll have 720k, enough to start something or even learn a professional skill.

The greatest problem we have as men is not sitting back and reflecting, by the time you develop yourself in five years time from that little salary, the standard you talked about that you're not up to will become history.

Follow God's advise it is for our own good.

Wish you the best

How can you say you are wanting to date anyone only for you to hyper focus on the mundane and not on what matters which is supposedly chemistry between the two of you? 🥱🥱

If that girl had come concerned only about how much she would obtain from you, would you consider her sensible? 🥱🥱
