Between Mppt and PmW charge controller, which should I use and why?
Thanks
If you can afford it a good quality MPPT. If your application does not require deep discharge of your batteries then a pwm will do the job. More tricky to work with but they do the job.
How many amps charge controller would work for a parallel connection for the 4 panels to charge 2 now 12 v 200amps batteries?
If you have a good quality inverter keep it. You have 800 Watts in panels. Divide by your inverter voltage. That will give you the size of controller you need.
Dam5reey: Yes, this will make your battery system 24 Voltage.. and capacity 200Ah.. Rather than your 12V 400Ah. however, you will need to change the Inverter to 24V..
Since your Panel is 800Watts.. you can use a 24V 40A MPPT controller, which will take 1040Watts panel at 24V
He has a 12 V inverter. Why should he change the inverter?
Please note that Grid Tie is illegal in Nigeria for both legal and technical reasons. Unless the rules for net metering and micorgrids are published and implemented wrong use of grid tie inverter can kill somebody !
A grid tied inverter is not illegal in Nigeria. Feeding back to the grid is what is not allowed. You can use a string inverter / grid tied inverter that works in conjunction with your battery inverter. They are called AC coupled systems. All the production is consumed or used the charge your batteries. The Battery inverter has to be able to do frequency shifting for it to work. There are a few people within this forum that do it using SMA Inverters and have yet to kill anyone.
one chance batteries 1-4 is quite interesting. keep up the good work.
Thank you bros. I did a new one today. Happier face today. I was able to run my 2 hp pumping machine for 5 minutes with only 400 watts coming from my PV. It is recovering slowly. I am not doing with them what I did with my T105's.
bodeface: Hello house, Anyone with experience on Schneider product should help out on this;
Schneider Conext SW4024 Inverter tripping on F49 fault (DC Over Voltage), the battery bank is a set of eight nos of 200AH wired for 24VDC, I have monitored the charging voltage while the inverter is charging not to exceed 26.1VDC and the battery bank voltage sitting pretty at about 24.8VDC, however once the utility power is applied to the inverter after charging for about 2-3 mins will trip on F49 fault.
Has anyone experienced this before? Appreciate all comments
Send an email to ksolaiya@atlanticwastepower.com tell him Dr Solar sent you. What load are you running on the inverter.
