You know say na Una dey convince people say dem fit Mix & Match Solar panels of different capacities. Now you're seeing the result.
Wonder why you guys won't let somethings be, so those who really knows what they're doing, to take such risks.

Once again, whenever you combine Solar Panels of different capacities, expect the higher ones to come down to level of the lowest. At end of the day, na you go dey cheat yourself.

Let me tell you sth
I have mismatched panels of 2s1p grin grin. Infact they were so mismatched that the 190w had 42v and 2 other 350w were 34v each with Ethernet cable of 78ft garnished with 5 joining points . Still it produces an average of 16a on a 12v system. I can say my area is one of the worst place to go on grid.Despite all the loses, my freezer, washing machine, tv etc were happily working then for almost 2yrs. Now, imagine the pv with the shortest distance and with right thickness of cable.

Solar journey can never be perfect. So far it is better than Phcn and generator especially this time.

You shouldn't go broke just to power essentials.

I have an open box, pure sine wave 1.6kw sachet inverter. Low idle power consumption. ...Also solar panels of various capacities, both used and new.

Shoot me a mail if interested.

first, your pictures says nothing about if it's for an ISP, or a financial institution.

Secondly, even if they do, which I know, the numbers are so small it's as good as none.

Thridly, have repeatedly made it clear I believe lithium technology is more performant BUT because it's very difficult getting genuine cells, it's more adviceAble sticking to Acid batteries. There's a reason I don't use LG products despite they having various showRooms all over the place.

Probably same reason Tokunbo appliances cost as much as brand new ones in Nigeria

You no dey ever gree.

Update Guys,

I have added the second 560 watts panel in series to the CC and removed the 180 watts Africell panels. So it's now 2pcs of 560amps half cut solar panels.

Please see my yield as at 10:35am.

I also attached an external battery meter (kindly ignore other readings on the screen). The battery meter and my voltmeter gives me 12.9 when Powmr CC shows 13.3

N/B my freezer is currently connected to the setup and running.
Please what is your total load?
Is your freezer the highest load?

My ECGSolax BSC6048 60Amp 24V PWM Solar Charge Controller is displaying this e-03 on the screen immediately nepa brought light two days ago. I've been unable to reach my installer due to network issues .I've done some research online but couldn't really understand much. Please has anyone encountered such,what could be the problem

Disconnect any battery terminal from cc in the night or early morning and reconnect. I can only trust battery terminal disconnectiom on powmr cc even on a very hot afternoon. Try this first

abeg bigman, which 12v inverter you they use run your lithium setup?

I no wan waste funds again, I no know whether souer inverter go work am.

Souer is msw.
Ok but bad for:
Smart tv, regular fans, fluorescent bulbs etc
Good for rechargeable fans, regular tv , charging etc.

Psw no be beans ooo e don cos
Msw is still cheap.

I use psw

Please explain better for me

The one i have now is 200w 24v 2pair

And am thinking of getting 300w 24v also 2pair

What are the voc of both?

Someone wants to build me 12v 100ah battery using the 32650 cells for 220k.
Is it a good bargain, also are the 32650 lfp cells good comparef to their prismatic counterparts?

These are used cells, in fact out of curiosity I bought some.
Doesn't worth it.
Brand new prismatic 135ah cells posted up there cost 250k. The difference is large and clear.

Bro I just found out that this inverter comes in 12v and 24v, will the one of 24v work on 12v system?

Nooooo

"Difficult for 12v to derail"? Only a 1s wouldn't derail.

Better safe than sorry!!!

With proper initial balance one is still safe.
What lithium hates is overcharging and depth of discharge. After all no lithium batteries can have exact voltages among themselves. No matter how small there is always a safe difference.

Sorry to ask, is there any inverter that can go below 10v on 12v system?

I only know of msw but an old version of 1kva souer,pulls to 9.45v. Probably the lower the capacity the deeper the drain.

Good morning gurus, After charging my 12.6 volt 3s 40ah, I decided to test with a ups and it beeps low battery and shutdown, the bms cuts voltage also.

What could be the problem?

What is the voltage of the battery via bms terminals and direct battery terminals?

Chai...I almost made same mistake some time ago...incase of next time, check konga first, it may be cheaper and faster. This is a 15A shown though
The 300w is even less.
Konga is roughly an escape route to AliExpress.

those buck converters don't last long especially when you are nearing the full current rating, I got a 60a pwm charge controller that can charge a 3s battery for mine then

Cool but just that few pwm accept editable settings.

Boss, so I decided to try that 105w deep freezer with my 1kva inverter. I switched off everything and put on the freezer. The inverter didn't even indicate that there was an overload. The freezer worked and I checked the inverter and the load was just 17%. I was surprised.

Wow!!!
Brilliant
Modern freezers are now energy efficient.
Is ur inverter satchet?
Saw an Aeon 150w freezer at 98w I was impressed.

According to secondary school physics, this always applies P=IV or I=P/V or V=P/I.

Work of an INVERTER is to Boost the voltage of your battery from 12-volts, 24-volts, 36-volts, 48-volts TO 240-volts or what is required.
Now along the line, the current of the battery is also affected.

Now depending on the voltage from where the inverter is Boosting from, e.g 12-volts, it could mean more stress on the battery and inverter system.

hence it easier (both on the battery & inverter) to boost from 24-volts, than from 12-volts. Also easier from 48-volts, than below.

Now for your own good, the less stress you put on the battery, the better for you.

Bottom line is, let's strive to put as little stress on our batteries as we could afford. Any power appliance (e.g fridge, Freezer, AirConditioner, etc) should be run on a minimum of 24-volts system and above, wether na inverterBasedAppliance or not.

That na my own opinion

You go explain tire
