My jinko 580w watts making me proud.
Rated 13.6amp at STC producing 13amps..

jonescosmos:


10mm PV Cables for such a small unit? Honestly? Why do this?. You will loos energy bro.
The most practical wire for solar panels is PV1-F 750V-1000V Anti-Stretch Shielded Outdoor solar cable, this cable is most common in 4mm2 and 6mm2. A very rough rule of thumb is for arrays of less than 20A can use 4mm2, and 20A or larger should use 6mm2. If a larger size is required, it is recommended to run twice from the array to the solar controller.

I've done this before and it ended in tears. I did parallel Longi 450W with 11.60A Isc. The Growatt will be working fine until sun hears it's peak and it sees 22A and then enters into error mode and shut down after 3 minutes or so

HeavenlyBang:


Power is power, regardless of voltage/current split.

My inverter is limited to 13A, my PVs max out at 11.5A, but I don't think I've ever gotten more than 9A in the real world.

Still I run a 1 HP inverter AC in the afternoon comfortably without the inverter drawing any power from my battery.

Powmr 60a for sale

jonescosmos:


The bolded claim is not correct sir. 6500w is the combination power of both MPPTs

Ferdiwar:
Please I need your input on Deye inverter specs.

Mine is the 5kw with 2 MPPTs, the specs reads;

Max PV input power of 6500w.
PV input voltage 370vdc (125vdc - 500vdc).
PV input current 13Adc + 13Adc.

Now I understand that the input current is 13A for both MPPTs but I don't know if same is the case for the input voltage.

My question is "is the 370v (125v - 500v) for each of the MPPTs or a combined voltage for both MPPTs"?

I want to increase my panels wants to know if I can still add to already existing setup or make provision for an external CC.

Ferdiwar:
Isc or Imp? Cause but are totally different.

Penuelseun:
JA Solar 460w is around 11a

HeavenlyBang:


Just connect in series...

Also, unlike voltage, current needs to be drawn. Even if your setup is supplying 25A isc, your Growatt will only pull the 22A it's limited to. You still lose some power but not much.

My SRNE has a max input of 13A but a 500v VOC, so I just ran my PVs in series.

Any reliable Solar installer based in Ibadan here?

TechGeek777:


4s2p won't be efficient, the minimum voltage for that IVEM3024 is 120v, but 360v is the Nominal Voltage(Where the inverter will achieve maximum efficiency).

7s1p or 8s1p if distance from pv to inverter is much.

NB: Max Voc of your inverter is 500v and not 400v as stated.



Exactly why I asked him to reaffirm the inverter VOC cos I only saw 500v VOC in both 3024 and 5048, 15amps n 20amps respectively on Isc of the IVEM type of d said brand


He should check his inverter manual n thoroughly read through n engage an installer if need be

BlueStripper:


No worries Edrizz,

Thank you for the help and support this far.

The amperage is 80amps. Should I still proceed with 7 panels in series ?

BlueStripper:


OMG! TechGeek you just saved a life.

I checked the VOC of the panel. Damn! That would have been brutal.

I ordered Chint MCB's as against the fake Schneider that was once supplied to me by a vendor here.

Thank you so much Sir. God bless you

TechGeek777:


If it's Jinko 625w sold by Fouani, the VOC is 56 .55V, then I won't advise you connect all 8 panels in series as the total voltage will be (452.4v) which is more than max VOC of inverter 400v.

Max panels you can connect is 7 panels, or 6 panels to be on safe side.

But is the Voc of panel <50v, you can connect all 8 panels in series.

You also need to get AC & DC MCB + Over Voltage Protector, @Zeestone99 sells both devices!

Amypriti:


It’s not hybrid

BlueStripper:


Thank you so much Edrizz

Max Solar Voltage (VOC) 400VDC

BlueStripper:
Good Morning Bosses,

Happy Easter and thank you all for the advice the last time.

Update on my decision and progress.

I bought a 3kw Felicity hybrid inverter and 6kw Lantan LFP battery.

I also ordered 8pcs of 625watts Jinko Panels from Fouani.

Cables: 6mm dual core.

SPD protectors (AC and DC).

My journey to full Lithium begins in a few days.

I am using large arrays for high yield as I intend to run two fridges and an inverter AC during peak hours.

Please advice on solar array configuration. Should I use 4S4P?

Amypriti:
Goodmorning everyone and Happy Easter

Pls need advise on the type of solar panel and quantity I should go for

I have an inverter set up already
2 * 220mah tubular batteries
1 * 3kva inverter pure sine (24v)

I want to add solar to it and need assistance on the best solar panel,the quantities and type of mppt controller required . Thank you

yemi2plus:


Can two of your 24v 300ah batteries be parralled to give 48v 600ah or how does this work with lithium battery?

bassdow:
almost (if not most) [MPPT] charge controllers have profile for Lithium batteries.

probably they didn't remember or they didn't know. Even professionals sometimes makes mistakes. only that atimes, mistakes could bbe costly

Jirilistic:
Yes the mains blinks when there's nepa light but the charge indicator doesn't come on anymore.the inverter still works Sha but it doesn't charge with nepa only sun

Bb007:
Greetings everyone, Please has anyone used this brand of inverter. Any reviews on it?

mvphenryeto5:


So even tubular ba3 have 50% Did?

mvphenryeto5:


Is this ba3 satrplus better than fullriver lead acid?

Drgreatone:

Still need more options pls.. what's the ideal panel configuration with this system. Thanks
