The only limitation now is space. Even for the two, it will be tight.

See if you can get a single 625w Jinko panel, then.

Take measurements of the space you have. Compare.
Alternative is smaller 250W panels. They actually don't take a lot of space, so you can fit in a fair number of them.

Chikach:



Do you sell this hybrid inverter and whats the price

I do not. You can order on AliExpress, though, or see if you can find a seller locally.

Danibestguy:

So, no need for me to have the nominal voltage of 240dc? Na the nominal dey gimme headache.
See this data sheet as well. According to this data sheet, I can even use the inverter with just a panel right?

Well, you wouldn't be getting the most out of your MPPT.

For example, I have a 3*580w PV setup connected in series and I'm only getting 320w on a cloudy day like this.

Your system will work, but try and add another panel at the very least. If you don't do it now, you'll still need to later on. And it'll be more expensive for you then.

Danibestguy:


Do you know any hybrid inverter with those ranges that can easily work with 2 panels? What I've been seeing is nominal voltage of 120v and above.

There are. Plenty.

For example, Powmr's datasheet for their 2kva and 3.2kva models.

ojeysky:


If he can increase his budget I will have suggested Deye

SRNE is a quality middle ground. They're the biggest Chinese inverter makers, I think. It's their budget models that companies like Powmr and Easun rebadge.

ojeysky:


Your 5m should get you the following:

48v 280AH lifepo4 battery
5kw Growatt or SMS hybrid inverter
6x580w jinko
Connection accessories

Hello Guyz,
I just needed a professional opinion on this.
I currently have a 12V system with 1000W(4X250) PV in use for about 3years connected to 2 220AH tubular with a 60A CC.
Experience has been good but I'm thinking of upgrading to a Hybrid system. Reasons been that I want to do it in phases myself.
Base on the research in this thread i was able to drill down to the following hardwares:

SMS Hybrid Inverter 2kva/ 2000W 12V (Mppt 80A)
625W X 4 Jinko PV due to space.

However, based on my research, I'm skeptical about the inverter ability to handle the energy from the panel or go the route of upgrading to a 24V system with 120A CC with same amount of panels due to space.

My questions are:
1. Has anyone used that Inverter and whether it can stand test of time.
2. Based on the ratings I've seen for the inverter being 4000W for PV, with it be able to handle future PV addition.
3. Would you advice upgrade the system to a 24V system with 120A CC.

NB: Everything is within a budget and can't exceed but has been prioritized.

All opinions are welcome.

Upgrade to 24v.

Which one be Ozoro again
All these relabelled products from China no go wound us.
We go soon soon see Odogwu battery and panels

Maybe na Ozoro polytechnic boys couple am

Dam5reey1:


You can get 24V 3.2KA, 2.9KW from Sako. At similar price or even less, I just completed an installation of such

How's that battery performing? Almost bought a unit from them last week.

abuzz33:


Inverter - 1m
Battery - 3m
Panels - 2m

Not a 5m solution.

Close enough, though. Can do 10 panels instead, plus the 10kwh battery if the budget is absolutely fixed.

kwende:
Experts in the house, kindly suggest what complete solar solution I can get with the following

Buy what you need from Fouani Store and HMSolar.

Olumighty123:
Please who has 6 metre solar cable to give out please? If for sale too I don't mind. How much is 6mm electrical cable now? Help biko?

Anywhere between 3500-3800 per yard in my location.

luvlyoracle:
Anyone here used this hybrid inverter before??
Looking to get th 1.2kw 24v has toroidal transformer
It’s a hsi plus hybrid

Please get a standalone + MPPT.

Ferdiwar:
Thank God I bought mine when I did.

After it was delivered on Monday it went out of stock that was when I knew something is cooking backend with the raise in exchange rate few days ago.

One thing I've come to understand in this present economy, if you need anything and the funds are available just close your eyes and get them cause things they occur now.

Same here, they just delivered mine an hour ago. Glad I didn't wait.

Fouani has increased prices again due to the dollar rate (which has already fallen back to around 1200

580w Jinko panels was 156k days ago, now it's 172k.

mctfopt:
Between LG Inverter AC, Hisense Inverter AC and Thermocool GenPal Inverter AC, which amongst these three has the lowest consumption of wattage? I'm looking at the 1HP capacity.

LG Dual Inverters are excellent, and I hear Thermocool GenPal is even better.

Hisense, well idk. They're apparently not great. I'll test mine and post results later.

Deluxe8000:
which 12v inverter can one buy that will carry a normal 80w ac fridge effortlessly without short circuit?

Well, it's just 80w. Any inverter will suffice.

Re-introducing the 3000W EASun Pure Sine Wave inverter (12V/24V)

Price: 94,000

Youtube link video shows the inverter powering an inductive electric cooker, pressing iron, microwave, washing machine, deep freezer, etc


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YgbL4Lw_Bw

Key Features:
- Peak power 3000w; Continuous 1500w
- Offgrid (no charging function. you need an external charger for your batteries). Recommendation avalable
- Consumes very low power (<5w) from your batteries to invert, so you will get more backup time from your batteries
- Protection against overload. It only trips off with an alarm sound and light when overloaded, but returns to normal working when you switch off and on again.
- Protection against surges from sparks, partial contacts and reverse polarity connections

TechGeek777:


Previous policy drafted to reduce exchanged rate has gone south by the cabals, forget what you see on TV, this country na God go fit save us.

There's underground plan for it to hit 1800/$

If the OGAs at the top want it to be 400/$ it's 100% possible, but you can't close a system you are benefiting from.

Beer parlor talk tbh.

QuoteJust1nce:


Thats going sub-kernel. I also gave example of 200A that doesn't do sh!t when touched. So i know what you mean.
Amps, voltage, resistance etc all play a part. But for now let's leave it at amps.
That's why we would majorly watch out for amps and rarely internal resistance of the wire or the body itself coming in contact, etc; at least for non-industrial installs
Drops mic!

Fair enough.

QuoteJust1nce:


I thought my take was self-explanatory. Medical experts say as little as 0.007A for three seconds is enough to end you. So it's the amps that kill. It's the same "amps" travelling through an undersized wire that would start a fire. But then the amps require enough force to push them through. That's why your typical lead-acid battery of 200A doesn't do sh!t to you when you touch both terminals with your bare hand. It's just 12V DC. Be careful though on your quest for "a more lethal way to go"; and don't go touching naked terminals unless you feel like donating your cadaver for the advancements of human science.

Electrical engineer here, it's not exactly "the amps that kill".

That's a surface-level take on the matter. There are plenty of factors that determine lethality, not purely current.

Styropyro has a good video on the subject titled "Is it the volts or amps that kill?"

At the end of the day, just stay away from live conductors.

EduTechTainMent:


Nah. Just their LiFePO4 batteries.

Would you recommend them?

Ayomipoe:
In my opinion, I think it is physics.
Traditionally, Satellite internet has always been slow because typically an ISP usually has like 1 space dish that covers your whole continent. The radio waves are sent from your own device to the space dish, then relayed to the ground station of the ISP which then connects you to the internet and forwards the response to you via the same loop.
Starlink changed the game by only bringing the space stations closer, this fixed the download side. However instead of 1 single dish in a fixed location, you now have thousands orbiting the sky and your own equipment is now responsible for tracking those stations in the sky.
The weak link is how the information is being sent and received via the space stations. Hence why any small rain, the internet will go crazy and often times go offline.

Fair enough.

EduTechTainMent:


You would loose your money brotherly. Lolz. It's way beyond that. Gets up to 50Mbps when downloading. What you want to say is bytes per second Bps and bits per second bps. 1Byte = 8bits.

That is more than enough for most people's use case. I use it to stream on multiple TV screens at once without any buffering in between. Seamless experience I must add, so far.

Well, they advertise mbps, not MBps. That's megabit, not Megabyte.

Ayomipoe:
Rush to buy Starlink has sold theirs?
Abeg this one is not factual. If you know anyone who is selling their used device, it's either they are gamers and they already have access to networks with high ping or they are content creators that need access to high upload speeds.

You are comparing Starlink to the older satellite technologies, that one cannot fly.
See my speed test this morning and it is currently drizzling, a scenario that affects the speed.
[URL=https://www.speedtest.net/result/16166069138][IMG]https://www.speedtest.net/result/16166069138.png[/IMG][/URL]

People are not rushing to sell their Starlink o bros, na scarce commodity.

Why's Starlink upload speed always awful?

Dam5reey1:


Only advantage here for Starlink id reliability, most users are fine with 20mbps. You dont need more than that for entertainment usage, Starlink 100mbps is overkill..

Your Airtel router can be moved around, Starlink is not.

20mbps isn't 20MBps.

You're essentially capped at 2.5MBps, and I'm willing to bet it's lower than that most of the time. Don't see why any serious internet user would limit themselves to such pitiful speeds.

Obnoxious2001:

Avoid that gennex inverter

Bad experiences?

How solid are Gennex hybrid inverters? They're apparently rebadged units from Axpert.

Obnoxious2001:
Please this is urgent.

Can a 1.5hp AC (inverter AC) run on a 2.5kva inverter.

Would the inverter be able to even start concerning the surge

Depends on the brand. Considering energy tests done here, LG's Dual Inverter should be fine as long as the inverter isn't already loaded.

As for Hisense and the other Chinese brands, tread with caution, I'd say.

Also, all inverters aren't built equally from what I've heard.

Mavor:
Withold info where? LOL!! Interpret as you like. Multiple places besides Nairaland to get what I seek. No qualms.

Why don't you just go to those places instead?

Some earlier models are, quite honestly, junk. The late 00's Edge and Focus, for example. That led to a poor reputation, which in turn has led to low demand.

samnaija:


Thank God you have changed your mind. Voc is followed according to the cc specifications. If by chance you pass this specifications, some low end cc like power mr will give the magic blue smoke.
While some other slightly highhend cc will just show error eg fangpusion, epiever till you correct it.

Yep.
