Can anyone recommend a good standalone 12v 1.5kva inverter.

Ur WhatsApp number?

toscotech:
I have for sale

Who has powmr CC for sale.
Its needed for an urgent installation

Message me on WhatsApp

Gshems:
please can you walk me through how to get the buck converter and fan then how to connect it

Ur panel is clear a high voltage low amp pairing a pwm with it is a bad decision, get mppt n hope Ur panels are facing south n there's space for air under Ur panel

Gshems:
This sounds a bit technical.. Tho I just checked and it looks like a viable option but too technical for me

Since u got 300w panel just get mppt join since u don get plan for future expansion. 300w is not ok for 12v system with pwm unless u can get a 20a buck converter, install it with cooling fan n place it between Ur panel n pwm.

Gshems:
Good evening my bosses.. So I set up a 12v system that comprises of
1. 12v 1000w sachet inverter
2. 1 100ah battery

But in getting a solar panel I got 320 watt solar panel for future upgrades opportunities..
And I am using a pwm 30amps charge controller.

Problem come dey.. I don't get more than 4.5a from my solar panel. Which is not enough to charge my battery talk less of giving me enough power to use during the day...

Please my bosses what is the most cost effective way for me to go. I need my battery charged and also have enough head room to use a fan at least.. Please I need your inpits

Snap Ur charge controller datasheet, Ur 300w panel sticker n 500w panel sticker.

jikaseo:
Can I use a 550w Jinko panel alongside 4pcs of already existing 300w panels?

Nothing u can do If u series it. Ur 580 will function as 475. U can't parallel it either it cauz of Ur CC. It's high PV.

kristien4:
Hello at the @bassdow and other bosses in the house. Pls can i put these panels in series. Isc current of the 580w is higher than the max isc of the inverter which is 13A. I was hoping the isc of the 475w which os 11A will drag down the isc of the 580w which is 14.7A. Is it possible??

No
It's a complete BMS but non smart
Buy if it's still in stock of d seller might b old price

isangjohnson:
Please, someone should check this product for me.
Is it a smart bms?
Is this a complete Jbd bms?
It's too cheap to be real.

Cheapest is 90-100k

Gshems:
Decided to go with a 300watt panel but does any one know if I can get a mppt charge controller less that 40k?

Don't no what kind of system u want or d size of ur load, ur location will determine cost of materials but u can get some items off this thread
Lifepo4 battery from Valto
Jinko panel, I'm sure u must av notice someone posting that here
SPD MCB DB n cables from zeestone
Etc

guente02:
Could you give an estimate and breakdown of what this would cost, more specifically the inverter, cc and panels?

Or if d money dey buy mppt with 2 300w cause of future upgrade

Gshems:
Thanks for the reply

It will charge it but it's won't b optimal. He won't get anything close to 300w going into d battery. Max e'll get is 145w.
Mppt is a DC to DC converter. ie converts volts to amps but ur panel must b at certain voltage b4 this is done. My CC mppt working voltage is 35v. Some 300w panel underload will give like 31v 9a, for a 12v system that 31v will b cut off to 14.5(bulk voltage) n 9a which is like 130w, same thing goes if he's using pwm. But if 2 is in series, mppt kicks in n convert d excess volts. So u'll av close to ur panel capacity.
Imagine 9a going into d battery at the same time supply small load on d inverter.
If d CC is pwm n it's 12v system best is those 180/190w panel with 9a or 10a isc in parallel.

Obnoxious2001:
I no know book, but why can't 1 300w solar panel can't charge a 100A battery??

Na work I learn I no go school explain give me abeg let me understand

Buy 2 180/190 watt panel with 10a isc n put them in parallel den connect that to ur pwm

Gshems:
actually I plan to use a 30a pwm charge controller. I don’t use it for heavy load. Just a fan and charging my laptop when it is low. Please, with my current system. How do you advise me to proceed? Tho, I won’t be using the system for long cos I plan to change my inverter and increase my battery as money Dey show. But right now I need Solar to charge my system so I won’t on gen to always charge

Hey Guys

I'm planning to set up a solar power system to charge two 24V, 150Ah batteries during 8 hours of sunshine.
I intend to use a 24V hybrid inverter. I tried SMK but it packed up in months.
Can you suggest the specific components I'll need to buy, along with their ratings, to achieve this?

Efficiently? Yes but it will charge nonetheless
I may agree with the person cause
1. Ure on a 12v system n ur panel working voltage will likely b below d required voltage that's needed for ur mppt to work(thats if ur CC is mppt), so ur mppt will function like pwm
Are u using a lead acid battery? If yes, ur battery won't get to float with just 1 300w n u will soon start noticing capacity drop

Gshems:
Please people, I have a 1000 watt sachets inverter and 100ah battery. I want to get Solar panel for this system but I am being told a 300watt panel can’t charge the battery efficiently. How true is this?

Ur BMS should be able to cut out charging d moment 1 cell hit 3.65

Abiono28:
Pls house, where can I get 12v 20a LFP charger?
Also i have a yohako inverter with inbuilt charger but i was told it will overcharge the battery. Is there a way to circumvent this ?
Note the battery has bms

@BlueStripper

Jefferyzz:
What is your bulk and float charging voltage on ur charge controller
u used to av a sealed lead acid now u own a flooded battery.
I assumed u didn't change the charging profile.
U series 2 180w(say 36v 10a) then parallel them with 540w(41v 13a).
U will putting 36v 23a(828w max) through ur cables(6mm).
All these are assumed figure, I no africell don't perform up to the stated capacity.

Here is where u should suspect foul play.
Ur CC displaying 900w max is misleading I'll advise u get a DC meter to know the true figure
If ure using 6mm cable (assumed) n d length is above 10meters. U will experience voltage drop
u won't get up to that 36v
Check d body of ur battery if there is a c rating written on it.
Most lead acid are charged at 10-20% of their capacity.
D cable between ur CC n battery too should b 23mm since ure moving 60a into d dem.

Good Morning Everyone,

My apologies for the confusion. I was so angry yesterday.

I have an independent lithium setup that's different from the lead acid setup. Each setup has its specific load assigned to it.

Like I said, I decommissioned the Fullriver batteries because they have served me for many years. I wanted a longer runtime so I switched to Tall Tubular Batteries.

My panels are 1pcs of 560 watts generic solar panel and 2 Pcs of 180 watts Africell solar panels connected in 2S1P array configuration.

For charging, sometimes I get over 900 watts of energy from the panel at full sunlight. And over 60amps from the CC to these batteries.

I believe I have answered all the questions asked.

Thank you so much

Yh. He stated that

bassdow:
From what I understand, He's bought the panels already. He's asking after buying them, not before

Yes

solareclips:
Goof evening all
Please can i connect 30ah 24v felicity CC to 24v bat3 that had been connected to 24v hybrid with 100a mppt Cc

Nah weitin e dey sell

toscotech:
Are you selling it

If yes where is the location

I don't understand this part

BlueStripper:
These batteries are always charged full before the evening by my 2s1p solar array setup 560amps (parrallel) and 180amps x2 (series) array.

Use multimeter to check d terminal sef. Aw many volt e dey show

futurenix:
Nothing like breaker,just the On/Off switch.

Well d battery dey under warranty. u fit return am

futurenix:
Nothing like breaker,just the On/Off switch.

Sheybi e get circuit breaker for side. Put it on

futurenix:
Good evening all
Has anyone encountered the new felicity 10kwh lithium battery switching on normally with battery voltage and percentage displaying but no voltage at the terminals?
Charge controller detects no battery connected.
If yes, pls how did you resolve it

Exactly

mctfopt:
Installer doesn't even have to bring it down, can only remove it and snap the specs on the roof.

Check d controllers Manuel for the error info

Jirilistic:
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

Buy lifepo4 165a or above battery here instead of those lead acid that's inside the 2 list
Infact buy all the parts listed here urself den call Dem ova n pay installation fee.
U won't get best material with what both of Dem have listed for u eg see pwm CC. U can get 60a mppt for 100k here
Get 2 550w panel for 155k each
Buy 1.5kw psw sachet inverter here 4 too
Buy the time u add them up u'll see uve not spent up to 1.3m with better n quality materials.

Joyprime:
My location we hardly see NEPA light. It's been months since the last time.

I need to power

140 watts Hisense deep freezer (1)

80 watts 50" LG smart TV (2)

80watts fan (2)

GoTV (2)

85 watts Sound Bar (1)

5 watts bulbs (6)

I can run the freezer 5 hours daily. It's enough to serve till next day.

I work from home so always at home.

An installer gave me a quotation of N1,342,000
All Felicity products

400w solar panel 2pieces 12500 each=250000
200ah battery 2pieces 260000 each=520000
Inverter 1.7kva=250000
Chargecontroller 30ah 28v =120000
And other installing accessories152000
Workman 50000
Total=1342000

Another installer 👇🏼

400watts mono-75k (foreign used)

200ah Altimate Batteries= 220k

Inverter 2.5kva 24v mopower = 280k

Charge controller 30A = 85k

Another installer asked me to use Foreign used panels and inverter with new lithium battery.

At this stage I'm confused, reasons I got here.

Been doing research online and found this thread.

Pls I need guide from gurus in the house so I don't make a mistake.

I'm ready to do the installation this week if I'm convinced on the best solution.

Resident in Uyo Akwa Ibom State

Ask ur installer to bring down 1 panel first, check d spec n use the info provided in our previous conversation to make ur decision. Nothing confusing, u fit just pay d installer more for d added stress, it's not something that can't b done.

toscotech:
Just confused

That’s why i come online to research for knowledge

Oh. Den let d installer do wats best

toscotech:
They have installed the 200w last month i can't check the label again



Just bought the 250w today am thinking of calling installer to come do that tomorrow

Series connection - adds up voltage n picks lowest amperage in an array
Parallel - adds up d amperage n picks lowest voltage. Use this along side ur CC spec to arrive at d best decision.
Check ur 200w panel name plate for d info

toscotech:
I don't understand you sir


I don't know the 200w configure
