Your watt meter is meant to be connected to the source socket on the wall, that way you can measure the energy with and without your energy saving device.

On the other hand, you also need a clamp meter and stranded cable for connections, so that you can clamp the cables between the energy saving device and the source wall socket, then the connected appliance.

You can also use 2 watt meter for the same test, one on the wall and one behind your energy saving device.

Do this and we proceed from there.

You came to the wrong thread, go after some naïve and newbies, perhaps you can sell. But on this thread, we know way more than you think.
Anything that doesn't provide non-dependence on Grid and Gen might not sell here.
If you ain't got a video demonstration with known apparatuses, then you must be bluffing.

From the picture you posted, this is not Felicity IVPS model, because IVPS Models does not have integrated MPPT. IVPM Models does have inbuilt MPPT and your picture does not look like the IVPM model. See links to the IVPM3524, IVPM3548, IVPS3524 and IVPS3548 below.
Attached pictures in order 1&2 are IVPM, 3&4 are IVPS.

Be careful to inspect the product physically before paying for it. There exist a lot of Clones / Copies / Look a Likes, what ever da hell they are called.

I honestly don't understand these queries about idle power consumption from people. You have to understand that every Inverter or converter as the name may imply must consume some power while doing what it's named to be (CONVERT or INVERT) and powering internal components. Don't base your choice of a product on the question you just asked otherwise you might end up with a system that is not efficient or worse case end up with a fake product.

If you must know, a 2% to 5% of system capacities are pre-allocated for internal components and self consumption.
While some manufacturers tend to mention this, some don't. Fr example, when a manufacturer says EFFICIENCY=97% it simply means that 3% remaining will account for Self Consumption.

At least buy genuine product and have peace. There are loads of other questions you should be asking about products.

olatade:
Good morning everyone

Does anyone know the idle power draw of this inverter.

It's a felicity 3.5 kva ivps inverter

The bolded claims are false sir,

They use grid tied compatible systems which sells back your excess energy back into the grid, Stand alone system does not feed back into the grid.

It is their Inverter that makes this possible contrary to your claim that their inverter does almost nothing. The Inverter converts that excess solar energy to Alternating Current that can be fed back into the grid.

The rotational utility meters does not have bi-directional energy flow capabilities, They have meters that allows energy to flow in both directions in which when you are consuming energy, your account depletes, when you are feeding back energy, your account gets credited, In some countries, you can actually get paid into your bank account from your Grid Energy Feeding,
Since the cost of energy i very expensive in many countries, many people aim to take advantage of these systems and contracts to make money from energy instead of spending on energy.
So after the account is settled, if you have excess, you get paid. All this happens during contract agreements

samnaija:
Abroad uses hybrid inverter and also use standalone.

Even why compare abroad with us, their heavier load is connected to grid .

They connect their system with the grid, if their system is making or generating excess power it turns their utility meter backwards hence they are suppling to the grid .

When their system is under performing the grid or utility is used. So please why compare we in Nigeria to them. Their inverter virtually does nothing.
But in Nigeria here without grid, same inverter water heater, pumping machine and ac.

I'm yet to see a Nigerian who thinks that External CCs are waste of Time and Money in the present day Renewable Energy Systems.

Can your charge controller invert DC to AC when your separate Inverter becomes faulty?, Of what use exactly will your Charge controller be at the point in time?

Please answer sincerely. Except of course you want to tell us about how you can still power your DC gadgets. But outside this, please educate us further.

Obnoxious2001:
Is when your hybrid inverters develop faults that you appreciate the stand alone.

Any little fault on hybrid inverter you are look at almost 100k on repair.
Besides you are left completely stranded if you don't have a redundancy plan.
(if you dey this ship go and make plans down storm is coming )

So if you do a comparative cost check, transformer based are cheaper over time



Cable lose is not a factor of Inverter but rather associated devices / application.

Even the HF inverter require you size the wires adequately.

I will still maintain my stand point, a lot of good product exists in the market, but no body is willing to use their money to test them.

So test brand/names make more money onces they cross the threshold.

Unfortunately you and I are from a continent where our leaders are blind, In Asia, more than 70% of their vehicles are full electric vehicles, They use all manner of turbines and solar panels as renewable energy sources. Europe and America are gradually following same route.

Solar Panels that uses moon light are been developed and tested since a year now. Banner or Trampoline Panels are already in existence.

The modified spring torque electric motor generator has not gained popularity because despite generating free energy, It makes some noise while at it.

For our region, we currently rely on daytime solar energy as an alternative source of energy. Which brings us to Over sizing our systems in terms of batteries and solar panels.

This coming December will mark two years and six months I have been on Solar and Batteries, No Grid, No Gen. All household energy requirement are covered 100%.

I have been using hybrid vehicles since 2016, If you are a Hybrid Vehicle User, then you would know the peace of mind that comes with it.
My next vehicle will be full electric.

After training my kids through school, I want a situation whereby the only bill I have to pay will be TAX and VAT on transactions no paying for some damn energy that may not be cheap as time goes on.

I will advice everyone to go solar now. Energy Bills will never come down ever again !!!.

This post is not for the purpose of boasting, If God keeps me alive, I plan to attain this level of independence.

oweniwe:
I've actually been wondering if it is possible for renewal energy to take over from fossil fuels in the nearest future. But my experience with cloudy weather in August made me have a rethink

In other parts of the world where they have various climates (winter, autumn, spring, summer) ... How will they see sun in winter and autumn? Eventually they'll have to run back to using fossil fuels/thermal/other non solar sources of energy.

Solar is cool and lovely but I'll always keep gen back up for the weather

Just random chitchat.

Kind regards Boss

I respect your decision to buy land first, It's very good but don't also forget that the cost materials to develop that land will not wait around the corner till you are ready to develop it. Same goes to Solar and its likes.

Most of us who invested heavily in Solar have already became "Houses Lords" and we thought going solar should be a means of mitigating recurrent subscription based energy expenses.

One thing you should do is try to balance the savings, while you are trying to save to buy/build a house why not go solar now so that the money you would have used to pay for energy expenses will be diverted into the saving for the property of your dream.

Ithream:
I was discouraged by the prices. Moreover there is light in my area to an extent. Instead I add on top the money go buy land in one area of Ogun state. I’m now a landlord instead of a solarlord.

> Yes, wrong Size of cable due to larger current.
> Parallel connection depends on the VOC of your Inverter or Charge Controller.

chrisnando:
Good evening house

I recently installed 6 300W panel and I noticed the installer connected all panels in parallel, also he used a 4mm flex instead of 6mm.

A friend of mine came and told me everything the installer did is wrong.

Please could this be true?

I guess you meant MPP Solar Inverter

MPP Solar is an Axpert (Voltronics) Based Inverter.

MPP Solar the brand name and it's closer to Growatt than Felicity in terms of components and designs.

And yes they do have WIFI & GPRS for iOS and Android some of which are built-in, just attach the antenna and you can configure your Wifi.
Some even have detachable screen that you can just pull out and extend the cable to mount the screen where you want. For example you have a power house, you can detach the screen and mount it inside your apartment for easy monitoring.

isangjohnson:
Has anyone here used MPPT Solar Inverter? Is it in the same class as Felicity?
Does it have WIFI & GPRS available for iOS and Android?

I will advice that you don't use the bolded for High Voltage or Current deliveries. Ethernet Cables are not graded for PV Power Transmissions.

Do not endanger your devices by economizing cables.
Yet again, the choice is entirely yours.

dollarnaira:
Well, it will serve you depending on your loads.

3000w Satchet nverter + powmr cc(old version) = roughly 200k

Solar panels = 600w ( 300w ×2)
= Jinko 440w × 2 = 248k

LifePO4 12v 300k roughly.

Cable : hmmmm used 8core pure copper Ethernet cable.

Output on a good day is 16a to 26a without cable getting hot.

The above is my set up apart from the Jinko and am off-grid with sense ni oo. The most important appliance is the freezer.

So prioritize you load and enjoy free energy.

Dont copy some people here ooo these guys pluck money on trees.

Nice but the installer didn't consider heat dissipation and dust cleaning maintenance. Those Inverters are too close to each other and he had all the space on that wall to have done it better.

Thank you 🙏 my people

TCD:
How much is one felicity 17.5kwh battery please?

Also any particular reason why you are using a mix match of various panels?

Be careful what you ask for.
> The Felicity 2.5KVA that exists is IVPM2512 (12V) or IVPM2524 (24) (They are both Hybrid Transformer Inverters with inbuilt 120A MPPT) and they might be out of stock world wide except clones or refurbished.
> There's no 250W Canadian Solar Panels in production or circulation as at today, maybe in used panels though.
> Since the inverter you mentioned is a Hybrid Inverter with inbuilt 120A MPPT, why do you still need and 60A Charge Controller?
> Your choice of wire is good.

If you got this list from an Installer. Use you tongue to count your teeth.

606thearena:
Hey guys pls I need advise on how to get a trusted dealer for solar kits in Lagos or Benin .
I want one luminous batters tubular 220ah or any good Batery brand .
Felicity 2.5kva inverter
250 watts Canadian panel . 4
Felicity charge controller 60amps
Wires 6mm

Same venue for several years on? So na only Lagos State get the appropriate venue for this event?, Same question I asked last year.

It's alright na.

ojesymsym:
The 11th edition of Nigeria Energy is just around the corner, for those who complained last year that they would have loved to attend if they had been aware, well, this year by the grace of God is another opportunity.

Search for "Nigeria Energy Registration" on google to preregister.

Perhaps you should advice your brother to do a proper earth and thunder arrestor at his house and protect his electrical connections. Rather than changing boards repeatedly.

emyfine08:
sorry my brothers is inverter board 3.5kva hybrid inverter thunder strike spoiled it I have work it twice still no show somebody told me to change the board

Honestly ooo. Lagos people dey learn for this Solar switchover, I recently compared the roof tops and other types of solar installations between Lagos and Abuja, Lagos people never start at all. Almost every roof in Abuja has panels on them.

swagifted:
I sha believe say for abuja alone there should be over 50mw of combined solar systems installed.

Hehehe, Tinubu has brought this aggression upon us ooo. It was a harmless elaboration bros. E no suppose cause fight at all. No vex sir.

samir101ng:
Somebody asked a simple question, whether there was a data sheet tracking all solar installations in Nigeria and estimated the numbers to be mind boggling. I replied with two resources he can easily check online. I also gave two amongst many reasons why the number of Nigerians on those websites are low, including consistency of ensuring systems are online which speaks to No. 1 and being able to post the data online needing constant connectivity. So, i am wondering where the fight is starting that your opening statement that you decided is " You are wrong" to begin a conversation.

You got it wrong bro, the problem is that:
1. PvOutput portal requires a 3rd party device to get your data, That makes it not an Opensource Data Resource.
2. How many Nigerians could afford Victron Systems?

Despite the fact that we all need to monitor our devices, the Idea of going RE is to cut down costs of recurrent energy bills, but we end up subscribing to Data Bills to keep up with our devices.

Believe me if the Data Loggers that ships with Inverters and their DataCenters were hooked to PvOutput automatically once they are connected to the Internet, I guess the data coming from Nigeria would have been larger than we see currently.

samir101ng:
Victron has one called Victron World https://vrm.victronenergy.com/world/ and the other is PvOutput https://pvoutput.org/

Unfortunately, the number of Nigerians listed is a bit low as not everybody is consistent in ensuring their system is connected and online sharing the data. However, its an interesting read.

What is the Power Rating of your Ice Making Machine?

twinskenny:
Just did another one today ! Working perfectly well

NOTE:
Voltronics Inverters Wifi Dongles are OEM Specific.

Felicity has reconfirmed that if the Model Code 089 of your WIFI Dongle is not the same with the one on the attached picture, It will not work with Felicity Inverters.

I learnt this the hard way in 2022 when someone on this platform sold me almost 60pcs of Wifi Dongles which were not compatible with Felicity despite making it clear that I needed Felicity Wifi Modules. The most annoying thing was that they didn't even know what brand of Inverter the module they were selling is used for. It took me almost a year to sell off those modules even below cost price after I discovered they were for MUST Inverters. I still have some quantities left.

Drgreatone:
Does ur wifi module work for all types of inverter or its specific to urs?

There's nothing special about the model code that you should mask it, you can mask your QR Code but the model code tells us which OEM brand the Module is compatible with. Secondly, no one can add your module once you have added it to your own account. unless you delete it from your account. Even if someone manages to hijack your QR Code and adds it to their account, Felicity Wifi Technicians can recover it from anywhere it's been linked, you only need to prove that you are in possession of it and have a verifyable receipt of purchase.

Head on to https://voltronicpower.com/ and download the equivalent model manual.

Most of these Nigerian rebranded Inverters are Voltronic Manufactured Axpert Invrters.

Nigerian Companies and Marketers would go and get franchise to rebrand and sell locally here.

Obnoxious2001:
Please who has Ipower inverter manual.

I am trying to decode the meaning of F2 and F3 error code

Deye's All in One systems has been around since late 2022. They even have DC Air Conditioners and Water Heaters also.
They have recorded low patronage on these items because these are great systems but not budget friendly. Not for anyone that is not very prepared to go solar.

My pleasure as always.

Ferdiwar:
RESOLUTION UPDATE.

Finally I've been able to resolve the issue I was having with my inverter.

Apparently the inverter only needed a factory reset due to the software update performed on it by Deye.

Special thanks to @Jonescosmos for all the assistance and for also intervening when Mr. Fadi @ Solarco was understanding my English .

I truly appreciate you Boss.

Thanks to everyone who gave their 2 cents on my case you guys are the Best.

Oh yes they do. But the BMS on some batteries doesn't get along with this function.
Hence my unalloyed recommendation of well known brands when it comes to Inverters and Batteries but people no just dey hear word.

We will continue to preach the Gospel of Buying Genuine Products.

Ferdiwar:
I believe Deye inverters has a function that activates an over discharged battery.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
