@kadorzy I think used the junior brother of outback before, maybe he can chime in here... really I do think it's absurd and strange for such a CC to behave that way.

Please Guys, I need your inputs on this.

I installed a MUST 3KW/24V hybrid inverter yesterday but both utility and Gen can't charge the batteries except solar.

The inverter output is off with utility available which is supposed to be charging only but the icons for supplying loads from battery is what is displaying instead of Grid to battery. Tried using the generator and it was same.

Charge priority settings is : SnU ( Solar and Utility)
Input Voltage is set to: APP (Appliance 90-280V)

Anyone be it MUST/Not of Hybrid experienced this at first and how it was resolved ?

kadorzy:


Techfine batteries is a very good option on the budget. I have used them in several of my installations. Simply follow the general do's and don't for SMF batteries and you will just be fine with them.

For the prices you can still get much better deals that quoted above.

saint2ace:


No one seems to be talking about the batteries, Which one be techfine batteries again?, for the same amount, you can get original fullriver batteries and have rest of mind....

earthrealm:

So the following have indicated interest.

1. odimbannamdi

Lets reply with proposed sizr of batt bank required.
We can wait till say 10days time to see if more people would join.meanwhile, we can choose our cordinator and co cordinator..
We can then take it off forum and finetune detals

ceaser:


Thanks.

What's approximate size of the room d'you use it for?

ceaser:




Earthrealm said his works just fine.

This one we are getting different reviews. Na wa o.

I currently have 9 (250W) panels in a 3S3P config mated to a Fangpusan 150V-70A charge controller on a 48V battery bank. I am thinking of adding 3 additional panels to this. Which is it safer for the CC - to have the panels in 4S3P OR 3S4P configuration?

Would have preferred the 4S3P as the cables I have already run can take the additional panels and I wouldn't want to be running additional cables to my cc.

ojeysky:
For the first time I have a need to charge my batteries via generator but for some strange reason my 3024GK is not accepting the input from generator.

It recognises the voltage and frequency by displaying the icon of current on the inverter screen but there is no charging icon and bypass icon. Has anyone experienced this on their inverter before?

babniyen:

I have a similar set up and I just added a dispay to my CC. I would like to know what your daily readings are cos I don't understand mine. My panels are 250W connected 2S 3P. Please can someone explain what the readings should be for a good install.

adrusa:


I will certainly be glad to share my flow if I understand how it may help you. Node-red on home assistant is a great automation setup. I was using electronic timers, but I have replaced them all with esp based switches. Makes my home easy to manage.

essegis:


Try solar water heater.
It's not advisable to put your water heater on inverter whether they charge fast or not. Just my 2 kobo.

JaySterling:
Thanks

My battery was showing 22.5V on the charge controller

I thought the scale was from 0-29

Didn’t know it was 23V-29V


So if 22.5V is very low

Then how about 24v, 25v, 26v and 27v

I need to understand the scale properly

Which one is low and which one is average

ojeysky:


Option 1 is not a bad idea so long as your neighbor will see value in it and ofcourse your fence light for security is good but won't be useful during the day.
Other options is to add to your battery bank and Run your cooling systems

mctfopt:


Run those heavy equipment at that time: washing machine, freezers, a/c (if your system can handle that) etc during that period or get larger battery bank to keep those solar panels really busy

mank1234:


Option 1 is okay. You don't need fence lights during the day.
Or
You can pump and make water available for your neighborhood.
You can run ac with the excess power.
You can boil water for later use.
You can increase your storage capacity.

My people, una happy new month oo...

Abeg una sabi any reliable solar installer in Akure...?

Thanks

olopan:
Please i need some honest review on "Britelite Batteries" anyone who has used or bought it for client or personal use, please do state so now.

ojeysky:
Okay it seem shading is the problem; there is an electric pole beside my panels that seem to cause the problem. Can any of the gurus advice on how I can get to fix this? is there anything like shading reflector or something?
I can't even think of relocating the panels and I don't think relocating the like will help much either.
I really need to find a workaround to this as I have been under-utilizing my array.

ojeysky:


GenPal secured will hopefully get through with installation this week but will only be able to provide some useful info next week. That said I checked my log today and was at 2.7kwh by 11am and the system did 5.2kwh on Friday, which is the highest have done so far. Will see how far it goes with at least 3hrs constant GenPal load from next week.

Cheers!

ojeysky:


I guess that will show that, the Panels/controllers does not need to be the expensive big names to serve well
