I can guide you through the annoying problem.

Ok

ojtech8291:
Not yet, bro. Thank you for your reply. I opened it but unable to find the fault. Though it was hard to do desoldering of those FET from the board. So I have to leave it for now.

Ok, thought you got one. Was the FET the failed component?

efuro:
Yes! It is a setting problem

No! Not battery related. But snoozing means not charguing thus user may continually drain battery.
He can always equalise them later.

If you don't mind, can you drop the solution here?

ojtech8291:
My FlexMax 80 was displaying 0V and when I switched off the PV breakers and read the PV wires and they were reading fine and on it back on FM 80 started up again but still displays 0V as input. Output correctly displaying from batteries. House is powered normally thru battery bank and generator. Checked input wires : no input until I unplugged only the positive wire from the Flexmax system again and it was reading 112V. When plugged back: displaying 0V and meter shows no voltage. Trouble seems to be within FM80. Is like the PV input is shorted. I will like to know the possible component that gets shorted in order to fix it asap.
What could it be?
Thanks.

Did you later get a fix for this issue?

Malevonent:
i top up with distilled water.
lemme explain better, a 12v fla battery has 6 cells, i notice in mine, 2 or 3 of these cells will go down and need topping up before the other cells in the same battery need topping up.

in a normal battery, all cells should go down at the same time, and need topping up same time. mine isnt so

Oh, I see. Mr Niyi just said what I had wanted to say.

Malevonent:
what could be the cause and solution.
some cells in my flooded mecury 12v 220ah battery, need topping up before others, i top them up 2 or 3 times...before i top up the others.
has anyone expereienced this and what is the possible cause and remedey

What are you topping it up with? And when do you too it up?

The troll's food is attention....

Ok, now watch how they'll work to prevent the outbreak from further affecting other citizens.

NiyiOmoIyunade:
Loads are 2 1hp ACs and 1 1.5hp AC + a microwave and Freezer and Fridge and Water Dispenser always on. At night we power down to 2 1hp ACs only - the 1.5hp is always off at night.

With the crazy high temperatures, running ACs is no longer a luxury, I overheard someone say he spends 4k daily running generator to power his AC. The heat no be small thing. Keep the flag flying.

Have a wonderful day my people

That AE thingy is somehow. An order that I've placed for over 3 weeks has remained unshipped till now.

I've had to open trade dispute for some other items that have not arrived and the purchase protection had ran out.

I understand their constraint, really and even I myself will wanna be careful about getting stuffs from there after I experienced some episode of flu around early January when I took delivery of some (like 12 large parcels) items. I didn't have a face mask on or used gloves. The only conscious IPC protocol I observed was to avoid touching my face with my hands thru and also made sure to wash my hands when I was thru with opening the parcels. But a week later, I experienced the type of sore throat and catarrh that I haven't had in a long time, even with serious headaches. I was scared and literarily avoided families and friends for the 10 days that I had that flu.

It may just be the ordinary flu that comes with the hash harmattan but hey, I had reasons to link the parcels to the flu one week after, in my own mind o.

I read that parcels from China being a vehicle for the transmision of the Covid-19 is very remote, but I won't take chances either.

Even sellers are super slow to respond to questions asked. The COVID-19 has really dealt a heavy blow to China's commerce and industry. You'll be lucky to have goods bought shipped under a week. I have one pending for the last 15 days, I can't cancel as there is no other store selling it. Shopping now is now for the extreme patient people. Things now move at a snail's pace. But if your country is under quarantine, that is to be expected

Who's this fellow?

So if I decided to have my whole roof covered with solar panels is it anyone's business but mine?

Rubbish.


Her clothes is psychiatric hospital uniform


The hospital might her dropped her off if her family members abandoned her.

The only explanation that made sense here!

solasola:
But now i have upgraded to a 2.2kw array,a 60amp pmw, and a 24v/ 200ah setup.

ojeysky:
Why not MPPT, with such an array I suggest you use MPPT controller instead. The performance will shock you when compared to pwm.

I agree with ojesky, you are better off with an MPPT SCC. That way you get to maximize your 2.2kv PV array's yield. Welcome to the green club

The money man!

ceaser:
Believe me. If you consider the benefit, the years of faithful, near constant power delivery and the juice you get outta lithium and juxtapose it with what you get from lead acid chemistry (except lead carbon, I suppose), the price will not be a set back.

Besides the affordability of lithium is improving by the day. Thanks to Asian manufacturers. If it were to be only Pylontech that is in the market, lithium will still remain a pipe dream for many.

The Americans may give you quality at neck breaking prices, but the Asians give you more options of quality based on your pocket. The end game is they drive price down and eventually you get quality at par with what the Americans offer at affordable price.

Yeah, I echo the same sentiments too. Lithium batteries is the future, special thanks to Chinese for making it possible for many to enjoy the benefits of this awesome battery technology without breaking the bank

Suddenly Nigerian police now have fuel to travel long distance to arrest someone on "tips" that he is using military uniform? Sweet! But when it comes to something serious like arm robbery intervention, happening behind their station, their vehicle won't have any fuel and their guns suddenly will be out of bullets. These guys think we are stupid!

ojeysky:
Yup similar concept different branding

True

spartacus11:
Lithium taking over, since the big Boss are now moving to lithium, lead acid will now be cheaper for beginners like us to buy

Win win for everybody

Taking over is just for some peeps on this thread, as it stands over 99.9% still rocking their lead acid. The reasons tend from the pricing, availability, and of course lack of the knowledge of the technology.

ojeysky:
Anyone considering a DIY may find this interesting: https://www.electriccarpartscompany.com/Fortune-100Ah-Aluminum-Encased-Battery

Oh yeah, or you may just buy from the manufacturer in China

NiyiOmoIyunade:
Brand new (sealed in box)

By an happy accident I find I now have 19kw of panels available as I migrated to Lithium.

Happy to see the way we are gradually going lithium

Well done.

TaminaliaCatapa:
They have probably paid S.eun to remove it. It was on front page earlier

Well, that's intriguing...

TaminaliaCatapa:
I write this with heavy sadness in my heart, tears literally rolling down my cheeks when I read through this very post:

https://www.nairaland.com/5698809/how-chinese-company-palmpay-ruined

The thread you quoted has disappeared. Any idea why that should happen?

careytommy37:
Now now?

Women should be advised its never safe to live alone.
Ever!

If the guys were armed, is there any difference not living alone would've made?

I want something inexpensive. My ma hardly watches TV so it is a waste to setup something large. I just want her to have light 24/7 and have means of powering TV if she decides to watch TV.

You want two things that may be hard to get: 24/7 power supply and very cheap hardly go together. Try the 99k package, may just be what you need. Just know you always get what you pay for in renewable energy, if you pay too cheap you always get what you paid for in terms of it being unable to serve you properly. Just my two cents, as always let's wait for the experts

Topmost11:
Thanks. I visited the link and was able to update myself. I saw it at a friends house and thought of buying for my mum due to it's compact nature. But 24ah battery? That is too small for 32" TV for a pensioner who will watch TV for long.

You better off buying, say luminous 12v inverter about 50k with one 200ah battery at say between 70-90k. I guess it can serve or buy the 99k Luminous Delite Package

Renforce:
Thanks boss!
The amps and mixer is about 1800W, additional load to this won't exceed say 300w

The Speakers are in pairs (4sets). Then there's one big PROEL combo speaker, 2 feedback speakers on the altar and 2 more for the instrumentalists. That's about it.

Initially I estimated 10kvA for the whole church but because of funds I was asked to just cater for the equipments and maybe like 3 industrial fans and about 6 light points. In view of this I'm thinking of using 5kva of which the equipments must be covered.

Would that work?

How about separating these loads you want to power with the inverter from other loads, then measure the current drawn while putting all the equipment at it's max. Eg the highest volume for the speaker, the maximum speed for the fans, etc. Once you have this total load current, estimating the size of the inverter becomes easier. You'll need a clamp meter to make this happen. Good luck.

Topmost11:
Pls what is the make of this. And is it an inverter or? Saw it somewhere with a small inverter placed on it.

Na all these Chinko all-in-one system popularly called solar generator that has inbuilt battery, often low capacity lead acid battery, with option of solar charging and sometimes charging via mains.

Thats how keep seeing the updates I was at so so, places I can't even remember ever passing.

Cool guy, the mega thieves in Abia State with billions in their accounts, I hope they see this.

I try to be fair to the sellers, I only open dispute when all evidences indicates I'll never get my package. Eg I just opened dispute for a package I bought and was shipped in 4th December, 2019 yesterday. There was no tracking information, but I patiently waited. But I got no other option than to open dispute today to get my money back as it appears I'll never get my package.
