I saw a big yellow truck some time ago with NIPOST/SPEEDAF inscription on it, if both collab, how come SPEEDAF packages arrived faster than NIPOST and no "handling charges" by SPEEDAF? huh

Good day sir, here I am again. So it happens that I took the inverter to the factory and they fixed it, I then set it up back and after a few weeks the short circuit fault displayed again. I checked through the cable, everything looks good, except for the voltage reader that displays between 80 to 150 to 180, it doesn't go beyond 180, could this be the problem to this persisting short circuit fault? I mean the steady fluctuating of the electricity supply? Thank you for your input 🙏
The 80 to 150 to 180v is that the input voltage reading? If yes, get a good AVR.

Good day to all my Oga in the house. I'm currently having an issue with a new SMS LiFe PO4 battery. After installation, it shows a red (ALM) light when I power it ON. Even when it is connected to the felicity charge controller, it doesn't get charged. Instead the charge controller shows error...

Please what could be the cause and how to fix it?
Check if there is a reset button. If there is, try resetting it. What's the SOC display on the inverter? Does it take charge or discharge?;

Every laborer deserves his wages. Because many of us are DIY, we tend to take for granted that there is a lot of work involved in solar installations.
Sometimes after spending hours designing a solution for a person, the person may now give the job to another person.

The worst part about solar is that from the time you install, any electrical problem in that house will be transferred to the installer since it is assumed that he was the last person to have worked on the electrical systems in the house.

Before you know it, the small profit you made will be spent going back to that house to resolve issues.
I'm 100% in agreement. Even old fault you get called upon. Roof leak in part you have nothing to do gets transferred to you too. It's crazy the amount of things that could go wrong that are attributed to the installer. Every other visit is not paid for.

I read about the effects of in-rush current and the damages it can cause to inverters, I opened my battery to confirm that it was fitted with a pre charged resistor grin.

Good morning guys please I need your advice on this please I open dispute for refund money.
What the saler send to me was different from Wat I ordered.
It laptop accessories and the item send to me was not fit into My laptop slots.
Some good guys from this group advice me to do video of everything and pictures as part of my prove which I did.
They first reply me that No refund.
I now resend them 3 different videos with alot of pictures as proof again.
The saler just message me now that I should cancel the dispute and they will resend the item..
I have never requested for refund on AliExpress before it My first time, hope the saler is not trying to Play smart here ?
Anybody that have experience about this type of My own issue should pls advise me too
So guys please advise me on what to do.
God bless you All
Don't cancel dispute. Seller may just ignore you. Open another dispute with more evidence.

The price is high, in my opinion. I'll rather buy a brand new 10kw SRNE Hybrid inverter than buy a used 8kva Victron for that amount.

Whats the worst that can go wrong in buying a fairly used inverter.... I mean is there anyway to check the mileage?
Open it and if you have the eye for it could see if it's the original soldering on the board or if there's an attempt on repair. Most repaired inverter often fail soon enough due to either inferior part used or wrong equivalent component used that may work for a short time. Check the transformer for signs of stress if it's a transformer based inverter. Generally look at the internals of the power board and check the state of ithe components. If it's all good, pay and hope it doesn't fail.

Quite correct about the inrush current.

Will prowse uses a pre-charge resistor too before connecting the batteries to the inverter. A cheap alternative is using a 220v/100w or 200w tungsten filament bulb instead of the resistor. In most cases, the bulb will glow slightly when connected inline with one of the battery cables. A 30second wait is usually enough to eliminate such in-rush sparks. Below a 48v tungsten bulb was used. (In absence of that, I use the 100w bulb readily available, wired with a lamp holder and 2 leads. I just hold it for longer)

https://diysolarforum.com/threads/has-anyone-solved-this-inrush-current-limiter-precharging-circuit-issue.82666/...

https://diysolarforum.com/threads/do-most-builders-users-not-use-inverter-precharge.65222/

The above link discusses the issue when the BMS shuts down for some time, and an inrush current occurs when the BMS switches on again. In this case, the external pre-charge resistor or bulb is of no help.


Hope this helps someone
I've used this bulb trick to charge up gigantic capacitors in some old school IGBT inverter. It works.

Let me cut the long story short. That was the available pv.
I was planning to use 2 pcs of 580w Junko pv but the of trouble/stress of bringing them down to Uyo from either Abuja or Lagos was too much.
As I'm typing this, I've 5 pcs of 580w Jinko pv in Abuja and I'm told to pay 30k each for the waybill.
Again, I checked and saw 580w pv in fouani store website on the 12th of last month and I made payment for 5 pcs. The following day, I was called and told that the 580w was out of stock. There was no higher watt pv and my customer didn't want to go for a lower watt pv.
I called for a refund and I was told to go my bank and apply for charge back. I went and applied and my bank later told me the money is already in the fouani store account that there's nothing the bank can do.
I called fouani customer service and I was told to wait. They later called me that the money was refunded to my account on Monday this week. I checked my app and I didn't see it. I will still go back to my bank and print account statement.
I will NEVER EVER buy anything from fouani store again. The stress of getting a refund is unbearable
Had similar experience with Konga, it took me like forever to get my refund. Will never shop at Konga again.

Any one here has real life experience with mono and polycrystalline solar panels?
Any difference in real time usage?
Can it be recommended to buy at this point
With current tech, if space is not an issue poly and mono PVs are same. One, mono, just takes less space for same wattage. What should be more important is the MAKE of PV.

People in the house, I have heard a lot about bitnob so I decided to give it a try, but my problem is about funding my account because I am not familiar with the BTC stuff, please what's the common way of funding a bitnob account
Click on "Deposit" and click on "Fund with local currency" Type in the amount you want to fund. Click continue. It'll take you on a page with a bank account and amount in naira to pay into the account. Pay into this account using YOIR bank account and click "I have made payment.". Within moments thr USD amount would be credited on your walle, mmɲ go to Cards to top up.
