Hello pls I want to order a screen from AliExpress. But it's my first time, I'd like to know what custom clearance is or how it works in terms of price and time.

fuckboys:
I don't think my battery go full today o. Charging at 200w now.

isentropic:
I have 12 number 440watts and 5 number 450watts Jinko panels.I will just buy additional one to make is 6 and mount all as you said.
Thanks for your input

isentropic:
Please I have a question..
I have on ground 5KvA growatts hybrid inverter,120A felicity Charge controller,15KWh felicity battery.12 jinko panels-440Watts with 5 extra 450watts jinko panels that I can use if need be.

Installer one said 12 panels on 120A cc and 6 panels on inverter itself since it is hybrid-80mmpt cc .According to him,this is to allow proper charging of the 15KWH battery.He also said he will connect the panels 3 in series.

Installer two said the 12 panels on the 120A charge controller is enough to charger the battery.I just need an independent verifier though I am yet to get the installation quote from both of them

Dam5reey1:
So you want them to use 150K+ BMS on a budget battery?
Same reason you dont find BT or wifi BMS on budget batteries, or even Screens, this has nothing to do with the quality of cells.

omotoda:
Please what capacity and brand is your servo AVR.Ihave gotten burnt severally with relay AVR

Dageek:
I have implemented several automations. One automation turns off powerful appliances when consumption exceeds solar generation for more than 20 minutes, but only if the time is after 4:00 PM. Another automation activates a custom-built fan that I attached to the external heatsink when the temperature rises above 48 degrees Celsius. I have an automation that turns on the water heater once the battery reaches 100%.

The past 5 months have been great so far.

My system consists of Deye 6kw SG03 version, Deye SE-G5.1 PRO-B x 2, Jinko 555w x 12

Dam5reey1:
Got a call if we sell Haisic.
So I looked into their market again they now have these models

omotoda:
Did I mention that in the 12 years I never did a single repair until 2023 when internal leakage occured and it was not cooling well.I was told it has internal leakge and was advised to change the internal piping but decided to buy a new one.It is still sitting somehwere in my house to be sold as scrap when I have the time.

@ mctfopt

Hi,

See the picture of this particular mount, ignore the pv I scribbled out, these 6 visible panels are the JA solar mount facing north.

Edit: For transparency, I’ve included the picture without the scribbled panels to show they are different panels, those are jinkos and part of the south facing string.

I have pv input on other mppt strings facing south (not visible in the picture).

GloryJoyeux:
Hi,

Don’t agree to be talked down on buying bi-facial panels for roof mount, especially if you have an angled roof made of aluminium or other reflective material and it is of a light colour

munchies:
A battery that says max charge at 100a, does it mean I have to set 100a on the inverter? It's currently at 60a on the inverter settings. I use a Felicity 3kva and 3.5kw lithium. Bulk and float charge is set already at 28v.
It charges slowly from grid
Please help

Ratings dey extremely important that's why i placed it first as long as there's good rating you will get what you expected 90%

i need this spot welder

You can never go wrong with Scanftost freezer.Had one since around 2011,it got spoilt in 2023 and I replaced with another Scanftost.Superb freezing,!!

oweniwe:
Thanks so much.

I saw it on AliExpress

But I haven't used the platform before so... And I'm in Delta State. I don't know how long the delivery will take

uche393:
good evening all, i have seen some people complain that inverters makes powerbanks to swell how true is this claim? i was telling a guy who runs a charging center about installing solar in his shop and he pointed this claim too, he showed me some customers who had swollen powerbank as a result of charging with solar.

SourYoghurt:
please guy, what's your experience with Thermocool Inverter Freezers, Does it freeze and ice liquid like conventional freezers when used with solar.

My current freezer, barely freezer things probably because it's older.

Please, I need your guidance.

oweniwe:
Good pm house.

Please who knows where I can get this charging module?

Or something similar capable of charging heavy power banks.

Want to buy a few and connect to my DC converter

Thanks

As a Aliexpress Shopper, This are the things you should take note of because I've been shopping there since 2021

1 Learn to KYS (its very important, visit the store & see the rating)

2 Communicate with the Seller before purchasing (A good communication tells if you are buying from the right source)

3 Check for Refund & Return policy

4 Follow up & keep tracks while communicating with the Seller.

5 give good reviews & follow the store. (Keep tracks of all the stores you bought from with successful delivery & quality products.

Follow all this steps & you won't have issues

LIGHTNING STRIKES... BUT MY INVERTER STOOD ITS GROUND! 🔥⚡

Do you remember that video I posted about how lightning can shut down even the best inverters? Well, let me take you behind the scenes of what just happened — and trust me, this was not your average rainstorm.

It started with a LinkedIn post I read some time ago — multiple inverters within a 5 km radius had failed after a ferocious lightning storm. These were properly installed systems, with earthing and SPDs in place — yet they still failed. That got me thinking. That got me experimenting. That got me ready.

Then yesterday happened.

The heavens opened. The sky lit up like a thousand fireworks. This wasn’t just lightning — this was lightning on steroids. Strike after strike. Some so violent they triggered car alarms in the neighborhood. The whole area was under siege from Mother Nature herself.

And there I was… watching… waiting… monitoring my system.

GUESS WHAT?

Not a blink. Not a flicker.
The lights held steady.
My inverter stood its ground like a warrior.
My solution worked.
The theory became fact — and it survived a full-scale attack.

Whew. That was intense.

👉 Watch the full video to see how I solved a problem that takes down systems worth millions. If you care about your investment, you NEED to see this.

adrusa:
No try am.

1. I don't know if there is expertise about installing it without feeding back into the grid.
2. It probably won't work.
3. If it works and feed back into the grid, you may be supplying electricity to the whole town or worse get someone electrocuted down the line.
4. 3 may not happen because grid tie inverters work with grid, once the grid is down, they also go down.

Finally, it is a very bad idea. Don't do it.

Pabodo:
Good afternoon, Please can one use a Grid-tie Inverter with battery? If Yes, how can it be done and any advice to go for it or not
I want to buy one and send to Nigeria, most I see are grid-tie (Sunny Boy SMA)
Thank you guys for the good works you are all doing

Some versions of Li-ion batteries now have a USB C port
Source: https://x.com/mkbhd/status/1929608426268598692?s=46[/quote]These batteries full AliExpress. Surprise MKBHD is just seeing it.

peropoliet:
What does this mean

AndroBlaze:
Could we be in the last days of lithium? Heavier but possibly cheaper batteries have started their march in the battery capital of the world.

ask4bk:
Now permit me to sincerely seek your advice.
Would you advice me to constantly run my deep freezer, refrigerator, occasional washing machine and blender on the 6kw Growatt inverter (from fouani) in a dusty environment of far northern Nigeria with constant 40ºc temperature?

If you think it's OK, I'll get it. If not, give me a better alternative.

fuckboys:
Today's sun is mad. Battery got full under 3hrs.

ask4bk:
We Nigerians praising inverters like Growatt, SRNE etc which are cheap and high frequency shows our shallowness in good solar applications..

Growatt in the west is meant for the poor who can't afford solid inverters and for 80% users they die on them after 18 months or 2 years.

isangjohnson:
Has anyone here mixed V3 280ah cells with the V1 280ah cells?

I need a practical experience.

I know for sure that the internal resistance will differ but I don't know how wider the difference might be.

aaforke:
Where can one get this power meter.
I don find am taya

Rumplesteelskin:
Did a drain test, still stuck at 26.8-27.2 V after hours of charging. Did the final test today, disconnected the inverter from the battery, and the inverter went straight to 29.1 V, while the charge controller that is connected to the battery shows 26.8 V. So, I have ruled out the inverter limiting the charge current

GloryJoyeux:
Hi,

The deyri has jk bms, and the cworth has a different bms. So the first RPi with solar assistant is communicating with the JKbms of the deriy, the inverter and the victron smart shunt.

The second Orange Pi running SA is communicating with the cworth battery via CAN2.0, I couldn’t get cworth to communicate via rs485, it seems they use different communication protocols via rs485, but the CAN uses standard protocol.
