Finally MPP is sending me a replacement board for my GK (the Comms panel was not the pro, it was the main board), but they are sending me 5kva instead.....guess they are out of stock on 3kva Boards, I screamed at them small sha.

However, I think it's blessing in disguise just that the blessing means more expenses for me as I need to now go 48v. I will be putting up some of my 24v backup LFP gears up for sale to anyone interested soon.

So you can use that board on your 24v mpp?

I am talking about their efficiency one 300w and 150w×2 panel ie charging capacity...

I'll use the 300w. Efficiency depends on alot of factors

[quote author=bbally post=89939357][/quote]Looks like pwm

Abigai:
gud morning gurus, 300w and 150w solar panels which one is more effective, it because the person who installed my 300w/24v×3 panels said 150w panels are more effective. thanks n happy Sunday...

I don't understand are you comparing 150w to 300w or 150w x 2 to 300w?

Lkj20:
available

Which one is open box? Is the nylon on the phone still intact?

Hw much for a honda crv 2007-2008

ojeysky:
Actually I made a typo in my previous post, maximum load is 2.4kw not 2.4kva[1] that's why I said "true rating", I have another 3kva inverter and the true rating is 3kw (my guess is that the inverter is probably 3.5kva hence pf has been taken care of). However both of them Felicity and MPP are advertised as 3kva.

So you see why I say, just stating a rating without relating it to specific manufacturer spec could have a difference.

Cheers
1. PW=PVA X 0.8

Axpert inverter has pf0.8 and pf1 of same parameters {ie charging current and mppt} is same only the pf is different. Unfortunately the ones in Nigeria mainly is pf0.8

something like this happened to me recently. The breaker between my cc and battery tripped up - thus saving my house from burning down - It turns out the I undersized the cable from cc to battery. I use 25mm (a distance of about 1 meter) with current up to 90A @24v passing through the wire.. this was then compounded by what I suspect to be partial contact with the DC breaker.. wire got so hot, breaker did it's job and tripped.. All this happened in peak afternoon with a solar panels array sending about 2800w of power to the cc..

This were my respect for Victron went to a whole new level.. My victron charge controller stood there.. without a battery to send all that energy too, it just switched to the higher curve of the MPPT and switched to float..In fact it took a long time to realise what was happening because controller continued working like nothing happened.. I had to turn off the breaker from the pv to cc and then changed removed the bad wire, upgraded it to 35mm and turned the system back on.. Victron charge controller resumed charging.. The trip from the battery gave no problem at all.

Is 25mm not suppose to carry 90a?

F00lish, 5tvpid hyperactive bot that is just banning like something that is corona-infested. N0ns3nse. Mstcheeeeeew!

I think the m0derat0rs of this thread need to audit and re-evaluate their censored words of this thread with the aim of expunging from their library technical terms that are commonly used here. Haba! Why would anyone censor the word "a-m-p"

Can an extra MPPT standalone controller be connected in parallel to increase the solar inputs charging the batteries, in case one wants to increase battery capacity?

Does it imply that the in-built controller is only twenty a-m-p?

Is it MPPT?

I use mine with a standalone fangpusun mppt 100/50 max 1400w.
There a 2 versions of this axpert inverter. Fortunately the ipowerplus version uses mppt instead of pwm. The mppt can deliver up to 25a from and the inverter can deliver up to 30a from utility for a combined 55a ie if you want to use the mppt on the inverter.

anjilgreat:
Are u completely off-grid with your setup and how has your experience been by using the in-built charge controller of your ipowerplus inverter? I am planning to start with 600W panels after this lock-down and gradually increase my panel size with extra charge controller.

No I'm not completely off grid as the compound generator comes on @ night. As for phcn they cut our light for more than a month and my solar panels are sufficient. I don't use the mppt part of the inverter as I didn't want to exceed the max 600w and also I needed a charge controller for battery equalization as I use tubular batteries. I might connect 600w to the inverter in future when my loads increase.

ceaser:
House.

Is this inverter good that it can be recommended for someone? I don't want anyone to come and be locking my shirt after 6 months o.

My brand. Using for close to 2 years now no issues. Mppt max is 600w but I've seen people use 1200w and still the unit kept powering. Only problem is it enters float a lil too early [bmv reads 88-90% when it enters float] while my cc enters float at about 98%. Also the constant fan running noise on loads greater than 200w but I've learnt to live with that. This inverter is infamous in South Africa

tipzy001:
Nice. Where can I get it for the price please? Also how much and where can I get the TDS tester... And your panel, how many watts are you using and how much can I get it for? It's probably best I buy them myself and then call the installer to come fix it... And if you don't mind can you share a picture of your battery for me? Also what's your review of the battery? Does it last long? Thank you

Got the tds meter from AliExpress. I believe manuel enterprise here sells that luminous for a cheaper price. I use 4×340w [jinko and Era solar panels]. Bought the era for 44k if i can remember. The Jinko panels were more expensive. I hardly use the batteries as the solar is sufficient to run my loads from 8am to 5pm then @ 6pm the compound generator comes on and off by 9.30pm. My fangpusun bmv battery monitor (from aliexpress) usually shows 90% by morning as we only use the 2 qlink ac/dc fans @ night. Charge controller is fangpusun 100/50 (also from aliexpress) and inverter is axpert 3kva about 110-115k from konga. Bought all myself and got an installer

tipzy001:
Any idea on how much it costs to refill and how long before I'll be needing to refill? Please I'll appreciate your knowledge on it

Refilling is easy. You can use sachet water provided you test the tds level. Anything from 5 below is ok. I use same batteries the luminous 220ah and believe you can get it cheaper than that 120k [hot mine @105k, I believe it's 95k each now] including your panel price too.

Anyone with car battery charger for sale?

OutharryHIV:
I "accidentally" found out I had HIV in 2015... Worst year of my life.. I know you might be thinking that I'm a promiscuous person but I assure you, I'm very far from that... So this is how it all started?

I did my NYSC in my dad's company and finished in late 2014 and I was given a full year to go read a course I didn't even want. So I instead volunteered for Youth In Action Against HIV and poverty in Tanzania. My dad was furious but my mum understood.

It was 6months filled with lessons, tears, experience and a firsthand witness to the sufferings of others... We tended to the poorest of the poor in rural Tanzania.

I later came down to Borno and later North bank area of Benue state, I realized there were a lot of vulnerable people that are hungry and can't afford even cheap medical care thus they die of common malaria.

I didnt stay long in Borno before I started having this feeling of fatigue and blurry vision, I thought it was cuz of the stress that comes with what I do, so I decided to go home. Few days after getting home I started feeling this head splitting headache, I thought it was malaria/typhoid of which a lab test later confirmed.. Out of curiosity, I told the doctor to run a full check up.. Just to be on a safe side.. Which he did..

You should imagine my surprise when he told me I was HIV positive.. Nothing has ever prepared me for that moment.. It was funny how a malaria treatment could turn to an HIV nightmare.. I thought of just ending my life right then.

But i braced myself and took the drugs, I was surprised that it was free in Nigeria sef.

I rushed home and took my girlfriend to run the test and it turned out that she has it too...
We've been taking the drugs for the past 5years now with an high Cd4 count and a low viral load.. The virus is not detectable in our blood stream anymore and we are happily married and our first twin boys are negative.

If you're out there and you've been in my shoes.. Its not the end of your life.. Life just happens and its not entirely your fault.

I don't smoke, drink or live a reckless life or sleep around, like I've been in only one relationship all my life, so its not about your lifestyle.
I don't know if I got it from the idp camps or my girlfriend(she was the only person I was with at that time), we just didn't care, we moved on.

So lovelies, Take your ARV drugs, take fruits, eat well, within 3-6 months you can still have unprotected sex throughout your life with your partner without infecting them or your children.. You can live your life to the fullest and more.

P.s: HIV patients do not look skinny and dried up.. That's just an archaic stereotype...
It is also not a death sentence.

It's not advisable to have unprotected sex with your hiv partner as you could transmit other viral strains to each other which might be resistant to your current ARV drugs
