AyarmBoye: Good afternoon guys….so I’m new to this solar stuff and even though I have read many of the pages o still couldn’t find what I want..hopefully someone will help me.
A friend sold me his old 1.2kva luminous eco volt inverter because he’s upgrading…his batteries are dead so I only got the inverter..
I dont like this tubular batteries and one installer said I can’t use lithium battery with this 1.2kva inverter that I will have to get another inverter….
So what do you think?
Can’t I truly use this inverter with lithium battery? I plan to charge more with solar panels though and perhaps once in a while use the grid since the inverter can charge battery….true at the back of the inverter,,no selection for lithium battery….
Please don’t ignore me …I don’t have money for another inverter o.
Icent99: Good morning everyone, please I'll love to know if there are any effects if i charge my lithium battery with 120V from the grid. The light in my area can be very low.. As low as 120V.i have a 10kwh lithium battery. Is it safe to allow grid voltage of 120V to charge my battery. If not, what are the potential effects. I'll appreciate any useful response
Won't charge unless the inverter/charger accepts 120vac.
It's likely going to give error 10 output power derating depending on which inverter brand
IRAPADA: good evening one,I came home this evening and my children told me around 1pm or 2pm my inverter was piping and when dey off it,it started smoking though still working and when I open it to see what is wrong inside I found out some capacitor are burnt . though the instill working.what is the function of those capacitor and how can I fix the problem. 3.5kva yohako inverter
It depends on a lot of things I think yours is an aging problem resulting in high esr (there's no explosion of the capacitor but rather a kind of burnt around the label)
Now since you said you put it back on and it still works as if nothing happened, it likely proofs that it's not a really serious problem, just checking if there are any burnt trace, decolorations on the PCB, might give you more hint of there are other problems
Astromath: Dey play You never really use AI that much I grant Gemini AI access to my back camera, them ask am make e direct me on why my work place power generator no dey work. This AI tell me the solution
Just dey play first
Do am Na. Ai don tell you the solution execute it...
If another Fault fall out still ask am .
You go don buy plenty spare parts till you solve the problem finish
lungwun: Just received word that a connection lost their home on Sunday due to Solar/Inverter/Battery system fire.
Are there any IP65 rated batteries and Inverters? If i jump into solar because AEDC are more useless than two follicles of hair, I really do not want it in my house anymore.
IP65 rating will help with outdoor placement
It's not a matter of protection class.
A bad installation will still have the same disaster effect.
go fir competent installer.
You can still get IP65 inverter they experience an electrical fire because of wire etc

oluchibabe: Most things in that quote are too Cost-excessive! Infact. the Installer wants to build House from your Job. Imagine, #16,000 Clamp (#200 each!) to tie down just Six Panels? Run!
That Amount should conveniently get you a 5KVA setup, with 8KVA - 9KVA LiP04 Battery
Depending on your Budget, buy Growatt Inverter (it does not need an External Charge Controller because it is Hybrid), read all the complaints about Felicity in the last 30pages behind though, some will still advice you to buy it, if that is what they have in Stock to sell but the eventuak decision is your own.
If you need an Installer that is reasonable, leave a message for me and l will share his Number, he just did work for me.
The problem with that clamp Is he might be quoting for the actual PV clamp, but might end up getting #200 clamp .
So we can only speculate. Besides all the wires he dey write up and down what are they for? 180k should cover all the wires needed.
fuckboys: No, what the governor does is increases voltage to the fan from 1-12v and at constant current of 1a depending on the ambient temperature.
I’m 100% certain it’s going to work.
Yes there’s yellow wire a tach sensor, this actually sends signals to the inverter to shut down in case of fan failure
Yes there’s a blue speed control wire, now this wire doesn’t matter anymore if the power to the fan isn’t controlled by the inverter anymore. This wire will remain and tell the inverter to send full 12v (highest speed) to the fan which the inverter can’t do anymore cos it doesn’t control power to the fan.
Now this is where the governor comes, anything with motor actuality increases or decreases speed depending on the speed of current passing through it which is voltage. The governor increases voltage to the fan when the temperature rises.
fuckboys: putting expensive brushless fans that would still run 24/7 on high speed.
This is actually the best cos it controls the speed using ambient temperature, lowers the fan noise and will also prolong the fans life cos it won’t be running at full speed all the time anymore.
Your idea actually works if it's a 2 pin fan(just + &-) What you have not considered is that the fan needs input voltage to to be able to Send signal and it needs to receive signal too.
Red = +12v Black= -12v Yellow= tach signal from the fan Blue= speed control signal
A better approach will be to use an external PWM signal to control the present fans
I am quite sure the device you ordered will likely connect the power to the fan when a certain temperature threshold is met
fuckboys: I have made my research and you're wrong chief.
I'm not disconnecting the fan totally, I'll only run the power line of the fan through the governor. The fan has 4 wires. The sensor and signal wire are still connected to the inverter
So if it can only lower the speed of the fan at night, I'm okay cos night is my only issue.
fuckboys: I won’t be going to arena anymore, I think I will diy with this. This is the best solution imo. Ordered 2 already
No stress your self the best option remains to buy a real brushless fan.
If you decide to remove the fan, it will affect the inverter. The inverter is designed such that it receives signals from the fan (around 5v). It's through that signal is able to tell when a fan is connected or not.
It seem lot of folks are complaining about the fan noise, there should be a way out anyway.
oluchibabe: Good morning Gentlemen (I even wonder why we dont have more Ladies contributing here?)
Thank you to all wey give me ideas with my own Solar issue, it is partially being resolved but not fully sha.
But l have decided to help a friend, and bring his matter here, as a show of gratitude for the helep l don get here. We want to install Small Solar System for im House, on the Roof of a One Storey Building.
We have identified good Stores where/from whom to buy the 4Units of 715W Panels, Inverter and Good Lithium Batteries. No purchases yet, though.
Wetin l dey seek here, is a TRUSTWORTHY Installer who can do Roof install without damaging the Roofing and causing leaks because his Landlord will be very annoyed, if he causes a leak on the Aluminum Roof.
If you are good with Roof Installs and are Trustworthy (very important), please leave indicate here and l will hook you Up.
Good morning.
