Thank you

dollarnaira:
Post the front to check mine

Good evening house,

Please my energy meter has one of it's internal components burnt ... A resistor, I need someone with a similar one to kindly take a picture if the exact resistor so as to have it replaced.

Attached below is a pics

Thanks for the mention @abbeymighty and @iygeal

abbeymighty:
Yes, I have tried olopan and he delivered diligently kudos to him

Kindly download and file the attached documents
To better understand your energy usage, also you can adjust all listed item and add other not listed little things too

When confused kindly state difficulties in the doc.

Aloysius10:
I don't mind about the cost I just need a steady power supply also with water pumping machine as well just let me the cost thanks for your reply

I believe this should be of help was from axpert VM III to US3000

Good morning house.

I need help crimping a rj45 cable to connect a pylontech up5000 to an axpert VM-III inverter.

I have tried a cat568A straight through cable and a cross over cable without luck.

The pylontech manual is confusing and Google searches present many different options too.

Please help with the correct pin out.

Thanks.

No, it is on the north part of the roof

The sun rises in a almost diagonal path over it

ojesymsym:
Can you confirm if it is on the eastern part of the roof and if yes how being on the northern hemisphere justifies that.

The sun moves over the northern hemisphere at location

Kindly check attached compass and note the sun path

ojesymsym:
I am very curious to know why those panels was mounted on the eastern part of the roof?

A very big thank you to iygeal, for trusting us with his PV installation of 3.645KWp of Jinko 405W panels

His hospitality, care, even giving us helping hands when needed and giving us an enabling environment to allow us work freely went a long way in boosting our team spirit

We look forward to working together again soon.

The roof surface w.r.t angle of inclination was 45° after correction we arrived at 18° inclination.

To better understand You, since this is about two units of apartments

Items listed below are divided into two for each apartment?

Some notable changes as highlighted by some members earlier,

1.Your ox fan needs to be replaced with DC fans 10-20W

2.LED bulbs will be recommended

3.your freezers will come on during day time, via timer or a smart plug as stated some page back

4. To reduce cost the microwave may have to go

5. Are the electric jug and cooker really needed?

With the above, there is definitely going to be a reduction in price gap as against powering all above.

Aloysius10:
Any solar experts here please I'll like to know how much it will cost me to get inverter and solar that can power 2 unit of 2 bedroom flat these are the mejor things

house hold items like:
4 big oxford fan
4 32inch flat screen tv
16 bulbs
2 big deep freezer (double door)
2 microwave oven
2 blender
2 electric stove
2 electric boiling jug
And some few minor house stuffs at least 24/7 power supply I'm located at Enugu

Kindly check through the image attached this should work just fine.

davidolarewaju2:
Please how can I use surge protector instead of lightening arrester for my solar panels.

Ok, this is noted

Valto:
ok. note it is PURE AC / DC. it can be plugged to light directly. they dont need ac adapter. it comes with remote and regulator. energy efficient and very low power consumption.

That must be one of their SCC Bug yet to be fixed.

OCTAVO:
This is true for Felicity mppt, infact I did some pv series connection that totalled about 125v, still got the high voltage error.
So, 100v - 110v is the safest from my experience.

Installation indeed comes with a unique solution.

The aforementioned should suit the battery
The lithium profile of BO2 is meant for 3.7V x3s of ... Those 18650 type of cell.

And since 3.2-3.6V is LiFePO4 range ... A gel profile fits into it

microgiant:
It is lifepo4.

I paralleled them with 2nos 150W panels connected to the SCC.

But what type of Battery is it?

microgiant:
Thanks, I will do as you say.

But I have already placed order for PowMr 60a MPPT.

Personally in our design, we mostly consider MPPT range, since most low PV input charge controllers do not consider start-up voltage as most high PV input of hybrid inverter and grid-tie inverters, anything that sits within the MPPT range is fine.

We have had felicity charge controllers a clone of MPP controllers show error of high voltage on very sunny days because a 3s is used but will never or hardly happen when 2S is used on them

Since each installation comes with a unique solution, their is no rule of thumb that apply to all.

ceaser:
I thought as much. However it will be more revealing if anyone here had had cause to install these types. They will do peeps a lot of favour telling us their experiences and choices of connection.

Try the BO3,
If it fails and still reads 15.3V
The SCC is gone
You might need to buy a mini one to compensate for the main time

microgiant:
Hello DishTech,

I need your advice.

It seems the PWM SCC is overcharging my batteries.

Whereas the PWM voltage shows 14.2v, but the inverter shows the batteries are at 15.3v. This triggers the Inverter over-voltage shutoff.
The PWM has setting for 3 battery types
BO1 is for flooded battery
BO2 is for Lithium battery
BO3 is for GEL battery.

Note that the inverter has not displayed the correct voltage.

Is there anything I can do while waiting for the arrival of the PowMr MPPT

I have placed order for PowMr 60a

Have informed the interested party, contact will reach out

Valto:
it is long arms. lagos

Best to go for 2S, Better safe than having a damaged equipment

ceaser:
Folks. Concerning the use of this for a 48v system, would it still be appropriate to go 3s, considering that the VoC per panel approaches 50v, making it around 150v.

Save the hybrid systems, most of the available MPPT CCs are capped at 150v max.

Is the fan long arms and your location?

This is fine, as long as the genus inverter does equalization

But ensure that the freezers are powered via timer for daytime or whatever best you think suits your customer.

isangjohnson:
I intend to use it with 4pcs of 230ah tubular battery with 8 mono panels of 320w each
Consumption: 1 chest freezer. 1 freeze. Total lighting 100w. 55 inches Hisense tv. 1 dstv decoder. 2 ceiling fans and 2 standing fans.

From a quick scan of the product description, it doesn't have remote monitoring features

isangjohnson:
Does genus heiwa 3.5kva/48v inverter have remote monitoring features?

Kindly keep us posted, this is looking interesting

ceaser:
Having tried the two, I am planning to DIY something that will be able to use SoC as well as wireless and remote capability. Nothing close to Tasmota but one that will need no servers (local or cloud) whatsoever and the wireless communications will be only between the battery SoC and the switching device. I am gathering the components presently.

YES as substitute for equalization if the setting is absent in your inverter

I will strongly advise against using 30V as cyclic voltage as it will wear and tear your lead plates faster than its expected

xfay:
Do you mean 30v periodically as a substitute for equalisation? or 30V constantly to avoid the need for equalisation...

These setting a Okay,

If your inverter doesn't have auto equalization, use 30V

xfay:
House pls what are the recommended settings for genus gxct2300 flooded battery in a 24V system.

These are the setting I currently use

Current: 30A
Bulk Voltage:28.8V
Float Voltage: 27.6

Strictly off-grid
350w X 4 solar panels to be extended to 8 later

The 1st carton is one of their latest product, but ensure you buying from the source as not to be defrauded

Godliftedme:
Good morning All.
To the people wey sabi, make una help us get value for money.
I have been seeing these variants of Amaron Quanta batteries; are all genuine product from Amara Raja of India or some are imitation.
Which one is the best for Renewable energy storage system.
See the four pictures below, Sellers in the house, experienced installers and great DIYers help in solving this riddle?

Still new to this automation, but I will keep the house updated on how the step goes

Lol. +1 for tasmota on sonoff devices with nodered, especially the ones with the power monitoring which will allow automations based on your consumption / solar production for example. Not really one for voice commands via alexa / google assistant / siri etc...but i believe you can also add this via nodered or Home Assistant.
Interface via a telegram bot / the home assistant app through a private cloud and everything is vely vely hallright.

Thanks for taking your time to explain, I will reach out for more clarification.

OCTAVO:
AliExpress, I think a little above 5k.

https://a.aliexpress.com/_ms5kfPP

I integrated Google Assistant, and it works quite well even with voice command.
Also, you can set your desired kind of weather or temperature automation. It will Geo-locate the address of device and use available weather forecast to switch ON/OFF, depending on how you want it.

That second device, I have looked out for it for quite some time.

I think it works with Growatt readily, as the option of smart home is available in the shineapp

Where did you get it and for how much?

OCTAVO:
This first device (picture attached), is very fantastic and gets the basic job done, however, it has a limitation which is quite worrisome. When you program it to power on at a certain time and you leave home, weather can suddenly become cloudy or even rain for hours and your batteries will be depleted seriously (which you may not want) because of unavailability of sunlight.
This made me to think of a better alternative that gives one more control, preferably can be done remotely anywhere (I'm a fan of home automation). After an extensive search, I came across the second device (picture attached). This device gives my kind of desired control, all you need do is to sync it with a dedicated home router. It's called SMART PLUG and works with other home automation apps such as Alexa and Google Assistant. This is more preferable, you can get everything done on your phone, it has a programmable timer also, instant ON/OFF anywhere you are in the world. Someone may find this useful.

Try Kartel - not one issue with their 1.5KVA installed
