IYGEAL:
Battery is a standalone 24V, inverter is also 24v.

Tried feeding PV and also experienced a spark. Took it back to the repair guys to try their luck.

So I'm on the look out for a 24V 3 to 3.5kva hybrid inverter which would preferably have a lithium profile.

I need opinions on which is better between Growat, iCellpower and Sorotec. I think my preference would be the one with less idle power consumption and less minimum pv input voltage.

IYGEAL:
Do you mean circuit breakers?

IYGEAL:
That may be possible but very unlikely. The sound was reminiscent of a capacitor forced to discharge.

What the inverter does now is produce a massive spark on trying to connect it to the battery. Sometimes it shorts off the battery. The sparks are big enough that they almost washed off the threads of the battery terminal.

Please can 600w. Solar panel charge 4* 200ah battery (2p2s) with hybrid inverter

IYGEAL:
The silent y before s is probably also physically silent

I was going to make these adjustments but it looks like I have carelessly fried my new hybrid pet.

So I was going to shorten the PV cable last night but forgot to switch off the inverter. Breakers I ordered are yet to arrive so there is no breaker between the inverter and PV. There was a loud sparkling noise the moment I put a screw driver to unscrew the PV.

Sent it to repairs but I'm guessing the board is gone and I might be on the look out for a new 3.5kva hybrid.

I have seen lots of discussion on pv setups, 2S2P,6S2P....... I think such setups cant work for Pwm cc and simple inverters with either 12v/24v operational voltage.
I am asking this because i have come across a system like that the client said failed. I noticed pv was reading about 56v for a 24v inverter. Going up, is saw that 3pc of 100w were connected in series pv wires were corroded with whitish powder, cc was bad, batteries were overheating too and one was melting sef.

The client had to rewire the pv wire since they were badly damaged, buy new cc, change batteries, opt for a 12v system, and has enjoyed his system since then.

Good day house,
what is the best way to arrange 8 pcs of 150 watts panel for a 12 volt 1.5 Kva Inverter with 2 flooded batteries (200 amps each) using fangpusun mppt 150/70 .
thanks

mctfopt:
How much?

quest4s:
Thanks
The battery is barely 3months old
Started suspecting it from when I got it thought it was because of slight increase in load. It deteriorated gradually till it was very noticeable yesterday

mctfopt:
There are many of them in PlayStore. Just wondering which one it is that is shown in the screenshot

What's the name of this digital compass?

Hmmmmmm

I was not aware any advantage could be gained by a NE installation when the location is on the equator.

I do South, then West then East in that order of preference. I will do more research to understand what you have done.

ojesymsym:
Using the East facing DSTV dish as reference, I am wondering why you choose to use the NE direction for your solar installation when it seems the Southern part of the roof was available?

NiyiOmoIyunade:
Yes all DC sources for charge and discharge connected at only one point but not like the diagram you drew.

You want currents moving in and out of battery to pass through exactly thesame number of hoops.

Once your connections are becoming numerous best to use a busbar. One can easily DIY a busbar from a suitably thick earth bar drilled and cut to spec then mounted in an electrical box. At max currents in the system you want busbar to stay cool at best or slightly warm at worst.

saint2ace:
Quick question, will the introduction of a busbar make this system more balanced and efficient?
Scenerio being a split in panels to 2pv array if 2s2p each, one connected to the own charger controller, and the second connected to the hybrid inverter to achieve more PV gains since CC is pwm on both external and hybrid (spec sheet should clarify).

Secondly, creating 2 banks of 2s1p and connecting to the busbar.

Lastly, all connections terminatiing on the busbar, drawing feed from the busbar too.

As stated above will this create a more balanced and efficient system, or there will be too much power loss.

I await responses

NiyiOmoIyunade:
I want to clarify that for battery connections, all DC utilities must connect to the same battery terminals. All charging sources (grid, gen and solar) and all loads must connect to thesame terminals.

One may use a busbar to allow multiple DC utilities connect to the same battery terminal.

dollarnaira:
8 panels of 330w each.
Cc pwm 60A
200amp × 4 = 24v
Inverter hybrid mercury 24v, 2kva

Pls how should connect the above
Pls pls pls.

ceaser:
2s2p configuration panel for 48v system? How feasible is that? Or are the panels 500 watts each?

ceaser:
Is that 4s3p config for the 48v system?

Trippledots:
Can you clean large panel install of between 80- 130panels?

If yes, hit my signature lets talk pls

wilmaria14:
ok

ojeysky:
I used the lowest voltage and maximum current to determine the maximum power that the device will consume. So depending on the TV settings at 100v it could require up to 2.1A but the current will be lower at higher voltage. In naija case where we use 230v(220-240) even if all the TV features are utilized 100%, the current won't be up to 1A thereby keeping power within the 210w max

ojeysky:
For the first, operating range is wider hence I think the 2.1A is probably the maximum current at the least voltage of 100v which makes it 210w max

For the second 135w I expect is the maximum and 75w is the regular (typical).

Disclaimer: wait to get confirmation from the gurus on this, I may be wrong

Please I need a competent installer for solar panel installation around ikorodu.
