1. If Stab is before inverter input then it is fine as it will ensure that the you get a stabilized voltage even when Vs is lower than expected

2. Using a 30A charge controller is more appropriate for your system

3. if you cycle the pictures your charge controller is showing kindly collage them for all to advise more

micynute94:

*** Does using a Stabilizer (2KVA) with an inverter has any negative effect on the inverter (600W PSW).

I had my inverter set up last year around March.

Set up include: Full River 12v 160Ah FAT battery from Ojota, 3x150W Solar Panels, 20A charger, and 600W PSW inverter.

Recently I noticed my battery drain too fast.

Without sun, a load of 100W could deplete my battery from a full charge (around 12.8V) to 11V in about 3 hours.

Is it high time I changed the battery?

I usually don't use it below 50% DoD.

Please feel free to ask for more details I might opted out. Thank you.

Victron is one of the good world known brand that delivers but with victron you simply need to match ot with top notch equipment too, which can quickly make project cost to rise

Their are other options like DEYE inverter, axpert, voltronic, phocos Hybrid inverter that's offers close to victron functionality like remote monitoring and more

Solar panels like Canadian solar, Yingli, ERA, Jinko, JA and more that guarantees energy harvest that satisfy his energy needs

Lithium battery are fast becoming a trend in RE & Since moni no be problem then brands like LG CHEM , pylontech, BYD and more that will ensure that he gets enough ROI on his install

In summary: To better decide what's best for him getting a reputable company to give a comparison quote between victron a standalone system & an Hybrid Inverter then the choice is let to your contact.

If you need more clarification, kindly reach out via contact on signature.

hello Gurus,
Someone need very good setup, with the most reliable batteries and panels, what are the best options for the person, someone spoke about Victron! please let me know so i can inform him, he said he prefer a standard supplier with an office. i am sure finance may not be an issue with him. Thanks.

After carefully gone through your post, I noticed that you are just about having power and durability & not other key features - i could be wrong but the advantage of getting a good hybrid is getting more interesting daily when compare with standalone

I don't understand your comment about surge, it is not so clear, experience with axpert-Voltronic & Growatt neither of this inverters have had it's inverting side broken before ..... Even when one was struck by lightning.

1.The most common problems noticed with Growatt is the charge controller breaking down in few cases or fan stop working - fix for TL inverter blow away dust regularly

2. Some reports have it that mosfets get blown and maybe board replacement due to
I. Surge from lightning - fix install genuine SPD
II. Over load of inverter - fix carefully size your breaker not to your inverter size but rather load size

Thunderbolt:


Read a little about the advantages and disadvantages of TL inverters. What stood out for me was talk of being more susceptible to surge issues.

For those who have experience with these inverters, pls what are the practical issues I could face using a hybrid, and how could I mitigate against these issues?

Thanks

Kindly check through your post, maybe a typographic error
Dam5reey:


Since you have the wiring diagram and all the accessories, Simply wire accordingly, AC input and Output must be connected together batteries must be connected to same bank.

Do all this before switching on the Power on the inverter.

Adverse effects, NO!
But most conventional inverter overwrites the charger controller as they charge with higher voltage making your solar idle during sunny hours

Michaelondon53:
Good morning all!

I want to know if there are any adverse effects if you charge an inverter with nepa and solar simultaneously.
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 1:26am On Jan 08, 2022
My scope might be limited here as your choice isn't fully known but

1. If your fans can be changed to DC fans, then this is a game changer (30W max)

2. The prices listed here are not 100% realistic with current market prices except you plan on buying used equipment

3. Based educative guess that you might not use grid supply (Laptop -140W, fans -30W, lights -20W) A ceepro or 1000W - 500W pure some wave without charger should be okay

4. If you plan a 450W panel (150W x3) with a 100Ah battery, 30A PWM & inverter as aforementioned

Your battery and your loads will both be happy as your loads will be more reliant on solar rather than battery

5. This will cost more than your present budget except you plan and make things modular then make do with your budget and upgrade later

JC2021:


for just 2 laptops, 2 standing fans and lightings.

1. Solar panel (150w mono) for 30k

2. 2 -in-1 Pure Sine Wave Inverter. ( Solar charger / controller + 800va - 500w inverter) for 38k

3: For the battery, I have GBM 180va/12v in mind, but some people objected it. I will appreciate suggestions on good, long lasting battery (around 180va/12v) for between 70k to 100k

Total budget: 150,000 - 160, 000 naira.

it appears that your panels might be developing hot spot or de lamination from the picture provided

So I got the panel down and this is how one looks a bit burnt.

The voltage is now going up though, 66v now, 90w.

I'd let it run till evening and see.

Based on your 100Ah battery and needs

2 x 150w panel - 40k x 2
100Ah - 65k
30A controller - 15k
1000W inverter MSW - 32k
Aluminium roof profile- 12k
Battery box/rack - 8k
Electrical components - 30k
Installation materials - 12k

Excluding transport

All above is to match what your installer might give to you but you can get lower if you buy couple of these things yourself

Dear House,

Please I am trying to get true 250w or 350w solar panels (used or new).
Please could someone kindly advice me on how to go about it.
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 10:29am On Dec 29, 2021
Since your battery is 24V lithium, that is what your charge controller sees, and your battery also being 3s or 4s at 12V (x2) for a 24V system

The main thing i see here is your solar panels, it is observed that panels with Trina solar slapped on them from Alaba, there is a 50/50 chance it is

1. Used panel sent over from abroad

2. It has dropped its power due to long time in service or as Dam5reey as said it is a 12V panel falsely labelled as 24V

In short there is no potential flow of power from your panels down to battery,

Try and series your panels together to achieve higher voltage as that should be able to charge your battery ... 50V or higher I guess is the Voc of your Controller so two in series should work with no problem

OkoroPeugeot:


The battery is Lithium so I think it only does the auto switching for Lead acid batteries and does not support 24v for Lithium .

I'd revert the connection to 12v and plan towards the MPPT.

Thanks so much!

Then you need to upgrade your panels to produce more power; attached is power production of a typical tier 2 panel

I don't know much about the batteries you listed but I am sure many others who use it can give a better insight

kaziem:


I am actually considering LiFePo4 of 24v 200Ah or 5kw capacity so I feel I am not undersizing.

Now talking about LiFePO4 with good BMS, this is why I need advice on good brands.

Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 3:24pm On Dec 21, 2021
Let's assume you
1. Plan to charge with grid and solar - your inverter will charge your battery at bulk/absorption but at float it won't make sense to charge with it being a pre-program parameters

Seek for an inverter with editable parameters or continue to use your inverter but never use grid to charge since you don't plan to monitor

2. Assuming your charge controller is editable, your panels is enough to charge your batteries without loads

3. Since your loads is unknown in your quote, it is safe to assume it abides by 50% DoD of your LA Batteries else you might undersize for the lithium battery too

4. LiFePO4 is a safer chemistry over Li-ion so there is little to zero chance of explosion while charging

5.if yoir battery is built with a good BMS then you only need to install and forget while focusing on productive activities
