u have moderate load. u need a
24v 3kva hybrid inverter
24v 280ah Lifepo4 Lithium batteries.
about 3000w of solar panels
budget atleast 1.5m

I think this is too much for someone on a budget

2.5kva 24v can still do the job even 2kva 24v.

His current draw during the day won't be more that 1.5A.
Pannel he needs to charge 280w 4v for 6hrs Sun at 50% loss is roughly 1680W +350W for load during day that's 2030W.

So 350w *6 will charge the battery full during the day while your load is on while you use the battery while Sun is out during night.

My setup is 350w *4 and 2.5va with 2*200AH battery with similar load,i use it while charging during,full battery by or b4 5pm and it lasts all night

WAHALA UNA SAY NO DE FINISH!

Few months ago I started my solar journey with a 3kva/24v Gennex Hybrid Inverter with 60A MPPT Charger inbuilt.

My PV arrays are 355W x4. (Canada Panel)
with 2 De-Bull 230ah tubular batteries.

After installation, the batteries were left to charge for 2 days without any load on the inverter.

After one week of installation and usage, running a moderate load of about 150w all around, the batteries started entering low mode. sometimes, as soon as the charging sources are switched off, the battery indicators drop 2 bars out of 4 to show inky 2 bars of battery reserve left without any load.

After going back and forth and taking the batteries back to the dealer to be charged etc.., the engineer of the company told me that I need add more panels.

Today I changed the batteries to dry cells, and also got same results of battery indicator dropping to 2 bars when d sun has gone off.

Could it be that my Inverter ain't charging the battery properly or the Inverter is draining the batteries?

Can you snap the all the readings on your system for us to help.

Some possible things:

the charging system may not be ok.(some inbuilt mppt na scam)

The inverter might be drawing nice amount of load .

Try charging your new batteries with NEPA full for the first time b4 installation.

Do this: try borrowing an external mppt charger and charge battery full then see if same will repeat. If it does your inverter is a monster.

All so Get a clamp meter to check current draw from battery on no load(this will proof if your inverter is the problem or not)

Also check if your inverter supports your battery technology. Connecting the inverter to battery alone for a while during installation will help the inverter detect it and choose the appropriate charging calibration

ceaser:


This is a bad testimony after the possible many successful transactions the merchant has conducted here.

First, there are possibilities for errors by merchants during selection and shipping process. But once their attention is called to it, the alacrity and sincerity with which the error is quickly corrected to favour the aggrieved party (the buyer in this case) goes a long way to tell if customer satisfaction still remains number one priority after several successful sales. There was once a story here of a successful merchant on this thread who gradually slid into pomposity and insincerity and he was thankfully replaced just in time by people like justcallmenuel and wilmaria at that right moment. If these two mentioned merchants hope to remain relevant here and not go the way of that unnamed merchant, it is better to learn from his errors. Once you notice there is a problem with transaction, do well to quickly resolve it before it piques the buyer long enough to make him/her create a thread on it. One good business acumen is to know when to give in to a single customer's demands even if it means you losing a few bucks because in return, the good testimony will earn you trust and patronage from hundreds other customers.

I hope willmaria will sort it out and give us reasons not to worry.

Secondly, what dá hell is this new fad with merchants trying to fly the option of buying "used solar panels" from them when the initial conversation clearly indicated interest in buying new panels?

A buyer that I referenced to one of our numerous merchants reported back disaapointedly to me. First, the merchant tried to box him into getting extra of what he does not need - he needed three pcs 24v solar panels, but the seller tried to convince him that they (solar panel merchants generally) no longer sell odd numbers but in pairs. Please I need someone to corroborate or disprove this notion as merchant's new policy. So the buyer that needed three panels will need to either buy two pieces (one short of what he needs) or buy four pieces (one in excess of what he needs which won't be useful in the short term). He then said when he insisted to the seller that under no circumstance will he get one extra panel that he won't be needing, the seller then mischievously slid in the statement, "except you will buy fairly used which is the only ones we can sell in odd numbers".

Like wtf! If you stock used panels, that is your headache. Keep if for those who for personal reasons have solid interest in buying used ones, not trying to push your unsold stocks to buyers that had no interest in such in the first instance.

I await a time I will need to make personal purchases from my favourite merchants here and see if they come up with such funny attitudes. I pray to God I have a solid and reasonable replacement merchant standby and at the nick of time when such happens.



@bolded. cheesy I like this style sha o. Keep it up o. I go send buyers to you soon.



One is a coincidence. Two is a pattern already. Three is a sure behaviour. This is quite common with cables and wires purchased. Once the cable length is much, they end up sending you something short by two or three meters. They get lucky if the deficient kebght sent is still sufficient for your installation cos you may not notice. But if you're lucky and unlucky enough to discover because the wire length fron your panels failed to reach your controllers cheesy, and you complain to 'em, the next thing is to blame their boys. Meanwhile in some instances, na dem be the boys o;, shadowing for many shops simultaneously.
Boss till now he has not sent it back to get in touch with me and have gotten green light from Felicity

Those bar readings are usually wrong and are calibated to read full at 14v and above.
The resting voltage of most lead acid batteries is 13v, and 12.7v if any load is attached to it. So going by the bars thing...it will never read full bars after sundown....

Take a digital meter and read the battery voltages, dont rely on bars...

Lastly ensure the charging voltage specs as written on your battery is being followed by your inverter/charge controller......ie bulk, absorb and float settings

Stop using voltage to calculate your battery percentage it is very wrong. Most inverters especially chinese ones use voltage to calculate remaining battery capacity. Also your inverter which I use has a low voltage disconnect function and calculated battery percentage based on that. Get a proper battery meter that has a shunt to calculate your battery capacity or measure your remaining capacity the old way of turn off all load, waiting about 1 hr and measure the voltage. Then calculate capacity using a voltage chart

- Will this work on ANY type pf battery? (AGM, LA, Lithium, LiFePo4, etc)
- Please explain what and use of the "Shunt" is. I dont understand it.
- Will it make any difference if the Current of the System is over 200A? Will the Shunt still work?

Thanks for the interest.

Yes, it works on any kind of battery.

The shunt is the current sensor the meter uses to measure current.

I am yet to try it on a 200A system, but it will probably give an error reading, or not calculate it.
