happy new year everyone, I'm about beginning my solar journey this year.
I bought the following
28ah lithium battery from ameh
2×150w panels
1 ceepro 12v 500w inverter

my issue now is charge controller, which amp will be good for a 28ah lithium battery is it 10a or 20a(pwm)?
20A is okay. but make sure it has editable charge settings

how much did you get the battery and panels
battery 25k, the panel is not brand new I bought them 30k, ceepro inverter 30k

28ah lithium battery is quite small, barely 300wh, so will power a 30w load for 8 to 10hrs, if fully charged...hope your load is that small.

I would advice if you can..buy a big mppt cc, cos i forsee you upgrading pretty soom.

If you can afford the 52k MPPT, then I support that suggestion. With your lithium and an appropriately sized load, the satisfaction you'll get will likely tempt you to upgrade sooner than later. If you own a 60amp MPPT now, it will not be a headache by then.

So I got an MPPT controller

It charges now but I noticed the highest power I'm getting from two 250w panels connected in parallel is 150w (Around 12pm)

How much is a genuine 300w panel from source?

OkoroPeugeot:
For those with experience using budget PWM controllers

I had a setup with 24v panel and 12v battery with a 30A pwm controller.

It was working properly but I read charging would be faster from here if everything matches so I got a 24v inverter and 24v battery.

Normally the arrow on the controller blinks but now in the morning the panel icon comes up and the arrow just stays steady and the battery voltage barely increases all day.

The controller has 12/24v so I'm confused. Has anybody experienced this?

(ps. I know I should upgrade to mppt and would do that when I get funds or an mppt fan dashes me grin

You have MPPT, put them in series, you can get 250w for around 55k..

connect the panels in series for better efficiency. Also check your wire and installation.

Good morning house,pls we recently did a 4 battery setup.It's Mpower 220ah indian battery.
On our Kartel inverter , the Voltage at Nepa Full charge (100%) is 56.8v

On our Epever charge controller,it's 57.3v.My confusion is how to know the 50% DOD voltage for the battery so i won't allow it drain below that.

So after connecting I'm getting 76v with multimeter at the panel

76v also at the wires before I connect them to the controller.

When I connect it to the controller it shows 73v as it starts then reduces to 29/30v and starts charging.

Now I'm confused. I'm getting 15/17w this morning.

Which MPPT you got?

Your batteries voltage is 12 or 24V..

Something is wrong obviously with the panel..

You can set the Cut off to 48V, SOC is hard to determine on Lead acid unlike the Lifepo4, where BMS tells you.

If you are willing to add this device it will help determine SOC..

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.

At 50% DOD battery should be 12.06v x 4 =48.24v.

Of course it is possible, get info on line about hybrid inverters with battery less operation..

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by samnaija: 8:30pm On Jan 06, 2022
There are hybrid inverters that can be operated without batteries.

And also there are micro inverters that can be connected to solar panels directly and inverts from DC to ac direct .

This chart sums it up a bit, provided by @androblaze... I think.

I connected my 2 units of fullriver batteries in parallel and used it over the night. When I woke up this morning, one of the batteries has dropped to 12.0v while the other one is still at 12.7v.

Please, why is that so and what am I possible doing wrong?
