U misunderstand the meaning of bell & whistles

Juror:

DC breaker polarity wasn't adhered to.

What if the tech guy in his ultimate wisdom decided to use red cable for negative and black cable for positive?

Please which of these inverters should I go for, considering I want to be able to charge the battery with NEPA, Gen & Solar?

Luminous 1.5KVA/24v Solar Hybrid Inverter
ECOVOLT 1500VA/24V
Luminous Optimus 1600VA/24V

Note: I need the one that will stand the test of time.

They'll all good. I have a Luminous 1.5kva 24v iON model that been in operation since 2017. It's almost working 24/7 and no issue till date. So go for any model, you are good.

I appeal to both parties to please seize fire!

@ZeeStone99:
I seriously doubt if a client would come to a public forum like this to air his discontentment with a service if he isn't pained or incur losses or inefficiently served. Remember, at his first post, he didn't mention your name, so I think he never meant any harm to you nor your brand. He was expressing himself until you identified yourself and came to your defense.

Please NOTE, the issue here isn't about your technical competence, but a third party component which many variables can account for is the crux of the matter.

There's no installer who has done quite a number of roof works that hasn't damaged client's roof before, some times extensively. I've replaced asbestos roofing sheets for a client before.

So many of us still hold you in high esteem in the midst of all of this.

So, brother, simply APOLOGIZE to the client irrespective of how you feel and let this matter rest.

@FireTheSun:
Oga, abeg, no vex!

God bless us, all!

Thank you for your intervention, l do appreciate your input and concern
Like you observed, all l did was "express my experience" on "an Installer", without mentioning any name, even when l was put under pressure and even insulted, by one member here, for not revealing the Name of the installer!

But at times, People take this their bravado to extreme levels, thinking they can bluff their way through.
He has lied over and over again, called me names on this Public forum, just to defend identifying himself as the author of that Unprofessional Work!

But let me reiterate:
- The Damage was to many Roofing Sheets on my Roof, during his Solar panel Installation

- It was caused by walking on the Sheets, in a most careless manner (as you would have read on the message l sent to him, when the work was ongoing, and the response he gave).
- The Sheets are strong enough to carry an Installer, if he treads carefully but he had five People on the Roof, including himself, at a time!

- I asked that Pictures be taken for me, of the damage and l forwarded some of these pictures to him last year.

- Another Installer installed even bigger and heavier Panels on another side of the Roof, that had the same Roofing sheet Covering

- This installer treaded carefully and did not damage any Roof and there was No leakage thereafter, which proves that the damage has nothing to do with the "technical component or specs of of the Roofing Sheet".
Even if it does, all he has to say is "I can work on this Roof" and l will discharge him peacefully.

- As they were walking on the Roof, l was hearing the CRUSHING SOUND of their steps, as they crumpled the Roof. I did not hear same, when the other Installer was doing his install. What does that say?

- He sent a Roofer to come and plug some of the leaks created by the holes resulting from the crushing.
But how does that remedy "Crushed Roofing Sheets", since he keeps LYING and CLAIMING he has remedied the situation?

- Aluminum Steptile Roofing Sheets are not like Asbestos Roofing Sheet, if he has the "knowledge and technical experience", of installing on them, like the second "Professional installer" l later engaged, he would have known how to navigate carefully on my Roof.

Me, l nor vex o! "Anger" is not a strategy, as it is said.
He wants to prove me wrong, he wants to prove l am just a bored person, an idle person, someone who "wakes up and says rubbish", an exaggerator, someone God cannot help , etc.. among the few Names he has called me on this public thread (I have screenshots of all of them)

And l insist, having identified himself, that he is "a Quack and Technically Incompetent, as an installer", for damaging my Roof.

Both of us cant be right, an independent adjudicator will decide who is right. He can sue me, if he choses, for calling him such Name.

There is a Proverb that literally translates that "if #1 wants to insult or publicly damage your reputation, you wont mind spending #10 to clear your name".

Once again, l thank you for your inputs.
He does not even need to Apologize, except he accept full responsibility for the damage he caused, ....."insincere apology" is worse than "No Apology".

Pic wiring is not clear. The wiring should be from main circuit breaker which I think is 63a (which is DC and so wrong) to the AC spd and from the spd to other AC breakers

Best you go for an inv erter with editable charge voltage settings,
Luminous doesnt have that setting, so a deal breaker for me.

If its normal sealed leadacid you intend to use..you cud be fine, but if its flooded battery...then its important you get an inverter with the functionality i explained above

I had a grin when I checked the meaning ... Truly plenty bell and whistle. But they sure give peace of mind especially if your an installer.

Thanks for adding a new vocal to dictionary

earthrealm:

The 63A is meant to isolate inverter incase of overload according to estimated loads and also DC ... So not the regular main switch breakers with no tripping feature

As for the other AC connections they are okay and in line with your description according to incoming

Namzy:

This is quite spot on & a very direct answer

The site for some reason had other things connected to non isolated loads destroyed by unknown surge or spike but inverter supplied loads plus inverter were not damaged ... These happened twice within two weeks period

The aim of picture is to draw our attention to importance of SPD and most importantly the right types of SPD

Noticed it is rated @ 275Vac - Uc i.e. inline with RMS and close to Un of 230Vac of our local supply

Schneider 1500va I've has flooded battery settings...

zeestone99:

Just install protective devices. Avr's and spd's

1. By Avr's, do you mean stabilizer?

Because the main source from NEPA is connected to 5000VA Century stabilizer I bought last year.

2. By spd's do you mean Surge Protecting Device?

All outlet except electric stove are connected with D-Marc TV Guide

Please answer yes or no according to the two questions above

Okay thanks, but which among the three models listed can I use Generator, Nepa & Solar Panels to charge?

Still waiting for response to this

Use a trusted multimeter to take readings and compare with the bms. I'll suggest you trust the BMS more.

What brand is your CC ?
is the felicity inverter the same as the one in the attached picture?

That is the exact type of inverter

most luminous inverter are designed by luminous intheir wisdom..to output max 14.4 volts and dont hv desulphation setting. flooded batteries are happiest charging at 14.8 v olts and desulphating at 15.5 volts for 4hrs every few months.
those inverters you listed there dont have those capabilities............

it will work o....but the battery will not be very happy...and may likely dont serve at its optimum rating

with editable battery voltage charge setting...you can set the charge voltage to what u want and also use it to desulphate even if your inverter doesnt hv a dedicated desulphation button...

other than that, luminous is a strong inverter, hv used the luminoius ion in a setup for over 10yrs, only issue was stuff cooling fanfrom dust...which was replaced. however that design flaw isnt serious if using normal smf battery,,apart from quanta/flooded battery....quanta likes to be charged at 13,8 volts

I installed 1 wakatek 5kw battery and later added another after 3 weeks. The 2 are in parallel. The last one I installed is making a kind of fuming noise when charging with grid from my Felicity inverter. So I checked the charger amps which was set at 40a. I reduced it to 30a but could still hear the fuming sound from battery number 2. I had to reduce all the way to 10a b4 it became quiet.

Pls does anyone know the right charge AC charging points for this batteries.
For now am only charging from PV.

Please explain the bolded. Does this apply to Quanta SMF VRLA AGM batteries or just the flooded?

Please explain the bolded. Does this apply to Quanta SMF VRLA AGM batteries or just the flooded?

this is simple enough naaaah----------luminous inverters set their maxx bulk charging voltage at 14.4 volts. quanta spec says 13.8 volts, flooded spec needs 14.8 volts, so what do you think will happen to these batteries since luminous is giving them 14.4 volts max?

every standard battery has its recommended float and bulk voltages written on the body. so user/installer should set the battery charge voltahe to match this manufacturer specs for optimum perfornance of the battery. but most installers are ignorant, owners are even worse .

Attched pic is from my sorotec inverter displaying this info.
other old inverters hv a rotary switch that corresponds to a set voltage...... but luminous and other low end inverters hv sturbbornly refused to incorporate this into their design,

This picture had me burst out a hard laugh .... The installer no try at all.

Just wondering what went through their mind to plan such a system that will not work as designed.
