Anyone with a used hybrid or standalone inverter you'd like to sell? Preferably 3.5kva and above.

I got this 24V 2.5KVA Afriipower inverter late January, about a week ago, I changed over to use Public power while I was only charging the batteries with the inverter and charge controller via the panels. Immediately they took away public power, the inverter started showing "short circuit, system shutdown"... It refused to power anything after that... I thought it was the fused that got blown, but the fuses are good... Tested them with multimeter and even replaced them with the spare that came with the product... Still the inverter refused to power anything.

I feel sad.

Please is there a better but cheaper brand of inverter of same spec I should go for?

Also, would taking this one for fixing be cost effective than buying a new and different brand inverter?

I bought the inverter 140k and it's bad barely two months.... Not like it was even connected to the load in the house when the incident happened.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Sorry about this situation, bro. But I suspect this could be an error code that can be cleared. Once had a similar experience with a 24v Luminous inverter I had back then.

Check the manual to see if there is a list of error code. Also check Youtube as well. Someone may have made a video about it. As a last resort, if you bought it directly from the distributors, you may want to activate your warranty/support clause(s) with them.

I hope the issue eventually geta resolved

I feel you, bro. Life hard naturally. But life in Nigeria is exceptionally hard. Just take comfort in the several months of convenience you have enjoyed from your system and future benefits you will get as well. It cannot be compared with the wahala of running generator.

Reach out to me to share the contact of the man that sells the charger in Mushin at a good price. I bought it last for 18k or so. The price should still hover around that

It is also a very good idea to go solar. With properly sized and positioned panels and a good charge controller as well, your batteries would begin charging as early as 6:45 - 7am, once the faintest ray of sunlight emerges.

Dont wait till you have all the money to go solar. Start buying the components gradually because their prices are on steroids and yeasts - they rise everyday! 6mm3 cable wey I buy 900/yard last year, i nearly got a heart attack when they quoted 1,600/yard in Arena a few weeks back. And you will need several yards.

You can reach me also for a budget but effective MPPT controller that comes with a complementary DC breaker

Cheers bro!

Wawu.. Thank you very much.. Am reaching out immediately.

I appreciate this insight..

God bless you very much..

Tell your installer to Take it to their service
center. He can give u a temporary inverter to use pending wen it would be fixed( that's what we do anyway).
Afripower is a strong brand. They were formerly contec

@contease. The barb wire will give you a little bit of shadow I guess, that may reduce your output by 20-30% especially with the few lines of electrical cables I can see passing on the panels.

Many thanks for your observation and thoughts...

Using the basic phone compass followed by my feasibility study, the sun rises and sets right along the fence precisely from left to right wing of the panels standing i from of them. With that, am not sure the barb wires will cast a single shadow on the Panels, atleast I observed the sun rise to sun set yesterday being "SUNDAY"...

Secondly, there is no single cable running on the Panels... Each panel is just divided into two equal halves by design, I guess that's what you see and assumed to be a running cable...

But one question please, I noticed my yield is generated and rated in UNIT. And this is not so convenient for me to understand or convert...

The make/Brand is HV version of Ashapower... Got it directly from India...

As per the LV Cable you sighted, I can tell you, the distance between the panels and those over head cables is the height of an adult which means the shadow thins out if it lands/cast on the Panels so that can not be an issue in my opinion...

Sir, reading this explanation now contradicts the impression I got from the main post.

If you had not explained with this post, I was tempted to believe that you agreed with him and you were sharing the info with us.

I was almost believing his position, perhaps you should find a way to edit that post so that folks understand that you do not agree with what he said.

viperVIP:
After being struck by malaria and not having the strength to type, I had to force myself having read what @techgeek777 wrote, on seeing @Valto's explanation, I felt relieved only to see that @techgeek777 still don't get it.

The mantims guy is a scam! I have bought both cells and packs severally from @Valto, no issues at all, he sells Grade A verifiable from the QR code. I've had to peel off the cover on one of his cells to see if there's a trick underneath but all came out fine.

I have no idea what grade this @mantims sells, but definitely not a veritable sales, I began suspecting him when he said he doesn't like selling cells, only built packs which he doesn't expect or want you to open. What's he hiding He gave 3 years warranty, ofcourse used cells will survive this under moderate use, digging deeper into some of his advertised pictures on here, I found out the QR codes are absent.

If you have taken time to learn on YouTube from those who has bought the good and bad ones, you will understand more.

I bought it February this year. It just smoked without any warning or even protecting itself. The lead never even exceeded 60%. Even if it's a load issue, it claims to have overload protect

I've contacted the marketer I bought it from on their website and he is saying that their warranty does not cover burnings of components but that I should still send them the stabilizer

Do you have any idea how long it takes for them to fix it?

I recently had an inverter that stopped working less than 3 months of purchase. Next i was slammed with a bill of 120k for repairs.
Reason: the components inside failed, hence it's not covered .
This then begs the question of what exactly is covered?
