Where can I buy a rectifier that would take 230v AC to 12v DC?

Nice one, wanted getting the Jinko 475w initially but went for higher wattage to reduce the numbers of panels on the roof.

Please what is the process of buying on Aliexpress?

I am seeing it way cheaper on Aliexpress....100A in lagos market is 300k which is crazy

Powmr now 110k?
Omo this is loud.

Bought mine then for 34k AliExpress though.

Hello good day guys, please what do you think about the Felicity lithium 10 kWh battery. Is it a better option than tubular and lead acid batteries?

Also how long do you think it can power a 100 w tv and A.C with Power Input (Cooling) of 1,170W running together if paired with a 10kva inverter

I don't really understand what you intend to pair together.
Please that inverter is too big for 10kwh lithium battery unless you intend to go for two units.
For the first question, the answer is yes.

The second question does not have direct answer because no one here knows the quality of cells Felicity used in building that system. Correct answer may be given based on theoretical calculation but you may see wrong answer on application because of the condition of unbalanced cell who usually decide what happens to whole pack.

Good day boses
I just installed this 12v 2kva Sms sunmate Hybrid inverter. Owner has a cheat freezer of 105w. My concern now is, the inverter couldn't power the freezer even while all other loads are off.
I know freezer has an higher startup current, i just thought the 2kva will be enough to power it.

My question is, what size of inverter will be recomendable for that size of freezer?

That SMS inverter must be seriously overrated not to handle this load. I once ran a Scan Frost freezer (non inverter type) of 150w on a 1.5kva 24v Luminous inverter (on four nos 200ah lead acid batteries). Noticed the starting surge is like 6x the freezer's wattage rating as it hits a momentary 800w as it the compressor starts.

If the inverter ain't the culprit, you may consider the battery next. If the battery ain't ok or enough, the startup surge may drop the battery below the inverter's low voltage disconnect.

There is a problem somewhere that you need to trace.
This is the freezer I'm using and the start up current is not high compared to others.
You would start it with 240w-105w = 135w. So 135w is the start up power of that freezer. I tested it this morning.

In the first place, he's not even supposed to power that load on the 12v battery except with a higher capacity like 12v 230ah or 280ah. Powering it with sufficient pv during the day is always recommended
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by JoeSef0(m): 8:48am On Jan 26
The battery and inverter are brand new. 240ah Xtra power tubular batery so i don't think it could be the battery. And whenever i put on the freezer the inverter will just turn off ac for some seconds and after i turn the freezer off it will come on again bor i manually off the inverter and turn it on again, which ia quite different from the Inverter screening overload sound. Also I've had same observation with this small 2000w souer inverter with a fridge. It was same reclamation (inverter turns off ac until i turn off the fridge, so i thought those small inverter don't really have much strength that's why it couldn't handle it. But this 2kva inverter is just a surprise to me

It's your battery or cable. The battery may not be fully charged. Make sure the battery is fully charged then reduce the cable length and increase the cable Guage. I doubt anything is wrong with your inverter.

You'd be surprised it's hitting LVD due to the in ability of your battery to provide the surge needed to start up the compressor. You can solve this problem by adding one more battery to the set up and increasing the cable size.

I won't advice you to power your freezer with just one battery. You'd be exceeding the recommended discharge current since you will be powering other things/appliances too. Your battery would die in less than 2 years.

Forget that 105watts written on that freezer the apperent power is different which increases energy losses so in real life situation your freezer is using up more than that 105watts
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by JoeSef0(m): 10:53am On Jan 26
Thanks for this.. the inverter is currently running the freezer now, there was nepa light before which was used to start up the freezer, when the light went off the inverter contained to run the freezer.. I'll turn it off and restart the freezer now that the battery is more than 50% charged.
As for the battery to inverter connection, i used a 4mm double core cable (not upto 1.5yrds long) cos sms backup inverter didn't create more room to use fit in bigger cable to the battery port on the inverter. I'll try and see if i can double the cable.

12v 2kva one battery for a freezer is a design to fail from the start.

First, is the inverter psw?
Is the inverter truly 2kva, 1kva continuous?
Is the battery amp true?
Cable is most times the culprit on a fair charged battery.

My inverter is just 12v 1.6kva brandless Chinese inverter with true 800w( same line with easun) continuous. Freezer is 115w and working on just 12v 100ah LifePO4. Even my roughly 12v 130A lithium ion battery at just 11.2v(full charge at 12.6v) powers the said load above.

So the believe that load like this requires 24v and a higher battery amperage is false based on the above load. My opinion.

Team 12v....

The fact that it is one battery is not entirely true sir. One battery as lead or lithium should be the question. 12v is permissible till 1000w max load.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by JoeSef0(m): 12:53pm On Jan 26
Thanks for the input everyone.
After charging the battery well with AC and PV...
I finally turned of NEPA and run the freezer... It powered it and when the load settled. I turned on all the other loads and the total was just 11-13% load. Out of the total 2kva. So i think everything is good now
