Okay, I think I am able to pick this now...mine is 320W max in this harmattan (555w Jinko panel)
Yeah, that's right about what my setup maxes out at now. ~1300w from 2200w of panels.

Ok guys, I just figured out the issue. It’s from the Twin tech Panel. I have been duped of my hard earned 45k.

This is what I found out after testing the 2 panels separately:
Single Connection at 1:20pm
Africell
20Volts 3.8Amps =76Watts
Twintech
15Volts 0.6Amps = 9Watts
Connecting both
15Volts 3.4Amps = 51Watts


Notice that Africell is giving 42% output while the Twin Tech is not significant. Now combining the two in parallel affects the entire system to a very low output. Now I am certain of the issue.

People are wicked o.
What you should have done since sha. Anyways good you figured out and see MPPT is not really a magician PWM will do the same Job if sized properly using recommended Panel voltage.

nawa o it's been long I came online.

It's a good thing you've found out the culprit.

I thought you actually went for africell? What made you go for the twin tech brand?

Return it back ASAP so they'll change it for you cos they'll never refund. Just go with a multimeter and make sure to test the ampere and voltage of the panel.

Or you can get a multimeter there in the market cos I got one for 10,500 the last time I was there.

I got it somewhere else. Yes I am returning it. I will go with the Controller. I believe controller will do the same job. The only thing that can burn a controller is if the current is too much (over the prescribed current).

I don’t have a multimeter, it’s quite expensive. The meter I have can only measure voltages. And their voltages are ok so far so good.
A multimeter costs less than 10k

Oga get yourself a multimeter..it is useful for many things not just solar....I got mine 4days ago at the rate of 6k in arena, in your area it can't be more then 7/8k....from my reading...am getting 4.5/5amp on my 200w africell panel...I did not focus on voltage cos am using pwd controller I only need 13/14 volts.

All multimeter can read DC current na you no Sabi the settings..you remove the red cable from Vma to ADC and set your meter A~..check YouTube for video

Good morning everyone. Compliments of the season.

Please can this generator charge a 1.1kva inverter?

Okay. Thanks. So should I get a lesser capacity inverter? Let's say less than 1kva

Why not get a higher capacity gen instead?

it depends on the inverter charge current and load connected at the time charging is been done, first let us know model of inverter and the battery voltage

Can I have reference of cctv installation page like this one....
Omoohh

Mention me there so I up my knowledge too in this work.....
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by litaninja(m): 12:13pm On Dec 23, 2024
Yes, I asked about that option. Challenge i ran into is that they mostly want to replace with a non-inverter compressor, the one person that said they'll do an inverter compressor was quoting prices close to getting a new AC, and still couldn't guarantee the issue will be fixed. I just decided its not worth the hassle.

Trippledots:
Instead of just discarding it, why not see if you can replace the compressor by a capable technician? You would probably find a hack to a recurring problem most people would be facing and save more than buying a new AC.

Although you don buy the new AC according to your post. 😂

Good evening to y’all great people
What capacity of stabilizer will be suitable for 4.2kw inverter to be able to charge it with grid power supply?

5000w stabilizer will work, using one personally, reduced ac charge current to 40a or 50a

Gen is too pricey now, I can't afford that for the now..

This is the inverter. Pictures attached.. The inverter model is EcoVolt Neo 900VA / 12V. How can I check for the battery voltage?

Battery voltage is 12v, the generator should power it

2000w will also do the job, but reduce your charge current to 10a or 20a, it also depends on your mains voltage as a too low voltage will reduce your stabilizer's output capacity
