Hello house 👋🏾

I have a problem with my 8kva felicity inverter and my installer isn’t even coming to check it.

It trips off load all the time. I bought 8 unit of 600W panels, only 7 was connected, 1 was broken. At 100% capacity, it supposed to give me 4.2kW but I know that it’s not possible. I’d be receiving 3.5 - 4kW but I don’t get up to 500W total wattage from it. The 4 wet batteries are starplus products.

Now it doesn’t work effectively except I connect it to NEPA, but I should not be on NEPA because I’m not paying for it. I was even disconnected from NEPA which is very much ok, my solar energy system is supposed to be sufficient for me without NEPA.

The installer has refused to show up. What do you advise?

I’m in Lagos, in case you suggest another experienced installer and you can share their contact with me.

why is your installer not attending to you ?

But from the mere fact you mentioned such a low quality battery as starPlus, coupled with the fact you complain of low output, tells me dem don run you street and you probably have stopped pumping out more money for said installer to continue coming.

See eh, that battery na rubbish. What makes you think even the Solar panels are close to average.

Well if you're in need of an installer, you might have to state your exact location (Lagos no be street address) so those closest to you would respond.

Would have asked you share pictures of the Solar panels, Charge controller (if dedicated), and even inverter but no need. Person wey him cloth dirty, you need not wonder how clean the panties would be.

Hopefully, the broken Solar panel is excluded from the installation sha

Okota, Lagos. Please send me a mail.

I know Ago palace way, 08111805040 | 09020325050 if it's ain't yet resolved

i dont trust wall stabs, they are way lighter in weight compared to normal units of same capacity. That clicking sound is the relays, while servo stabs uses a different mechanism, kinda mechanical . Google the differences. I intend buying the qasa 10kva normal unit, weighs 65kg, while prag 15kva wall unit weighs 30kg. That difference dey surprise me..

if you creative enough, you could turn a standard stabilizer to wall based.

A mobile phone whose selling point is having powerBank capability, hardly gives you reward for your money

Dharyhor:
Good evening bosses

Kindly recommend reliable AC/DC non rechargeable standing fan.
The two I've bought so far had rotation issues few months after purchase

why not fix them, rather than buying yet another one ?

And try avoid the fancy ones.

bodeface:
Hello All,
Please, can you provide me with the Charge controllers with Maximum PV Voltage up to 450V ,available in the market
All mentions are appreciated.

See eh, a lot depends on quality.

Some chargeControllers, rated 60amps struggle at 40amps loads while another rated 40amps would handle that 40amps without feeling it at all.

You get what you pay for all

You're right about that mobile phone analogy tho.. lol

I've tried that, the repairer couldn't fix it

Dharyhor:

Most times, rotation issues is caused by bad gear (often made of plastic) teeth. You would know if it tries to rotate it's head, but stop along the way.

Could you confirm what you observe. Most times, just saying something doesn't work, without throwing more light as to what you actually observed, doesn't help much.

Also have you tried another repairer ? Wonder why they can't fix it. Can't say the motor is bad since it's controlled by same motor which rotates the fan blades and since you haven't complained the fan blades are not rotating, means the motor works well.

kristien4:
Anyone has any idea on any good servo stabilizer, bought prag 30kva, and it got bad within few months, has anyone used himel or Mercury brand of servo stabilizer??

Except you figure out reason why it went bad, you risk running into same issue again.
Could be due to low quality, factory fault(s) or something within your installation.

To our experts or experienced people in the house,
are all mppt in our hybrid inverters created equal. Are there brands that are known for effective & efficient charging.

I ask because the rate & efficiency of charge I experienced using growatt inverter appears to be better. Any thoughts on this

Since all INVERTERs are not created equal, then no way the ChargeController component would be equal, among and across brands.

Except you buying a standAlone, dedicated chargeController, you get what you get.

and who told you that all (or most) hybrid inverters contains MPPT chargers ?

See eh, even among PWMs, there are levels. Let alone MPPT. Majority comes with PWM with varying degree of quality and performance.

brightk:
lol.. abeg how did u conclude the battery is discharging itself... let's start from there

Doctor wey dey prescribe drugs, and conclude on ailment based on phone call. Technicians and Professionals sha dey. people like us still dey learn.

mctfopt:
But that wider range is an advantage too 😀

when you run a Mikano generator on a load small enough for a small Tiger "I Better Pass My Neighbor" generator, of course it works well BUT don't expect fuel consumption to be same as what the small Tiger generator would use.

Must waybill? Payment first, no escrows

Would you mind sharing why you don't support escrows ?

mangolpupa:
TBB Power has been popping up lately on the forum, do you have info on how to get a distributor?

I thought growatt & srne were some kind of voltronic/axpert system albeit modified.

I went from Growatt to Sako. My experience is that my old growatt charges better. The Sako is still serving well though. But I only wish it would give me the growatt efficiency which I experienced.

I will check if there is a firmware update for the inverter.

Except you're a TESTer, why keep moving from brand to brand if you've got a couple that serves you above average already ?

Una sha get money Ooo

High chief happy Sunday.
No be money matter oo. Had to change inverter as old growatt wasn't going to meet my updated daily load.

Who have tried this cc. Is it truly 80a?

Okay, will try another repairer

Wow 😮 thank you for this explanation.

Please which high quality wet cell battery would you recommend for me?

Also, which product of solar panels are the best to use? I think the ones I bought are ‘Dana’ product

why spend so much on 80A PWM , when u can get powmr 60A mppt for 91k.

it's too early or late to ask such questions.

Would suggest first looking for someone who knows what they're doing. Let said person examine what's currently available, then decide on what needs be done taking consideration of available resources.

Thank you, I’d take your advice.

Its a PWM charge controller. Its a cheaper technology compared to MPPT versions. So yes its 80A..

So I finally got the Junctek KMF device to monitor my battery away from home. Arrived Nigeria, I installed it yesterday and it's working flawlessly. It's connected to my house WiFi and I can be in Zimbabwe and know what's happening at home to my battery solar setup.

A feature I wish it had is a log to show me how much I've generated or consumed in a day or week or month or year.

Nice product.

Obnoxious2001:
03 error means battery voltage is high, which may be as a result of overcharge.

Check your charge settings first

It brings the code randomly and not even when charging, it can come up when the battery is even at 60% and when we restart, it becomes normal again. After some hours same thing reoccur

I can't trust a 3rd party am not familiar with who would probably be suggested by the buyer ( because I know no escrows)


A 14yr NL account should speak enough volume for itself. If I can't be trusted, it's best I wait for buyers from benin or buyers arrange deal through a person who he/she knows in my city

Unless escrow is in my city!

....and I even have one on sale exact same price

hmm
See eh, both BUYer and SELLer have got every right to have trust issue(s). Now you don't want to trust and take the risk; but you expects the other party to do so.

Also, don't know who told you guys the age of an account should automatically be considered as trust Worthy.

Let me stop here
