I think you're better off getting another inverter brand 80A with 600w max pv array is useless
Check for other brands. It will cost you more but it's gonna be worth it
will do that, thanks

Abeg, for those using Cworth, do you use Cworth's recommended charge settings(float and bulk) or you use something different?

For example for their 12v 200ah battery, they advise using 13.8 for bulk, 13.6 for float.

14 to 14.2 for both..

13.6V with Float bug your batteries will not charge

First tin I asked her to do after someone here told me it's a short circuit. Didn't work. I guess the inverter is bad. I sent someone over to retrieve the inverter and have it fixed . Thanks
bbally:
Let her switch off the output breaker if installed or disconnect the output cables and recheck

But how do I know if my system has a Float bug?

I'm using the 60a PowMr charge controller that you recommended. Combined watt power of 1050w connected to the controller in series.

I've noticed that my battery hardly gets full, although I do have load of around 160w on during the day.

Charge controller should not have, however best voltage to charge is from 14v to 14.2V
For Both Bulk/absorption and Float.

I am not sure the wait is up to 3 months. Perhaps people who have experienced it can share their experience. But I think if you look at the prices of some of the batteries,the wait is well worth it! For instance, 25.6v 100 ah 2.5kw going for less than #390k for up to 2 units. I think the cheapest we have seen here is Joykoo from zeestone @ #520k,followed by Cworth @ #555k
Is 25.6v 280ah available?

Hello gurus, please what is the difference between 24v and 25.2v battery.i have been seeing these two quite often.

Can both work in 24v inverter? Any cons or pros when using any?

Thanks
That's nominal voltage 24v for lead acid and 25.2v for lithium

3.5hp - 2800w
7 fans - 500w
2 industrial fans - 250w
Four TVs - 350w
Fridge - 100w
Laptops - 350w

Total - 4.35kw

Need an 8kw inverter
12kw of panels
Battery will depend on how many non-sun hours you need backup for, but at least 15kwh.

You're looking at an ~8-10m project.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ask4bk(m): 12:15pm On Mar 15, 2025
I need advice here.

I've 2 jinko 555w panels that broke when I was transporting them to far location. Both have cracks or shattered glass, but still together.
For 6 months now I've been using one of the shattered jinko panel to power just one fridge of 160w. The panel produces 250w max since coz of the crack. I've never added the 2nd one. It's just laying somewhere.

I want to add the 2nd one to the first to see it i can get 500w combined from both.

What's the best way you suggest I connect them to get the wattage out of both panels? Series or parallel? Take note, due to cracking in various degrees, they won't produce equal voltage or current.

They'll be connected to 60a mppt felicity charger, two 12v 200a gel batteries (I've 12v 172ah lithium as alternative) and to this yeye inverter wey de mek fridge noise for night.

Any professional advice pls.
Pls don't tell me to go buy new panels.

This is Alaba sticker.
Check carefully the dimensions it is cut and paste. Not straight and smooth.
