From experience, program ur system from SBU to USB then off solar and NEPA breaker then power first NEPA breaker wait like 1minute, power solar breaker.

Also if on NEPA okay but if na generator pls check d gen frequency o. All d best
Will try this.

Not connected to panels sha, Strictly only grid

Finally I disconnected grid yesterday because since I install my solar system grid has been useless to me with their excess over estimated billings✌🏾😁

But they're mostly underrated nah

1,000w sachet inverter that cannot carry more than 400w load

Den plenty for market

Follow who know road bro.
3000w Satchet pulling 67a right now pumping water on 0.5hp sumo.

You never jam better Satchet inverter.
500w Satchet inverter surge freezer of 115w.
Plenty fake ppu dey too grin

Isn't that just 800w.

Just ?
Initial surge nko?
Based on the mini look -12v.
You won't even believed it will power a fan in the first place. Probably you are viewing it from "big box" angle.

My generator was ok until some stupid repair guy altered some settings and while it can charge my Schneider inverter, the SRNE inverter does not like the frequency.

What is the solution to getting the frequency of the generator back to normal?

Is it to change the AVR or is it to use a screwdriver to reset those altered settings? It is Thermocool generator?

Thanks
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Elizkid: 4:17pm On Jul 04, 2025
Can this type of battery be revived? I haven’t tested to see if it’s still working cause it must be deeply discharged by now.


It was working before we upgraded but has been left unused since then, 6 months+.

I intend to use it for power about 50w load at a small shop during the day.

Or it’s completely useless and should be thrown away?

Call d gen guy to come and help u reset the voltage and d frequency. But they use to tell person straight to buy AVR

Try charge the battery first after that you can make your conclusion.

What he adjusted without my permission was using a screwdriver.

I have tried everything to reset it myself but the frequency is never stable.

I regret not watching him repair the generator which would have made me stop him dead in his tracks while attempting that unauthorised repair.

Will replacing the AVR really fix that?

Get a screwdriver adjust and pay attention to the sound.

Below are customer-generated videos of the 3000w Easun Pure Sinewave inverter powering a 0.5hp and 0.75hp pumping machine.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ask4bk(m): 8:05am On Jul 05, 2025
Just curious.
Why are lithium LFP batteries not common for car batteries to replace the traditional lead acid car batteries that after 1-2 yrs is bad.

I know that cars use high cranking amps to start a car and that may make it hard getting an LFP replacement. But i believe there are special high discharge LFP cells that can be hit with 300-1000A discharge in few seconds just to start the car.
If that is possible, then a special BMS that can chest such high amps discharge can be used.

If such LFP cells exist, which i believe they do (never researched on it yet), and such BMS created, i think we can replace our car and truck batteries with LFP lithium and enjoy our batteries for 5-10 years.
Plus it'll be lighter.

Does anyone have info or research on this and why it isn't happening yet or becoming common, apart from the obvious challenges I've anyway mentioned?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 8:13am On Jul 05, 2025
They have always been available I think. See this one for instance

Bread and firman inverters? Professional that have used both should help with their experiences on both. Since they have service centers in ph am considering picking from one

Mercedes has been using LFP on some cars for 5+ years now.

Pnutmillionaire:
Good day guys, my deye throws an f56 dc_voltlow_fault some nights and the inverter trips and comes back up 3 minutes later, battery is well charged at over 90% when it does this and voltage is usually over 54v. Battery is communicated well with inverter and has 2A active balancer jk bms. Anyone has experience with this or can help ?
This fault likely indicates a momentary voltage drop (sag) on the inverter's DC busbar under load, rather than a sustained low battery voltage.
Potential causes and solutions include:

1) High Inrush Current: Large appliances (like fridges) starting can cause a brief, significant current draw and voltage dip. Solution: Reduce peak loads, increase inverter's "Max Discharge Current" setting.

2) Poor DC Wiring/Connections: Inadequate cable size or loose connections create resistance and voltage drop. Solution: Inspect and tighten all battery cable connections; ensure cables are appropriately sized.



3) BMS Issues: Intermittent communication, a weak cell causing the BMS to trip, or overly aggressive BMS low-voltage settings. Solution: Monitor individual cell voltages via the JK BMS app during the fault, verify communication, and review BMS low-voltage limits.


Troubleshooting involves identifying specific night-time loads, monitoring inverter and BMS data during the fault, and checking all DC connections.

Cool. That's Mercedes for you.

I was referring to why we can't build it DIY and why isn't it a common thing today easily ready in market for all cars.

Nice one.
Why is it not easily ready and common in the market and DIY achieving it?

y’all can do a whole lot of research online on your own without bringing topics here that people really can’t help you with, cos at the end of the day it’s your decision to make.

I made a lot of research before going for bread, major reason is their parent company which is hinen has been in this game for long and make high quality inverters on hinen brand not bread anyway. I can’t say the same for firman.

Thanks chief for the insight. Throughly have done little research, even gone to their offices, just wanted a 1st hand experience.
