Felicity 5kva inverter is not up to 1m....check your quote again.

IVGM is. IVEM is about half that.

Elizkid:
Is 14.4 bulk and 13.6 float okay?

It’s a 100ah 12v lifepo4 battery

Do 14.0v bulk and float
This is my own setting.

Be careful with that Felicity battery, u might b given a relabelled battery, buy battery from sellers here, plus Felicity battery no get smart BMS.
Felicity inverter I bought last month is the transformer based 5kva ivps non hybrid variant for 600k. D hybrid variant will be more expensive but not close to 1m. Like 700-800k depending on the variant u pick.
If you are going for the high frequency hybrid variant, Using 10mm cable is a waste of money too. Use 6mm or 4mm depending on the distance.

Ask for the brand of the panels, hope its not some alaba sticker types?
Felicity 5kwh is more in keeping with the quote than the 7.5kwh
Why 10mm dc cable seeing as u wud most likely have the panels connected in series? A 4mm or max 6mm cable sud suffice

Abi ooo. Already commented b4 seeing your post.
The IVEM is around 500k last I asked

Will this Sako inverter ever shut up?

I’ve never used an inverter whose fan spins round the clock, so this is all new to me.

Is there a way to reduce the fan noise or make it only spin at intervals?

Interesting. My SMS 12V 1kVA fans are nearly always on except when in bypass mode. I assumed that was normal behaviour.

So it’s a normal thing?

My previous inverter’s fan only ever turned on every other 30-60 minutes for a brief 30-60 sec each.

At what load does your fan come on?
Most fans run at a very high voltage needlessly. I have a 500w inverter board that run on a 24v at a speed am not comfortable with. I disconnected the fan powering just a 115w freezer. No more noise.

Thanks for your feedback this is really helpful to me . For the inverter I decided to up my budget and stick with a firman transformer based 5kva. For the battery asides from your gurus in the house who make them can you recommend any other brands . This way I can weigh my options. While researching , cworth, blue carbon and taico keeps coming up as reliable and affordable. What's your take please

FEGEITOK:
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?

Fixed.

I used either overdo or underdo, with finer adjustments, I finally got it right

🤣🤣 same as my bread inverter too. I don’t why they have to make inverters with 24/7 spinning fans.

Getting a transformer based inverter only adds to ur purchase cost and gives very little advantage over the transformerless one. Ur call though

The fans are always on regardless of load.

Only three bulbs are on as we speak.

I placed my palm under the fan, and the wind feels stronger than the one coming from these portable, rechargeable hand fans.

So unnecessary for very little load. Just that the inverter is always cold, which is good. It has no warmth whatsoever.

You may be right. To be honest I don't know so much. I have a 1kva transformer inverter that I'm currently using. It was connected so poorly but yet it's so rugged 5 years running. Maybe it's sentiment or fear. I'm just worried that if I use my pumping machine or air fryer the high frequency inverter won't handle it. I was considering Felicity hybrid high frequency but I'm not seeing good reviews as for growatt it looks sophisticated and I'm worried a lot of installers can't program it. Before I started this journey I planned to get felicity products only but now it seems to be the least reliable.

FEGEITOK:
Incoming 700watts FY solar Panels

Never ever got more than 1.3kW from a possible total of 2.1kW.

Today I understood why.

1 of the 3 panels was not connected.

I have gotten 6mm wire to sort it out.

I totally recommend FY panels.

Will get more ASAP given that the test results are so good

If not for fear, u can place a mini converter in between to reduce the speed. Inverter can get warm to touch without issue but not very hot without fan. Or you can replace the fan with a used brushless one, you will be amazed at the silence despite the speed. But fear won't allow you.

Greetings.


Please I just added 4 additional panel of 615w to my old 4 pieces of 615w and then changed the charged controller to 120.

I am using 5kva felicity inverter and 8.5 lithium battery

Kindly see the error code on the image as attached

What is the likely cause and solution

Mind you the battery is 100% charged now as we speak as the error 4 comes and go off at interval

If it is Felicity charge controller, it is factory error provided you no go above the required rating.

I can do that

Is it this?

How can one tell the difference between the two? Looks like the on already inside

I don’t know what the term “brushless” means in regards to these fans

how did this even happen? Very funny to read.

Mykcool:

My friend assisted with the connections, I did not thorughly inspect the final job, by that I mean the connections at each panel, I just saw that wires were apparently connected to all three panels, but one wire from Panel A to Panel C was not connected (the missing connection that I found out today)

Same as welion inverter, the thing dey surprise me. Fan just dey on 24/7, even with minimal load o

This is almost same fan in the new model of "old" version fan of PowMr cc (aluminum body). That fan is brushless; no noise.

Felicity has a large share of the market and as such u wud expect slightly more complaints compared to other brands esp with poorly done installations. I'm using the 5kva ivem series and its serving well and I can speak same for others I used it for. Only ish is its slightly expensive than its peers but then 5yrs of warranty aint beans (warranty doesnt cover lightening damage though which I found out painfully)
