1. Digital Timer Switch
Price: 10,500
You can use this device to set the time, duration and even date that certain devices (such as referigerator, starlink, etc) come on and go off. Particularly useful when you have to go to work or go bed, but you want those devices to come on and go off by themselves.

2. Power Meter
Price: 13,000
Use this device to see how much your appliances consume in watts. You can also input your energy bill in kwh and track how much it costs you to run an appliance on a daily, weekly or monthly basis

3. 60a PowMr MPPT Solar Charge Controller (Updated firmware version)
Price: 97,000
Comes with complimentary battery voltmeter worth 4,000

Just to add some recommendations that could be helpful. You may want to add this to your query:

1) inverter make

2) inverter specification

3) Battery make or type and possible brand name

4) Image of the error/fault you got.

Gracias

Above, I guess, will help you get faster resolution to your issue.

That was fast.


What was the issue?

What was the issue?
The inverter is a Firman inverter 5kva 48v transformer based hybrid while the battery is lvtopsun 51.2v 200ah. I simply reset everything by turning off the inverter and battery for a few minutes then turning them back on again. Somehow it resolved the issue. I attached some images. The first is the battery reading from the inverter while the second is from the battery when fully charged. Is this normal

Oh, that's cool. Just like in a PC, a good restart may just be all that you need to fix some issue.

Hello House/Gurus in the House! 👋

I'm new to the solar energy world and need your expert advice. I want to install a solar system for my store and would really appreciate guidance from experienced members here.

My Requirements:

• System Size: 3.5KVA 24V hybrid inverter

What I Need Advice On:

• Which brand would you recommend for a 3.5KVA 24V hybrid inverter? I've heard mixed opinions and want to hear from people with real experience.

• What's the best tubular battery brand I can use?

• How many batteries would I typically need for this setup?

• What brands of charge controller will give me the best performance and longevity?What wire gauge (mm²) should I use for:

• What mistakes should I avoid as a beginner? Any components I shouldn't cheap out on?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience and wisdom! Any advice from the gurus here would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

Looking forward to learning from your real-world experiences!

First mistake is the @ bolded. Forget Tubular/lead acid batteries. Think in terms of Lithium batteries. They provide way more storage density at the same cost, and will also outlast both Tubular & lead acid batteries

Whenever I connect my Firman inverter to the lvtopsun battery and then turn on gbf BMS function, the inverter stops supplying power instantly all my light goes off unless I turn off the BMS function. I need help resolving this please
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Ferdiwar: 5:30am On Jul 26, 2025
This is something that comes up once in a seriously long while, so don't expect a fast response.

You can check online platforms like jiji for a used listing or a local shop within you location for a possible buy.

Update from mrreed's battery.

Actual capacity is 320 ah more than the 314 ah quoted.

At that price this is the best deal you can find anywhere.


Thanks to everyone that has contributed one way or another on this forum, I was able to set up my inverter parameters successfully through the knowledge acquired here for free (My installer is more of an old-school guy but did a very neat and impressive job)
What wire size did u use from battery to inverter?
Since you using 24v system it'll be cool you use 2awg size coz of high amps if you one day use a high inductive device on your system like pump or AC or iron. You could draw 80-120a. But if you don't use any of these then 16-25mm 3-4awg that you seem to be using could go.
