Just trying to tread on the path of caution and safety since it was not clearly stated on the inverter.

Because higher capacity inverters like growatt 6kva has 16A max solar input, and deye 6kva doing between 18-20A.

And pushing around 18A into a 1000w inverter just getting me concerned 😟
You forget that you posted 40amp inbuilt mppt? This implies that 40amp is your maximum current if you want to do para_series connection and 150v is your highest voltage when you series the panel.

Also the wellion inveter is the low voltage inverter that uses higher amps but lower voltage, so you are going to need thicker wires because you are doing parallel

Good afternoon to y’all great people
Does anyone here have a used 24v 2.5kva inverter for sale?
It doesn’t have to be hybrid.

The bolded has always been one major advantage / feature of transformers with Primary and Secondary windings. The isolation prevents any how damage and this is true whereEver such transformers are used even in non-Inverter appliances.

As for the thing wey you call slander, it exists across all electronics, not just inverters. Person wey call himSelf computer engineer with plenty certifications no sabi repair board wey die or get issue. Na to swap out the board dem sabi and that's same as partially buying a new PC.

A lot of times,
the schematics ain't difficult to get. In fact by merely studying said circuit board, you're able to make out things
. I doubt it would take their time. issue be say, a lot of us don't bother to be grounded in our fields. na money wey dey find; nothing else

Of course there are a few people who knows how to work on circuit boards but that population is too thin
It takes a lot of time to trace out circuits.

Technology is advancing so is PCB design and
No we have lots of layers over layers of wires all this stuff make it difficult

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Tdoctor(m): 6:25pm On Aug 06, 2025

Anything that can handle 48V inverter. Preferably 150V/45A and above

It's not by display u go take no if controller nah mppt or not, open up d control n see d internals, or look through the vents, avnt see pwm come with rs485 port. The controller get app if u won see colorful designs.
That's cool. Nice one

You shouldn't be concerned about that. The inbuilt charge controller will only take in as much amps as it needs till it's rated limit (suppose it's 11A) is reached. Even if you have up to 30A (for example, 3 600W panels connected in parallel), it will still only draw 11A during sun peak hours. Enjoy!

na Nigeria we dey na. Wetin you expect. I don complain I don tire. Me kukuma dey do ma thing on my side though na the DIY carry me come.

Normally, all these large boxes of Lithium batteries wey there adverts dey flood here, someone ought to have shared how to get reputable sources abroad, ship to Nigeria, how to use wood or PVC pipes to make the battery holders, this and that and have your own low cost quality (or at least average) Lithium battery.

Even Me sef don try do ma own Charge controller though gave up along the way. To make PWM easy, to make MPPT na another thing BUT imagine if there were others with same or similar goals

Tbf the title of the thread says nothing about DIY. And DIY doesn't necessarily mean coupling everything from scratch yourself either way.

The title has no DIY included, doesn't mean the initial Motive wasn't DIY. Kindly checkout the first couple of pages. I even saw the UPS trick I thought I alone invented on this same thread

Even at that people still learn how to design setups here and manage their systems themselves.

Its still DIY, but you mean Lithium batteries, cause no one was doing DIY solar panels or inverters.

DIY battery is now expensive compared to ready made.

No, but that is not a problem at all. More than 95% of my solar installs have been bought online. I have hardly bought anything solar in person. If what you have is good and the price is good, then we're good.

I reside in both Lagos and Ogun state (Around Sango Ota). You didn't state your budget. Wouldn't want to disturb the client unnecessarily.

There's
Kartel 5kva 48-volts (Minimum 4-batteries)
3.5kva 24-volts
2kva 24-volts
2.5kva also.

The 2.5kva are of different brands including Felicity and groWat.

My contact is on signature should in case you okay with the difference in distance. Also the budget I asked of, is to help talk with owners first, rather than constant to and fro

Abeg no too dey loud this kind thing Ooo. Make people no go target you knowing fully well you don't have trust issues that much.

People like us dey paranoid by default. Even Jumia and Konga sef, na payOnDelivery though I don't patronize them but the first 2 attempts I made several years ago, na payOnDelivery Ooo. I no go gree drop a penny, not even for making call, let alone for transport/delivery even if na just part payment

Wonder Y we all waiting for others to take the lead, while all we do is COMPLAIN ?
MayBe it's because it's much easier to complain than take necessary steps

I have never been cheated. God has helped me all these years. Somehow I am able to differentiate genuine and fake people just by interacting with them and assessing their online profile. If I get a check in my spirit, I do not transact. Overall, na God.

Good morning

Please if I discharge my battery till BMS shut down, how do I start it again? Will the inverter connected be able to wake it up and resume charging? Or I must use a separate dedicated lifepo4 charger?

Please how do I get it done? The bms of Haisic is limiting charge/float (27.2v/26.6v), and from the info you it was recommended to drain till bms shut down. Please how to I wake it up? Thanks for your reply
