1150 na theory. Practical check the model I send well. Max 1000w. Then you can set it in front from 200 - 1000 to microwave. It is settable. I practically run it and confirm on the inverter. Even on the 1000 set, when the oven hot it reduced to 902w on inverter. The thing make sense.
okay thanks, I'll look around for a good deal on it

I know its 12v, did you consider the specifications listed before showing your teeth? shocked
those specs are for Toys. I don tell you before make you abort. Few others don tell you same.

I know say even you sef no get confidence hence reason you come dey waste our data to ask such question.

If I’m in your shoe, I will find out how much KWh my panels generates on an any given day and time; cos these past days, the sun’s intensity is at a low. You clearly missed to reveal that information.

If you feel your System is shutting off at such loads of 3000watts or 1.5hp, are there additional loads on the system? Do they all sum up above your inverter rating? Look at your PV generation and compare it with the total loads you intend to power.

If PV generation is lower, you are wasting your precious time. If PV generation is around the 5Kw region, then ensure that your total load is not exceeding your inverter rating.

Is there any error before shutdown
26kwh is a lot of energy storage for it to just shutdown
Guys, Thanks for your response.

Total PV installed xapacity is 8,750W

Yes, Inverter overload error.
But my thinking is that a 3000W Cooker or 1.5Hp pump should not overload a 5Kva inverter or run down battery of my size immediately or trigger two units of 200A BMS cut-off?
Do l need to increase inverter size or add another to it?

Inverter has been shutting down for sometime now, even when weather was good.
What is the best way for me to fund out what my inverter generates, l dont have those equipment like NCV Meter

Check inverter and battery terminals.

The problem here is that you are running more load than what your inverter can take or carry. This is something I pointed out to you b4 now.

Also, that your inverter is rated 5Kva doesn’t mean it’s actually 5Kva. When you factor in Power factor and Efficiency, its real usable power rating could be 3.5Kva to maybe 4Kva.

I don’t think you’ll be cooking for 24hours using a 3Kva Cooker or pumping water for 24hours using 1.5hp, but anytime you intend to do that, turn off your other heavy appliances in the house.

Then if you don’t want to go through that stress of always running to turn off your other appliance every now and then during such heavy usage, then go for a higher rated inverter that can chest everything at once.

1. Take a picture of the inverter specs label for us
2. Take a screenshot of your battery cell voltages for us
3. Take screenshots/pictures of both your battery and inverter undervoltage settings

This isn't a PV issue. A 26kwh battery and your inverter are enough to handle those loads without PV at all. Your inverter is either overrated, or your undervoltage points are much higher than necessary, or you have bad cells in your battery.

Good afternoon good people.
Thnak you for all the help you provide.
I need help over this issue l am experiencing.
My setup us 5KVA Inverter, 5500W (10UNIT) OF PV and DIY assembled LiPo4 26KW battery.
Initially, everything was fine but after about a few months, if l switch on 1,5hp Pump, it will shut down, if l switch on Electric Hot Plate (3000W), it will shut down, despite the Inverter indicating battery was full.

I decided to add more Panels (team Big panel member), so l added 5units of 650 Panels.
Still, the problem persist, it will shut down under the slightest load over 1KW.

I am at a point where l need to get things right and l am wondering over a few options.
1) Is my problem that of inadequate Power from Inverter (appliances demanding more than its max power output) or is it bad configuration?
2) Can /Should l buy another 5KVA Hybrid Inverter and put the later acquired 650W Panels on it separately and use it to charge my battery, would it provide additional power and prevent these shutdowns?
3) Should l buy an external CC and connect to the 650W x 5units of Panels, to charge the battery.

Thank you
I had similar experience at a time, if heavy load is powered power goes off. Was told to open my battery and check each of the cell if the nuts are tight, behold one of them was loosed. Since your ba3 us a DIY you can check if any of the screws are loosed

Wahala Terminals.
But can he open it up to check?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Ferdiwar: 11:34am On Jan 24
First of all let's start with the basics.

1. What's the make of your inverter?
2. What is the total wattage of your loan on the inverter before the sumo or cooler was turned on?
3. Does the inverter go off only when the stated 2 load are powered on?
4. What is the size of your cables from the battery to the inverter and from the inverter to your house control switch?

I also use a 5kw inverter and sometimes run the inverter to over 4.5kw with no issues even at night when it's fully running on the battery.

With that your battery budget,talk to MrReed I think his 51.2v 16kw is 1.6m.Mrreed has a 51.2v 8.8kw he advertised for 1.1m.

And for inverter,many choices are available-Growatt,Haisic,etc
Thanks for the reply. But I don't want to get a local battery. Do you know of any imported 10kwh battery priced at 1.7 mil
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by RickyM(m): 1:14pm On Jan 24
Edrizz:
Go and buy current limiter, it should be around 10-20k depending on ur location. D device will allow u to adjust current to as little as 0.5amp out of 63amps. So since u looking at supplying ur neighbour with 200watt, set ur current limiter 'set 9' to 0.9. So once ur neighbour goes beyond the stipulated allowable current, the device truncates energy flow
The current limiter you’re referring to, I hope it’s not AVR?
Because it’s efficiency is nothing to write home about, even when I’m consuming 200W+ from my inverter the AVR I have still shows 0.0 on the current side and that’s definitely wrong for a 200W+ load.
But if there are other ones please let me know

I have been trying to send you a picture but it's not going. It's in Jumia, Konga or any electrical store. The name is Adjustable voltage regulator
I’ve searched but all I’m seeing is AVR

Get a smart breaker or socket. Very handy for such things. It requires a WiFi to work though.

Otherwise you get the manual type that you set an over current value as you want.
It requires a WiFi to limit the load or for initial set up?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by RickyM(m): 1:17pm On Jan 24
Obnoxious2001:
Is it just 200w power you want to distribute?

That 20k too much for 200w load
200w load each to three different rooms

it's not the cell he is opening but the box housing the cells, and the nuts used in tighting the bus bar to the battery.

so sorry about your experience. However, the device is not faulty, rather it's the power in your area that is faulty. The voltage entering the device is poor or fluctuates too much.

Check the settings on the stabilizer you bought, you might need to press a button to increase the voltage range on the stabilizer.

Moreover, why are you buying stabilizer when all you need is a solar panel? Please don't buy another stabilizer.
Get a good solar panel Jinko, JA or any good one of around 585-600w. Send me your WhatsApp number to be added to a WhatsApp group on powerstation.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by jikaseo(m): 3:42pm On Jan 24
Abeg which brand of battery is at that price? I’m looking to get one.
mctfopt:
1) 10kwh 48v battery = ₦1.4m
2) 6kva hybrid inverter ₦600k
3) 8 nos 600w Solar Panels @ ₦115k/each = ₦920k

That's almost ₦3m.

You'd need to up your budget.

The 5kva inverter has no allowance for surge and other peripheral appliances that's are running.

If the load ia reduced does it work well

Deriy 14kwh LFP is within same amount and from capacity test done by Solaris surge, the battery is complete.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by osayuwamwen(m): 4:52pm On Jan 24
Has anyone use this inverter brand I heard it can work with or without a battery, and can it power a 1.5hpower submersible pump effectively? How durable is it?
