Abeg which brand of battery is at that price? I’m looking to get one.

How many kw of this soft starter will be able to handle 1hp pumping machine on 3kw 12v inverter setup with 3.6kwh LFP battery?

2kw

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

Thank you for your response.

Yes, it works well on very low load, like a few LED Bulbs and Phone chargers and Router and fans even if l shut down everything and put on say a Cooker or Freezer or anything above 1Kw, it simple trips off and display fault error.

If I get you correctly,
You are saying onces load is above 1kw inverter trips and gives overload on 5kw inverter?

It likely smells like an inverter fault

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 suspect severely imbalanced battery pack.

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

It requires a WiFi to limit the load or for initial set up?

WiFi to configure it and access it anywhere in the world. After setting it up, I've found out you can connect via Bluetooth to operate it, if WiFi is off.

For your need, I think the manual type is ok.

Mr solar brothers, I want to increase my panels cos I use 420w cworth panels, wanted to add more panels but cworth said the panels are not in production anymore.

What's the best way to approach this now cos my inverter only has one mppt. And I can't just imagine replacing all 4 current 420w panels.

Getting another mppt is the cheapest option or you look for a reputable company that sells 450w.

I made my research and my best option is adding 450w panels to the 420w in series also.

Only thing going to happen is the 450s limiting to 420s in the string which is very negligible.

Gshems:

yes, I will get 450s and series them with the 420w

Getting another mppt isn't actually a cheaper option because that involves running another string of solar cable all the way from the roof to my house again. That close to 30yards in cable.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by fuckboys: 2:28pm On Jan 25

Please who has contact where I can get longi 450w original panels?

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bkuranga(m): 4:39pm On Jan 25

Between this LG 1.5HP GenCool and Haier Thermocool 1HP GenPal.

Which one will you guys recommend for a solar user?

Do we have anyone with an experience of either? Want to know how power efficient are they?
And the cooling!

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 5:26pm On Jan 25

RickyM:
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

e get reason wey make I talk say as a shortCut, just get a 200w sachet inverter that costs 20,000 naira or less.

me just dey observe responses because every corner wey I think, I go realise mixed issues sha make I continue observing responses though left to me, would suspect something might have gobe wrong with your inverter. maybe a capacitor or the like don go bad, but not enough to shut the entrie system down.

I get a CPU wey i mistakenly popped 2 sets of capacitors yet e continue dey work like say nothing happen. Who knows what might have happened with yours. Even when new, you really were loading your system close to it's capacity especially with those heavy loads.

If you have time, would suggest you at least try to narrow down the issue to either inverter or battery by first going to a place where dem dey sell used inverters, tell them you want to check if an inverter of so so so capacity (the capacity of your current inverter) can work with your load. Tell them you might buy but not sure BUT as form of security, tell them you would make payment with understanding that if you return it within 1 or 2 days and in same condition you took it, you get a full refund of your money while you pay them between 5,000 to 7,000 naira for their trouble. if dem gree, do that so you at least know where to narrow down the issue to.

or just give the work to an installer, He/She should know how to go about it.

Without physical contact with your setUp, most of us can do nothing but guess.

you could always get another 420w panel from another manufacturer. e get reason wey even the soap wey I dey use bath, I no dey too get a specific one. na so the day it gets out of my reach for whatever reason, I wouldn't be left stranded.

A lot of these companies are nothing but distributors (marketers) hence most of their items are generic with their own stickers. Rarely do they make their own products

800k setup cannot carry all the load you mentioned for 24hrs.
Assuming the loads are rated as follows;
2laptops = 88watts
2phones = 10watts
1router = 10watts
fan = 90watts
Tv = 100watts

Total wattage = 298watts

You need about 5kwh battery to run all the above load from 6pm till the next morning.
Only the battery will take the 800k that you have.

Omo na wow oooo

Okay if I need the 5kw battery
How many KVA inverter do I need and what type of charge controller will I need if I should up my budget to 1.5M

Thank you so much for your response

Why can't 800k power these things. He can't use these things for 24hrs.

Based on the load you mentioned,
Haisic Black LFP 7.2kwh = 800k
Inverter 3kw-4kw 24v is fine. = 350k-450k
four 550watts panel = 115k*4
protection box with breakers and surge = 60k
cable and installation ( Depending) = 300k

You’re right chief, I would be getting panels from longi.

Have you checked all your battery terminals?
If any of the cells have slightly loose terminals, this can also happen.
