I know the guy don sell the CC but for record purposes the CC would have worked well.
CCs can tolerate over panelling but not overvoltage.
So, what the CC does is take the maximum of 1650w @24v and ignored the rest. Many people on this forum recognised that and overpanel for cloudy days where production may be severely affected.

To determine the expected daily generation of the panels, a factor of 0.7 (inefficiency factor, wiring, distance, cloud cover etc) X total panels X hours of insolation.
2400w X 0.7= 1680w well within the range of the 1650w @24v.

Benefit? He would have been making full use of his money without extra expenditure.

There is absolutely certainty that four panels will be giving him about 1200w/h only
Thing is, overPaneling has limit so you don't damage or ruin your hybrid inverter / charge controller sooner or later.

When you give it 6pcs of 500w solar panels instead of 4pcs, yes it would clip it and SPOIL nothing so long voltage and current remains within acceptable limits BUT when it clips those extra excessive panels (Power), where do you think they go ?

They end up as HEAT dissipated through the heat sinks and/ or cooling fans BUT guess what, there's a limit those can handle hence the system runs hotter than necessary which overTime reduces life span of internal components. That's one of the things that spoilt my first epEver.

Let's try ignoring the fact a lot of what's currently littered in the market are not of good enough quality.

When they ask certain questions, we need tell them the standard SAFE response, then add clauses if need be so they at least understand.

mind you, there are lots of registered and unregistered (Guests) persons who are on readOnly mode digesting a lot of these informations

My SRNE 3.3kw has been pretty much rock solid for two years. And I load it up all the time.
it's result of good Quality. unfortunately, your SRNE 3.3kw might end up carry what a 4kw from another brand can't

I got this particular panel and I thought it was just small panel till it got delivered. Infact I had to wait till everyone was out and in the evening before I installed because I know if the landlady see it, she might not accept to get it installed. Now the installer is telling me that I’ll need atleast 2 to allow my inverter to charge fast. I was like which kind wahala be this one. A 1.5kva inverter though.
Now my question is, can I get a lower panel like 200 watt to compliment it or I’ll have to buy that exact 535 watt bi facial panel again?
Meanwhile since I installed it 5 days ago, the highest it has produced is 250 watt and lower, I don’t know it it is due to the weather or that is the highest it would be generating
Check your inverter settings and increase charging current to about 80A (This should improve your output from panel)
Either way you still need extra same panel to charge efficiently.

What's your battery size?

I have 3x 550w jinko for my 12v 2kva inverter and on a regular charging I get 350w, I need to mention that I treat it like an egg, max load it takes is less than 150w, but I get up to 1.2kw input from the panels when I am blending during the day. I think some of these inverters behaves like ajebo when they don't have enough loads.
Increase your pv charging current for maximum yield. Probably stuck at 40A.

Their inverters are good enough for the price point. Just haven't been ale to get their inverters to communicate with battery though works BUT if your communication is a priority to you, might have to be very very sure the model you go for suits your needs
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Gshems: 2:52pm On Apr 01
Well I have 2 535w and I get 650w before 10am it only reduces when my battery is full

Most people have their pv charging current set at probably 40A max that's the reason for low yield.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by hoover420: 3:22pm On Apr 01
Gshems:
2 possibilities : it's either it is a fake or the angle that you installed it.
The angle it was installed is very okay. And I got the panel from CDcare and I expect them to be selling original products only. If it isn’t from the connection then I believe I bought fake Jinko panel from CDCARE

Quick question, once the battery is full, any watt coming from the panel will be used on any load carried on the inverter right. I mean if my total load is 250w and the PV is producing above that, does that mean we are using the sun directly?

Thing is I don’t even know how to increase the charging from the inverter and I hope increasing it won’t have effect on the inverter?
Battery size is just 3.6kwh

Which inverter do you use? Check the manual you should see how it's done. Pretty easy.

And no it won't have any effect on inverter. Lithium batteries can take up to 100A depending on the battery bms.

Increase it. Mind you, once battery is full it will cut down yield to match load on inverter.

Good day all, pls how much are they buying dead dry cell inverter batteries now? I have four 200Ah dead dry cells I want to sell off

I use the Haisic 1.5kva inverter. I’ll check the manual once I close from work on how to increase it. Thanks

You're welcome.

You just need to press the down arrow 5 times to menu option 6, you should see the current max pv input current, press enter, the value should start blinking, use down arrow to increase till 80A, press enter and return.

loooool this is so spot on. I have a similar setup
60A Felicity CC, 4 PCs of 525w bifacial panels and I can't get beyond 1200w/h. At some point I was thinking my panels were fake. 😀
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by hoover420: 6:38pm On Apr 01
Guys, I don’t understand how to read the percentage on this Deriy 3.6kwh.
I downloaded the BMS app used to monitor the battery and percentage but checking the app, it usually doesn’t correspond with what the battery percentage is showing on the battery itself.
Is there a way around it or I should just follow the readings on the app?

yes that's how hybrid inverters behave

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by osayuwamwen(m): 7:15pm On Apr 01
cdcare don't sell fake and beside u can confirm the panel serial number on jinko website, but easier way to check the panel efficiency if u are using hybrid inverter just put a load of 1000watt during a very sunny they you see that the yield will be much closer to 535watt may around 400watt plus or u increase the charging current of the inverter

this is the same 535watt jinko panel 7 pieces, total of 3745watt and am getting 3200watt from it in the afternoon and my load On it was 1900watt, it was still charging my battery and powering my pump at the same time

bassdow:
you mean both are MONO but both are not halfCut ?

if issue is BOTH are not halfCut, no much wahala, continue using them like that BUT as money comes, buy more halfCuts so you phase out the Ordinary ones.

Hopefully, the solar panels are at least 400w each so you don't end up having lots of 200w panels
I have been using 3 ordinary 450watts panels before and now I just both another 4 450watts which are halfcut

Which battery are you using? LiFePO4 can take up to 100A. But do 80A and check.

the max is 80A, I'll revert back by morning, however I saw another "60" without "a" left it that way, I am guessing that's for grid( I don't charge with grid), yes, it's a lithium battery made by valto with a jk BMS.

There is no way I can confirm the serial no anymore since the panel has already been installed, but I know for sure that cdcare don’t sell fake, been using them for a long time to think otherwise. I think I’ll try that sunny day experiment and increase the charging current of the inverter.
