Hello guys, I have a 1.5kVA Haisic inverter with one 535W Jinko bifacial panel installed. The single panel is not generating enough power to fully charge the battery during the day, so I still rely heavily on grid power to top it up.
I want to add another panel, but I can no longer find the exact 535W Jinko bifacial model I bought.
My question is, can I add a different panel (for example, monocrystalline panel) to work together with the existing Jinko bifacial one, or must I use the exact same 535W Jinko bifacial model?

the guy is a joker if he thinks maxi is a better quality than dayo, they are both of the same grade, i might let the oriamo guy slide but not maxi.

Sometimes more expensive doesn’t equate to more quality, you were ripped off and coming here and making noise about quality cos of price difference.

The bolded is RIGHT especially when you end up paying for the brand logo.

But then again, when you have come to know a couple of reliable ones, no be to stick with them (even if they disappoint once in a while) RATHER than doing random testings.

My first phone was sonyEricsson and I continued with them even when they became sonyXperia. And that was despite the fact most were falling over the likes of Nokia, blackBerry, etc.
I continued with them till I decided to retire to basic (torchLight) phones.

Some phones go advertise 20GB ram but another phone with just 2GB ram would be more fluid than they are. Same with camera quality.

Seriously, some phone users have gotten so used to certain caliber of phones their names should be changed to Patience. You tap screen to Open settings, it takes close to 5 seconds before opening

You mean you went into the market and bought just a single 535w bi-facial solar panel for an inverter barely 1.5kva ?

Seriously, I no blame you. na Nnairaland's advicers I blame; unfortunately, na you do the spending. Anyway sha, you can buy any other solar panel between 500w to 535w wether it's bi-facial or not. BUT please ensure it's at least halfCut so the 2 of them can match better.

While you're at it, be sure your hybrid inverter or external charge controller can handle the extra solar panel(s)

Goodluck

haisic 1.5kva can take up to 2000w of pv input.

Me dey enjoy my bread. Quiet beast.

that inverter is on another level, carry my 1hp LG inverter without stress, also my microwave. Solid inverter.


I wanted to go for the 24v but it was 3.6kva while haisic was 4.2kva and same price.

I no dey stress the inverter at all. The max load I use is 600w and that's my big blender.

great, I just dey fire am dey go. I've added 2 induction cookers to it. Full house load hitting 3.4kva.

Tdoctor:
I salute the house
Please does anyone know anything about this battery?

Its an incomplete battery oh. Just like half of its rated capacity.
Someone did a capacity test on this battery on Tikt0k

Thanks a lot for the info. The price was looking suspicious. Any link to the tiktok review?

Used 5kva 48v Gennex inverter still available

Once again, welion and sunField are same company. they are the inFinix, and Tecno of inverters.

To not stress it much, apply the rule used on Tubular batteries except with different percentage e.g If you need 2kva, buy 5kva or 6kva. mind you, When your inverter is too big for it's load, you end up with high idle battery draw. it's like purchasing Lister generator when you need that small tiger Gen (I better Pass mY Neigbour), a litre of fuel in the small gen might not even be able to start the Lister Gen.

At end of the day, you put it up for sale under the guise of upgrade; then after you have moved from one low quality man brand to another, you finally either give up or buy an average or good brand.

Mind you, I'm not refering to you. My comment is general

Chai... I'll just have to manage it like that

You know all these logic, but you always suggest used LeadAcid batteries.
Your judgement is in heaven sha.

I didn't buy it all at once. I bought the inverter and battery from Valto then ordered for the panel from CDCARE. I was on a tight budget then which is why I went for that panel. I know with time, I will add to it. It was on this forum I learnt that Jinko panel is the best then I saw the 535 watt on Cdcare & ordered for it.

Which one do you recommend I get?

But 1500 is what is written on the side of the inverter or is that just a formality?

Dabss:
Thank you. Please what size cable do I need from the inverter to the battery? AI is telling me that I need a 20mm cable for a 4000w inverter.

I mostly try to use 25MM as my minimum for such.

would suggest you try and buy that same Jinko brand though it'swattage must not be exactly 535w. it could be anything between 500w to 535w but ensuure it's hhalfCut so the difference between what you already got and the new one you intends buying isn't wide.

ANother is, rather than going to buy another single one, gather money buy 2 or 3 at a go as cost of transportations + installations quickly adds up HENCE you end up spending more money than you tried not to.

Another is, to me eh, personally, I see it as waste of money buying brand new inveter of less than 3kva When I could always get it far CHEAPer as USEd even if the brand na Bayo.

Hopefully others learn from these. There are solar panels sizes that can be scare. Though of recennt, most major importers are low on stock due to the conflict in middleEast between iRan and iRun

Does it mean there are fairly used 4kw or 5kw 24v hybrid inverter. If there is then how much?

first what’s the maximum of/Amps charging current of the inverter

What’s the capacity of your battery ?
And how much dod do you get to before recharge?
Angle of the panel too..

Cause normaly 40a cc should fast charge 2.5kwh lifepo4 battery even with that 535watts without many loads during pick sun

Most of the Jinko panels I am seeing is below 500w. Can I go with the one of 450w? Like 2 of it??

Also, this is my first solar setup, I think it is only wise to buy new inverter and batteries than to buy used one when you have little or no knowledge about it.
Even the 1.5kva is carrying most of my loads perfectly. The only appliance it cannot carry is my microwave. It carries my freezer, washing machine, Iron, Tv and fans with ease. Though once I’m financially buoyant, I’ll sell the Haisic, add money and get a bigger one.

The Amps charging current is 60a
The capacity of the battery is 3.6kwh lifepo4 battery and most of the time, it usually get to 20 percent or 30 before charging it.
Today I left it at 65 percent at 9am and I switched on my freezer only (210w). By 4pm this evening, it was only able to give me an extra 10 percent from the panel. But with grid, the battery becomes full in just 3 and half hours. At peak sun, the panel doesn’t produce more than 300 watt at most and the panel is directly facing the sun

I they wonder how battery take they deplete to 0% and battery won't wake, is the internal bms only for balancing ? all this cheap substandard battery, una they laugh me here when I bought humsienk 12v 314ah lifep04 battery, before I install my hybrid inverter then I was using the battery on sachet inverter were i drain the battery to as low as 10v and the bms nor they short down

fhranchez:
Hi all goodday, I have a battery pack that depleted to 0% and now the BMS won't wake. I tried using a spare lead acid battery to wake it but it won't charge afterwards. Now it can't even wake the BMS any longer.

I've tried a lot of things and the BMS isn't coming on. The only thing I'm yet to try is the standalone 12v lithium charger.

I'm thinking of opening the battery and charging the battery by bypassing the BMS.

Any solution is welcomed please I'm tired already

Great. When I blow, I go join una. But for now, I dey enjoy with my small load

chief, we're better than millions of Nigerians without electricity o. No matter how small the setup is.

Once is 7pm the house loads reduces to under 300w till daybreak. I still keep cooking gas for night food warming only. Fresh food cooking must happen during the day time with induction cooker.

Even joykoo dey wake up

It's not about cheap, I think it's faulty. I have been using mine since last year, no issues

SOLUTION: I opened the battery and found one wires pulled of the BMS. I attached back and the battery is working ok now

Yes there are. if you enter market, you would see them. Even if you are after 12v hybrid inverters

for a 1.5kva inverter,60a Waoh…Thos felicity 1.5 will be putting 20-30a..
It’s obvious majority of the power is going to your freezer and other things(charging and maybe fan).
Just approximately 80-90 watts is going to the battery…
You will need at least one more 535 watts panel,since you can’t find exact that just for 580watts,,I suggest u get 2 sef as we are approaching rainy season..if your system is 24v the controller should handle it effortlessly
