Glad you were able to resolve this.

Cheers !
Thanks, I was so happy when I discovered that the issue with it was just a minor issue. Youtube video was already telling me to change some resistors on the panel

where is the maxi guy saying his own is a better quality than dayo. Make him hide him face.
I wonder o! I was so happy to discover that the issue was a minor one because I couldn't imagine I would be the only person with a faulty unit here
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by osayuwamwen(m): 7:52am On May 09
I said the fan is always on but it is temperature controlled and it is not noisy like Most inverter, the hotter it get the more noisy it becomes.... I'm in a 3bed room apartment and the inverter is installed almost directly opposite the door of my room and when in my room I don't hear a thing as compare to the other famicare inverter I once used when nor they lemme sleep, I don't tink you will see any hybrid inverter that the fan ls not always on you will only get that in sachet inverter
ajabani4allah:
But @Osayuwamwen claimed that his 4.2kva Luxsun inverter doesn't make a noise, I am yet to believe him anyway, because it's in the same category with the noise maker inverter
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by osayuwamwen(m): 8:04am On May 09
pls i how do I disable that beep sound that comes up when pv input is coming in the morning and Going out in the evening that noise the wan gv me BP once I they hear the sound I go tink say something bad they happen to my inverter until I go close, I can't find how do disable it in settings in luxsun inverter
bassdow:
For the BEEP sound, use settings to disable it. It's one of the few first things I do aafter installing any such inverters.

As for the noise, some of those inverters are noisy Ooo. Add to it some houses are small, most have 6-inch walls, plus who knows, majority are in selfContain / single room hence have closer proximity to the inverters.
Another is, a lot of us don't wanna hear PIM so immagine what happens when Inverte come dey blow like 10HP Vaccum blower. Some go dey even sound like that alarm wey dey alert when NEPA bring light.

Even when sending Bulk emails, a single server sometimes doesn't make as much noise as some of these inverters. Most Oyinbo get basements but wetin we get na passage / corridor if we lucky enough. Those luckier to have secure balconies for installation no go tooo understand

Hi everyone,I need help reviving a HenryLFE 12V 150Ah battery drained to 10.24V. The BMS is locked and the Bluetooth signal has disappeared (it won't show up on any phone/app).What we've tried:14.6V 20A LiFePO4 Charger: Won’t start; doesn't "see" the battery.Parallel Jump: Tried jumping with another battery, but the BMS won't wake up or allow the charger to take over. Help
If your charger controller/hybrid inverter have lithium profile, set to lithium should be able to wake it.

not that I want to but our transformer has be bad for more than a year now, my set up power all my needs though I still practice power management
adimx:
That's interesting.
Which means you're off grid with your setup fully ba?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by osayuwamwen(m): 8:18am On May 09
leave the guy him they find inverter when the fan nor they come up except on high load , him tink say hybrid and sachet inverter na same thing, I think all hybrid inverter fans is always on just that some are just better temperature controlled, there was a day rain fall the the weather was so cold, I thought my inverter fan don spoil that day I didn't even hear the fan spinning at all until I place my hand on the fan vent and I felt air blowing out
bassdow:
A lot of things are relative abi you never hear say Chicken is epensive depends on who price am.

What's noisy to you might not be to the next person. Also you both might not have installed it in samme location or have same space. I fit dey for 1 room while you dey for selfContained apartmment or flat or duplex where you have enough luxury to install far away from where you spend most time.

Once bought a phone (when I was trying to see how to break away from sonyXperia), this phone was lagging so much I couldn't use it for more than 1-day. I sold it to someone else who never had such issue. Probably because they're used to such experience whereAs I'm not. Make I no use money buy phone wey go chhange my name to Patience

Also that those inverters are mostly in same category, doesn't mean there wouldn't be subtle PROs amongst them

Oga choose your best devil abeg, make una no Dey ask all these true questions for here again.

Haisic, Cworth sako luxsun anern are all the same grade of inverter. Not the top tier.

Choose any of them and rest without disturbing us here abeg.
This is just wrong, bro...
When you had your doubts, didn't you ask here too?

Now telling someone to stop disturbing or ask questions.
Uhnnnn?

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by osayuwamwen(m): 8:42am On May 09
majority of inverter for marker are all almost same component just different branding and if u look at the price level they are all almost around same price too except they wan cheat u, and top tier inverter are very expensive, look am this way techo,itel,infinix vs Samsung, iPhone

I know.
But we shouldn't be telling people asking questions from a place of doubt to shut up and stop disturbing us here.


I asked when I didn't have much idea, and even now I still ask when I need a second opinion or have no idea.


The only stupid question is the one not asked.
Beside, between these inverters, preference still they.


I have used different ones and they have their strong point.


Like Bread, I notice most of their inverters read voltage wrongly and need tweaking in the settings if installer no wan enter wahala.
Luxsun, voltage reading is excellent but the noise is a bit much.


And so on...
If someone is asking question, it means they have doubt or no idea and we can either answer them or waka pass.

Instead of telling them to stop disturbing.

I think I already mentioned how to disable the beep sound.
Check your manual or the settings to see how to stop the alarm BUT if there is no settings, then opne up the inverter, you should see something black in colour and small with a small hole at the center. use paper tape to cover that hole and the sound would reduuce to a whisper or stop completely as it neds air to function. There is no need to remove the speaker. Just use paperTape or blackTape to tape that top so the hole is covered. Na so I dey do am during our days of using UPS as inverter.
Anyday you want the sound back, na to remove the tape.

Mind you, Opening up your inverter would void your manufacture's warantee.

Have added a picture of how the speaker (called piezo speaker) looks like. it's unlike me to stress myself getting pictures because I no dey get such strength so hope this helps you all

I went completely offGrid the moment I had 2pcs of 300w solar panels and 100Ah battery + PWM charge controller (which I returned back to seller and took MPPT because He deceived me that it was MPPT) though I continued paying NEPA bill because I was in a faceMeIFaceYou apartment at the time + already promised houseOwner I wouldn't stop paying bill so they don't have reason to ask I don't install solar on their roof. I onluy disconnectetd my room to ensure I have no reason ever to use NEPA again.

Mind you, this was during Yaradua's government. Guess I was the only solar user within the whole of Alimosho LGA in Lagos state.
Sold my tiger Gen (less than 4-months old) to my Boss then so he uses it when He needs light load and not use his big Gen.

So you could imagine how I feel nowAdays when people spend millions or close to it AND still be paying NEPA alaWee.

House, which inverter has the best after sale support in Nigeria in terms of availability of parts and repairs? I have an EASUN 6.2kW inverter with damaged control board which I have not been able to get repaired. I could not even get the control board. The makers are not even willing to provide it, even at a cost.
That's sachet inverter if I'm not mistaken.

Most people go for Felicity due to support. Another is, most technicians know popular inverters such as felicity product well. But at end of the day, a lot of inverters are similar enough that technicians would find their way around it EXCEPT you looking to only rely on your Warantee + Guarantee from the company

As for sachet inverters, those ones are often times disPosables except the damage ain't much OR you lucky to see someOne who got the faulty part. There used to be someOne who claimed to a degreee of assurance to have boards in here sometimes ago after I rasied the issue of why I started disCouraging people from spending money on sachet inverters. Don't know if the person is still on this platform as they might be able to help.
Me stopped suggested sachet inverter the moment their PRICE was no longer worth it's disposable nature.

Take it to radionic electriciian wey sabi him work, if e no fit fix am, just forget am

Exactly, I could have simply said "Yes" but reading through the experience of many will help him to know what to expect and not just a simple "Yes" answer. The thread is crazy rich with information already. Happy Weekend Bro.

same with the Haisic inverter, it beeps when mppt connects and disconnects from the pv.

I swear most of these inverters are just the same thing with different clothing.

Just go to your settings and turn on silent mode

Chief, no offence but the more I read your responses in this forum, the more I picture u in my mind as one very frail old man with walking stick dat mostly just sits on a rocking-chair most of the day. grin grin grin
You prefer Tubular battery, u prefer Transformer Inverter, not bad dou. U just stick to the old stuffs mayb because dey seem more durable and straightforward. Sure me say ur TV for house na CRT Tube Tv abi? Or at best Plasma TV?

No offence ooo. grin grin

Your still one of the best here with ur helpful responses cool
No be your money go waste if transformerless inverter MOSFETS blow

And when lithium battery start it's BMS wahala ...

Go repair shops see plenty scrap sachet inverters .... As for lithium battery, they people that repair them too dey carry shoulder up ... They're very high on pride

If it's not million naira set up, just use lead acide battery
