Anyway I can stop my inverter from bypassing from grid?

It's a 3.5kva bread inverter
why not physically disconnect the grid's (NEPA/PHCN) AC input from the inverter's AC-IN terminals so as to completely eliminate bypass and force the inverter to run exclusively on solar power ?

Solar is not enough sometimes, some days, I barely generate much.

Will love to charge with NEPA but the light is unstable, even with stabilizer. although it charges, it trip off my appliances sometimes.

Here is the thing, the voltage from grid is unstable, but with stabilizer, I get to charger my battery via the AC input of my inverter.
However, when I try to power my load thesame time while my battery is charging from grid, my freezer in particular shuts down often.

So, I was wondering, anyway I can make my inverter not to bypass, but just just the battery, while I power from the battery that is charged.

Not sure I'm getting you relative to your earlier question.
You could try making your question clearer

Nope bro. It's in the south-south smiley

Did two installations over the weekend.. thanks to a nairalander..

What I will advice is if you have the extra fund go for deye 6kva inverter .. perform way better than growat 6kva.. love it

Two installations done over the weekend

6kva deye inverter

17kwh deriy lithium battery

14 no of 620w jinko panels



Good budget system



Let's talk 08051355133
Please I want to ask why you prefer pairing the Deye inverter with Deriy battery on both installations despite the fact that Deye also has a 16Kwh battery ?

Is there any advantage the Deriy battery has over Deye batteries apart from pricing?. Thanks

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.
Hello boss,

Apologies about your ordeal. I have sold the 3000w Easun offgrid inverter for nearly 4 years and the company has been extremely supportive with providing me with the proprietary control cards to effect repairs, and it has been the backbone of the after-sales support i provide to my customers.

I just took delivery of 50 cards across the 12v and 24v variants of the 3000w last week, and 30 more cards will be leaving China by this week.

Can we connect so that you can share pictures of the part you need and I can speak with my account manager to provide it for you at a fee.

Does anyone have a used Hybrid Inverter around 1kva for sale?

Need a quick replacement for a setup in the meantime before buying a befitting replacement.
I have a 1700w 24v hybrid inverter if you are Interested.

Actually has to be 12v

your best bet is to get an external charger for the battery….disconnect inverter from grid..use external charger to charge battery while using battery to power freezer

Check your AC charging current and reduce by 5 maybe. You should be able to power your load while charging.

Say your charging current is 25 Amps, change to 20 Amps or better still get an external charger like someone recommended above.

It's already at 5 amps, looks like external charger is the best bet.

Thanks boss

Please house I want to buy battery from Henry lifpo4,they asked me to pay to their company account and receive the goods at their warehouse at ikeja,
I hope there won't be issues

Thanks

That shouldn't happen. Bread inverter has the option to use from 90v to 280v. Just go to your manual

90v?

And I'm limiting mine to 180v..wow

Anyways that's not really the problem, the issue is that, the voltage been bypassed is unstable and sometimes less than 220v, my freezer works within 220v to 240v, so, once the voltage drops below the 22v, it trips the freezer.

So was wondering if it's possible for the AC input to just charge the battery, while I draw from the battery, with a more stable voltage

Oh ok. You can set it to Battery priority then. Check your manual.

But in that case, if your charging current is only 5 amps that means u are likely to drain your batteries faster rather than get full charge.

Alternatively, you can buy a 5kva stabilizer to power the whole house.

Tried doing that, and it still bypass,

I'm using a 5kva stabilizer, dedicated to only the inverter, and it's not stable.

Even go as low as 190 sometimes.

Give it a try and inform the house
Tried it but it’s still not working

I can help with that. But you will need a different link of communication cable. Not the type that came with growatt and Felicity battery
What do I need to do. What kinda cable

Rewire your 5kva stabilizer to power the whole house. Mine does minus water heater and electric cooker and it does a great job. We go as low as 160 sometimes and I still charge at 25 amps while powering the house.

I usually charge between 40-20 amps depending on voltage.

It's a 3 bedroom apartment and being using that stabilizer since 2020.

I would have advised you to change priority to sbu but when the sbu is triggered you will still have the bypass. The only solution is to either improve the grid by using a Stablizer or get more panels. I would vote for getting more panels.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Gshems: 10:06am On May 20
Any type that is less than 2000w. A 800-1000w iron is good. Those 300w iron no dey iron well

Will take the stablizer to a technician then
