This also would work. Either way, just ensure to keep cables as SHORT as possible
Thanks boss

I was at the shop yesterday, though it was cloudy but I was able to take small video at peak sunlight. Generation was hovering between 4.29 to 4.31kw

I can't upload the video here, but here is a sc

This is quite amazing!
Please what time was "peak sunlight"?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by oloet: 1:54pm On Jun 07
At what system voltage are generating this? What is the orientation of your panels?

At 365v. It's a shop, the roof is nearly flat.

This is highly impressive. I have
2 x 550w jinko
2 x 575 ja solar
Max I get is 1.5kw
Normal 1.3kw

I always felt it should generate more. When I add the extra 2 590w, it might get to 2.1kw. Not good enough I suppose
The generation is poor. Though, power generation depends on so many factors.

Panels work best on nearly flat surfaces.

Great

chief, your setup will carry the dayo cooker without issues.

Infact the highest I use is 1000w for cooking fresh foods and 600w for warming. And these watts are what's showing on the cooker not the actual consumption watts on the inverter.

It's around 200w lower between the cooker and inverter.

embarassed I don go mess up cry I tried connecting the communication cable to my Cc . As i on pv breaker na so my inverter that was off blow and now reads 12v same with the cc. If u connect 24v battery to the cc, e go the blink error but if u connect 12v the cc go start to the charge normal. Pls guys watin be my hope. embarassed

Your charge controller is supposed to have settings for system voltage, I guess its currently set at 12V, you need to change it to 24v. Share a picture of the cc

you need to set the CC to 24v before you connect the battery to it since the battery is 24v….

Is like the communication cable I plug from my battery to it caused everything. Tuesday I go carry am go for repair alongside the sarchet inverter. Na experiment lead me to wahala cool. Regardless moving man keeps moving

I once had a grovolt cc that had a setting to automatically detect system voltage or set the voltage manually

I saw you asked in some of them already before even coming here to ask. In sensible forums, what You did is termed crossPosting which is an offence.

Also they already gave you many responses YET you said You got no one to ask.

You expect One to sell to you a simCard registered with their NIN and other details ba ?

Why exactly are you avoiding buying directly or could it be you misPlaced your simCard and don't wanna buy the entire setUp again, if that's the case, I believe their customerCare should be able to help you out one way or the other or at least give information.
ask questions chief.. I cross posted same time i posted here and also on house clearance sales so don't get me wrong.

However I needed it for an airtel universal mifi that uses unlimited sim same as router ..and not all mifi works with it but mine work with it

it has 100%, why is someone picking fights with a retailer who has not done otherwise in regards to product details/descriptions (as made by the manufacturers)? looks like someone is facing problems in his real life and needs someone to vent on.
do you still need i/p/t/v free trial

At such voltage, ensure whoEver is handling your project doesn't do anyHow work Ooo. DC is more wicked that AC

TRUST me there are. People dey. Probably One just getting started or whatEver.

Issue is should things go wrong, said client would never mention how much they paid

I just saw your post. Sorry this is coming late.

There's one thing about stand-alone inverters, they need to be connected directly to the battery terminal.

The charge controller should also be connected separately and directly to the battery terminals, (except you're using hybrid inverter where just one wire to the battery serves as both charge input and discharge output).

When you do this, the CC will detect the potential difference between the terminals of the battery and prepare for charging.

The inverter does not have such potential difference across it's terminals.

Now you've learnt your lesson, don't repeat same mistake.

BUT the charge controller mostly are built to protect themselves to an extent so all should be fine. Just select the appropriate battery voltage and all should be fine.

Also and very important (especially for low quality charge controllers), ensure to connect the battery first, before the solar panel(s)

Another thing is, you sure issue ain't from the way you tapped from the battery ? Could you try powering OFF the inverter first and see if the charge controller at least works well with the new battery
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 8:10pm On Jun 07
[quote author=prince4pro2 post=139644870][/quote]though haven't used this product for any client BUT it looks like it should autoSelect battery voltage.

Are you sure you connected the battery cable to the right terminal and right polarity ? Certain mistakes are easy to make aTimes

what communication cable ?

Doubt that charge controller is meant to communicate anyThing. Na to just connect battery and solar panels.

try connecting again, they show us image of the error you getting and terminals.

a bungalow is sandwished between two 4 storey buildings at the side. The roof barely sees two hour sunlight. how do one work around that.

Exactly that cc isn't meant to communicate.
