Do you not think that if the inverter was efficiently drawing a max of 500W from your Gen, no problem or damage would have occurred to your Gen if its capacity rating is also true?

I don't think so. The gen usually powers my submersible + deep freezer which has a greater power draw overall without issues. With charging the inverter, somehow even at low wattage something was obviously wrong. Worked for a few days and then started failing. So it's not really a case of overloading.

I don learn my lessons sha. Never again.

Hello all,
Trust we're good.

Has anybody here heard of Luxpowertek 6kva/15kwh Eco Beast Solar System?

I want to get installer/user insights before I fully decide.
However, I'll attach device specifications/image so that experts can look at and advise accordingly.

Thank you in advance.

There is a reason why many don't go for these type of all-in-one systems is that in the event of failure, getting a repair is usually hard. But if you have a good after sales guarantee go for it.

Luxpower is a brand I've heard of, though never personally used.

The spec you going for looks good, at least on paper.

You decide what you want and either go for it or not. You are the boss

you. Haven’t dropped your number boss

Good afternoon everyone, please I need solution to this my little problem..I have 6 450w solar panels on my roof which consist of 3 halfcut and 3 straight panels. The highest I have got during the peak hours is 1.5kw buh I think I should be getting more.. I guess the straight cut solar panels are the ones restricting the performance of the halfcut ones buh I may be wrong?....
Please,gurus in the house kindly help out?

Thanks for your input.
They actually do have an office/service centre in my location.

How are the solar panels connected e.g All in series, All in parallel, Mixture of Series and parallel ?

We need know that and how many e.g 2 in series, 3 in parfallel, etc

Also we need know if you using hybrid inverter or external charge controller to charge your batteries.

We also need know your location and how much sunLight you get daily.

We also need know the kind of battery you use and how many volts and amps

dollarnaira:
Online says 500 to 800w

Alright, thank you.

There's a Longi Solar panel dealer at Arena Oshodi. Please is Longi solar panel better than Jinko? I noticed that the experts in this forum edge towards Jinko.
Please advise

Thanks boss....
All 6 panels are connected in series...
I am using sako 4.2kva inverter with max voc of 500v and mppt power of 5,000w
I am in ota,ogun state and my battery is a 24v 4.55kwh lithium battery from Valtech

Thanks

They are both good solar panel brands. What mayters is if you getting quality one. Most people often recommend what they're used to

Wonderful. So we be neigbour. Firstly, Ogun state especially that Sango / Ota / Atan / Owode / Idiroko axis barely have long hours of sun light.

Secondly it's wrong to combine halfCut + non halfCut solar panels the way you did. There would always be performance issues when you combine panels of different specs especially if the gap is wide BUT there are ways that are better and ways that are worse. Either way, there must be looses. We never even know the nature of the panels to begin with.

The panels are still good cos I sometimes climb ladder to inspect them and beside the pv voltage display on the inverter is around 265-269V max.
With this,I think all panels are intact

not saying they ain't good. Just that the combination ain't.

it's like they say. The strength of a team is based on the weakest of the team. You don't mix and if you must, be sure you know what you doing even before making the purchase.

I say all these assuming the solar panels are good grade.

ANother thing is, most charge controllers / hybrid inverters only displays amount of power they drawing, not what the solar panel is generating. in other words, you just might be the one bothering yourSelf THOUGH there's no way there ain't losses with the way you said you connected and mixed those solar panels

So essentially, either the inverter is not efficient/effective in drawing power from the gen or the gen has some faulty components.

Is it the equipment, the installer or your village people?

looks like you are restricted by the default charge current of the inverter, try increasing the charge current and see if there will be an increase in power generation, also try putting on some power hungry appliances during peak sun hours to see if there is improvement in power generation

you. Haven’t dropped your number boss

I did and I chop ban. Will chat u up

Na 24v be your system??

My charging current is set at 100amp and I will try putting on more power hungry devices because the last time I noticed,I was using an air fryer(1,500w) and the inverter is pulling 1,500w from the pv

If your battery is full why do you want it to pull more power from the PV?

HV been trying to post the picture of my new upgrade but Sean and his boys the give me ban. I just tire

Guys my building no dey earthed not even the popular thunder protector. The installer but breaker/surge protector btw inverter and pv, then Ac output he put breaker . I don't use grid at all and don't intend charging with Generator. Nigga doesn't even know how to communicate the battery with the inverter. After paying the guy I just see the fee as wasted,if u mistakingly touch screw on the inverter e go shock u small. The only thing I think I paid that guy for is just climbing up and connecting my 3 420w Pv in series. Ogas them is there any means I can protect my system against thunder?

mctfopt:

I know all that... what i am talking about is when my battery is like 40-50% and I have never seen the charging current go to 50amp before it is mostly at 40 something amps
