Kai Money good ooo.
Money is gradually becoming a limiting factor in RE.

Congratulations on your achievements. You are truly one of the best in Nigeria.

I hold the believe that the particular Tesla module in picture is 60v. Will that inverter handle 60v input from the batteries?

I remember you mentioned that the installation would be 3-phase. Does that entail the use of 3 units of Victron Quattro? Will the idle usage of each of the Inverters add up in such a setup? What are the advantages of a 3-phase installation?

Are there 24V lithium batteries from leading lithium providers like BYD?

The customer has 3 phase pumps and AC.
Yes three individual Victron Quattro.
Idle usage? I did not understand the question sorry.
Advantage - I can power three phase appliances
24V from top manufacturers? I have not seen them yet. Victron and SAFT has 24V modules and some of the smaller folks (Relion) will custom build batteries for you in addition to the 12 24 and 48V offerings that they have.
Thank you for reading and your questions

Thanks for the reply.
By idle usage, I mean the Zero load power. By its datasheet, the Zero load power of each Victron Quattro 48V/5000VA is 35W. Using a 3 phase setup of 3 units Victron Quattro, will the Zero load power consumption be 35W*3=105W?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by sharks776(m): 4:24pm On Jun 17, 2018
I went up The roof to check on my panels, I have a 2*3 system, to my surprise, the two panels in array 1 are showing abnormal reading. While one show 0.56v, the other shows 16.5v. So I took them down for proper inspection. I found out that the one with 0.56v had a bunt +ve wire which I replaced and it now reads 21v but the other one is still reading 16.5v even after I changed the single diode at the back.
How can I boost it back to 21v?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by NiyiOmoIyunade(m): 5:54pm On Jun 17, 2018
My Oga.

Someone who paid for 3 units of single phase by design Victron Quattro inverters so he could stack them to make 3 phase power to run his 3 phase ACs and other appliances (a 3 phase AC would very likely be rated at least 3 Horse Power ditto for the 3 phase pump). Each inverter depending on size (didn't take note of the Kw rating) could be north of a million naira. grin

Such an individual would not be concerned about inverter idle/self consumption of 105watts. Those are the kind of people who don't care about a budget or have a really fat budget - all they want is for their appliances to run and run any time they want and to their taste.

Such are the kind of customers I hope to meet and do work for so that they can help me broaden the richness of my experience grin grin grin.

On a more serious note, Oga Chris did mention the customer had already paid for additional batteries to add to the ~6KwH Lithium storage already on ground. The larger the battery bank the less one would need to worry about inverter idle or self consumption

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by NiyiOmoIyunade(m): 6:06pm On Jun 17, 2018
You should be more concerned with getting the panels back to operating close to their nameplate specs. Was the nameplate VoC or VmP on the panel spec'ed at 21v? Why are you using 21v as a benchmark?

First note the nameplate specs VoC, VmP and rated current - then check how actual readings compare - you may want to match rating of the wires and diodes and other stuff you changed as close as possible to what came with the panels from the factory - if possible take your readings at power source on the panels vs. from the cables to rule out weak or burnt cables which are not showing up readily in your testing.

Very likely your panels suffered a lightning surge or prolonged overcurrent/short circuit to damage them so - I experienced this only once on an installation that suffered lightning damage about 2 years after we had installed the system - 12 panels and about 8 had burnt wires - took us nearly the entire day to fix things, test and put the system back in service.

The flames panel was the one with the bunt wire that I fixed, while the other is the one with low reading on 16.5v

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by NiyiOmoIyunade(m): 8:25pm On Jun 17, 2018
My Oga.

You are on point. VoC ~21.5v is the correct reference.

Please try taking measurements at the panel junction box instead of across the wires to see if the issue is with the panel itself or with compromised wiring.

If you get thesame lower than spec reading at the junction box and after eliminating the diode you replaced then it is possible a few cells on the panel are bad.

Other people with more experience in panel repairs will doubtless chip in soon.

Just to disillusion you on the nameplate vs actual values, I once rush ordered a set of 250W panels to expand and match my existing 240W panels up on the mount. Lo and behold, I was sold the exact same panels as I previously had as 250W panels. The 240W readings were a perfect match to their nameplates whereas the 250W panels read nothing like their nameplate and read exactly as the 240W ones. The figures on the 250W panels didn't even make sense.

It could be you had a mismatch from the outset with sustained reverse current burning your diode and cable.

Hmm; although the quality of the photograph taken of the second nameplate may be a factor, but I think the poor quality of the printing job itself on the nameplate is a dead giveaway that the panel is not necessarily 100% genuine, to begin with. Just a thought.

I retained the panels only because they were a better match for what I had than what I ordered (was told 240W panels weren't available). The serial numbers showed they were genuine JYSP-240W panels rather than the supposedly 250W molocrystalline panels delivered.
