Contact JUO.
I bought that exact type off him and it has been working flawlessly;
for power transfer for my refrigerators between inverter power and grid power.
Just know that the transfer isn't as fast as an inverter;
so expect the device(s) to go off during switching.

Really? I actually want something a bit snappy in transfer. Thanks for the response.

If you are electronics savvy you can wire up your own transfer switch similar to the below picture - all you need is that black beefy contactor (LC1D25008 - but in your case you pick one suitably rated for your loads and duty cycle) and some lengths of wire and you are good to go.

I can repost a wiring diagram if you want. All the more fun for you as this is a DIY focused thread.

But I must ask why you want to use an automatic transfer switch between your mains and inverter? The standard wiring protocol in Naija is to have your inverter in between the Mains and your Inverter loads, this way Inverter powers the loads when there is no mains and the inbuilt transfer switch in the inverter case transfers the loads to mains whenever mains is available.

So what exactly are you trying to do with an external transfer switch?




Interesting equipment... Thanks alot sir.

As regards the mains-inverter-load configuration. I am actually buying from an indegenious builder (grow the naira one man campaign �)... So i don't have those specs i would normally have from name brands to know if his inverter has the ups function.

Is it standard for all inverters to have that function?

I guess i will ask him if his inverter does that_ it will really solve my problem if it does...

Thanks for the response, I'll drop a feedback Once i get one from him.

Thanks boss

Special thanks to Zeestone for an exceptional job.

BEFORE:
* 16 325w Solarworld panels in 2S8P configuration (5200Wp)
* 4 sets of Prosolar direct roof mounts
* Very steep roof

AFTER:
* Changed the panel config from 2S8P to 3S5P (4875Wp)
* Installed adjustable front and back legs to keep the panels horizontal

After reconfiguration, i now see peak power of over 4.4kw.

House pls help what's the best pv array config for max 75v and 25A and cable size for distance about 15 to 20m
And now other question why will a manufacturer stated max power of mppt in watts and still state max open circuit voltage it can withstand and max charge in amps. For example for above the oem state máx 600W for 75v and 25 a shouldn't it be 75 x 25=1875 watts?

Good morning house.
Please I need help.
Have a problem with my solar inverter system.
Last Sunday came home in the night with the batteries fully discharged (red battery light on inverter) as I left a bulb on for 2 days security reasons.
I suspect my batteries may be weak. Almost 2 years now.
However since then its been a challenge getting the system charged via solar, charges with gen (phcn unfaithful this week).
My questions are:
1. How can I know if the issue is with the solar panels or charge controller or batteries.
2. The inverter is supposed to prevent deep discharge, could it have failed?.
Sorry a total novice in inverter terms but I noticed this morning on the epver charge controller the sign shows power leaving battery to bulb but no sign of power entering.
Will snap and attach for clarity. Kindly help a novice brother.
Thanks
Additional: moon sign by the left of the charge controller meanwhile sun is up now!

Two things are involved:
1. Either your panels is damaged or
2. It's disconnected from the charge controller

As Niyi correctly said. Put inverter inline with NEPA and load and if available select UPS mode on inverter . Most of the loads like TV/DSTV decoder or computer will continue functioning happily without switching off

if the load is mission critical an APC line interactive UPS like Backup ups pro should be used.

OUTBACK launched the new skybox - simply wow - unfortunately only US specs now

5 KW bidirectional - 48 V Battery - 3 AC input/output - grid generator and backup load

Specialty is backup load ( will also work without battery only using PV without grid)

it turned out that I'm already heavily invested in morningstar products so it was a hard decision for me to let go the midnite classic for system simplicity. despite its seemingly stellar performance during the test, no point mixing different charge controllers (in my opinion) so it has to go.

I agree grin grin grin

But in one scenario, the Midnite proved so stellar that it was returned to it's box to rest and be sold off grin in another scenario, I have a brand new MorningStar spare which I am keeping and extremely unwilling to sell just in case the rainy day comes and I need it.

But more seriously though, I wish the MorningStar folks would make an 80a or 100a version, that would be something to see.

morning star just has this all round goodness, i miss my morning star, and i intend buying a 60a unit to replace by 45a unit damaged by high Voc in the early days of ignorance. would then keep the 60a epolar as reserve, its inability to log harvests in watts and ah is sooooooooooooo annoying
