Good day house. Anyone that is willing should give a helping hand.
I bought products of solar system from one DE BLESSED SOLOMON GLOBAL SOLAR ENERGY from Alaba. Instead of brand new panels, he sent used but that's not my anger. My anger is he sent a nonworking mppt charge controller which I returned with him promising to replace it together with 2 extra panels he did not send that I ordered when the former once where on the way. He was giving me fake reasons since early February till now he is no more taking my calls or answering my WhatsApp messages. His name is SOLOMON CHIBUIKE OGBODO. If any one he has done such a thing to or knows how to get to him should please contact me. I have his phone and account numbers.

Baba not entirely true sir.
What defines a failed system is way above this

isangjohnson:
I will advise you handover everything to God and move on...
Good name is better than riches and I believe God will provide funds for the replacement.
You may meet me via my contacts and let me see how I can assist.
Please, move on....

RickyM:
Nothing of such installed, just circuit breaker

RickyM:
Attaching a picture of it…They said it’s Felicity

RickyM:
No sir it’s not connected to a grid, although the inverter support grid charging but I do not connect it to grid.
I was recharging my battery with solar panel normally like every other day and then it started raining so I turn off the breaker from the solar panel to disconnect voltage and current coming from PV to pass through to the inverter to charge the battery but I didn’t switch my main house change over to neutral…I left it the way it was meaning the inverter is still supplying power to the house and I’m using it to run my freezer and then the lightning struck and I heard a bang‼️ and the rest was history

xtremeidea:
The solar panels are intentional as it carries my house and fridge throughout the day.

Is there a device i can add to view the power stats on my computer of phone? I came across this Epever device online, dont know if it would work with Felicity Charge controller!

Valentinooo:
Wow! Mine takes 135 - 140 watts

brightk:
oga aveg look wetin u type.. y parralel.. his input current as stated by u is 15a. And pv is 13... even if na 10a go con out of pv .. parralel not go fit work. Thexbest tin here na series

BlueStripper:
Hi Bright,

Thank you so much for contributing to my solar journey. Please find the screenshot of my solar charging parameters

easyyoke:
Can anybody recommend a good MPPT charge controller that has bluetooth app please such that I can easily set/change the controller’s settings on my phone. Sometime readily available in our Nigerian market.

Valentinooo:
What is the rating of your fan, is it all those ORL giant 60 type of fan that takes like 140watts on speed 5? What is the rating of your two TVs? Are they lead TVs or just plasma?

But this your connection na wa. Your installer no try at all. You no fit buy trunking pipe and make it neater ni?

Drgreatone:
Pls read ur inverter manual well, theres a reason for it. If I'm not mistaken, there's a limit to the nos of panels u can connect to it. I think 3000watts or less. Pls confirm before connecting ur panels seeing as u av made ur purchase already.

BlueStripper:
No worries Edrizz,

Thank you for the help and support this far.

The amperage is 80amps. Should I still proceed with 7 panels in series ?

xtremeidea:
Good Morning Everyone, Happy Easter to you all.

I recently just started the green energy journey with a few mistake and it's been fun.

I joined the Felicity crew cuz my friend was using their products but would have gone with Growatt or Epever if I knew what I know now. (No regrets).

I'm a smart home Enthusiastic and a sucker to stats and monitoring.

My current set up is - [b]Felicity 5KVA inverter (IVPS 5048 ) + Felicity 80amps MPPT + Felicity 5KWH 48v Battery (LPBF48100) + Jinko 435w panels x 6[/b]

I found a couple of ports on my inverter (RS485 & RS232), charge controller (RJ45) and batteries but cant get them to communicate with each other. Is there a way to read information from these ports wirelessly or access them remotely.

Please I would be happy to learn. My thought is that those ports arent there for decoration but there's very little information about felicity setups and remote monitoring online.

Please help me or point me in a direction to follow. Would love to read the power generated from the panels and add the stats to home assistant.

Edrizz:
Oh, you're right brother. I just checked n saw that it's truly within d range of 55.17 and 55.72


His best bet is 4s2p then provided that d amperage of controller is 40amps n above

BlueStripper:
OMG! TechGeek you just saved a life.

I checked the VOC of the panel. Damn! That would have been brutal.

I ordered Chint MCB's as against the fake Schneider that was once supplied to me by a vendor here.

Thank you so much Sir. God bless you

BlueStripper:
Thank you so much Edrizz

Max Solar Voltage (VOC) 400VDC

What's the current price

kristien4:
its normal tubular battery..

kristien4:
Location is benin city. It does not come up at all wen connected to battery. It only comes up wen connected to solar pv/ nepa light. Works via this too sources but does not detect battery. Everyother thing works fine. Displays/blinks "Bp" on the inverter screen. Its an ipower max 3.5kva inverter.

kristien4:
Same 6mm dc cable, same orientation... i guess its the shading then cos the panels were cleaned recently..no changes.

kristien4:
6 jinko 580w panels all connected in series to a 5kva growatt inverter. Previously dey were connected in 2s3p to a 120amp growatt external charge controller and i was getting up to 2700w, i say make i upgrade to hybrid growatt, series everything yield come drop to 2200w. Which kind wahala be this..

redgem:
But if price of dollar should go up, you'd still sell old stocks at new price right?

isangjohnson:
TechGeek777 is indirectly telling us to reduce the price of our products.
He doesn't want to open up so that he won't offense us

Valto:
sorry about that bro, u know what befell me, i just started coupling again, no worry, i am fully back and better! heavy discount for everybody

Dam5reey:
What does RJ port have to do with Parallel, Does Solar panels or Batteries need RJ before they give you more AH or A when you parallel them?

When you Parallel a Batteries or Solar panel, you simply connect the + together and - Terminals together to give you combined AH or A.
If you do that for a 100AH and 105AH it becomes 205AH, if you do that on Solar panels of 8A and 10A it becomes 18A.

isangjohnson:
There will be no need to castigate anyone because some of those guys using lithium phosphate today may get there before you..
As I earlier said, everything in life has to do with choice.
It's wrong to condemn people's choice.... What works for Mr A may not work for Mr B.
Whenever I designed systems for my customers, I gave them the two battery chemistry to make a choice, even though I'm not selling lead acid batteries.
There are some lead acid batteries (12v 200ah/220ah) that are currently sold within the range of 300k to 310k and they will serve the purpose at a given period.
There are also lithium phosphates of the same capacity and the same amount and they will serve the purpose at a given period as well.
It's all about the market flexibility, the individual budget and what they aim to achieve.

Valto:
ofcourse , i use 2packs personally. 48v 280ah and 48v 300ah, that makes them 48v 580ah

RickyM:
Since there is no way to really figure out the true Ampere of a battery then it’s hard to even trust DYI as [b]I paid a guy to make 24v 5kwh battery for me and it won’t even run my 110w freezer more than 7hrs [/b]which is just outright scam to me and that’s why I am looking to buy a ready made to add to this in parallel since I just got this last month.
Trusting DYI has became an issue for me but yet still I believe there are true people out there.
Do you care to help with Valto number?

Dam5reey:
You should ask for communication then not if they can be parallel or not.

Dam5reey:
The sweetest part is parallel as you want, whether it same capacity or not.
people are doing 48V, 100AH and 48V, 280AH.
