It's unfortunate cos I actually wanted a pure sine wave inverter and it has a sticker of pure sine wave boldly imprinted on it.

I have a 1500w capacity of a similar Chinese inverter brand that works well. This is just unfortunate. But if I can't get a means of confirming the true sine wave of the inverter, I'll just return it and count my losses.

earthrealm:
so if it that simple, why dont inverter and gen manufacturers add that into their design, it could even be an option,..you press a button/engage when needed

mank1234:
I have not.
If there's it will be worth looking at as it will drastically reduce the need to oversize an inverter or generator.

earthrealm:
is that not snake oil?
like the ads i see, where they say people should buy a small gadget , which will enable them run 2hp sumo pumps and steam iron on i pass my nebo gens

3A - 5A when the motor has started.
3x - 10x of above at startup (depending also on the state of the capacitor)

This your situation is real. I will advise to continue to be good in what you do. Your customers would appreciate and call more for you.

The charlatans are the ones giving solar a bad name. Too bad nothing we can do about it but na like so life be. From the people that undersize systems to the ones that bring in cheap, inferior components.

essegis:
One of the things no one will tell you especially Nigerian installers is you have to over size your system to take care of redundancies and inefficiencies.

Over sizing systems cost money and once told people run away from it when told the cost. But from your explanation, if your batteries are good and new then your system is actually under-sized. You need to work on it.

Also, it's bad running your batteries till they turn off. Kills them faster. Try 50% always mentioned here for Lead Acid batteries. With that sha your inverter for don off since afternoon

It costs almost 5k per month. I would say the Lumos is overkill for a one room cafeteria and is more suited for a flat or a bungalow. For the 5k you can get four bulbs, two charging points and watch your 32 inches LED television which means you could get rid of your generator unless you want to power the fridge. I would advice the foodseller to get two [b]standalone solar light in the market, should cost below 20k.[/b]however when you get the Lumos and you are on beta talk, you get a lot of bonuses when you recharge and your calls and texts becomes almost free.

Babalegba:
That is the problem with the solar equipment sellers. In the end I bought the MTN Lumos and it has been serving me well despite it's limitations all because I wanted to avoid these guys .

queenfav:
wow,make Corona virus end first.I will show it to hubby so we can get one, afterwards call d solar installer to come fix it.Thanks bro.

queenfav:
u are right bro.We have to minimize heavy loads on it.pls how much did u get the battery meter?

queenfav:
You know when an Igbo man brings out 700k for solar setup,no be small expectation o...
With some little hacks here and there you could have saved a couple hundred thousands for that same setup. Or gotten more batteries/panels additional.

...thinking of doing more panels,pls how many do u think we can add based on the info i provided above
You can add a couple more so long as you don't exceed the max Voc voltage of your MPPT CC. I find it a wise thing to over size pv by as much as 30-50% if possible


....I would also appreciate tips and practices on how to ensure a good battery life always
-Try to never go below 50% Dod,
-avoid discharging your batteries at rates of more than 10% of its rated "Ahr" capacity. The smaller the number the better..

queenfav:
I am.in ph.The panels are not dirty cos it rains here and that washes off dust from it.our set up is as follows

If the dstv power input is 12v, it should work.
It is advisable to unplug while charging, it may tolerate up to 13.5v but I don't know of 14.5v.
