Sorry I'll have to mention this, I once dealt with Keye, they are very fast and prompt with repairs FOC, but ensure you don't connect their inverters to grid or else it will go bad in few days. I repaired more than 4 inverters before I found out, no matter the SPD you use, it won't make a difference. Their solar lights, error!

For Felicity, I bought 2 units of their 175w solar panels yesterday for a small back up project, I also bought the Elejoy 800W solar panel multimeter to measure the maximum power output of the panels, I was able to get 101w from 175w at the peak of the sun. That's horrible if I'm asked, huge waste of space. Do anyone else has this experience?

GloriousGbola:
A partner wants to go all in on PV installations so I did some research. Felicity solar are the only lower tier solar who have a proper website and proper documentation of all their products. They also have very wide coverage. Across Africa.

Most of these solar products Google searches takes you to jumia and ends there. Or the company ends in Ikeja.

We also went to felicitys main office in okota. They have a workshop filled to overflowing. Whether that is a good sign or not depends on you.

Sir, reading this explanation now contradicts the impression I got from the main post.

If you had not explained with this post, I was tempted to believe that you agreed with him and you were sharing the info with us.

I was almost believing his position, perhaps you should find a way to edit that post so that folks understand that you do not agree with what he said.

Find attached one of your pictures, thats where I assumed some cables ran over.

But one question please, I noticed my yield is generated and rated in UNIT. And this is not so convenient for me to understand or convert...
What's the make and model of your charge controller?

What's the size of your array?

Justice629:
We back to season of bountiful harvest
@contease. The barb wire will give you a little bit of shadow I guess, that may reduce your output by 20-30% especially with the few lines of electrical cables I can see passing on the panels.

access to information

earthrealm:
why rely on the random opinion/post of someone , especially a someone who is biased or has vested interest??.

the proper thing to do in situations like this is to use the same internet you used in making this post to google and clear your doubts...the josguy is fond of saying some untruths..as if he is an authority on lithium cell chemistry., forgetting this is the 20th century, we all have access to internet and various online forums

Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by viperVIP: 12:20pm On Mar 18, 2023
After being struck by malaria and not having the strength to type, I had to force myself having read what @techgeek777 wrote, on seeing @Valto's explanation, I felt relieved only to see that @techgeek777 still don't get it.

The mantims guy is a scam! I have bought both cells and packs severally from @Valto, no issues at all, he sells Grade A verifiable from the QR code. I've had to peel off the cover on one of his cells to see if there's a trick underneath but all came out fine.

I have no idea what grade this @mantims sells, but definitely not a veritable sales, I began suspecting him when he said he doesn't like selling cells, only built packs which he doesn't expect or want you to open. What's he hidinghuh He gave 3 years warranty, ofcourse used cells will survive this under moderate use, digging deeper into some of his advertised pictures on here, I found out the QR codes are absent.

If you have taken time to learn on YouTube from those who has bought the good and bad ones, you will understand more.

TechGeek777:
I read it bro, he said No Grade A when he bought at that time, he also said there's no grade A anywhere that we can argue till they kingdom come, that all new cells in the market are Grade B & C.

I believe experts here who have actually purchased from you will be in better position to counter Martin's claim of unavailability of grade A cell (i.e if yours is grade A or B).
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by viperVIP:
My last chat with a dude from here, mantims, the Jos guy when I needed an affordable DiY LIFEPO4 pack.

Y'all should do your due diligence before patronizing anyone please. Don't be penny-wise

Such a Conny businessman, sweet talker and a liar. Google facts when told by a vendor cos 90% of the time they just want to sell their ugly products. Don't be a victim.

Do you not think with this feature, their CC can now wake up BMS from sleeping mode? Since it would ping the battery when PV power is available.

TechGeek777:
From recent videos I have watched, they said latest/recent Felicity charge controller are built not to take power from your battery at all, this means you can only use the CC when there's pv available.

Also, when there's cloud The CC will be showing fault mode if the pv is not sufficient to power the CC.

At night the CC WON'T display at all, and from the videos the CC wakes up at about 7am.

So your CC is doing perfectly fine.

The motion is to conserve battery.

All modern Felicity CC now have this feature embedded.

Thanks boss. That's an eye opener, read about it on this thread before but didn't come to mind when the need arose.
I've checked earlier and found the XHM6 with lower current tho and just checked again now, I'm able to find the DC relay which would work perfectly for the purpose. Just that the cancelation of naira cards for use on aliexpress makes it discouraging for ordering these petty components.

The concerned system is a Must 1kw Hybrid Inverter connected to solar & a lifepo4 battery.
The Inverter does not shut off when it reaches cut off voltage, it only cuts output, then drains the battery till the BMS is put to sleep.
so I'm considering sending it for repair, then deploy a 1kva inverter & mppt charge controller there, but would need to cut the 1kva inverter off at 12v or else would drain the battery to 10.8 and BMS is set to sleep at 11.0v.

The system is not connected to grid or generator, only solar.
Thank you wink


NiyiOmoIyunade:
Consider what it means to interrupt 50a of DC current - the contacts must be beefy and huge.

You can find 'battery sensing relays' such as XHM6** series on AliExpress.

What you want to do instead is setup Battery > XHM6** > DC Relay/Contactor and then use the main contacts of that DC Relay/Contactor to interrupt the inverter AC Out. So really you are looking for the XHM6** to detect the battery voltage state and the DC Relay/Contactor to (dis)connect the AC supply to the loads.

In practice you need to consider battery voltage hyteresis and recovery points and also what happens if mains becomes available (ideally want to override the battery voltage based cutoff in the presence of mains or Gen)

Please who else bought and installed

Index NXT AGM batteries between June and December 2021.

I bought 12 of these batteries used in different sites and immediately after 1 year 1 month, they gave up. These were with different inverters and enough solar arrays to charge them daily.

Could this be manufacturers' defect??

Good day everyone, I have a concern. with the increase in size of a single pv panel capacity now up to 600watts panel, does this not make the panel more fragile without having frames in between to brace the 4 edges? and the weight also considering lifting them on high roofs. Has anyone thought about this before?

grin grin grin jajajajaja Lord have mercy.
I could testify as well, I was having a degree programme done about 6 years back and lived in a student hostel off-campus. I was the only one in the whole community with a solar system 247 power supply.

Close people do come into my apt to charge while strangers charges outside and monitors their phone . On this day, my inverter went off, I knew it must be from their endless power extension, so I disconnected the socket and told them charging is over, switched on my inverter and it worked normally.

Then this next door neighbor lady approached, bros, abeg I need this phone charged, so I told her to plug it in and come back, voila.... She's the culprit, this time my inverter smoked and I nearly cried. So I asked Her, did she recently plug outside too, she said yes it was when she plugged that the inverter went off earlier. Mo gbe.... grin

durodee:
I beg to disagree.
One day , at my business, the 5kva inverter kept tripping with overload fault showing. This was an inverter that had no issues with 1.5HP submersible pump and an 1HP AC together on a normal day.
I will switch it back on, check the load (@700w) observe for a while, get back to my office and about 10mins later it will trip again.
Out of frustration,i went to the DB and I started isolating the building, section by section until we found one area that anytime we switch it on, then the inverter trips.
I then called my electrician who came, checked , and could not find the problem. Soon the same issues resurfaced somewhere else .
So we searched socket by socket only to discover a useless phone charger was the culprit. One of my staff, oblivious to my dilemma, wanted to charge her phone . She will plug it, power will go, she will remove the charger use her phone awhile then plug it again when power comes. When i isolated a section of the building, she jejely moved to another part of the building to charge her phone . That day was not funny.
I made sure i destroyed that charger that day before someone go give me heart attack
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by viperVIP: 2:47pm On Jan 18, 2023
Bravo..

I am yet to visit the site, but I asked the client for a screenshot while it's charging this morning and requested for another screenshot when it stopped charging at noon.

I never knew 3.35v is the float voltage, so BMS calibration has 3.45v as 100% indicator, so that's why it stopped charging at 88% yet the average cell there is 3.365.

So I am requesting for his shinephone login so I can adjust the growatt parameters accordingly. Hopefully that will settle the 38% complain also.

Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone for your contributions.

NiyiOmoIyunade:
I read later where you said your cells are well balanced.

Two possibilites;

Either your BMS parameters were set too conservative for the charge parameters you want to use OR your cells exhibit a larger voltage drift than you have noted under charge or discharge with high currents.

Do you have access to your BMS protection parameters and can you publish/screenshot them here?

When the BMS cuts off charge/discharge, what error message is logged?

In any case you want far more conservative charge settings on your inverter 55.4v absorb and 53.6v float.

The above settings are 3.46v per cell and 3.35v per cell for absorb and float respectively - at a 3.35v per cell float you can be sure no extra current is making it into the cell and no possibility of overcharging it even over the long run.

Observe the battery pack voltage delta (mV difference between highest and lowest cell as well as highest cell voltage) when the inverter is in absorb and also whatever error message is logged when the BMS cuts off power - these will clue you in what is going on and where to direct your efforts.
