The cells are Poche cells, I strongly believe they are Li-ion/polymer not lifepo4. Some of the cells are probably bad.

Definitely some are bad but looking at them in packs won't repair them. He needs to dismantle them and reconfigure.

Sorry to hear about the inverter. Was it connected to the grid? I keep saying this, and will say it again: if you don't have resources to install/correct the earthing system in our house, please don't charge/connect your inverter via grid. If you must charge via grid, you MUST be there to monitor it. Once you sense rain or a storm coming, DISCONNECT YOUR SYSTEM COMPLETELY FROM THE GRID.

This issue of lightning frying Inverters, is this limited to only All in one inverters or can this happen to stand alone inverters too

Depends on your area, any inverter is susceptible to lightning surges that can curse temporary shut down or permanent damage.

To forestall this, it is recommended to connect your system to a good electrical earth and install surge protective device.

He ed a 10kwh battery and I said I want half of that and he gave me a quote for it and I paid. Afterwards I also paid for inverter and solar s differently so when I said over a million, that’s just for the battery alone.
I paid since last year and during this time even Felicity supposed 5kwh battery is at least able to supply 4.3kw and it’s sold below the price I paid for the DIY at that time before the dollar started rising and prices of things skyrocketed.
Regardless of the efficiency of the inverter and power loss due to heat, 4.3kw that Felicity battery supplied will run a 110W three start rated freezer for more than 24hrs without recharging so yes it’s nothing impossible if he did what we agreed on…Thanks!

Ok

Foreign Used boss.
Did not purchase it ,the installer did and he opted for foreign used because he wanted actual capacity and he said he tested it.


Sometimes those stickers are fake

I believe one of the problem you're having with your setup is your charging system.

Get an mppt charge controller like powmr and install, then confirm if the battery will still perform that poorly.

Again your inverter should be among the earlier models of Felicity inverters that are not that efficient (their self consumption are over 100w) and from the pictures you shared it looks like a used inverter that was repaired at some point.

The inverter has an inbuilt PWM charge controller rated 50A

Improperly ed cables increases resistances and hence voltage drop, but properly ed cable has less resistance and hence negligible voltage drop. Also waterproof your t if t is exposed to moisture or elements.

Please for budgetary reasons, I am thinking of getting a 5KW SRNE inverter with 5.12kWh Lithium Phosphate Iron battery and 5.5kWp Solar s (10 s x 550w). My home load is a 2HP LG Dual Inverter AC, One 55 inch LG flatscreen, 2 laptops, 1 video game console, 2 standing fans, one fridge, one water dispenser and 12 energy bulbs. Please how can I efficiently manage the load application on the inverter system to prolong its lifespan and when during a 24 hour period can I switch on the AC, what appliances do I need to switch off when using the AC and how many hours in a day can I use the AC? Kindly advise please. Thank you.

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 s, 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 s 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 me. I have his phone and numbers.

Sorry, I will be very rude here. This is none of our business, please!! Is he a member of this forum? When you won do business with him, did you involve us? We have people selling those things here, you choose to go your own way. Now things have gone south, Alaba is very big, I will advice you take it up with their Union. Good luck.

Your load is too much for your battery, the minimum is 10kwh. Na you won use AC 24hrs. Pañels size is ok for a 10kwh battery.

Edited:
I read it wrong, use it during the afternoon, from 12noon to 6pm. This depends on how low you depleted your battery over night.

Due diligence is required when dealing with online sellers.

Buy from people who have names to protect.

Imagine buying s from Fuoani and some get broken on transit and they start telling you stories.

They won't even let you know the was broken in the first place, rather they will replace it without telling you such stories because they reputation will be on the line.

You would need another array of 10x550w s connected to an MPPT 80A-120A range added to your setup. Because your planned capacity cannot float your 5.12KWh battery in 5 hours (10am-3pm) at NOTC while powering these loads you have mentioned during the day.
Secondly, your 5.12KWh battery Bank cannot power all the loads you mentioned throughout sun down hours, say 5pm to 7am (13hrs). You must reduce your consumption during sun down to about 390w or less to be able to use your battery to the next morning.

As for your AC, you need to tabulate the wattage rating of your appliances to see what and what you can power simultaneously without overloading your setup.

Yes, I have. It happened to Icell-power inverter. I installed it and did earthing, only for the client to call an electrician who worked on the system after 4years, since I couldn't get to him in about a week. He by the earthing I did, the first rain of that year knocked the inverter out. This was an installation of 4 years old.
