I used HSI and Zumax. If the s are well oriented and the correct size wire was used, then the charging system of the hybrid inverter is the issue.
I had an issue with of one of the hybrid inverters I installed for a customer and suspected it was related to float bulk.. I was unable to get an acceptable margin of float bulk that could comfortably charge the Lfp battery to full. When I set it to the range of 13.8v to 14v, about 9a or thereabouts was coming in from the pv but when I pushed the setting further to about 14.8v, I was seeing 25a and above. I couldn't charge the Lfp battery with 14.8v and I later introduced my spare 60a epever Mppt external CC into it and everything was in order.
Yes, they facing south and are connected in series with a 6mm wire. Tried ur settings but nil change.
At a point was getting abt 180w from the s but only abt 5a is going into the battery. Highest amps gotten since av gotten it was around 11a and that was when no loads on it and abt 350w from the s.
Bin advised to get an extra and if no change, wud get the external CC.

My old powmr has a bug that sometimes changes the controller to pwm mode when the battery gets full and load is applied, I will have to switch the solar input off and on a few times before it returns to mppt mode, note that this only happens on 12v batteries, never happens on 24v systems
Oh ok. Thanks

Cords are there both are towards left and right separately. It is different from the usual ones with 2 cables out of a box.

I noticed this also but I found out,the controller is best used when using s with same voltage as battery.

12v solar for 12v battery
24v solar s for 24v battery

When you run your s in series, then the controller enters float na there e go dey even if you apply load thereby wasting solar yield

If one has an inverter with dry ports that get signals based on the SOC, it's just a matter of relays and ors + timers and one can replicate that. Which is why I love the latest jk bms features.

True, I used to do something like that when I was using Outback.
litaninja(m): 1:00pm On Apr 22, 2024
The guy na actually nuisance fellow.
Reached out to him before i decided to order my inverter direct from manufacturer. Uncouth, brash behaviour, i just carry my hard-earned money waka front. Surprised the mods still allow him in this group / thread.

He is a rude and crude reseller.

I installed the old model PowMr CC yesterday for a boss, and with lithium battery.

On setting it up, I noticed the menu now has a D05. I used to know the menu stops at D04

So I'm curious, if anyone has noticed it and what is it's function. The manual is silent about it even.

CC @ linnov8

Attached is the new menu noticed. Anyone please?

Airtel unlimited is preferable......Have been using it(Airtel unlimited) since December. Speed capped but truly unlimited. 20000 for 20mbps, You can't go wrong with it.

There is no Airtel Unlimited for 20k.
After finishing the 200GB, you are given 10GB daily that you cannot track the use.

Please, if you have the money go for Starlink, 100% you won't regret it. It has its own issues o, but you will not regret switching. Especially if you live in an area where current Nigerian ISP's are crappy.

No this is different.....this is a data capped plan with FUP. Their unlimited is actually speed capped. Their is 20mbps, 40mbps and 60mbps. Do your research. In my location it's fast, I stream Netflix, stream live matches, and watch youtube in HD

Done and Dusted !!!

Abuja People !!!

The fear of Band A, Band B and Band etc is the beginning of wisdom.
This Client first said: "just install something that will power my fridge and Lighting points."
And I asked him, "Will you be wanting to upgrade this setup someday?"
He said maybe. I proposed he should simply go OFF-GRID he said give me quotation, I quoted:

12Kw Deye Inverter
24x625W Jinko,
35KW (2 x 17.5KW) Felicity Lithium

as usual and he screamed and said just install something that will power my fridge and Lighting points that he can add things later and will be ing the heavy loads and recharge the battery with Nepa for now (I explained and tried to discourage him from doing this till I got tired). We adjusted this quotation so tey we landed on:

8KW Deye
17.5KW Felicity Lithium
3.5KWp Jinko s (8x440w)

And we deployed.
He was happy, but then the battery will never fill up before sun down, he recharged his Meter as usual 50K (Band A) twice and the credit lasted less than 3 days, He called me back and said:
"E be like say that thing wey you been dey try explain to me na true ooo, to charge this battery with Nepa go tear my wallet"

He said Ok let's power the whole house and see
So I did something for him, I powered the whole house, Put some ACs the heavy loads on SmartLoad, we switched off the water heater and job done.
He tested for 3 days and as soon as the client noticed that the inverter could take all his loads, He called me back and said that we have to upgrade this setup ASAP to power everything house 247. But that we had opted for an 8KW instead of 12KW inverter, 440w s instead of 625w s, 1 unit of 17.5kw Instead of 2 Units. He asked if we can sell the Inverter and s to the initial quote. I told him that he might not realize the money 100% and he screamed "something wey I never use up to one week?
I asked if I should post it online and see, he said no let him his friends that knows about Inverters and Solar. He did and in my presence his friends where pricing less than half of what he invested. I asked him again "Make I post am online?" He said "NO NEED, If people wey know me dey price am like this, wetin people wey no know me go come price am" that I should find a way to make this thing work out.

And so I did:

8KW Deye
35KW (2 x 17.5KW) Felicity Lithium
12KWp Jinko s (8x625W + 16x440w)
After powering up around 1PM yesterday, the Batteries filled up before 4PM from 40% to 100%. grin
Thanks to Deye SmartLoad Function

Load:
8 x 1.5hp LG Dual Inverters Permanently Put on Inverter Mode (5 Units on SmartLoad)
1 x 620Ltr 4 Door Samsung Fridge
1 x 420Ltr Hisense Freezer (SmartLoad)
6 x 60Inch LED TVs
1 x 100Ltr Water Heater (SmartLoad)
1 x Double Burner Electric Cooker Unit (SmartLoad)
1 x 3ft Double Fan Cooker Heat Extractor (SmartLoad)
1 x Microwave Oven (SmartLoad)
1 x 0.75hp Pressure Pumping Machine
1 x Water Dispenser
>Plenty Lighting Points (No vex I lost counts)
>Other plenty Gadgets.

Clients can be difficult, But do your best as the Engineer to convince them with evidence.

Used 1 unit of Original 12v 200ah Ritar SMF battery for sale

Battery was used under best practices (50% DoD) and charged optimally most times. It was used for 2 and half years.

Based on the load test I jperformed on the battery using the energy-efficient EASun satchet inverter on a load of 130w (just a 55" Hisense smart TV) it gave a backup time of 4 hours before hitting 12.0v from full charge. I project another 1 hour before the battery gets completely drained.

If you are looking to power a staggered load of lights, standing fan and laptop (all below 70w at any time), this will give you good value for money as it will last up to 7 hours

Battery will come with a free DC voltage meter that gives an independent voltage reading and a defective energy-efficient 18" Qasa AC/DC standing fan. I can refer you to someone that can fix it.

Price: 90,000 firm. Waybill is welcomed

Growatt is far better, heard Gennex is not too good with warranty on their inverters.

If you are not getting VICTRON, get DEYE, but if Deye is above you budget, get GROWATT, if Growatt is still above your budget get SRNE.

Any high frequency inverter outside above 4 mentioned inverters, just get SMS Sunmate Inverter if going for 24v or 48v.

NB: iPowerPlus 5kva is still good if going for low frequency inverter.
