123aH from a 100aH battery is PHENOMENAL performance shocked

If I had to guess, I'd say the cells are probably repurposed 130aH Grade B cells? Either way, looks like a big win for consumers.

Person go see this one still tell you make you buy tubular grin

Please guys this is urgent... I've been testing out a 220/12v turbular battery and a 1100/12v volts inverter for my small work space only. The owner is about to collect his set up back.

Can you guys recommend a better option or quality batteries and inverters I can use. Please.

wow..so Gazzuzz is late. I had a business deal with him, changed my mind after i had paid him, and he refunded within 5mins. Most people go use delay tactics steal the money. Nothing dey this life. And secondly, i need to appreciate you @bassdow. When i entered this thread a novice, u answered most of my yeye questions and gave so much insights. You're a very practical person.

Would really like to know why for the bolded.
AnyOne with very basic knowledge would tell you how Hybrid inverters are more efficient which is true. And sachet inverters are much more efficient than even the standard sized hybrid inverters.
All is good till they go bad; then you quickly realize probability of successful repairs often are low.

As for sachet inverter, that one is even worse. As in, they ain't really meant to be repaired to begin with.

Hence reason I always and often advocate for normal transformer based inverters.

Back in the days when the Naira wasn't as weak as it currently is; when cost of sachet inverters were reasonable, I could suggest one BUYs one while waiting to afford a New / Used standard sized inverter.
Even then, I never suggest anything above 1.5-Watts and at most 2. Anything above, just do yourself some good by getting the standard real thing.

But nowadays, with how weak the Naira is, and how unReasonably high the cost of a sachet inverter is, as a frugal person that I am, I wouldn't suggest sachet inverter to anyOne. You're better off buying a well USED inverter or a cheap used UPS than buy a sachet inverter; else it becomes a case of Penny wise Pounds foolish.

Because the moment it goes bad, na to throw way am. Just like you would when your Bluetooth earphones stops working. And they are quick to go bad.

So you see why I asked He doesn't. At end of the day, the only person who looses when things go awry is the client / customer.

Even some Used charge Controllers are more expensive than brand new ones of funny brands I see you guys advertising in here.

Have on several occasions, seen performance increase after replacing higher rated charge controllers with lower rated ones.

If Una like, make Una ignore the message because Una no like the messenger, na Una sabi.

RIP to GAZZUZZ. Wonder why the good ones don't last long.

This is a good write up except that Satchet Inverter repair probability when they go bad is low…Says who
If this is your personal experience that they mostly can’t be repaired then it’s only because your engineer is either incompetent enough or has no idea on how to go with the repairs. #NoShades
Next time you should rather say you’ve never successfully repaired one rather than saying their probability is low when they go bad.
My satchet inverter was damaged by lightning and it was repaired, I’ve been using it ever since then without issues.
This is a public space and never say something is impossible just because your personal experience with it states that.
My hybrid inverter that was damaged by lightning has been with an engineer for more than 8months and I got a call last week that he couldn’t fix it….Traditional non hybrid inverters will always be more repairable than hybrid inverters.
If you have one that is currently bad and you need them repaired…Let me know so I can connect you to the right plug here on Nairaland.

Which hybrid inverter is that what's the cause of the problem?

As much as people feel hybrid systems are cheaper and efficient, the ways of the old has always been tested and trusted.

Imagine 8months of downtime, you will then appreciate having a seperate cc and inverter.

RIP to GAZZUZZ. Wonder why the good ones don't last long.

Er, ok. I hear you. I think you reason for discouraging him from buying a sachet inverter is not cogent enough, IMO.

Any electronic equipment can go bad, and be repaired or not, depending on the extent of damage. I was expecting some sort of performance related issue as your reason.

I personally have used a sachet inverter for years without any single problem. Heck I've even had mine drenched in rain and somehow survived. I only got to know rain was reaching it where I thought it was safe the day I didn't go to work, it rained buckets and I decided to check how the inverter was holding up. I was so shocked that I tiptoed for fear the place might be live and switched off the inverter.

I started from 1000w/12v to my present 5000w/24v I use currently. Mind you I have used Schneider 1.5kva hybrid inverter before, also mercury UPS as inverter. Non of them gave me value as much as the sachet inverters.

Infact I had one sachet inverter zap when I mistakenly connected it's output to grid. It was repaired at Arena market, oshodi. I did the same mistake a second time unfortunately. The repairer said it could be repaired if I had wanted to,but the cost wasn't worth it anymore.

I have seen pure sachet inverter destroyed by thunder and another that just started misbehaving get repaired for way more affordable amounts that regular inverters would have costed.

Lastly nobody hates you, quit taking discussions here personal. No knowledge is a waste, and a stiff ego will deprive you of adding to your knowledge. Be open to criticism. Smile. 😊

Yeah...solar generation has improved recently. Mine is mixed s of 2x jinko 625w, 8x 270w(Chinese sunpower) and 1x 280w Neptune all connected in series . Making total 3.69kw pv. Seeing over 90% instantaneous generation is refreshing

Yeah, the science checks out ok.
All s in series gives you a loss of 12%,
3257watts max possible harvest
31.2volts...avg vmp
Imp...105a

all in parallel is 11.8% loss

Arranging all similar s in series then paralleling them would hvv given you over 70% loss....i think this was where the myth of derating to the smallest comes from
ojesymsym:
I co ask.

I had a discussion with someone about this one time and he convinced me that the whole setup will work with the capacity of the lower rated s, these info you requested for will be interesting to have.

.

Sachet inverter are 100% repairable and their parts are available since most of them use similar parts, I just repaired mine with damaged mofsets, the mofsets are easily accessible and repair done within shortest period of time.

I even mistaken connected 12v 500w inverter to 24v battery, smoke came out and the inverter is still working on perfectly.

But I have seen over 3257w.....

nice....me don talk wetin science talk..if you are exceeding it routinely, me no sabi again. kudos to you...are these peaks sustained/last up to 2minutes...or they just flash and go?. whats the max instantenous, you have ever obtained?...whats the max cumulative you have harvested?

that your inverter anern?

AnyOne with very basic knowledge would tell you how Hybrid inverters are more efficient which is true. And sachet inverters are much more efficient than even the standard sized hybrid inverters.
All is good till they go bad; then you quickly realize probability of successful repairs often are low.

As for sachet inverter, that one is even worse. As in, they ain't really meant to be repaired to begin with.

Hence reason I always and often advocate for normal transformer based inverters.

Back in the days when the Naira wasn't as weak as it currently is; when cost of sachet inverters were reasonable, I could suggest one BUYs one while waiting to afford a New / Used standard sized inverter.
Even then, I never suggest anything above 1.5-Watts and at most 2. Anything above, just do yourself some good by getting the standard real thing.

But nowadays, with how weak the Naira is, and how unReasonably high the cost of a sachet inverter is, as a frugal person that I am, I wouldn't suggest sachet inverter to anyOne. You're better off buying a well USED inverter or a cheap used UPS than buy a sachet inverter; else it becomes a case of Penny wise Pounds foolish.

Because the moment it goes bad, na to throw way am. Just like you would when your Bluetooth earphones stops working. And they are quick to go bad.

So you see why I asked He doesn't. At end of the day, the only person who looses when things go awry is the client / customer.

Even some Used charge Controllers are more expensive than brand new ones of funny brands I see you guys advertising in here.

Have on several occasions, seen performance increase after replacing higher rated charge controllers with lower rated ones.

If Una like, make Una ignore the message because Una no like the messenger, na Una sabi.

RIP to GAZZUZZ. Wonder why the good ones don't last long.

I am glad you opened your post with a mention of the efficiency of the satchet inverters. They are very energy efficient, consuming so little from your batteries to power themselves, as opposed to traditional inverters. This is a major decision factor for some people.

The emboldened are completely false. How does it even make sense to you that such devices could be produced without any possibility of being repaired?

I did discover the challenge of repairs and saw value in filling that gap, that is why i went out of my way to get the specific mosfets and cards for the Easun pure sinwave satchet/offgrid inverts earlier this year and also got a dedicated technician for it. And within the last 3 months, we have been able to fix nearly 10 of the inverters, most of which were damaged by lightening strikes (like every other inverter would) and needed to have a couple of mosfets and cards replaced. Below pic shows the defective cards that were removed and replaced with new working ones.

The repairs were done successfully without the inverters having a relapse. Some of the owners of these repaired inverters are here on this platform, and i have gotten their consent to mention them: rajo4real (and his friend, who isn't a member of this forum) and RickyM (who has already commented). Even the person you quoted, Trippledots, have fixed 2 successfully. PenuelSeun should be picking up his this week and I am expecting one from Allemcity/Allem soon to be sent for repairs. These people are on this thread and you can from them

As to the cost of these satchet inverters; It is simple maths. As the price of normal inverters rise due to our battered currency, do you not expect the price of satchet inverters to rise as well? For people on a tight budget and already on a modular/standalone system, satchet inverter still remains a viable option. You will spend X2 to even X3 to get the equivalent rating of the satchet inverter for a normal inverter, still justifying the cost of satchet inverter.

I also arrived at 3257W max possible harvest using the lowest current among the s as the max current possible from his installed capacity of 3704W.

If he getting higher than the calculated max possible harvest, maybe that theory ing the lowest current to derate may be wrong after all.

That is why it is always good to test and measure before accepting anything as fact. Thanks Mr Peter for throwing up this data.

Peterlove11:


But I have seen over 3257w.....
Now with this new info, I went to use the Isct current (9.06A) to redo the calculation and arrived at max possible power of 3412W, which corresponds with what you are getting.

Your next research should now be what happens to the s (sunpower in this case) that are consistent run at short circuit, to know if there are any effects on them. Because I believe the JK s will be driving lot of those currents when there is enough sunlight to do so.
earthrealm:


Yeah, the science checks out ok.
All s in series gives you a loss of 12%,
3257watts max possible harvest
31.2volts...avg vmp
Imp...105a

all in parallel is 11.8% loss

Arranging all similar s in series then paralleling them would hvv given you over 70% loss....i think this was where the myth of derating to the smallest comes from
