HeavenlyBang:
What part of this looks like an E63 to you?

jceesquare:

You didn't indicate if yours has dual climate control settings.
While changing the expansion valves, did you check the switching valves to know if its stuck in one position?

Hello guys and good evening. Pleasei just installed my felicity CC and i'm having trouble connecting it to the inverter. I'm using a normal network cable and I've tried both the RS-232 and the RS-485 port on the inverter but it just flashes for 10 seconds and goes off. Please how can i go about this as i dont want to overcharge this battery if both AC and is available?
Inverter is IVPS3524
Charge controller is SCCM8048

Thanks

microgiant:


boss installer na, pay small money before you waste money.

Inverter is IVPS3524 = 24V

Charge controller is SCCM8048 = 48V

It was installer that did it oh. I never reach to mount myself . The installer did not know about the feature. When it was installed,
the CC auto detected it was a 24V system and to avoid stories that touches, i changed it to 24V myself on the CC settings.

Very difficult to diagnose solar generation issues without significant information about the system, notes of things can go wrong. Here are the information you should provide.

* What type of battery are they connected to. e.g Tubular or AGM, if possible provide the name or picture.

How are the s connected, e.g 2 In series (4 in series would damage the inverter solar charger because it would be more than the maximum PV input of the inverter which is at 145v.

* What is the make of the , do you have the specification sheet (usually the label at the back) where did he get the s from.

*
What is the distance between the roof (assuming the s are installed on the roof) and the inverter e.g if the house is an "upstairs" is the inverter installed on the ground floor? this helps to gauge distance. And if possible what type of wiring was done between inverter and solar . If you don't know a picture might help.

My preliminary assessment based on what you provided and some assumptions of mine.

I am assuming the s are connected 2 in series. If this is the case, the total voltage of the assuming VMP is 35v might not be sufficient to charge a 48v battery system when you factor in losses. A 48v battery (assuming tubular) needs at least 57.6v to properly charge. This means the solar of 70v would struggle to charge such a battery system when you calculate wiring and heat related losses, in fact they won't much much room for MPPT to happen and this might for the low charge you are seeing.

If my assumptions are correct and assuming the right wire size is used, then you friend would be best served switching to a 3 in series configuration. This would make 2 extra s redundant. He can stick to using 6 s in a 3S2P (3 in series, 2 parallel) configuration or buy an extra 400w and set them to a 3S3S 3 in series, 3 parallel configuration.

Jefferyzz:
E should not add any . Best is for him to bring those s down n test them one after d other.. something is wrong somewhere. It's either the s orientation is poor or some of d s are bad or cable problem.

Dam5reey:


He should be getting at least 2.6kw during peak periods.

Try to charge with Solar only, also check maximum solar charge current if it's set to maximum of 80A.
Whats the PV configuration, it looks like 2s4p, if we can see the spec sheet of the , it will help determine if he can do 3s or 4s Instead, your friends version can only take max VOC of 145V as stated on inverter.
Also Orientation maybe an issue.

For the battery, it's better you purchase 200ah (200ah * 25.6v = 5120W) Lifepo4 from @Valto.

With coupled LFP you are sure of getting real capacity.

@Valto such question is partly the reason I said it's always good to post price of any products posted . Some prospective clients might have some questions but don't even know how to ask.

Valto is the only one I know who couples LFP, but others can equally post their prices if they couples as valto does.

For a load of 1100W I believe 5kva is too much as the idle consumption will take much from your battery. You are better with 2.5kva - Max 3kva.

I am even considering running equivalent or a little less load on 1.6kva inverter.

ojeysky:


Felicity is not bad if you have the budget you may do growatt but 5kw is too much, you can do 2 to 3kw

9icetoo:

Nothing much to worry about.

It's a good SUV.

It's now becoming very popular.

Go ahead if you see a good one.

However, make sure you know the maintenance history for the timing belt.

Do a vincheck to know when last it was changed and the current mileage.

If it has not been changed (usually changed every 105k miles or every 7 years whichever comes first), then budget to change it with genuine belt after purchase.

The engine will be destroyed if that timing belt quits while you are driving.

Other than that, fire down.

He, one last thing.
The fuel consumption is not like Corolla oo.

So don't ever except to see anything above 18mpg on the highway or 14mpg in the city.

If you reside in lagos, expect 10mpg.

Noted and thanks.
P.S I hate corolla and the percieved low fuel consumption thingy. Some people's corolla are in so bad a shape that it competes with FX35 fuel consumption

9icetoo:

Others have done justice to your .....(I really don't have a word for it.

This will be my last response.
At 2700 rpm on a similar car with the same engine that you have in the zdx, I am already doing 130 to 140km/hr on a flat road.

I keep up with traffic easily at 3000 rpm and usually do not need to get to that to overtake.

My gear-changes when I am driving sanely occur at 2200 rpm on a flat road and at 2500 on slight inclines.

It is up to you to either grenade this engine, burn out your catalysts or keep this car on the road for the next few years.

See ya.

First model 1998-2002

Used Parts are all becoming scarce (the car don de finish)

The 2004-2006 with the 3mz is the current transport champion on Nigerian roads, same engine and transmission as the ES330 (flip to page to to read) sturdy suspension, abused day and night and it peforms.

The 2006-2010 with the 2gr-fe engine, not loved by the transporters as it apparently consumes more fuel, and it requires an engine drop for any major engine job.

2011-date. Those ba3tards built nonsense, the car just long like limo with horrible ground clearance, it did not receive same welcome as it's predecessor, it also has a ₦1m transmission if you do any how. It's the real definition of big for nothing .

This is almost vawulence sir.

The yeye Gearbox is always misbehaving.

Engine Does not recover from overheating.

zeestone99:


Any idea of the inverter charging current, d charging current wouldn't matter if you have a properly sized pv array.

zeestone99:


Ok so? What do you need

You were faster than me

zeestone99:


My broda. I can't see all messages. Many of this things have been discussed in previous threads. It's not that easy answering same questions you have answered previously 20 times over. The one I see I give my fair share of ans. The ones I don't see someone's else ll. To b honest I didn't see your question. We learn everyday, it's not the end.
