For science, I think you have actually created another problem by using a 4mm cable in a 12v system, that's like 58A running through your cable line at peak hours since you are over led. Please make sure your breaker is properly sized. Enjoy your investment

So, I was able to move the solar mount from the side of the building to an open space where the building won't shade the s.

Bought another 26yrds of 4mm² to add to the 20yrds that was connected b4, making it a total of 46yrds of 4mm² from the current position to the charge controller.

I got around 700w at 1PM from the 1050w. When it was beside the house, by this time I'd get around 100 to 150w. Even when the sun hadn't shaded the fully at around 10 to 11AM, the highest I would get was around 500w.

The PowMr charge controller's limit is 720w. So if I'm getting 700w, I don't think I can complain anymore.

So, apparently, the fault wasn't from CWorth's , neither was it from the charge controller. The s were heavily shaded.

From my experience, I could say that excessive shading can limit pv's production up to 50% and higher.

For example, u mean after buying a Deye inverter, youll still have to spend over 200dollars to enable you monitor online? Same thing growatt does for free with a followcome dongle??

Real time update. Monitoring data always with you even if you are offline - data stored locally in your raspberry pi SD card. If you DIY it's not up to $200.

Anyways if all these perks are not your thing you can always use the inverter's monitoring software.

Please who uses smarten inverter here,mine just started tripping off with this message "Short circuit,please check wiring" The batteries are fine.


I don't know what that means,but I noticed recently that my appliances would sometimes shock me,off and on happening.

The first thing to do is this:
1) Remove the output wire (the wire from the inverter that powers your house).

2) Check if the short circuit is still present when you power up the inverter.

3) If yes, the inverter needs to be taken to a service center.


4) If no, there is a short circuit somewhere in your load.


5) If a short circuit is present, you can do the following yourself if you have a basic understanding of electrical wiring:

a) Turn off all loads, that is, turn off all sockets, bulbs, etc.

b) Check if there is any burnt-out light bulb still connected to a lamp holder. If yes, remove it, as it might be the source of the short circuit.


c) Check if any of the appliances (loads) are causing the short circuit by going around and turning on each one while you wait to see if the inverter will display a short circuit warning


If step (c) reveals the issue, you've found the culprit.

Disconnect your load and restart the inverter.

If it works fine, it's your load.

If it doesn't, it's a problem on the board

Good morning all, I have one 2kva 12V Sako inverter that drops charging to as low as 2A or should I say, the charging current starts dropping immediately it starts charging, no matter the level of the battery discharge (LiFePo4). Even though the charging current is set to 50A, PHCN charging for now, no solar s added yet. The inverter will need to be restarted like 2 to 3 times before it starts ramping up the charging to 47A. Any fix or settings to correct this issue?

Send to service centre that's the only solution

Hi guys,I am new here,
Read tru the pages,
Well-done guys,

I need quotation for a setup of 2kwh batteries with running power of 1800w+ that can accommodate a surge of close to 2500W

I hope I am getting my terminology right.

Something to just power my 2 bed apartment
Freezer,fridge,50 inches tv,2 ceiling fan,and couple of standing fans

I would appreciate responses,

The news about increment in phcn fee is scary

Help me please

ILOVEGARRI:


Help me please

4bmm is fine. The maximum current from that PV will barely excede 13a. Between the charge controller and battery is where he will need 16mm cable

Thanks so much bro,I noticed a recently fixed standing fan was the culprit. I was so relieved men😁

Thanks for taking your time to reply also.

Fortunately it was a fan that was just repaired that was causing the issue.

It's connected in series. Only 13.6a runs through the cable. The wire from the cc to battery is 6mm², since I'd be getting higher amps from the cc to battery.

what about a 4mm solar cable on a 4 420w cworth s on 2pS2p Connections on 12v system.

That's 2parallel series 2parallel

you are right if they are in series

Does this Haisic have a smart bms? Can you monitor cell performance via app?

I didn’t get the battery anymore bro, I ended up returning it the next day and collecting 420w s with it. I ended up buying 4pcs of 420w Cworth s.


I have been looking for a great battery deal for a long time, this is the best deal of the decade. 3.6kwh for 450k is crazy.

I have a columb meter so no need.

Interesting. Was the Cworth battery that bad that you returned it the next day?

I am also More curious about the Josh battery too. Did you return it or discarded it?

i ran a test on cworth battery overnight and returned it the next day. They didn't know tho.

The capacity was not enough for me, ran my fridge, tv and some fan of about 130w in total and it couldn't get me the next morning.

I gift the Josh battery to my junior brother. Got a sachet inverter and charger for him to use
as backup.

My build can’t power my 1HP astra Sumo pump. The Sumo switch is on, but it behaves as if the current is too low.

Here’s my setup:
8 pieces of 314Ah LiFePO4 batteries from Valto, connected in parallel using busbars.
200A JK 1A active balancer with Bluetooth BMS
60A Felicity MPPTz
2 solar s rated at 250 watts each.

I just got the MPPT yesterday. When I tested it, the voltage was at 25.8V. Once I switched on the Sumo, the voltage dropped to 24V, but the pump didn’t start.

I’m thinking that once it charges the system to 28V, it might be able to power the Sumo.

What do you think?

That’s so cool. Besides, from Damreey test, you can tell that this one is a steal for 450k. Enjoy!
