Thanks for your info, I will try check on that. Returning it would be preferred option but the return time is already out on Lazada and the seller not even reply. Supposed to have 1 year warranty..so lets see if I get any out of that. Pink

So I bought a new gas stove 2 weeks ago and now the one burner close down a few seconds after fire up. The shop do not reply on the matter and then i wondered how complicated can this be to fix? Anyone have any experience on the issue? I tried to ad a video but it failed. Pink

High power demand units on battery vs solar vs grid
Pink7 replied to Pink7's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
I see my breaker for my kitchen appliances is just have a 16A breaker so I might should consider do some changes on that. Pink -
I have not used my oven for many months because after some time it sometimes switch the Ac breaker in my breaker box so I was planed to bring it to service. When we discuss the issue we was told: -If oven already running and the switch the breaker its because of lower power supply. If the breakers switch already when start up the oven then its issue with the oven. Any others have some experience and view on this? I have 2 x 5000w tot 10kw inverters and I usually on 1xxx watt on each inverter in usage or less. I will do some testing with different power sources and see how that is going. Pink

Growatt SPF5000ES Offgrid 9kw DIY Solar Project
Pink7 replied to Pink7's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Today its 1 years since i got my solar setup up and working. My solar production for that year is 9,435 KWH so that should be around B38.7K saved on electric bill if 1 unit is B4.1. My average bill is B1xx per month. 13% of the cost of the setup back after first 12 months. If use same rates ROI will take 7.5-8 year. Pink -
I did a setup a year ago around this size. My electric bill used to be 3xxx/month and now im 99% offgrid. I have a ATS that i switch over to the grid if needed or it switch it self the few times i do not have enough power from solar or battery. In a year it happened maybe 3-4 times. I dont know the details on your power needs but i would consider double the batteries but i see your looking into a on/offgrid setup. Mine setup costed more or less 300K. 2 x 5k Growatt inverters and 28 x 320w panels and 280x32 batteries. I did the setup and hired some manpower for for mounting on roof etc with plans and instructions from me. Pink

I see more warnings lately on the largest solar forum related to DC breakers to not switch under load. Anyway Im switch when i need even load or no load and have never thought of it as any issue. Pink
-
I just seen warning several times last days like: No switching under load, stated very clearly. So I wanted to check what others here have to say about this. Pink
-
Lately I seen more warnings related to switch power with breakers under load so i thought I would start a discussion on this. I use my breakers to close down system at times and never thought of that as an issue. Whats your thoughts and experience on this? Pink
-
Thanks for the update Crossy. A few China seller know about this option and many not. It make the import easy, predictable and maybe even cheaper. Pink
-
Some time back I got my invert and batteries delivered by Thailand Special Line. Any one been able to find that service online? Pink

How about a solar car port on a budget?
Pink7 replied to Crossy's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
I respect everyone to choose to buy what they want and to what price they want. But i must say im happy i not go cheaper than i did and did end up buy something with lots of user, so easy to find info online. I see some buy off brand posting for help online with zero reply because no one with knowledge and interest for solar have same units. In the end in a whole solar setup a few thousand bath +/- on the inverter will not do much on the total. If i should try share any experience to any planing a new setup..Do research and not be cheap on the inverter(s). Regarding your over paneling, means even on cloudy days you probably be ok. Pink -
How about a solar car port on a budget?
Pink7 replied to Crossy's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
I must agree on that..I had some issues with charge not started and sometimes stopped before completed but seems to be solved now after some googling and also got some help. I also managed see over current protection in BMS log as over Voltage Protection ( who I know did not happened) Look like Deye is the brand to buy now for who want value for the money. Pink -
DIY 28kw/h Storage : EVE LF280k x 32 LiFePO4 Batteries
Pink7 replied to Pink7's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
In some days I will reach 100 Cycles on my battery (in about 11 months, so 9 per month) The batteries are as good as when I got them. No runaway cells and none issues at all. EVE LF280k is rated to 6000 cycles so they should last me 55 years 555!😂 Pink -

How do you like your Deye inverters Crossy? You look to have built up some great solar capasity. Pink -
We use allot of mulberries. I prefer high quality mulberries every day of the week before low quality or crazy overpriced strawberries. Generally i like to focus on all the great i can find here locally and not so much on what we use to have home. Pink
-
I tried the frozen strawberries in Makro but when i saw color disappear with the water when defreezing them it was over for me. Im not sure if they add color to them or what they do but after defreezing they did not have much red color left. Pink

Growatt SPF5000ES Offgrid 9kw DIY Solar Project
Pink7 replied to Pink7's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Got a advice and help to check my BMS settings today since my inverters sometimes not complete the charge: Found out that i should not use same max charge current settings on inverter and BMS. So I adjusted some down on inverter and some up on BMS charge current limit ( My system log show some: charge over current protection) So lets hope that solved that issue. It should because times in log corresponded with my issues. Pink -
Growatt SPF5000ES Offgrid 9kw DIY Solar Project
Pink7 replied to Pink7's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Today I got the highest watt value since my build went up 11 months or so ago: 7624Watt. I also noticed the current to be 20A on the one inverter who also highest i seen. My Growatt 500ESP are supposed to have limit on 22A from earlier 18A. Pink -
85-99% can be the point where you get the best value: short ROI. It take some time to get the overview on how all works and wht can do and not do. It took some time before i understood why and how over paneling is no problem is your inside max voltage. I wish I had added a few more panels too when its the hottest season.. But all in all very happy with my setup. Pink

Battery pack, fire detection and management?
Pink7 replied to Pink7's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Considering 12v dc ( 18650 3.7V x 4) vs 220c ac from outlet for heat monitoring ( battery and batery breaker) with W3230. I use ATS so I guess i should be on the sure side to be able to power heat alarm even if all inverter/battery power was down. Pink
