How do you deal with Inverter heat?
mateusz1945 replied to clokwise's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
pcb has 2 channels . i bought it in case i have second inverter in the future. splitter is used to divide power to 3 fans so only one channel is used. whole enclosure is DIY connected with piece of aluminium and wood -

How do you deal with Inverter heat?
mateusz1945 replied to clokwise's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
that pcb is a controller and a thermostat and cost like 2$. (PWM smooth control) For me overkill is involving software and programing but you still need switch for the fans. also using home assistant for collecting data from solarman. Used it to calibrate termostat to desired temp. After that you can forget it. -

temp sensor connected to heatsink also. fans starting to speed up above 39C. with this pcb fans idle always (1.3w) i thought it was strange but room could benefit from ventilation. monitoring internal temperatures with home assistant. -

i added extra exhaust to the outside . 3 pc fans automatically controlled by dedicated pcb. Room gets ventilation and inverter stays cool. since installed internal DC temperature never allowed to reach 70 C -

do you provide work permit? what is a compensation? -
whatever Deye cloud ( and home assistant using deye data) calculates is is off by like 2kwh a day. (pea meter spinning disc meter showing more consumption) i wonder if its worth to add meter like chnt ddsu666 (seen on aliexpress for like 15$) - would it calibrate deye calculations? also i dont want to look outside at the meter every couple of days , neighbor looking at me funny * i already tried to change CT ratio settings to calibrate it up and down and still error is the same,

type panels and stuff you like on FB search . Some wholesaler near you probably posted some advertisement. Respond. Might be necessary to chat to negotiate prize (use translator). Many times you can do cash on delivery or pickup yourself from warehouse. prices will be better than Lazada/ shopee that is what installers do anyway, if you find right people they will pass the savings to you and just come with all stuff and install. (happened to me)

agree that for faster return on investment everything you mention can be done and working fine. for me Devil is in details. Deye likely to last longer and has more flexibility connecting generator/microinverter/ smart load ( ups mode has no delays) also is modular . Can expand system and connect additional inverters .Battery comms can be cloud backed and remotely accessed, including errors. so piece of mind , futureproofing system , and of course play with bells n whistles too. Couldn't help it

5.4 Kwp + deye 5kw + 7 KWH battery = 160k
mateusz1945 replied to mateusz1945's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
those combiner boxes comes ready with installers all you do is connect your solar grid and inverter. I was pleasantly surprised how cool it is. didn't even know i will get load meter and v/a protector. this is how i solved sensor connection (pic) paper clip and thermal paste using double pwm controller (in case of future second inverter ) triple pc pwm fans connected to splitter. Only consumer 1.3w at idle and 11w at full steam. works great -
Inspired by others sharing their projects I thought I'd share mine. Solar was on my mind for long time so I was plotting everything just for fun. came up with ideal solar panels size for my roof and inverter MPPTs. Was researching what inverter make sense for me , knowing outages are annoying around here and ups batteries for my office only lasted a year i decided it has to be hybrid. Also thanks for this forum knowledge I definitely don't wanna do business with PEA. So the plan was small battery for outages, spinning meter backwards responsibly when nobody's looking. Plan was to cover my bill 100% but here where I was wrong. I had this done since may but i am constantly 25% short on production. That might actually be a good thing. because i don't wanna raise suspicions suddenly having zero bill Anyway... with my setup i can overpanel current inverter, add another inverter and another batteries. This could be done cheaper but I value functionality of Deye inverter and properly communicating lithium batteries too much. i found my crew on facebook group โซล่าเซลล์ รับงานติดตั้ง และหาช่างราคากันเอง posted picture of my roof and exactly inverter and panels size i wanted ( no battery no PEA certification). I got a lot of messages One nice lady gave me estimate with exactly what i wanted done for for 113K. For contrast other big company gave me estimate for 180K + 5k discount voucher. You know which one i went for. I have experience in electrical and construction so i know i could supervise this project. There was little quality problem that was fixed with extra 6k bath and extra day of work for them. Basically they went against my plan and started placing solar rails one row lower because it was easier to remove tiles. Went with this for first part of day which i regret then talked with them and we decided to redo this with extra payment. They showed up with panels, inverter did nice electrical work, questionable but corrected roof work and i am happy. Battery i added by myself later . Also i helped with hanging inverter and combiner box and separated circuits so their work is easier, SO: inverter deye 5k + solar 12x bifacial 450W + labor = 120K battery 7kw = 40K total 160K i recommend browsing this facebook group , there is a lot of advertising from wholesalers and prices for installers are very good you can catch good deals for panels too

Deye inverter 5kw. Is there a catch?
mateusz1945 replied to mateusz1945's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
they can run in parallel? that is a great news because i left exactly half of roof space open. i feel like a genius now. -
I seen you can buy Deye inverter on lazada and its advertised as PEA approved. Has zero export feature. My question is a feature or is it forced by PEA so you cannot export? I wanna be able to export to keep my bill close to zero. i almost decided to go ahead with solar system got nice quote from Facebook group seller. 12 x 450w n type panels of my choice with deye inverter installed on my high roof for 113 000B . i think it sounds great. I think i will skip battery for now. i might do DiY battery for half the of price later

good read how its done in Chang mai https://lenhend.com/building-in-thailand/septic-tanks/ i found this picture in it along with explanation. still don't know point of that P trap under ground because already got one under the sink. that curved connection between 2 wells i wonder if its optional and should be used in my case
-
there is a vent pipe installed on black plastic tank that is all. toilet 2 is not connected to smaller pipe next to it. Just appear so in this picture. angles of slope are small I do not like that.... i agree that T connect is bad it should be Y connected to toilet 1 and 2 I saw some people have 2 concrete wells separate for overflow septic and separate for gray water.... i don't know if that would my fix problem but seems it would give more area for water do dissipate into ground . and at least that would give me opportunity to fix connection to septic tank.

So house has 2 bathrooms , kitchen, bar sink and laundry. I took this picture when it was built. I thought people that "did that" know what they were doing. So fast forward 2 years later during rainy season showers and toilets drain slow but still works. But this year kitchen sink water comes up and drains super slow... sometimes clogs and stays there for hours. . Mind you only 2 people live in this house. Here is what I think : I need another concrete well , everything reconnected the way it make sense and maybe grease trap for kitchen sink. I don't really know who to ask and hire but this time i really have to know that its "done right" So dear members of community please advice
