He continued in the post, pointing out the exact thing he noticed about his 1.5kVA solar inverter 2 minutes after it began to charge.
His explanation:
“Charging very well, but after like 2 minutes the inverter will start crying out, then stop and later start again. I don’t know where the fault is. Please help me out.”
Reactions as man speaks about solar system
Arnold Adim wrote:
“Why would you do an installation without reading the nameplate of the inverter. The maximum Isc of this inverter is 17A connecting two 630w in parallel on a good day will exceed 17A. Always read. There is no standard connection. Connection would always depend on the inverter/ charge controller you are using. So the right thing is to connect in series.”
Kolawole Emmanuel added:
“Go and change the panel connection to series before the inbuilt charger will get burnt.”
Kenneth Izu shared:
“U are supposed to connect it in series because it high in voltage than amps that inverter normal is 20ahms mppt charger controller inside and 630w pane is about 14 ams per one and u went and connect it in pallarel which.”
Mohammed Ojo added:
“Hiz Pedro don’t let anyone advise you wrongly. I did series-parallel connection with 3 panels on this particular inverter. That’s why you must understand design stage well before you even attempt to install or be an installer. If you have any problem regarding this, you can dm..”
Nweze said:
“18A Imax, 100V Vmax. Go for Series connection, Ur inverter will regulate the excess voltage generated and convert to amperage for charging. But also ensure the inverter is busy during a very sunny day or Hence, use One panel for now. Lastly u may go for 2pcs of 550W”
