Sorry to hear that. It’s frustrating and I never figured it out. After several resets ( disconnect from battery) it finally started working. Epever never gave any good help....!
This is my first time to interact with these blogs... pls forgive me.
I bought and currently using a Tess Electric 100ah 12v battery. I am pleased with it but learning this as I go. I have more than enough power for refrigerator, lights, and making coffee in the morning! Thought about...
I have two 4 awg cables and they don’t get hot nor warm. I don’t see why I need to rewire my system for this Battery company who seems to be anal. My tiny place is fine, but others saying is a fire hazard?! I’m looking for truth not opinions.
Second, this company is saying i need bus bars...
Wow! Looking for a little understanding and not getting it.
Maybe this forum is not for me anymore!
My cables don’t get warm! Not a fire hazard! Everyone thinks they got a better opinion it seems and not simply tell me if the company has a legitimate remarks, as I believe they’re...
Wow, I put this in “beginners corner” to get some simple, straightforward advice and I get blah, blah, blah...
Wow!!!
I’ll move on and out. You can give your opinions to someone else!!
Below photos is my system: 200ah lifepo4 battery pack, 4 100w panels, Epever MPPT controller, with Giandel 2200w inverter.
Normally I run my 1425w coffee maker in the morning with no problems for the past 2 months. Today I tried my 1500w microwave for a 2 minute runtime during noontime sun...
So you say you run the house off your battery. Is it a tiny home? What appliances do you use? What loads is a typical day?
I thought of getting another 12v 100ah Tess and see if I can run my AC unit for 1 hour in the evening to cool my tiny home. What do you think?
So, you’re saying 1) to put on larger cables, and 2) use a 250A fuse.
I won’t be buying the clamp do to cost and not usefully but one time.
Should I installed a circuit breaker on the inverter side (like I have on the controller side)? If so, what size, 200A?
thanks!
Ok, sounds good.
So I put in a 270A fuse. How about also a circuit breaker between fuse and inverter? Tripping a breaker would be better than a fried fuse. Circuit breaker at 270A or 250A? Or, would that be counter-productive ?
Yes, very strange... and why is mine working? I glad it is, but not confident with it when I leave home!!! If it does this again, I’ll try my old PWM controller. Do you have any old controller to try? Or, can you get one and try it? Just thinking of possibilities....
Ok, been doing this for a short while and all was good. Now the PV is out on MPPT, but solar panels are good, have 20v with 0a. Why?
Did a reset with breaker, then with battery. Both restarted MPPT, it started working right but PV light went out and no Amps!
Is this new MPPT bad? I did...
Update:
I did a reset again (about 7th time)...
Now, MPPT seems to be normal for the past 10 minutes... it charges up my battery and now on a float charge at 0.7amps, looks normal.
so what happened? When I’m gone and if this happens again, my battery will not be charged and get depleted.
I’m...
Even if the battery was fully charged, the PV light should be on all the time, & a float charge of maybe 0.5amps should be flowing.
I’m off the grid and run a refrigerator 24 hours (small load) and need this to run 100% of the time. PV light is flashing or On, never off as that indicates a...
I have 4 panels as I plan on getting another battery soon, but MPPT is working now and hope it stays that way.
Don’t know what the glitch was? But thankful for the problem to be gone and working right now.
I agree, check polarity first.
I imagine it is correct, so then (I’m no expert here, still learning myself) I would disconnect batteries from controller for 10-15 minutes. I believe the controller logic is stuck and deenergizing it, but who knows...
Then reconnect, check it controller is...
Wow, that’s a nice move. Like to is some pics when you have them. You have a tiny home, or something else?
With that battery bank, what’s the setup you’re doing? Series & Parallel combination?
Wow, that’s bad. You didn’t get any failure info from the program? My MT50 didn’t show any failures. Guess I’m fortunate in getting mine working somehow.
How many times have you reset the power to the controller?
How many times have you done the factory reset?
Hope you can figure it out...
so, did it work? Is your system running?
I just replied to another about his problem was the same as mine. Thought it was you, my mistake. Hope you’re doing better now. My system continues to do the normal thing - work.
