    Adding solar to inverter-battery systems 101

    Last two questions.... 1...You use 0.8 in your calculation, can I ask why, what is the 0.8 suppose to be for? 2....Do you have a calculation to determine the right size solar panel to be use to charge specific batteries?

    Adding solar to inverter-battery systems 101

    Can I not just then add an additional 10amp battery tickle charger to assist the inverter charger during the times she does have electricity?

    The problem is with charging, hence the solar idea. Inverter doesn't get time enough to fully charge battery during their loadshedding, off line and usage times.

    I did ask their technical team, they said I can damage the inverter by adding solar as an additional charging component as the lalela inverter is not solar compatible to start of with.... Maybe explain to me how you see this for example .....Panel to charger controller to battery and inverter to...

    Adding solar to inverter-battery systems 101

    I spoke to the Lalela technical department regarding adding an additional battery onto the inverter, they said it is not adviceable to do so and the current battery set up is just not cutting it. Hence was thinking if it can charge via solar that would be great and a bigger battery. There is...

    Yes, no charger on inverter. Hence the solar Charge Controller, however not sure if the 30A controller will be sufficient for the 2 x 200AH Solar Gel Batteries OR 1 x 200AH Lithium Batteries. And I'm also not sure if the 2 X 380W solar Panels will be sufficient to charge 2 x 200AH Solar Gel...

    Hi, hoping you can give some advice. I'm trying to help a pensioner who doesn't have thousand to spend on nice hybrid models etc, so looking for something basic that she can run two 180W tv's during load shedding and lights at night. They have alot of electricity issues and some times it goes...

    Simple power backup for PC

    Hi, I have a few question regarding the lalela 720W inverter...... 1 - Has anyone hooked up a solar panel with a PMW charge controller on a lalela 720W inverter? Situation is currently even on 20Ah Charge the battery doesn't get charged enough, so we would like to utilize the sun as well to...

    Lead-acid vs Lithium-ion batteries during constant Eskom power cuts

    What is the appropriate charger setting for the Mecer 2400V / 1440W inverter with 2 x 12v100Ah Lead Acid Deep Cycle batteries in series (24v) for normal stage 2 loadshedding. My understanding on how to calculate charger requirement is 10% of Battery capacity…so 100Ah is 10amp charger setting or...
