Wannebe Intro
Future replied to Wannebe's topic in Starting In Solar? Feel free to introduce yourself
Hi guys @wannebe Assuming you have the 6 on the one mppt and the 9 on the other. Are you not afraid of damaging the one mppt with 9 x 540 = 4860w in the summer months seeing that one mppt takes 4000w max. I'm asking as I have the same inverter with 2 strings of 545w x 4 and want to increase it to either 545 w x 8 =4360w or by 545w x 7 = 3815w -
Axpert inverter not peaking up the generator
Future replied to Pieter Khaki's topic in Axpert Firmware
Good day all 2 years late for this topic hope it helps someone later I found that the generator was set at 51hz and the inverter at 60hz on the output frequency which i changed to 50hz and it's working fine now. I noticed it preferred charging with the solar rather then the generator. Will try at night and see if it chargers I'm running a kodak max 7.2kw inverter -
@87 Dreamthanks for the insight I think I will have to also get a 7 kw generator or close there for cloudy days. The loads I have is a fridge, deep freeze hair dryer once a week, kettle but that we can move on to the gas stove to heat water for coffee n so on and a gas geyser If it comes to where we don't have sun for four days then I will have to get a generator. Would another Kodak fl5.2 suffice or not or what would I have to also increase the panels

@Taahirthanks will set it up that way. And I've forgotten to mention i will be going completely off grid. At the moment I am using eskom to see how the fl5.2 does during load shedding and after 2 hours with full daily use it reaches 77% capacity from 98% with out the pv panels connected. The plan is to 1st save up and add another battery then monthly buy a panel or 2 until I reached capacity for mppt

Try disabling the by pass or line mode option from the watch power app

ART545-144-1500MH-FULL-BLACK_Datasheet.pdfFL5.2.pdf https://solarbackup.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/KODAK-Axpert-MAX-manual-20200727.pdf Hi guys Im new to solar and would appreciate all the advice i can get I have finally purchased the 7.2 OG kodak max with the kodak FL 5.2 lithium battery and 8 art solar panels each with 545 watts. I also have the dc cabling and battery cable. With a keto fuse holder. What would the best way be to set up my pv arrangement? PMAX 545w, VOC 49.7v, ISC 13.91A What else would be the necessities of a system like this like, ac breakers, DC breakers, DC disconnects, AC disconnects, battery fuse size, PV DC fuse size All help and advice would be highly appreciated
