  1. Hi I am looking for a 3kva 48v inverter I have a Narada NPFC 50 battery available (gifted) I would like to build a portable backup station for an elderly lady with the need to keep an oxygen machine and maybe a tv and a light or 2 going for a few hours. Regards

    Hi I have a brand new Narada 48NPFC50 Lithium Iron battery that was donated to me. Currently I have no use for it but would have loved to be able to use it in my camper to power the fridge lights etc etc. Will this be possible and what will I need fro the setup. I also have 2 x 325 Canadian solar panels that I can use. Which charge controller inverter etc will I be able to use Will it be worth it or should I just donate if and go for a 12v system Regards Narada specs
  3. OK so it is set for now I will just add another panel and connect everything and see how it goes....... I know some education will be needed towards the usage but I am sure that I have over calculated the usage. Bottom line those kids (and moms) need the lights and to be safe using it. I will definitely consider to build another system in a few months time and will ask for some advice when the time comes. I would like to see a system that can run all the lights and provide enough power for some entertainment like a TV and radio and a much needed PC for the kids to assist with the schoolwork.and like I said a charging station for phones and other devices.
  4. Thanx TTT If all the LED`s are 12v can I connect them strait onto the PWM`s load output. I have connected 8 LED`s like this just for a test and it no flickering etc. The inverter I thought was only to provide 220v. I see your calculations are based on 6 batteries I only have 4 I will order another panel asap. I might be able to get my hands on another set of 4 of the same batteries but for now I want what I have to work the best it can.
  5. Hi TTT Nothing is cast in stone and I will gladly make any changes if it will make the system works better. Since I am funding everything I hope to get away with what I have but I am willing to spend more if really need be. The lights The 6w LEDs will probably be on for 6-8 hours a day. They will provide much needed light for the kids to be able to do homework read etc. Currently candles and lanterns are used and according to me that is just to big hazard. The 10w LED spotlights will be on from sundown until morning. Already installed with a 12v day night switch waiting to be connected. I am in Pretoria Thanx
  6. Hi I am new to the forum and thank you for the acceptance. I am currently working on a project/got involved to assist a shelter that helps/assist woman and children that are getting out of abusive relationship or that have ended up on the street as the only way to get out of such relationships. 20 Wendy houses have been made available for living quarters with no electricity. I am planning to provide and install a solar system that will provide lights and hopefully in future a bit more like charging station/entertainment area with a inverter. Please note I am not asking for anything no donations nothing just some advice for someone who is handy to do stuff but who does not necessarily have the knowledge to do this the correct way. This is what I have at this point in time 4x HRL12330W batteries 1x Ecco 40A PWM charge controller 2x 100w Enersol panels 15x 6w 12v LEDS lights. 4x 10w LED Spotlights I have connected everything 4 batteries in parallel 2 solar panels in parallel 1.fan with temp switch to try and keep battery box cool/ Fuses and trip switches have been bought and will be installed (Google was my friend as to how to do the connections position of fuses/trips) The question is this will those 2 panels be able to charge the batteries enough and yes I know that it will depend on the usage but for now it will only power 15x 6w led`s and 4x 10w spotlights Regards
