Hello everyone, Unsure if this is the right section to post in but after some much needed help and advise. I have solar and wind power running through a hybrid inverter which is all running very well. Although recently our toilet macerator seems to have developed what seems like an intermittent fault in that it doesn't always kick in straight away... Almost like it's stalling before it decides to work. The second we switch over to the mains it works fine, which leads me to believe that the problem is not the macerator its self but an issue working whilst using PV and battery power. Any feedback greatly appreciated and hope above makes sense. Thanks for looking

But surely it would gain as possible to be charging for 24hrs a day rather than just day light hours

Once the wind turbine is installed will this not also aid the charging cycle?

Yes sorry mis typed 2x24v

I shall be fitting an ista - breeze 2kw 48v wind turbine also in the coming weeks so that should also aid with the battery charging

Hi, they are 2 banks of 12 2v cells wired in parallel.

It's an electric shower so is a big sudden draw, won't be an issue in the long run as I have a some PV water panels to put up but that won't be happening until next year sadly. So for the time being it's best to run a separate line for the shower through its own RCD. Do you have any idea what the charge and discharge voltages should be? Off the top of my head I think they are currently set at 54v and 46v.

Hi think the model is VMII-5.5KW Many thanks

Good morning Ladies and gentlemen, I have yesterday managed to finally get my solar panels and inverter up and running yesterday for a short while. There is a couple of issues that I'm facing... System is as follows; 2.8kw of PV 2 X forklift lead acid battery 260ah each running 48v 5.5kw hybrid inverter (don't believe it has a brand name off of eBay) Currently set at SBU and FLT battery. What other settings should I change as the rest are at default? When I put the shower on on the second occasion the system went into overload fault. I understand that the shower is far too much load for the system but thought it would revert to grid? Is there anything I can do put system into line mode or could the damage the battery over time? Am I better off just running a separate line and RCD just for the shower? Any help information on above matters would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks
