Pebbles

I get flickering on some lights when it switches from solar priority to Grid. SO at sunset it flickers as it jumps between grid and the last of the sunshine. I personally do not like flickering. One LCD monitor flickers, but nothing else. I just hear the clicking.

I dont know if this theory will work, so let me run it by the pros. I get good sun on my 3 460-watt panels from 8 am to 2 Pm, then the sun starts to go behind the panels. The problem is my inverter max input is 140 V and 1500 Watts, so adding more panels in a different location is a no go. I was thinking add another 3 solar panels in parallel and having a changeover switch between them. Then at 2 PM, I can just switch over to the 3 panels on the side of the house that catch the post-2 PM solar? Even better,r have a smart switch to do it for me.

I am using a Navasolar and my friend is using a Musk , and both of these 3K inverters (along with many) have this setting.

I cannot be the first to be confused over the difference between solar priority and SBU.

Found the solution, it takes time when on solar all day to build up a map.

neiher does mine, mine is a Navasolar 3kw, but PV priority seems to be a sub. The problem is when PV is low it uses battery ( I am sure of it). Then when solar vanishes you hear the A/C kick on and go crazy charging back up the batteries.

I am new, and already purchased one panel specs: The specs of my Navasolar inverter are: On their website the maximum wattage is Solar Charger Maximum PV Array Power : 1500W MPPT Range @ Operating Voltage : 30~115VDCVDC Maximum PV Array Open Circuit Voltage : 145VDC Maximum Solar Charge Current : 60A Maximum AC Charge Current :60A Maximum Charge Current : 60Aor Also, as I am new, when there is no loadshedding is any of the excess solar (assuming batteries are full) supplied to the loads I have on it?

yeah I am wondering also.

Thanks, The reading was when I briefly had it on load. I think today it was almost 40v. and the battery is full. I hope the panels are not crap. I am learning fast that a 5Kw inverter is the way to go as it offers a massive increase in input volts and wattage over 3Kw But most 3kw inverters have specs that are identical to mine. This video helps a lot, seems like my stuff is in order https://youtu.be/5sYi_HFgmSY?si=LWouCCqCmtFx2TdJ

is this only for a Hybrid inverter or a normal inverter

So that means the max panels I can put on this inverter are only 2?????????? Because the one panel I have right now is 480Watts. The max on the inverter is 1500Watts and max Voltage 145. I really thought I could put 6 panels.

6mm it is 6 M to panels

SO is one solar panel even doing anything?

I have a 3KW inverter by Navasolar. I am brand new. I have a single 460-watt panel connected in full sun and I can see from the P4 and P5 screens that it generates watts, sometimes they are at 0 and then sometimes at 11 and I have seen them go up to 140w. Not sure why that is. But why is the Pv screen showing now watts and no Watt hr? below is when I disconnected AC Volts is about 36V, panel Machine specs are. For all the videos on YouTube, you would think someone could explain what these universal screens mean.

Hi I am new so dont shout. But My 3Kw inverter is on a sub panel which comes after the Earth leakage from my main DB. I don't have any additional Earth leakage on the Sub panel. Is this okay as the sub panel is protected by the 1 main earth leakage. Or should I power the subpanel before the main EL and then it have its own Earth leakage?
