Nadeem Ahmed Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I have recently installed Infini V 5KW inverter at my house. It runs all of my household lights, fans, 2 referigerators, 1 inverter based air conditioner. A microwave and an iron is also on it but they are occasionally used for short periods. There is a second inverter based air conditioner which I have not connected to this inverter yet. I have 3-phase grid supply available.Throughout the day, the load varies anywhere from 600W to 2500W. I am using SUB mode. I have 3 strings of 325W x 3 Renesola solar panels (9 panels) connected at PV1 input of this system. At peak sunny days, I have noticed these panels going up to providing 2KW of power (as shown on the inverter LCD). I was expecting to get some electricity saving each month but I was surprised to notice that I got almost the same amounts of KWh units consumed as last month. Then I started taking readings from my grid meter on daily basis. My daily consumption was between 36-41 units per 24 hours. I then kept my inverter switched off for 24 hours and put its load directly on grid. After 24 hours, I had the same consumption of electricity i.e. 38KWh. This is not what I was expecting. What could I be doing wrong? Any suggestions from the group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
