wrong solar installation practice

[@dadakayode5517]

Great work @ Prostar technical You are right regarding offline or online inverter type but that does not determine if an inverter is pure sinewave or not. For clarity purpose, we have different categories of inverter namely: 1. By wave type. 2. By Off-grid/on-grid. 3. Offline or Online type. 4. Transformer type or Transformer less (SMPS) Type. 5. High frequencies or low frequencies type. 6. normal inverter or Hybrid inverter. 1. wave type, we have three different type namely: a. Square wave inverter. b. Modified sine wave inverter. 3. Pure sine wave inverter which is the best for efficiency and performance. Like the one he displayed is actually modified sine wave inverter. 2. On-grid type, this is type of inverter that you can use during the day and transfer all the unused power to your Grid and be compensated by local power utility company. while off-grid type is the opposite i.e you can transfer excess power to the grid. 3. Offline type, it can only be used by converting DC to AC only while online type can convert DC to AC as well as being connected to the grid to use the power from the grid when there is power supply and switched to the conversion of DC to AC only when there is no power from the grid. 4. Transformer type is the type that are very Bucky i.e. i mean very heavy due to the power transformer inside while the SMPS is called Transformer less but in real sense it has small in built transformer (fly back transformer, line output transformers or coupled inductors) popularly called choke transformer, 5, High frequencies type is the SMPS type of inverter that convert small frequencies of signal to a high frequencies of 25khz to 100+khz of pulse width modified wave, which will later be converted to the normal 50hz 220v pure sine wave inverter with the aid of filtering circuits. while the low frequencies type are the one that uses Bucky Power transformer in it design ...... 6. Normal inverter type is the one that just convert either solar with charge controller to AC power or Battery to AC power while the Hybrid type is the one that combined all the sources together to achieve the same objective uninterrupted power supply i.e it combine power from Grid + Battery + Solar (in-built charge controller) to give constant power either from Grid, Battery or Solar energy. i hope this short NOTE pass some information across. Thank you

That charge controller is a bad boy. One of the most reliable cheap pwm Chinese controller. I have been using it for years on my small system the past 5-6yrs and still going strong.

[@seunsonoiki6979]

If a pmw solar controller is well installed, with good parallel connections from solar panel, so that the volatile is just above the battery charging voltage, it would work fine.

[@Prostartechnical]

@seunsonoiki6979 That is while you need to calculate before installation

[@oluwoleodetola1626]

What type of battery are you using, please? Or have you changed the batteries during these 5 years?

[@Prostartechnical]

@oluwoleodetola1626 battery depends on the cost , standard battery luminous, Genus etc I mean for tubular battery

[@Ayo_xpression]

Thank you for this educative video, how good is that offline inverter? Some people call it sachet inverter

[@Lyquidmix]

I think those panels should be connected in series to increase the volts and joined to the others in parallel to increase the amps for better charging. I am not a solar guy, just an enthusiastic user

[@Prostartechnical]

Depends on the controller you are using

[@johnadiele878]

For the pwn its a no-no. You're better off taking it out.

[@GTdontDOthat]

ir will never work well bcos d small panel will drag d big panel wattage down.wat u are solving is d voltage but dat will drag d wattage down

[@xlgoldfish]

He needs an MPPT charge controller with large VOC so he can connect the whole solar panels in series as they are of different voltages and wattages.

[@Prostartechnical]

@@xlgoldfish thanks for your contribution

[@owolabitunjow9041]

very correct.... MPPT also does a true power conversion i.e the initial power entering it from the panels will be approximately equal to the power leaving the controller to charge the batteries. PWM controllers waste more of the energy.

[@michaelchane2593]

Hello 300watt panel are 24v while the 190v are 12v..there, you meed to connect the 190v on serious and parallet them with the 300watt panel...problem will be solved

[@Prostartechnical]

@@michaelchane2593 yes that is other solutions. Note in series voltage increase while the panel wattage remain constant and is using pwm controller. Which means the controller will be seeing 190watt against 300watt.

[@michaelchane2593]

@@Prostartechnical No in series, the amp remain constant while the volateg increase....the wattage is determine by the total number of panel there

[@Prostartechnical]

Yes you are right , I understand your explanation, pwm controller will be seeing the 189watt panel first. It Will work but it will limit what the solar panel will generate.

[@EDSG-d8w]

There is nothing like a 300w panel is 24v and 190w are 12v…u talking chicken food 😂 there is a 375w 12v panel

I like your caption, I'm sure the 300watts panels were connected in parallel afterward, doing so in series would not be as productive, for since it is a PWM controller you need more current to power the system effectively and charge the batteries efficiently @voltraenergy
