QUOTE(ozak @ May 27 2019, 06:29 PM) Guess not a grid tie inverter. So it is isolated from the grid (TNB). if it is grid tied, excess energy could cause electricity bill goes higher, because some digital meter doesn't care the current flow, reverse flow of the energy to TNB doesn't reduce the consumption but increase itAlso can't fully utilize the panel to generate energy perday. Unless the load is 100% of the panel capacity. There is a hybrid inverter with limiter in Taobao is able to detect when excess energy occurs, it will reduce the solar panel output. |

But own use. If own consumption is higher than the panel supply, it will not feed back to TNB. But with panel additional supply, TNB meter is running slower.

It is a waste if doesn't fully uitlize the panel output. It is not a free energy with the upfront invest on it and have a lifetime. Got to find a way how to channel such energy to fully use it. I think yushin inverter is ok if the load is high. Depend on how the inverter program to do the switching supply between TNB and panel output. |

Hmm, if a solar system uses TNB as a backup power source, what should it be called?"Grid as backup"? |

Dunno in fits here or not...
This is the most beautiful active BMS for lithium storage battery I've seen. With screen output. User manual also the longest, 53 pages. I gonna have some fun when the cells arrives. controller module battery summary info individual cell info, also where which cell is undergoing balancing |

how much watt does a typical Malaysian double story link house uses? do we convert all those tv, fans, lights to DC?

You can check your electricity bill, it will state there. Even the solar companies will ask for a copy of your bill. If you are not staying there, just use your current bill and guesstimate. |

guys.. im totally not in this field (far from it).. but really amaze of what Solar power output today.. compare to last 10 years...
for offgrid how do we calculate 1. Solar panel (watt per panel) 2. number of kw inverter 3. how many AH Battery assume monthly energy consumption 300kWh roughly the cost for this setup around RM10-15K? |

QUOTE(birain @ Jun 26 2019, 05:14 PM) so we just follow what the bill printed and source the solar wattage accordingly? can we just count what appliances wattage we use and add it up? Not so easy to add all your appliances, because of a few factors:1) hours of usage may vary day to day, season to season 2) you might also change your appliances over the years 3) you might add new appliances too As for following your bill, it is far from perfect too, as it also depends on your usage that month, but you could get, say maybe 6 backdated bills and average out the usage. To estimate the solar power, you cannot buy the exact amount as shown on your bill, as the solar panels do not charge at 100%, I would say you need to add another 25% on top of the monthly bill. And solar panels will depreciate its power over the years, so your 5kw system could be only 3kw after 10 years. Are you planning on an off-grid system? If yes, you still need to find a big enough battery to store all this power. |

QUOTE(-oc-gassa @ Jun 27 2019, 10:08 AM) guys.. im totally not in this field (far from it).. but really amaze of what Solar power output today.. compare to last 10 years... for offgrid how do we calculate 1. Solar panel (watt per panel) You need to source the panels online, see how much they generate per panel, how big your roof size is, where is the location of the sun, how many hours of good sunlight per day can you get, what if it rains/cloudy on that day or that week, how are you getting backup power during those times? Then you need to count the number of appliances and your average electricity bill, add on the extra usage, solar panels also don't generate 100%, the conversion from AC to DC will lose some, so it's really complicated to go off grid but not impossible. 2. number of kw inverter This I think depends on your setup. One inverter versus multiple inverters, one for each panel. 3. how many AH Battery This also will need to count based on Question No.1 and it is by far the most expensive part of the system if you intend on using good batteries unless you know how to cobble together multiple small used batteries and build your own. In my experience, it was half the total amount. assume monthly energy consumption 300kWh This would give you an average of say 10kWh per day, with efficient sunlight around 3.5 hours to 4, that means you need at least a 3kW system, give and take some extras and what not, I would say you need 4kw and above. More if you plan on using it long term as the panels depreciate power with time. If 4kW system and you get a 250w panel, you need 16 panels. For battery, you need to be able to store at least 10-12kw or more (4kW x hours of sunlight) so that you can use it at night. roughly the cost for this setup around RM10-15K? 4 times that amount or maybe higher. Under the new government scheme, 4kW=RM26000 (without battery). It can be cheaper if you can buy your own solar panels, fixed it yourself, do all the cabling and inverters yourself but I don't think it will be within what you budgeted. |

Can balance 7s? English version ada? Mininum cell to connect to the battery control board is 3 so 7s would work. Yes, got english version. The chip with english firmware is on the way. My review after one week using it. Pro 1) Beautiful screen with detail info on each cell. 2) Has current shunt to calculate power in and out in AH. 3) Has many temperature probe. Not useful in Malaysia tho. 4) Can connect relay to cut off power 5) Can connect to multiple battery management board. 1 master board + many battery board (The board with lots of big resistors) 6) Has english version 7) Seller knows a lot about the product. Cons 1) The bluetooth module and screen driver not stable and half broke. Parts in on the way and cheap (rmb20). 2) Cannot do active balance. Only do balance by dissipating power. Wasted precious solar energy!!! 3) Lots of wire and assembly to so. Difficult for user without proper tooling. Now I am testing another product that can do active and passive balancing... |
