In
recent years, as the world importance for
the photovoltaic industry, solar power systems have been widely
utilized in the life. But what should happen to such a
high-tech thing? The following Future Green Technology Co., Ltd.
summarized the common faults and solutions for photovoltaic
power generation systems for everyone, and hopes to help everyone.
Frequently asked questions when debuggingoff-grid
systems:
First, the inverter LCD
is not displayed
Reason analysis:
(1)
The battery voltage is not enough. When the battery is just shipped from
the factory, it is usually fully charged, but if the battery is not used for a
long time, it will be slowly discharged (self-discharge). Off-grid system voltages
are 12V, 24V, 48V, 96V, etc. Some applications require
multiple batteries in series to meet the system voltage. If the connection
cable is not done well, the battery voltage will be insufficient.
(2)
The battery terminals are reversed. The battery terminals have positive
and negative poles, generally red for the positive pole and black for the
negative pole.
(3)
The DC switch is not closed or the switch is faulty.
Solution:
(1)
If the battery voltage is not enough, the system can't work, the solar energy
can't charge the battery, go to another place to charge the battery to more
than 30%.
(2) If
the problem is the line pressure profile measurements of various electrical battery
voltage with a multi-meter. When the voltage is normal, the
total voltage is the sum of the voltages of each battery. If
there is no voltage, check whether the DC switch, terminal block, cable
connector, etc. are normal.
(3)
If the battery voltage is normal, the wiring is normal, the switch is also
turned on, and the inverter is still not displayed, it may be that the inverter
has failed, and the manufacturer should be notified for maintenance.
Second, the battery cannot be charged
Possible reasons:
( 1 )
Component reasons: The component voltage is not enough, the sunlight is low,
and the components and DC cable are not well wired.
( 2 )
The battery circuit wiring is not good.
( 3 )
The battery is fully charged and reaches the highest voltage.
Solution:
( 1 )
Check whether the DC switch, terminal block, cable connector, component,
battery, etc. are normal. If there are multiple components, separate the
tests separately.
( 2 )
When the battery reaches full charge , it can't be recharged, but the
voltage is different when different batteries are fully charged. For example,
the battery with rated voltage is 12V. When the battery is fully charged,
the voltage is between 12.8~13.5V. The specific gravity of the
electrolyte when the battery is fully charged. The maximum pressure
limit should be adjusted according to the model of the battery.
(3) Input
Overcurrent: battery charging current is generally 0.1C-0.2C, the
maximum does not exceed 0.3C, and for example, a lead-acid
battery section 12V200AH, the charging current is
generally between 20A to 40A, the maximum should not
exceed 60A. Assembly to the power controller and the power mate.
( 4 )
Input overvoltage: The input voltage of the component is too high, check the
voltage of the panel. If it is high, the possible reason is that the number of
strings in the panel is too large, and the number of strings in the panel
is reduced.
Third, the inverter shows overload or cannot start
Possible reason:
( 1 )
Inverter overload: The inverter overload exceeds the time range, the load power
exceeds the maximum value, and the load is adjusted.
( 2 )
Battery overload: The discharge current is generally 0.2C-0.3C , the
maximum does not exceed 0.5C , 1 section 12V200AH lead-acid
battery, the maximum output power does not exceed 2400W , different
manufacturers, different models, the specific values are different .
(3) The
load is a load elevator or the like can not be directly connected to the output
of the inverter, because the elevator during lowering, reverse the motor
will produce a counter electromotive force when entering the
inverter, the inverter is damaged. If an off-grid system is necessary,
it is recommended to add a frequency converter between the inverter and the
elevator motor.
( 4 )
Inductive load starting power is too large.
Solution:
The
rated power of the load is lower than the inverter power, and the peak power of
the load cannot be greater than 1.5 times the rated power of the
inverter.
Battery common problems:
Short circuit phenomenon and cause:
The
short circuit of the lead-acid battery refers to the connection of the positive
and negative electrodes inside the lead-acid battery. The short circuit
phenomenon of lead-acid batteries is mainly manifested in the following
aspects:
The
open circuit voltage is low and the closed circuit voltage (discharge) quickly
reaches the termination voltage. When a large current is discharged, the
terminal voltage drops rapidly to zero. When the circuit is open, the
electrolyte density is very low, and the electrolyte may freeze in a low
temperature environment. When charging, the voltage rises very slowly and
remains low (sometimes reduced to zero). When charging, the
temperature of the electrolyte rises very quickly. When charging, the
electrolyte density rises slowly or almost unchanged. Do not take
bubbles or gas when charging.
