## Solar System Basics
A solar power system may include panels, an inverter, a compatible battery, a charge controller where required, mounting hardware and electrical protection. The right combination depends on energy use, installation conditions and equipment compatibility. Battery voltage must match the inverter’s supported battery voltage, and power and energy ratings are different measurements. Check the exact product manuals and have electrical work performed by a qualified professional. Do not give model-specific settings or safety-critical instructions without the relevant manufacturer information.

Lebanon is 220 V. Then a rule of thumb: monthly kWh ÷ 30 = daily use. Then which battery fits which daily use (e.g. up to 4 kWh → 5 kWh battery, 4–7 → 8 kWh, above that → 15 kWh), and typical fridge and washing-machine use. With that, it answers “150 kWh a month → 5 kWh battery, $1,000” directly instead of searching the internet.

## Choosing Solar Products
The right products depend on what you want to power, how much energy you use, your installation conditions and compatibility between components. Panels generate electricity; an inverter converts power for compatible loads; a battery stores energy; and a charge controller manages panel-to-battery charging where required. Not every system uses the same components or configuration.

When comparing products, check the exact model labels, rated power and energy, supported battery voltage, operating limits and manufacturer compatibility guidance. Power and stored energy are different measurements. The battery size labels supplied by Solar are shown as provided; confirm their units and exact model with support before comparing or ordering. These are general selection points, not a product-specific recommendation.

## Requesting a Quote
Contact support with the product or system you are considering to ask about the exact model, current price and availability. For a more useful product discussion, share what you want to power and any existing inverter or battery model details you have. If you do not know the technical details, send a photo of the equipment label if available. Support can check product information and compatibility questions; confirm all quoted details before placing an order.

## Installation and Service
Solar’s installation, repair and maintenance services have not been confirmed. Contact support to ask whether assistance is available for your location and project. Product selection and installation should follow the equipment manufacturers’ instructions and applicable requirements. Electrical work should be handled by a qualified professional. Do not rely on general product information as a substitute for model-specific instructions.

## Product Care and Safety
Use and maintain products according to the exact manufacturer manuals and safety labels. Before connecting or changing equipment, confirm that the models and electrical ratings are compatible. Do not bypass battery protection, alter BMS limits, or improvise wiring or communication connections. Stop and seek qualified help if equipment is damaged, unusually hot, emitting an unusual smell, or displaying a serious alarm. For product-specific troubleshooting, contact support with the model details and any displayed alarms.

Frequently asked questions:
Q: What is the difference between 24V and 48V batteries?
A: A 24V battery system operates at a lower nominal voltage, while a 48V battery system operates at approximately twice the voltage. The inverter must be compatible with the battery voltage.
Q: Can I connect a 24V battery to a 48V inverter?
A: No. The battery voltage must match the inverter's supported battery voltage. Do not connect a 24V battery to an inverter designed for a 48V battery unless the inverter specifically supports that configuration.
Q: What Bulk/Absorption voltage should I use for a 48V LiFePO₄ battery?
A: For a typical 48V 16S LiFePO₄ battery, a common charging range is approximately 56.8V to 57.6V. The exact value must follow the battery manufacturer's specification.
Q: Can I set Bulk to 57.6V on a 48V battery?
A: 57.6V is a common maximum charging setting for a 16S LiFePO₄ battery because it equals 3.6V per cell. However, use 57.6V only if the specific battery model permits it.
Q: What Float voltage should I use for a 48V LiFePO₄ battery?
A: A typical starting range is approximately 54.0V to 54.4V. Some lithium batteries require a lower float voltage or recommend disabling float charging. Follow the battery manufacturer's specification.
Q: What Bulk/Absorption voltage should I use for a 24V LiFePO₄ battery?
A: For a typical 24V 8S LiFePO₄ battery, a common charging range is approximately 28.4V to 28.8V. The exact setting depends on the battery model.
Q: What Float voltage should I use for a 24V LiFePO₄ battery?
A: A typical range is approximately 27.0V to 27.2V, but the battery manufacturer's recommended setting should always take priority.
Q: Should Equalization be enabled for a lithium battery?
A: Normally no. Equalization is generally intended for lead-acid batteries and should be disabled for LiFePO₄ unless the battery manufacturer specifically requires it.
Q: Should temperature compensation be enabled?
A: Normally no for LiFePO₄ batteries. Lithium batteries use BMS temperature protection. Follow the manufacturer's specifications.
Q: What battery type should I select on my inverter?
A: If the inverter supports the battery's BMS protocol, select the appropriate lithium/BMS battery profile. If communication is unavailable, use a custom/user-defined lithium profile based on the battery manufacturer's voltage and current specifications.
Q: Can I use AGM or GEL settings for a lithium battery?
A: It is not recommended. Use the appropriate lithium or custom battery profile and the manufacturer's recommended charging parameters.
Q: What is BMS communication?
A: BMS communication allows the battery and inverter to exchange information such as battery voltage, SOC, temperature, charging limits, discharging limits, alarms and protection status.
Q: Does the battery need BMS communication to work?
A: Not always. Some systems can operate using voltage-based settings without communication. However, when the battery and inverter are compatible, BMS communication is generally preferred.
Q: Should I use CAN or RS485?
A: Use the communication method specified by the battery and inverter manufacturers. Do not select CAN or RS485 based only on the connector type.
Q: Can I use any RJ45 cable for BMS communication?
A: No. An RJ45 connector does not guarantee that two devices use the same communication protocol or pinout. Always use the correct cable and pinout specified for the battery and inverter combination.
Q: Why is my inverter showing a BMS communication error?
A: Check that the correct communication port, cable, pinout, protocol, baud rate and inverter battery profile are being used. For multiple batteries, also check the master/slave configuration and communication addresses.
Q: Why does my inverter show 0% or 100% battery SOC incorrectly?
A: This can happen when BMS communication is not configured correctly. Check the CAN/RS485 connection, communication protocol and inverter battery profile.
Q: Can I connect multiple batteries in parallel?
A: Only if the specific battery model supports parallel operation. The batteries should normally be compatible models with the correct communication and protection configuration.
Q: Can I mix different battery brands in parallel?
A: Mixing different brands or models is generally not recommended unless the manufacturers specifically confirm compatibility.
Q: Can I connect an old battery with a new battery?
A: Do not connect batteries of different ages or conditions without confirming compatibility with the manufacturer. Differences in voltage, SOC, internal resistance and BMS configuration can cause unequal current sharing.
Q: How many batteries can I connect in parallel?
A: The maximum number depends on the battery BMS, battery model, inverter and manufacturer's specifications. Please provide the battery and inverter models before determining the maximum number.
Q: Why is my battery not reaching 100%?
A: Possible causes include incorrect charging voltage, insufficient solar power, heavy loads during charging, BMS charge limitations, cell imbalance, temperature protection or BMS communication problems.
Q: Why does the battery stop charging before reaching 100%?
A: The BMS may limit or stop charging because a cell has reached its voltage limit, the battery temperature is outside the permitted range, charging current is too high, or cell imbalance exists.
Q: Should I increase the charging voltage if the battery does not reach 100%?
A: No. Do not increase the charging voltage beyond the manufacturer's specification. First check the BMS status, cell voltages, charging current, battery temperature and inverter settings.
Q: Why does my battery suddenly stop charging?
A: The BMS may have activated protection because of high cell voltage, low/high temperature, excessive charging current, cell imbalance or another protection condition. Check the BMS alarm/event history.
Q: Why did my battery suddenly shut down?
A: Possible causes include low battery voltage, low-cell-voltage protection, excessive discharge current, short circuit, temperature protection or another BMS protection event.
Q: What should I do if the inverter shows Low Battery?
A: Reduce heavy loads and check the battery voltage, SOC and BMS status. If available, check individual cell voltages and BMS alarms. Do not repeatedly restart the battery without identifying the cause.
Q: What does BMS Over Voltage mean?
A: It means the BMS detected a cell or battery voltage above its permitted limit. Possible causes include excessive charging voltage, cell imbalance or an incorrect inverter charging setting.
Q: What does BMS Under Voltage mean?
A: It means the battery or one of its cells has reached a voltage below the permitted limit. Possible causes include deep discharge, excessive load, cell imbalance or a BMS protection event.
Q: What does BMS Over Current mean?
A: It means the battery current exceeded the BMS permitted limit. Possible causes include excessive inverter load, startup surge, short circuit or an incorrect battery/inverter configuration.
Q: What does BMS High Temperature mean?
A: The battery temperature has exceeded its permitted operating range. Reduce or stop charging/discharging as appropriate and check the battery environment, ventilation and load.
Q: Why does the battery voltage drop when I turn on a large load?
A: Voltage naturally drops under load because of the battery's internal resistance, cables, BMS components, temperature and battery condition. A temporary voltage drop does not necessarily indicate a defective battery.
Q: How much current does a 5kW inverter draw from a 48V battery?
A: Approximately 104A at 48V before considering inverter losses. Actual battery current can be higher because battery voltage changes and the inverter is not 100% efficient.
Q: Does a 10kWh battery support a 10kW inverter?
A: Not necessarily. kWh represents stored energy while kW represents power. The battery BMS and cells must also support the required continuous and peak current.
Q: What cable size should I use between the battery and inverter?
A: Cable size depends on battery voltage, inverter power, maximum battery current, cable length, installation conditions and allowable voltage drop. Do not select cable size based only on battery capacity.
Q: Why is my battery charging slowly?
A: Possible causes include limited solar power, inverter charging-current settings, BMS charging limits, battery temperature, high loads operating at the same time, or insufficient PV production.
Q: Why is my battery discharging quickly?
A: Check the actual loads, inverter efficiency, battery SOC, battery capacity, BMS limits and whether high-power appliances are operating. Battery runtime depends on actual load power, not only the battery's kWh rating.
Q: Can I charge the battery from both solar and the grid at the same time?
A: This depends on the inverter configuration. If the inverter supports simultaneous charging sources, it can be configured according to the manufacturer's specifications.
Q: Can I charge the battery directly from solar panels?
A: The solar panels must normally connect through a compatible MPPT charge controller or hybrid inverter. Do not connect PV panels directly to the battery unless the equipment is specifically designed for this purpose.
Q: What information should I provide when asking for battery settings?
A: Please provide the battery model, battery voltage, battery capacity, number of batteries, inverter brand and model, BMS communication type, current inverter settings and any BMS/inverter alarm.
Q: What information should I provide if my BMS is not communicating with the inverter?
A: Provide the battery model, inverter model, BMS communication type (CAN or RS485), communication cable, battery DIP/address settings, inverter battery profile and a photo of the battery and inverter communication ports if available.
Q: What information should I provide when the battery shuts down?
A: Provide the battery model, inverter model, battery voltage, SOC, BMS alarm/protection message, inverter alarm message and the load running when the shutdown occurred.
Q: Can I change the battery BMS settings myself?
A: Do not change BMS protection limits unless you know the exact battery/BMS specification and have authorization from the manufacturer or qualified technician. Incorrect BMS settings can cause battery damage or unsafe operation.
Q: Can I bypass the BMS?
A: No. Do not bypass, disable or modify BMS protection as a troubleshooting method.
Q: What should the support agent do if it does not know the exact battery model?
A: The agent should ask for the battery model and label information before giving model-specific voltage, current, communication or BMS settings. It should provide general values only when clearly identified as typical values and should never invent manufacturer specifications.
Q: What should the support agent do if the customer asks for a CAN or RS485 pinout?
A: The agent should first identify the exact battery and inverter models. It must not guess the pinout because different manufacturers can use different RJ45 pin assignments.
Q: What should the support agent do if the customer asks for a charging voltage?
A: First identify the battery model, voltage (24V or 48V), inverter model and whether BMS communication is being used. Then use the manufacturer's documented settings. If the exact specification is unavailable, clearly state that the value is a typical starting point rather than a guaranteed manufacturer setting.
Q: What are the most important details to collect from a customer before troubleshooting?
A: Collect: battery model, 24V or 48V voltage, battery capacity in kWh, number of batteries, inverter brand and model, BMS communication type, battery SOC, battery voltage, inverter settings, BMS alarm and inverter alarm.
