Thanks for your input, what battery capacity would you recommend with a 350w solar , that will work for at least 6hrs then

IYGEAL:


350W cannot adequately charge a battery that will run 250W load for 12 hours after sunset.

Valto:
@ojeysky, he sabi am wella, not based in Lagos though.

Thanks

@Ojeysky... abeg where you dey??

MontyNG:
Can anyone help me with the installation and configuration of WatchPower software... Preferably on a raspberry pi. I'm based in Lagos and we can negotiate payment.
My (hybrid) inverter has all the necessary data ports

I'm also open to better monitoring software to watch power if available

Once you connect the cable and start the windows based watchpower application should automatically detect the inverter. If your inverter has Bluetooth then you can use the watch power app for Android.
When I was using axpert I used solpiplog to retrieve data on the inverter. Solpiplog works fine on pi3+ above.

1.5kva 12v felicity inverter now available, #90,000. Call/WhatsApp us on 08168986461

The problem is that 350W needs to be increased if you are solely going to rely on it to charge a battery that will run 250W load for those hours.

Or you can try this project
https://github.com/ned-kelly/docker-voltronic-homeassistant.

But instead of having to deploy Home Assistant, just use MQTT to feed values into grafana.

I am interested in 2 units.

ojeysky:
A few R3 Basic DIY 6.5k for unit price and 6k for multiple. Can flash with tasmota before shipping for those interested

Barezzi:

That's fine, still available. Do reachout on WhatsApp/telegram

Ok nice. So I can get it integrated to Home Assistant. Then, I’ll be able to do things like switch on ACs if I’m over generating etc…

Awesome
Thanks

Nice one bro… will check this out too

I use sonoff and node-red to achieve that.

Certainly. I use it with HA to do the exact opposite. Turn off the AC when i'm undergenerating. Na shikini setup we still get.
lol.

Hello, pls, can I add 300w x2 s to the attached setup to increase my charging rate?

If Yes. Should connect each 300W s separately to charge controller, or I should connect same way as my 150W s?

Do you mean 4 150watts s according to your picture? Or 2 300watts s?

Penuelseun:

My picture is my current setup (which consist of 150 x6 s). What I meant was, I am thinking of adding 2 300watts s to enable faster charging.

How long does it take your present array system (of 900w) to charge you 2 X 200ah batteries to full capacity?

Also, why dont you change your PWM charge controller to MPPT for more efficient harvesting of sunlight? I am expecting 2 units of 60am MPPT Powmr next month. I intend to use one and sell off the other one at a good price. You can buzz me it you are interested.

I ve not put that to test though, we uaually ve power supply from grid for a whole week untouched. But they do carry out maintanace which might last for 2 to 4days

DURING THOSE DAYS, I USE MY GEN FOR JUST 2HRS BTW 7PM TO 9PM TO CHARGE MY BATTRIES (reason for additional s).



So far, I think my pwm CC is working fine for me becos I make use of 1 deep freezer and 1 refrigerator which is always ON from 10am to 3pm everyday. 1 55inch tv, home theater nd decoder which is usually ON nd 1 43inch tv nd decoder (only ON wen in bedroom), among other lesser loads.


My batteries has neva gone low with this setup.


MY REASON FOR ASKING OF ADDITIONAL S IS TO ELIMINATE THE 2HRS GENERATOR USAGE WHEN THERE IS NO POWER FROM GRID.

It is better you connect the new 300w s to a new charge controller for onward connection to the battery

Okay, tnks.

ojeysky:
I have got 2 brand new BMV 712 with temp sensor for grabs. 125k each

Q/A
Is this the victron BMV 712 with Bluetooth features?
Yes
Is the price negotiable?
No price is firm Sir/Ma
Does the price include shipping?
No it doesn't, but I can waybill to any part of the country at buyer's cost.

Still available

Please, I need some enlightenment of your present setup and equipment energy usage.
Your total solar watt is 900watts, what is the total energy draw from the batteries?
What is the average amp reading on the controller from your solar btw (30-50A)?
Can you please state the wattage of each gadgets.
If possible, the pictures of your batteries and solar charge controller.
This will guide me in my solar setup.

I think you have a problem of storage not charging.

Or is it that the batteries never got charged before 7pm?
How is your usage like during those day?

Oshomo12:

Yes, when there is no power from grid, the battery never got charged before 7pm because of my usage i. e fridge nd deep frezer(120watts nd 100watts respectively). reason I used Gen to charge the batteries for 2hrs on such occasions.

All these on 2 batteries
Sizes of the freezer and fridge? Are they inverter versions? How long have you been running the setup?

Good day all, Please anybody who know where i can get battery less hybrid inverter?

I’m looking to buy a 24V 7ah lipo battery.

Can anyone recommend?
