false! a cbm of battery goods is currently between 420k to 500k. go ask shippers now.
again u are misyarning, no sane person will use 32pcs 100ah cells to build a 200ah 48v battery bank when 200ah cell are readily available and a little cheaper. u might need glasses, because my 100ah cells is 36k, not 38k. if u have good reasoning, u should have known, that the bigger the capacity of cells, the lesser the price, thats why 100ah is 40$, 200ah 70$ while 302ah is 105$

until u import your meritsun and it lands naija, landing cost calculated, true capacity of the cell inside ascertained. then we can talk.

my cells not targetted for 48 system. simply carry your L and move bro. until u become a merisun distributor and market yours for under 1million, then we know u are serious. cheers

Shut your stupid mouth. The lithium batteries I currently use, i imported myself from china. I am trying to be cultured wit u but u want me to go all out. Stupid Nigerians who think they have to make 50% profit on imported goods. Where did you import a cbm of battery goods for 500k? I import for a living. If you want proper s, you ask instead of spewing stupidity. How much is an entire container of batteries that a cbm is 500k?

Wether 24v or 48v, your batteries are ridiculously priced and u are no better than the alaba dealers that you curse here everyday. At 24v, that is still over 600k for a 24v 200ah bank without balancing and a proper bms. Because u have ed a group to import a few pieces of batteries now, you have suddenly become an expert on battery goods. You want to place all your life problems on this few pieces of batteries you want to sell.

Simply ask for s so i show u how it is done.

slowpoke!!

Is that why a 48v 200ah bank(10kw) should cost 1.2 million Naira? Meritsun 48v 200ah cost $1500 or 850k on alibaba. Is your battery better than meritsun?

Greedy Nigerians!

Price looks attractive, have you bought the bank Bro? Just interested in your experience of it.....

If you knew the brand meritsun, you would not be spewing garbage about capacity. You think meritsun is on the same level with your So called grade A cells?

I have 40k. It does 11v to 16v

What is going on here?

So much knowledge here but I come again...

I'm not even sure where to start... But I'll narrate my full story and beg for help + guidance

Nepa in my area is pretty good. If it goes, not for more than 2hrs per day. Most days we get 24hrs. (But at almost N80 per kw, it's not affordable anymore! Hence the desire to go offgrid)

So the plan is to have two solar setups one for the house and the second for the workshop

Setup1(workshop): 8x 250 watt solar s with 3 kva hybrid inverter. Now, I just bought 10kw lipo battery (2x 24v 200ah) rebranded blue carbon batteries.
The bluecarbon batteries has been rebranded by a local supplier. The guy na cool guy, but Mehn, these batteries has been disappointing ooo. They cycle twice each night... How is that even possible? Even the lead acid I replaced it with performed better when new.

But I am trying to be objective so now, I'm looking for ways to install some kind of monitor to log all the required stats. (my load average is like 600W per hr) but I want to monitor the whole thing before I head back to confront the supplier. I have it fully on Nepa by now so the 2 batteries are always fully charged and I'm monitoring my loads over the period of 1 to 2 weeks. Then I'll switch off by and see what the performance is. I can post results here.

Questions: Can I install ive monitoring for how much is being generated, battery charge and load.
Also, the hybrid inverter is rebadged from Arnergy. Is there a way I can get the actual model number so I can see the features and how I can connect a raspberry pi for monitoring.


Setup 2: 16x 350w s with a 5kva GENNEX (Aspert) hybrid inverter. (No batteries yet)

This is yet to be installed as I'm still gathering money for batteries. The load this will be powering ranges from 15 to max 30kw per day. Looking to slowly build up to 30kwh battery bank, since a good portion of the loads will be during the day so will be covered by the s. Night loads is max 15kw.

Questions: Those bluecarbon batteries have been a let down... I don't even want to look at felicity as they seem to be in the same category with bluecarbon.
Is the "Jos Guy" the only person assembling batteries in Nigeria to a high quality? Are there any good brands to look at (aside from [$]Plyont£ch[/$] )


Looking forward to some guidance please

If you have Nepa for almost 24 hours, why are you then stressing about your consumption and analysis, just Load the Units and see how many you used in a month, use that to Size your Solar s to generate the same.. it's as simple as that.

Haba! What warrants all the invectives nau? Sofry sofry Bro.

No matter how emotional or justifiably angered we are about an issue, I believe producing counter arguments without use of curse words is what we should pursue here cos believe me, I didn't bother to finish reading your write up the moment I saw that your first phrase.

I got irritated that I just had to jump . Sorry if that struck a nerve.

JUO:
What is going on here?

You sef shock like say shey no be politics thread you enter.

Hello house, please I need help from experts in the house,

What is the difference In using a hybrid inverter as against using an inverter with an external charge controller?

To be more specific,
If I have to choose between a Victron quattro 5kVA, victron MPPT charge controller and a Growatt 5kVA hybrid inverter, what are the pros and cons, what are the benefits and differences?

I know the victron with the CC const much more than the Growatt.
Growatt also claims a power factor of 1.

Please people knowledgeable in this area should help.

Michaelondon53:
Please I need help. Whenever I order from Ali express do I have to pay to claim the goods... and where do I go collect the goods or is it always home delivery. Cos no shopping fee was included there.

It seems you stumbled into the wrong thread. This is the thread you want to check out.

https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/5266068/thread-only-aliexpress-shopper/842#5266068.26950

But if it is of any help, NIPOST bills you something they call "handling fees" for your deliveries. It ranges between 200 naira to 1k before your item is handed over to you.

Speedaf express (an alternative to NIPOST) however delivers without any extra charges including stress-free, fast delivery, reason many buyers pray that the good angel speedaf be the one to handle their shipment rather than the headache-laden services of NIPOST.

Wish you luck.

Is that why a 48v 200ah bank(10kw) should cost 1.2 million Naira? Meritsun 48v 200ah cost $1500 or 850k on alibaba. Is your battery better than meritsun?

Greedy Nigerians!

As at 2019 meritsun 10kwh cost over 2500 usd

zeestone99:

Please go on Alibaba.com, do a search, write meritsun directly and you will get a much better price.

NiyiOmoIyunade:
You need a GX device or Raspberry Pi or other PC running Venus OS. So the CCGX, VenusGX, CerboGX will all work.

The charge limit done via DVCC from a GX device is specific to battery charging - the GX will keep instructing the CCs how much power to allow to per time - just enough power to service loads and keep the battery amps where you want them to be.

Whereas if you set a charge limit at the CC, that is a global amps limit - you are simply speccing the max amps that the CC will allow to through itself for both battery charging and loads

Thanks a million, you just gave me the ginger to read it up and I think I will try the Rpi with Venus OS, I have a spare pi I can dedicate to this. Was almost going the cerbo route.

mennnn what are your rates? I need to spend an hour with you, your expose on grounding is top tier stuff.

truthbetold22:


Lithium batteries are not shipped via air. A cbm shipment via ocean freight isn’t more than 100k.

Bro, no offense meant in any way, please can you drop your plug's for the CBM shipment? Make I kukuma jump ship from my shipper. I love this your shipper's rate.

Thanks a lot.

Found your post very informative and educative.
Yea, you still have up to date collective memory of my entire setup. Swapping my felicity inverter and Morningstar Mppt for victron was my future designed plan, if victron will still maintain the lead then.

Currently, I'm working on how to control the existing system online and maintain/control the charging profile of the battery bank with my oversized pv.

Since Raspberry Pi could capture data from my felicity inverter via serial, Mppt via modbus T and BMV via vebus, then I've less worries as regards monitoring.
SKILLED HAND for the integration of central monitoring dashboard is what I may not get in Akwa Ibom State. Please, I may appreciate recommendations from the neighbouring states.
All I currently need is satisfaction of my investment.

what do you want to control, if it's just charging, your CC is more than sufficient to regulate the amps for your battery. If you are planning something more complicated we can work together to figure it out if you have time. I'm currently tinkering with home assistant(beginner level home automation stuff, but i'm focused more on monitoring my appliances power consumption) so I am having to spend time in the Rpi world. Happy to have a partner to share the suffering with

Abeg na... Try read my post before throwing out a reply.

I know my consumption. Its even right there in the post. I use roughly 10kw per day in the workshop and 30kw per day in the house.

My question was not how to measure my consumption boss... It was how to measure my pv generation and battery cycles for 1

And 2, recommendations for good and reliable sources of lipo batterily bank (aside from the jos guy)

I know my post is long, but abeg read am na... Or ignore it if its too long to read, understand and offer constructive or helpful answer

I can't ignore because it leaves the assumption that the question has been answered and resolved and that I was asking a stupid and obvious question which you replied with a smartass answer. Therefore preventing others from trying to read or offer their helpful answer to my question.

It had to be made clear that your answer was completely irrelevant and as a result of you not bothering to read and understand the post sufficiently.

Good evening house. I need a solar setup quote for the following load.

I might add extra loads in the future. But, the are all going to be light loads. Thanks in advance.

You will need the following:

1) 1kva inverter

2) At least 2 nos of 250w solar

3) A charge controller (if the inverter is not with an inbuilt charge controller)

4) A 12v 100ah battery (lithium or lead acid)

I don't know the cost of the above, but that list above should be able to help.

Cheers.
