It depends on brand

Some good brands of 1k that cost 120k still in the market

It's mercury a good inverter brand

Good morning Chief, please what set up do I need for the loads you listed below, a TV, two fans and lightings? like what should be my budget + installation? I reside in Lagos and I need this set up if cost is reasonable. Ikeja Electric don use my eye see shege this year, my consolation be say I dey go work from morning till night, it's weekends I see shege.

Solar setup is freaking expensive but it's worth every penny

For someone who get at least 12hours of power supply, it's advisable to run a system that will power their TV, some fans & lighting which will not
cost much money while they use other appliances on power grid. 12hrs power supply to a good freezer is enough to sustain it

Running entire household appliances on solar ain't cheap at all

why buy 500w toks s for 150k, 400w 130k, 250w s relabelled as 300w 70k. when u can get brand new jinko 550w from fouani for 161k toks wey u never know if it has been used for over 10yrs cool
Thanks. About to order for 4pcs 435w as I already have 24v cc, inverter and charger. BUT, everyone says 48v system is best so maybe I should just get the 550w(x2) instead? That way I will be future-proof, but will 2x550w pv work well with a 24v system(for now)?

Been using them for the longest times. I only buy them for my customers.

They have a service center in Wemabod Ikeja.

Check the max input for your charge controller input.

If your PV is far away from you charge controller then it is best to use higher voltage (or series connection of your PVs) since thicker cables would be very expensive.

All these is to minimize your I squared R losses.


The 48volts they are talking about is for your battery bank. With 48v your system would have less losses mainly then the inverter would be cooler since the higher the voltage the less the current.

Good evening bosses. Please is there an alternative to top balance new lifepo4 cells? Or how can I top balance without buying a bench dc charger as I cannot afford that for now.

If there is an alternative, I'll be very happy to hear it.

Please o does charging phone with charge controller affect the phone?

Does it spoil phone?

Any input or experience.

I'll just use the USB port and put cord.


The image attached is the type of charge controller.
Thanks

unless you buy an active balancer or trus ur bms to do the balancing u nor really get choice

Been charging with similar CC for 3 years.
Excellent for one phone connected.
With 2 phones, it simply shares the current to the 2 phones - slower charging.

Charge in series with your regular charger until battery is full. Remove charger and parallel your LiFePo4 batteries.

Get a cheap DC-DC adjustable converter and you are good to go. Use your regular 12v or 24v external charger as input. Add a small fan if the converter runs hot.

Can the balancer work as well as the traditional way? Also, do I use the batteries while the balancer is working or I let it do it's thing first before usage?

Do you mean when the highest charged battery Is full? And how does the converter work? Does it transfer charges from the highest to the lowest?

Also for the converter connection, is the inverter/external charger going to be connected directly to the converter or to the battery?

If you don't, have basic knowledge of DIY, you may need someone that does, for this.

Lemme still explain how this should work. To top balance batteries means to charge batteries in such a way that all the batteries are equally charged to the same voltage.

To make this happen, you'll have to connect all the cells in parallel and charge till the charging current goes to zero.

To connect this DC -DC converter, your charger is the input, and the output (after adjusting voltage to 3.4v) goes to the cells you want to balance.

Find attached the LiFePo4 cells being connected in parallel pending top balancing.

Please do not attempt any of this stuff by yourself if you don't have the basic knowledge of batteries connection and electricity.
