I will advise you handover everything to God and move on...
Good name is better than riches and I believe God will provide funds for the replacement.
You may meet me via my s and let me see how I can assist.
Please, move on....

That will be hard to move on from when I spent over a million and didn’t enjoy it even for 2months, my money do not come from illegal means.
I will you

RickyM:


Someone said it’s Poche cells and they are not a good cells

Confirm yourself bro.
Open a little part and take pictures.

The pictures he posted earlier, shows they are pouch cells.
Most times, packs built from salvaged pouch cells are bad.

This is as far as I can go as I do not want to break the seal he wrapped around the battery because if I do then it will be obvious I opened it.

Feel it with your hands for a description.
Rectangular or cylindrical?
Partia or longl continuity.

RickyM:


Nothing of such installed, just circuit breaker

A system without earthing & SPD, is already a failed system!

Am sure he won't just move on, unless you want to play the good Samaritan part by giving him some money

Baba not entirely true sir.
What defines a failed system is way above this

dollarnaira:

It may not be entirely true, but it's the truth.

SPDs aid in mitigating excess surges, and where will the surges go to if no earthing was done?

Even if na 4ft or 6ft earth rod with 2.5mm wire linked to earth bus bar, damage will surely be reduced!

This looks more like lithium polymer judging from the attached pictures.

1. Are you charging the battery with external charge controller or from the inverter?

2. Does your inverter/charge controller has the correct charging profile for the battery (that's if my assumption of the battery being a lithium polymer is correct).

Try and confirm if my assumption is true by taking the voltage measurement of each cell and see if you'll get between 3.7 to 4.2v at full charge.

RickyM:


It is not lead acid sir….Attached picture of when I loose it out to see what’s really inside

dollarnaira:

Partia or longl continuity.

The cells are Poche cells, I strongly believe they are Li-ion/polymer not lifepo4. Some of the cells are probably bad.

I haven't used plycontech batteries before so I can't rate the 2, but the deye is currently performing beautifully.

LUKINGUY:
Can you rate the performance and durability of deye lithium batteries with Plycontech?

TechGeek777:

For something that cost me over a million and I couldn’t enjoy for even 2months?
Hell no, moving on to me only means I’m dead while living.
Can’t be at peace with myself knowing I let someone act smart on me

dollarnaira:

It’s not cylindrical, it’s a uniform plane rectangular battery

To a very large extent you are correct. However, I have NEVER experienced it.

In the bid to make a quick buck, some installers end up lying and delivering substandard products to their client making many assume RE is not ok. Just here to tell any newbie that RE works when done right.

Conversely, when some of us give cost to a quality installation clients will negotiate craze commot for the thing, or simply ignore you and say your price is too high.

I do installations on the side, and trust me if it was my daily hustle, hunger for don wound me and my family... meanwhile, some installers that don't do due diligence when installing are already counting hundreds of installations done YtD.

Hmmmm...to run freezers at night, 1m+? How was that supposed to be possible?

These are some of the issues...

RickyM:
Good morning and happy Sunday to y’all great people out here🫡🫡🫡
I want to narrate my horrible experience with a guy known as BlueCross in Eleyele Ibadan right opposite Anwar’u Islam Grammar School, it will be a quite long story but I will make it short as much as I can.
Met him around June 2023 on jiji and we talked about doing a solar solution that is capable of charging my gadgets only, although the post of his I saw on jiji states that the solution can run a TV for 5hrs and it’s the same solution I requested for. His guy came around and installed it but then with just my 33W charger, the solution will trip off after 2hrs of charging when the sun already went down of which I him and made him realize this isn’t what we agreed on but I let it slide.
In October, I saw his whatsapp status one day with 10kwh battery just built by him so I said I would love half the capacity of that which is 5kwh I believe as I want to make use of it to run freezer for ice block business.
He gave me quote and I said he should take the one I had before and then I’ll add funds to it which we both agreed.
He said he will deliver within two weeks max and I paid him but more than 2months after before he came to do the installation giving me excuses of not being able to get his hands on the inverter he wanted to use for me.
Eventually he came and do the installation and after charging the battery full then I plug in my 110W freezer alone from exactly 4:30pm to run the test and behold the battery trip off at exactly 11:46pm in the same night which means it only lasted 7hrs 16minutes.
I ed him and made him realize this can never be a 5kwh battery as there is no way it will only lasted for 7hrs as I expect nothing less than 30hrs at least from it.
Does anyone here has a police connect in that area or close by?
I do not mind spending my last kobo to make this guy realize the fraud that he is because I am frustrated by all of his doings.

As a professional Nigerian, I'll tell you one of the ways this would end if you involve the police.

Once the police hear the cost of the item is N1m+, they'll ask you to bring "ordinary N200k"to enable them open "investigation" on the matter.

The half-baked/crooked tech guy will be arrested and you'll be surprised to see him in his shop the next day. If you have an insider in the police you'll get to know he bailed himself with N20k

If you approach the police again, they'll ask for more funds to enable them use their "tactical team" to mobilize for more investigations that they realised the tech man is not working alone.

After back and forth, and more payment from you, the tech man may be persuaded to pay you some little money, say N100k as he was not solely to blame for the item not working.

At the end of the day you are still at a loss.

If you meet a lawyer he will ask for N50k mobilization fee to enable him start court proceedings that will ensure the tech man pays you N5m in damages.

Months after spending over N600k in court appearance fees and time wasted in going to court, you may be advised to settle out of court.

It's hard to get justice here. _{At least legally}

That's another thing. A friend, an installer gave someone a quote for ₦2.5m for some solar solutions, the client laughed at him and said if he has ₦2.5m that he would be out of the country where there is 24/7 power.

Crooked installers get the job most of the time as compromising on quality means nothing to them. Eg using a 40A PWM to run a 5kw PV set up. Lol

Lol, I when I gave a quote for an installation(ICT section) in a university, the VC and co told me it was expensive that I should reduce it. I told them no, that was the last time I heard from them. Only for them to call a big installer who did it 200k cheaper!

The 200k difference was for earthing the building and equipment.

Well, the transient current from the inverter damaged equipment worth over a million(this was when dollar cheap o, around ₦400/$).

The guy go call police oh .

Say the soldier dey do illegal duties

This sound very funny
Will going to his shop with army to beat him solve the problem?
Everybody may not be me but believe me it works for me. It has been working and it will continue to work for those that believe.
If someone deceives me and collect my hard earned money, he will and can never use it for something meaningful.
The law of Garma is real. God can never lie.
Though it's very painful, but we should learn to leave some battle for God.

He has money to buy 5kwh PV set-up but he didn't have money to buy a good Mppt CC. It's well!

Why buy an expensive MPPT while you can get a cheap PWM? Saves cost and gets the hack the job.

He ed a 10kwh battery and I said I want half of that and he gave me a quote for it and I paid. Afterwards I also paid for inverter and solar s differently so when I said over a million, that’s just for the battery alone.
I paid since last year and during this time even Felicity supposed 5kwh battery is at least able to supply 4.3kw and it’s sold below the price I paid for the DIY at that time before the dollar started rising and prices of things skyrocketed.
Regardless of the efficiency of the inverter and power loss due to heat, 4.3kw that Felicity battery supplied will run a 110W three start rated freezer for more than 24hrs without recharging so yes it’s nothing impossible if he did what we agreed on…Thanks!

The inverter has an inbuilt PWM charge controller rated 50A

Flames wasn't flaming . Thanks to Original Canadian solar s.

Bro, What is your total Battery capacity?

RickyM:


Got the battery pack delivered today…Haven’t tested, my inverter got fried by lightning and it’s been at Felicity company since Tuesday.

Is your inverter an all in one or a stand alone inverter? And can this lightning issue affect a standalone inverter?
