Hello Sir,

Which is the best Turbalur battery and price for this Inverter Set Up, as Lithium is on the highest side now..

- 7.5Kva Felicity Inverter
- 80ah Charge Controller
- 12 s of 300watts

I'll be glad if I can get any lead here.

Thanks in advance

It's splendid!

I use a 3.5kva 12v kartel inverter and 4 220AH tubular batteries I connected in parallel to make 880AH.

I power virtually every thing in the house including an lg inverter AC for most of the afternoons , an lg inverter fridge/freezer and a bona solar chest freezer.

I've been fully off grid for going to 6 years by May and I don't have any regrets at all.

The installation was done DIY with little touch by my electrician.
Wow that's good.
Can it power one AC from evening to morning?

4 *220 ah battery . Parallel is not a good idea sha,
24 volts or 36 volts is more efficient
Please explain more for the benefit of lay man like me.

Please explain more for the benefit of lay man like me.
12v inverter uses more current to achieve same power output as compared to 24v system and above.
More current causes heat and losses, therefore less efficiency.
You spend more in buying mppt, imagine buying a 150 amps mppt.
High current protection for such accessories cost more, so you end up spending more.
Any short circuit incident on DC side na die, Kabooom.

Summary 12v system should be limited to 1000watts load Max.

If I had seen you contribution, I wouldn't have bothered replying him.

To your worry. The truth is that I get a full charge (Float charge) even before 3pm on most days with the number of solar s I have.

Between 11am and 2pm, my generated wattage is like 900 averagely with current as high as 55 to 59A.

My inverter can get so hot up to 45 degrees that I worry at times.

All these I can pick on the epever screen monitor.

But hey, it has been so for close to 6 years now and I have not burnt anything yet.

I am totally off grid 100%

I envy you o.
I have 6 s 310 each but the can only generatw maximum of 30amps at peak hours.

I have the same setup as exactly like this except mine is just two batteries instead of 4 batteries, I install it last year January but recently the battery does not hold more power so by 11pm it will be down, my installer said i need to add more distilled water to the battery, and I am thinking of adding two more s to make it 10 and also add two more batteries, what do you advice?

Check batteries water level, what's your load?

That was more than 400% depreciation. When people come on Nairaland celebrating naira appreciation by by less than 0.001% it fill me with so much regret for the ignorant, or deliberately malicious people I have as country men.

Please, I read through to see if this question have been asked, surprisingly, it haven't.

Charging your inverter with PHCN light, won't it consume much units for those using prepaid?
It will!

Oh boy , I can’t the name o… but it’s tubular sha , it’s all the ones that they recharge the water. I’ve not had to recharge the water though,

Maybe because it only powers the freezer sha

Edited: I went to snap the battery and saw the name. But I don’t really think a brand matters with this type of tubular batteries sha.

Your battery require water top up.
Check the label pls

what model of epever controller do u use... the reason i asked is because you are on 12v and the highest 150v epever controller can only make use of 1250w of pv power and that is the 100a version.... i understand you are using 350w x8 pcs which in my own case translates to either 250w or 200w that is if they are tier 1 s...... i like keeping tins simple....

So this looks like the perfect thread for me

I want to install a 1.5kva inverter system just for household use. I need someone who can basically just give me a quote on what I need to get and I will pay for the service charge only.

Please I need you to give me a quote that has choices when it comes to battery and also the inverter system because these are the two key components...

N.b no solar s I'd be charging via phcn cus power is relatively ok here

If you can deal send me a message via signature

Hi
Please need your help.

I saw your post regarding bona freezer.
Pls I want to purchase one


Will one 100ah battery

200w
Power the freezer conveniently?





[color=#006600][/color]

I now have added a Bona solar freezer and its complete setup. Solar freezer works with only one battery but 3 solar s.

I bought an inverter to switch from the freezer to light when everything in the freezer is ice block but the inverter almost always broke down so I just removed it completely.

Leaving the freezer on the one battery alone , 2 years running now and everything for my freezer na ice block.

I am still on grid, but I only use Nepa for Washing Machine, Blender and Microwave. I outsource my ironing to dry cleaner.


I have never owned a Generator.

Thanks for your question.

I use 6 PCs of 350W
Canadian mono
crystalline solar s bought as second hand. Their efficiency has certainly dropped considering their age. They have never delivered above 1000W even at the sunniest of seasons.(I have been using them for 6 years now. Their daily average is 960W between 11am and 2pm).

My epever is actually rated 60A at 150V with a generated battery amperage of 45A at 10am, and 50 - 59A at the peak period I specified above.
I sometimes fear I may fry the charge controller one of these days because it gets so hot that I begin to doubt if the heat sink actually works. But hey, this is 6 years and counting!

Most 100A charge controller will take higher wattages than what you quoted above at 12v battery configuration. For a 12v battery configuration, a 100A Felicity mppt charge controller can handle PV wattage of 1375W, and 2750W for a 24v battery assembly.

Brand new s from reputable companies are surely better.

With the deluge of low quality Chinese s in the market, you can't guarantee their efficiency .

New s from Renogy, Canadian Solar ,Trina Solar, Jinko Solar, LONGi Solar , JA Solar etc are some of the best in quality and true to their ascribed specifications.

The used s are not at 100% of their rated factory efficiency however their low cost is the "pull factor" and are surprisingly still better than some low quality Chinese brand new s.
