HeavenlyBang:


I have the 580w. Three of them in series and get ~146v

So you should be getting around 47v from yours typically.

Averagely? That's great!! Are yours facing 0°south as well?

FEGEITOK:


I have seen people keep it by the frontage if it is a storey building.

Seen someone whose own was installed by or on the the fence here.

That may also be an option.

I pray you move to a better place

I'll consider the fence as well. Though, we have tall buildings around the house. Thank you.

Due to roof constraints, west.

what make of s are this and what wattage

ask4bk:

The s are even too much. Every day before 10:30am battery is fully charged from what was used at night. Even yesterday when there was no strong sun but cloud, it was giving 2.4kwh at 9am

Good afternoon experts in the house please I have the following solar set up and I just noticed my inverter hardly charge when during the day when there is sun. However, holds charge well when charged with nepa.

10 pcs 300w s
4kva microtek inverter (transformer based)
60A charge controller sunfield

Below is what’s coming from the controller 5A and the highest I’ve gotten recently is 10.5A

Danibestguy:

There's barely space for walking. No space at all for the port. Only choice is the roof.

Do a fence mount. Just make sure shadow is not cast over it during the day

Are the s Canadian solar?
How did the installer connect them?
What's their rough azimuth value, I mean their elevation and orientation?
Any shading on them?

Has anybody here used Cworth 4kw hybrid inverter? Does it have issues charging an LFP battery from grid?

I installed one recently and noticed it charges from grid. However, if there is supply interruption and it is restored the battery will refuse to charge except the inverter is shutdown and restarted. 🤔

Any experiences or opinions is welcome

Please house, who have an idea or for fixing this lithium battery charger in Lagos? It's urgent!!!

Have no idea. But the only thing I can add here is to be wary of C-worth products. So many issues with their batteries. Now hearing this with their inverter means they ain't worth the savings you make when going for their products.

odimbannamdi:


How do you mean by Off-grid in this instance?

How did you determine that 4 s of the 615w (totally 2,460w) will take him offgrid on an average daily usage of 7kwh?

So in Pictures, Battery started at 10% due to bad weather from previous day, but got full at 12 noon today. Similar set up..

I am Team Enjoy your LFP Batteries today when they have the Capacity...

Loneley:
Will do when I get home, thanks.

Still, it doesn't matter how long it charges full from the s or public power, like for example, last Sunday, there was light throughout.

Yet, once they took the light, battery indicator immediately dropped by almost half.

Hi bro what's your honest review about gsr battery

Bro,

It's been over 18 months, and I can't say I've had anything to complain about.

Turned out my observation the other time revolved around its "floating voltage" or so.

How many hours of useful sunlight do you get per day?
Mine will most likely be facing 53° southwest coz of the same restraint. Hope it's good?

Pls link me with the supplier
I need 2
Please reach me on WhatsApp if you don't mind
My digit is in my siggy

Landlord said no. I might just have to use just that one.

I get about 3.5h.

Enough for my needs.

Sad

Sterling Bank's solar s are like wall cladding all over the building.

You need to plan to change accommodation, the restrictive covenants are too much

Ok

Jinko straight from fouani, so I'm sure it's original. 555w
Many fake jinkos in the market

"I'm seeking advice on upgrading my mother's solar power setup on a limited budget. She lives in an area with an unreliable power supply. Currently, she has 3 × 100W solar s, a 220Ah tubular battery, and a 1kVA inverter that needs repairs. Due to the worsening power situation, I'm considering upgrading to a 2kVA Sako hybrid inverter and replacing the existing s with 3 × 550W s while reusing the 220Ah battery.
Does this approach seem reasonable given the budget constraints?

Trippledots:

The brand name of the solar is Sunfield

Danibestguy:

U can still plead with him to allow u mount 2 with the caveat that u wud be responsible for any roof damage. Had same agreement with my landlord before he allowed me set the s on the roof. Ensure u now get a good installer who wud not damage the roof

As u no mention budget, ow do we know its constrained 😁😁😁. You are on the right path. However depending on her daily loads, u cud get away wit 2

E11 error on my PWM controller.

I know that this indicates that the battery is low. But even though I keep charging the battery, this error keeps popping up. Pls what do I do?

Battery could be bad or controller has developed a fault.

mctfopt:

Oh interesting. It’s a LifePO4 battery and I have changed the “battery type” settings from “5-3.2” to “4-3.2” I.e for a LifePo4 battery, and right now the error is gone. But I guess I have done this b4 and the error managed to come back then. I am still novice to Solar anyways.

If this fault is from the PWM controller or battery I can’t really tell too.

Glad you got it figured

The budget is approximately ₦650,000, and the goal is to power a setup that includes a deep freezer (60W with a starting power of around 120W), a TV (130W), and rechargeable fans (60W when charging and 15W during use). During the day, the system should charging the fans and running the deep freezer, while in the evening, it should power around 10 LED lights (5W each, totaling 50W), the TV, and the fans when in use, the water pumping machine will be used only when there is power from the main supply.

Please is anyone here using a solar water pump or have installed one. I am looking at installing one in an area with no light to pump water, but i can't find much information online.

Compared to setting up a small inverter system to pump the water, which will be cheaper if one is working on a budget?

What information do you seek?

Both options has its advantages
