Say what? 20kva? Just one question, will all the ac be on 24hrs a day and what are their capacities? What else will be powered 24hrs? Is it totally off grid? Ok I lied about the one question part(he is without sin cast the first stone) I await your honest reply as usual.

Yes Sir. Just one answer, the ac will be on 24hrs a day and they are 1.8hp each (the so called LG Inverter ACs). Its a data center so the servers and the routers/switches will also be powered. It is not totally off grid. There is a 100kva Gen stand by and would kick in automatically if by any reason the battery is depleted.

. Thanks for the clarification, I would have been surprised if it was offgrid. Just out of curiosity sake, like how many panels would be needed for a daily consumption of 20kva?

Hmmm.
The mounts and the panels have been completed. Its only wiring and configuration of the SMAs that is remaining


Noted boss. When next you have a fresh job, I ll be glad to join you.
Meanwhile, with the arrangement shown in the pictures, what are the direction of those panels because I can see opposite directions. By standard it should face south.

With Nigeria already sunk in economic recession, the only way forward is self empowerment and cutting/elimination of bills. By learning to build your own solar panels, you can not only empower yourself but also you will be reducing the cost of your solar power installation. To get started, first of all, order your copy of "The Secret of Building Your Own Solar Panel" by Engr. A. O. Okafor sold for N3,000 only (contact Tony on 08122501196). Then read and digest the information therein. Thereafter, procure your materials (from Tony) needed to build your first high efficient monocrystalline solar panel rated 180W and begin the exciting adventure of building yours. Whether you are attempting this project as a student's project or as a measure to eliminate your headache on power epilepsy, hypertensive power bills and money-sucking generators, one thing is certain: there are no words to describe the feeling of generating your own Power!

That boiling and noise results in gassing. The funny smell that you perceive is from gassing

You can store the batteries in a sheltered outdoors or build a battery box that vents outside. If you want batteries that will last a long time and tolerate abuse the flooded batteries are your best bet

You are better off with distilled or purified water. No impurities. Your bottled water is not really as pure as you think. It can have calcium deposits and other impurities

Hello house my charge controller has stopped working.When connecting the cables from the solar panel it shows no current flows from the panel.But the current is flowing the meter shows 19volts flowing from the panel.I have tried to connect the battery directly from the solar panel and it has been recharged.What can be the problem.Other functions on the controller are working.

DIY spd. Using MOVs across positive vs negative, negative vs earth, earth vs positive. it's better than not having @ all. Then a proper single grounding
