it's just once I had reason to repair a charge Controller epEver TRIRON4210N but was unlucky because among the burnt components were 2 spider ICs which most Nigerian technicians have difficulty changing even if they happen to find a replacement BUT repairers full Alaba and Arena @ oshodi.

I just would suggest you don't pay a dime till they're done with repairs. Dem fit use style wan collect money to go look for so so so part hence it's left for you to decide how to handle such

Not sure I get you though You could if you want to.

At end of the day, there are Pros and Cons to everything we do.

Issue with most Nigerians, the moment they've got your money (partly or in full), they make it obvious you're at their mercy.

I was referring to your post that seems to suggest that the only way to deal with them is to be there physically, I wanted to waybill the faulty items to them, they fix and they return. That is what I do for a lot of things.

Anyone knows where I can get a xantrex homaya board?


Can all these sachet inverters power equipment like pumps with high startup current?

oga even to be there in person sef, you have to repeatedly disturb them sometimes (if not most times). Let alone when not there in person. Chances of lots of stories go dey. Don't forget, na assumption I dey make Oooo.

Sachet inverters are more energy efficient BUT [very] fragile most of the times. Now using themm to power heavy appliances such as AC, Pumping machines, etc increases chances of it going bad.
Also chances of successful repairs could be slim also.

Bro I need the 550w jinko panels, can someone vouche for you here?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mvphenryeto5: 10:56am On Feb 17
Jefferyzz:
Buy single 540 or 550w jinko with the mppt CC then. Future upgrade will not stress u n ur pocket.
If ure using 12v it's cheap to av pwm CC with 190w panel than d 1 ure considering that if u don't plan to upgrade in near future.
That 300w(2) panel ure looking into might not even produce more than 400w max. N buy from people that advertise here eg trippletems, zeestones, justcallemmanuel etc u can easily call Dem out here if dey dont supply u original.

Can this panel be waywilled to the east without damage?

Hi All,

Since this recent issue with GasCos and GenCos, electricity supply has been pretty terrible, I now get around 5 to 6 hours of light. Luckily for me, I have an existing solar set up and I bought lithium batteries in October last year.

My existing set up is:
8 solar panels of 300w each
2.5kva, 24v inverter (it had an inbuilt solar charge controller which went bad and I had to get an external charge controller last year)
60A MPPT solar charge controller
2 100Ah 25.6v lithium ion batteries connected in series, which, if I am not mistaken, gives me about 5.12kwh of power (give or take efficiency losses)

Now to the load I put on it:
65 inch TCL TV
100w samsung inverter fridge (though I recently changed the compressor, so who knows if it is still consuming 100w)
An old 175w scanfrost deep freezer (always on, not sure it cycles on and off like the inverter fridge)
Lights
Fans (ceiling fans - I never even knew these consumed so much energy until this Nepa issue when I found out one fan consumes 75w,that's almost as much as my fridge!)

I am getting about 10-12 hours of power of mixed use. Two ceiling fans + fridge and freezer will run down the battery from 100% to 5% in about 8 hours based on my calculation/observation. This means I can't run both overnight, and so I pick and choose to ensure the battery power lasts till morning when the sun comes back up.

I have two questions/concerns:
1. Is this level of drain fair enough or do you think there could be a problem with my set-up?
2. How do I get to 12 hours of power with my major appliances (fridge and freezer) running constantly? Do I need to start thinking of inverter freezers (I guess technology has improved in recent years). Or will I need to get an additional battery?

Many thanks in advance and apologies if I have asked any questions for which the answers seem obvious - I have not really paid detailed attention to alternative energy until this year.

We have adviced people severally..lithium battery doesn't perform optimally in series. You are likely not charging the pack fully.

Discuss with the pack builder..send it back..let him convert it to a single 24v pack.

2ndly these estimates wont give u an accurate result. If u want accuracy..get a load meter/device.charge ur battery full.and measure the exact watthour drained from the pack...then can u be firmly sure if ur pack is behaving well or not

This doesn't make sense abeg. if you must buy solar panel, let the minimum be 200Watts abeg. Which one be 180 watts ?

Before you know it, you're already looking to upgrade and these things have very little reSale value.

Would even suggest you buy solar panels of minimum of 300watts per solar panel

Boss, I guess you should have checked the post of someone that suggested 180w pv and 40k cc first.
From his post, 40k cc is pwm and 200w and below is very compatible with it.
It's very wrong to use 300w with pwm cc.

Didn't know any of such.

Except when referenced, can't easily know what was suggested, and what's not.

My comment is geared towards making it known to him/her that it doesn't make much sense buying any solar panel less than 200 or 300 watts because sooner than later, they would see reasons for upgrade.

To make matters more interesting, resale value is poor except you lucky to run into someone who's naive enough to pay close to what you bought them.

Also, you easily can't mix them with solar panels of higher or different wattage except you want to cheat yourself.

It's very wrong to use 300w with pwm cc.
Says who. What's actually wrong, is using PWM on a Solar SetUp whose Battery Size and Solar Panel wattage is distant afar e.g let's assume you require a single 300W solar panel to charge a single 12v200AH battery BUT you instead connected more than 2pcs of 300Watts solar panel.
Or more clearly, you require 14-volts to recharge a 12-volts battery BUT you instead connected the battery to a solar panel whose output is about 20-volts or above. The PWM charge controller go just help you do simple maths of 20v - 14v = 6v. You see that 6-volts eh, which is what's left after taking the required 14-volts, PWM go throw way am in form of heat.

Heat sink plenty inside those charge controllers and they're not there for fancy.

If na me, If I don't have much funds, I would focus on acquiring more panels, manage it with any charge controller I already own, when i get money I go upgrade the charge controller and if I never own any charge controller, then I kukuma buy the required one even if na Tokunbo.

Should you already own any solar panel of wattage >= 300watts, building it up is only a matter of adding more panels of similar wattage even if it's from a different brand. Worse case scenerio, you upgrade your charge controller BUT should you own solar panel <= 200 watts, chances are, to upgrade, you would be forced to change them all except you're comfortable buying several more pcs of 180watts panels

Should said setUp be a 12-volts system, you would be forced to use fatter cables.

4 panels at @50 each cost 200k

Rather than buy 4pcs of 180watts panel, you could buy 2pcs or 3pcs of 310watts or 300watts solar panel
