bad market to NEPA.
up AE.

Very bad market for NEPA indeed. I have been partially off grid for more than a year. I use PHCN once in a while when the weather is bad and at nights when I need Aircon..

The PHCN technicians and marketers have been to my house three times in the last nine months to investigate me -they thought I bypassed the Meter. Before I went partially off grid, I buy about N20,000.00 worth of electricity every month (before the February tariff increase). But since October 2015 when I installed my solar gears, I have bought only N45,000.00 electricity from PHCN.

I have also not switched on generator in the last 14months.

Green forever!

I have the following never-used equipment (still in wraps) for inspection and immediate sale in Abuja. Brought them personally from the US but the new house has taken longer than expected to complete cry

1 x Magnum MS4348PE 4300W Pure Sine Power Inverter/Charger 48 Volt
1 x Magnum ME-ARC50 Advanced LCD Remote Control

Serious bidders only. Shoot me a personal message. Thanks!

chinko panels are known for over rating/miss leading labeling. d 350w mono may in fact be 150w. what is ur solar depot doing to protect us knowing we need it.
d other day my indianTata150w poly panel just cracked under 2 months of installation.
let's help AE with tested stuff. pls kindly let us know result of ur tests under nija weather conditions it will ur market.

Thank you for the nice words.

The battery equalizer ensures that the batteries are within 0.2v of one another. It is the only battery equalizer that I have installed that really works. Before I installed it, the differences between my battery voltages is as much as 2.5v at times. During the absorb charging stage, the weakest battery will quickly rise to 15.6v while the strongest is still at 13.1v. All the other batteries will have various values in between the two extremes. This rapid increase in voltage of the weakest battery raise the array average disproportionally and prevent the other batteries from charging properly. This issue was effectively resolved by the battery equalizer and my batteries are now always within 0.2v of one another.

The desulphator is used to desulphate my SMF AGM batteries. The AGM batteries are 4years old and are beginning to to show signs of old age.

For the Mercury 220AH batteries, I set absorb=57.8V, float=54.4V and equalize=62V. The Mercury MC5048E Inverter cannot handle battery voltages above 58V, so I was forced to set the absorb voltage slightly below that limit.

I always disconnect the Mercury batteries from the Inverter before triggering equalization from the Charge Controller.

The panel are connected in parrellel to the mppt charge controller, I use a 6mm cable, before I get 19amps or at worst 16amp steady. Now a days Na 13amp be the max if I am lucky. Wire can be hot from cc to battery close to the cc positive

I beg make una no forget me oh... Still need advise

Sometimes we need to watch how we talk, did you buy India Tata solar panels from solar depot Nigeria?

Has India now become China?

What you pay is what you get

The biggest solar company in the world is Chinese so you need to learn how things work and get the right information

People like you ask for quality and expect to buy them with your peanut

Solar Depot has a name and reputation, not had issues since buying from dem and I don't think if u have any issues with products they market, they cannot amicably resolve it with you.


NB: I have no personal interest in solar depot Nigeria, I am not related to OgunMoses and has never met him face to face.

Just a satisfied and realistic customer , also a Solar power system trader

good talk my brother, I just requested for panel test results so dat we be better educated about the product. If seller fumes when results are requested it means the product could be sub standard.
mind you requesting for domesticated test figures do not mean disputing goodwill of anyone or business.

if I request ur installation / configuration pix from you does dat mean am putting u to disrepute?

I think something went wrong somewhere but Tata panels are solid.
I have two that are still firing now 6yrs + 4months
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by DMerciful(m): 9:09pm On Dec 11, 2016
sometimes if panels are installed such that there is internal stress(surface not level) coupled with sun intensity overtime or no room for expansion cos of solid bolting, they may crack

well I just believe got one with factory defect. i got d poly panel @ 55k with similar ones going for 37k at that time, thinking it was superior.
u have a good point regarding expansion under hot sun. am planning to donate it to engineering students at a nearby polytechnic for their study who knows it may inspire some minds.
