earthrealm: I disagree. As much as you have very good points about these pre-made All in One setups quality wise, completely dismissing them is disingenuous. And I'm not surprised, I've read people dismiss Tesla Powerwall the same way on this thread. Are you also going to claim Tesla Powerwall is crap tier 3 components? A lot of posters here are either technicians, businessmen dealing in inverter products or just savvy DIY folks who have an interest in the technology. So your views are understandable  But you are in the extreme minority. .000000000000000000000000000001 of the population. The average person does not have the time, or wherewithal for all this things. The only solution for them is this pre-made setups. And the only way solar/inverter will become mainstream is through these all in ones. 8 Likes |

Guys I am conducting an experiment - feeding the charger output of a Fangpusun BlueSolar MPPT into the input of the Axpert's weaker MPPT (to take advantage of the superior MPPT algorithm and also have the monitoring of the axpert). The BlueSolar thinks it's feeding 60V into a battery, while the Axpert thinks it's getting 60V from panels. Will update on how it goes. 2 Likes |

Most times these all in one packages are not durable and due to complexity a small failure of a component can render the entire unit useless. Remember those all in one DVD, TV, radio set,touchlight? They don't last4llerbuntu: 1 Like |

realpoacher: earthrealm: 4llerbuntu: DMerciful: These are all fair views, IMHO. The other way to look at it though, is: Will a service provider/DIY'er on here be ready to provide an equivalent traditional 1.5KW system, installed with local warranty, for the going Naira equivalent of the ad-offered USD1,300-2,000 or thereabout?

Oga Sinistrian. Say we agree that the Fangpusun Blue Solar has the superior MPPT algorithm, you can only get worse results by feeding the superior DC output of the Fangpusun into a inferior DC Buck Converter (essentially what the Axpert is in this scenario). The Axpert will not suddenly become wonderful because it is receiving input from a good MPPT CC - your solar panels are already an excellent DC power source and I see only subpar results as the outcome of this experiment because per the laws of physics you won't be able to create additional power out of nothing - you can only convert from one form to another and there will always be conversion losses even in the best of circumstances. While you can feed other DC sources into an MPPT CC, they are optimised to work with solar panels as the DC input and not necessarily any and every other DC source. You need to be careful also not to damage the Blue Solar or Axpert as they present a variable and unnatural load profle to each other while attempting to do their work.. You just might release the magic smoke from your precious equipment and end this experiment in an ugly manner. Just connect the output of the FangPusun Blue Solar to your batteries per the original design and you should be good. sinistrian: 1 Like |

Good day my people... Viva FTA. Guys this is my battery and the charger information.... Pls can I get a minimal solar setup to charge this.... Our transformer don blow. Please help me mention the gurus in the house. Thanks. My Batteries are 40ah...The real problem is getting a CC that can give the same output as the Charger. Thank you CC Saipro

Lady Solar paid an unscheduled visit to Abuja today. My 4.5KW Chinco Solar Array harvested 20.9KwH today. That is an efficiency of 4.644kWh/kW!!!! See live data here: https://pvoutput.org/list.jsp?userid=46221 3 Likes

NiyiOmoIyunade: You're right, performance was much worse. Max power pulled from the panels today was 950W even when total instantaneous load was 1140W. NiyiOmoIyunade:No blue smoke yet, but I have disconnected them now. I have to say though, the annoying up-and-down hunting for MPPT was not there today. I need to find a way to get my realtime PV data from the BlueSolar now and forget the Axpert's charge controller. 1 Like

4llerbuntu: I slightly disagree with some of your assertions. Yes it is true, many of us here are in the minority and the average user in Nigeria just want something that just works without caring about the tech involved. The biggest challenge facing the growth of renewable energy in Nigeria inspite of our serious energy deficiency is ignorance. Our educational system has failed to teach energy efficiency something which should be part of basic education, the result is a public that knows next to nothing about what energy is, and how it works.. we should not be celebrating this ignorance we should be killing it which is what the forum is about.. many a novice came here without a know about solar but today have become gurus. However you need to be ready to learn. There are no short cuts in life you either pay the price to learn or pay the price of ignorance. One solar turnkey solutions. I believe that this is the future for consumer grade solar products. Integrated all on one system that a consumer can just installed and run with little fuss.. maintenance would be handled by the solar company.. I predict a MTN LUMOS kind on .contract on a grandier scale. Unfortunately we are not at that future yet. Most of the all in one product out there are still not value for money when you start to scale. Anything above 300w and you might be better off going the traditional way. 2 Likes |

mukhcech:The question u asked is a little bit not complete. The battery capacity(ah) is how many( d one ve seen should be around 40ah or so), not clear from u picture. Secondly, if u need to go solar with it; u will need to disassemble those cells from the casing. I don't know how good is the BSM inside it. The one I ve worked with does not balance the cells well. Lastly, what is ur level of knowledge on this solar stuff, on a scale of 1-10? Note: can one still get those batteries? |
| Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mukhcech(m): 12:57pm On Mar 04, 2018 |
Oshomo12: I will say 6 on a scale of 1-10. The batteries capacity is 40ah....Disassembling the battery is what I have no experience on. After Disassemble, Do I still need the BSM? |

| Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by NoMoreTrolling: 4:51pm On Mar 04, 2018 |
ebocoms: Nice setup! What are you complaining about though, if your batteries are always full by the time you get home Since you aren't really tasking the setup during the day time, I won't expect you to see much juice unless your batteries are almost dead. Try to run some load on it while you're home on a weekend, in full sun, like around 11-1pm. See what you get. Maybe through a microwave on or something and see. |
| Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Oshomo12(m): 4:57pm On Mar 04, 2018 |
mukhcech: If you use ur battery to about 80% DoD, I will advice 200w panel 15amp charge controller and a new BMS(though u can still try the one that came with it). The battery should be back to full state of charge in about 3hrs(all other condition been equall). |

NoMoreTrolling: I remember saying " Naa Me Be Dis?" The first time my diy setup hit 1kw. I had the urge to grow it as much I can through out the terrible recession time. (It was only the marketers that constantly had smiles on their faces - after all - what you buy is what you sell, and prices stayed up there except for JUO). For those starting, do not be ashamed/afraid to post ur harvest, it is an achievement which you would have paid discos to use. The thread is a place to share successes , troubleshooting, new aspirations etc. In response to ur request, the pix is my harvest as at 6.32pm. apart from ironing clothes once or twice a week, my harvest has been 6-8kw daily with day time requirement of 680w . 1 Like
