omotoda: And may I add,please change your installer.For this investment you.put up,the installation is untidy and doesn't show someone who knows his onions.He can't trunk cables,wires flying up and down. 6 Likes |

omotoda:Okay thank you. Do you know any good installer in Benin City? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by adrusa: 3:54pm On Oct 12, 2021 |
omotoda: I agree mostly. There are two possibilities; your load is bigger than this setup or the setup is not maximizing its potential. 1. What is the maximum wattage of charging power have you ever noticed? 2. What is your load like during the day? When we know the answers, we may be able to offer an opinion on your setup. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by en0uwem: 4:29pm On Oct 12, 2021 |
adrusa: 1. The maximum wattage I've read from the charge controller is 3 kilowatts 2. I use these in the store: 30 6watts ceiling led light. 6 24 Watts ceiling led light. 1 led television. 1 standing fan. A chiller that we turn on occasionally - maybe 1hour a day. One outdoor led video display - I don't know the wattage, but we also turn it on occasionally. |

en0uwem: With the money you spent , you could have flown someone from lagos to come install that thing properly . It is a dirty and bad job that was done there , you should get someone from lagos or Ibadan that can come in and make you enjoy your system 1 Like |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by adrusa: 6:32pm On Oct 12, 2021 |
en0uwem: I suspect that your load may be too much for the system. From what you listed, you are leaving very little to charge the battery after serving your load. I suggest that you get more panels and another charge controller. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by SolnergyPower: 6:42pm On Oct 12, 2021 |
These are not guzzling loads. Your system should have just be fine. From the disarray in the image you shared with us, the solar panels mounting may be worse. Roof inclination, solar panels direction etc can be factors affecting your harvest. Just as suggested by one of us here, you need to get an expert to have a second physical look at the installation. Unfortunately, I don't know any installer in Benin. We're in Port Harcourt. en0uwem: 2 Likes |

I'm learning alot on this tread. Kudos to you guys. |

en0uwem: One thing you can be sure of is that the lifespan of the battery won't be affected by not fully charging it up that's a lead acid con. Otherwise other comments made are on point, especially the importance getting a professional to check out your setup 1 Like |

What can I get for like N400k? Also, Can one be charging inverter with generator? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ojeysky(m): 7:53pm On Oct 12, 2021 |
limsycutey: You can get a 50AH lithium or 200AH lead acid. A 1.5kva 12v hybrid inverter and a 400w panel. That will power your bulbs and maybe TV. Yes you can charge with generator |

en0uwem: Wow your setup has good components. Victron mppt charge controller plus 2 felicity 10kwh lifepo4 banks, but the connection is really tardy, not professional at all..considering the cost of your components. If you are in gra axis or within 10km radius from obas palace, could link u up with someone competent to audit your system. The system must work o... I hope the kartel inverter was configured properly for lithium? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by limsycutey(f): 9:39pm On Oct 12, 2021 |
ojeysky: Okay, I don't understand anything Lol but I will come back in a few weeks when I want to set it up. Thanks |

Having check your recent comments, your loads are within a minimal range (600 - 1200W) battery should charge well, though panels could have being more Your panels may be averaging 2KW - 3.6KW instaneously on ideal cases I.e. if they are all installed on a single plane I.e. one side of your roof From my own POV I suspect your panels are installed on different side of the roof, dragging and shifting the power points of power via the charge controller. If you can provide pictures just ascertain this point, Also, lastly to note is that I pray and hope that your panels are not a "refurbished,used,tokunbo,UK used" solar panels .... If that is the case then that is another angle to look at things from. en0uwem: 1 Like |

earthrealm: Yes, I'm very close to Oba Palace. I'll send you a message in the morning. I don't really know if the installer is competent with setting up lithium battery installations cus I'm beginning to doubt it. I think the installer is only good with lead acid battery installations. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by en0uwem: 11:53pm On Oct 12, 2021 |
olopan:The panels are installed on a single plane - one side of the roof. They're new panels. But I don't know if they're cheap Chinese panels. I'll check in the morning. Thank you |

en0uwem: My brother,just let another competent person have a look and do a proper,tidy and neat connection. No professional installer will do this kind of job.He even joined a live wire with black tape mid way.How nah ! You have spent good money in this Buhari economy to have this kind of annoying set up!!! 3 Likes |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by en0uwem: 10:48am On Oct 13, 2021 |
omotoda:Okay thank you. I'm now waiting for earthrealm to reply me so they can connect me to a better installer |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ceaser: 4:37pm On Oct 13, 2021 |
NiyiOmoIyunade: Thanks. I really do not mind this route. However one reason I ignored it is that the inverter still runs even when the AC output is off, meaning that the idle consumption still continues. Okay, let's assume I want to adopt your method (which I really love to), what contactor would you suggest that can handle at least 16 amp of AC power output at the inverter AC terminals? I will look up that XH M611 right away. |

Pls how reliable is POWMR mppt charge controller. Who amongst us has used it? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by samnaija: 7:19pm On Oct 13, 2021 |
en0uwem: Do you have any idea how they installed your panels. If 3 or 4 in series. Then also provide the max voltage ratings on the back of the of the solar panels. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ajabani4allah(m): 7:24pm On Oct 13, 2021 |
I just got the ATS below, it didn't come with manual and I am a little bit confused concerning the wiring with load, Nepa and generator, pls i need your enlightenment on it

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ceaser: 8:28pm On Oct 13, 2021 |
cell7: I have had POWMR in set-up for the past two years. Some others here too have it in their set ups. None of the four has shown any untoward issues. |
