Oh okay. Thanks a lot.

yeah. the one on konga is sold by the same JUO.

With a budget of 200,000. What capacity of solar system is possible?

stevebond007:
With a budget of 200,000. What capacity of solar system is possible?

for a standard setup, quality 200ah battery is around 150k, while a good pure sine wave 12v inverter with charger is around 75k and above. panels and CC not included yet . crude setup not advised, to avoid spending double in few months time.

guente02:
I have a 48v battery bank hooked to the inverter that charges it.
What charging current is the best for the specs I've attached?

Name:24V 150Ah LiFePO4 Battery
Rated voltage:24V
Standard capacity:150AH
Continiously use Input current:80A
Continiously use output current:80A
Charging voltage:80A
Cut-off:2.5V single cell
Depth of discharge：Up to 95%
Cycle life：Discharge cycle 2000<1C/ Discharge cycle 4000<0.4C

You already have your spec there, charge and discharge at less than 0.4C which is 60A.

omotoda:


This is more than impressive for a LA battery.Its contemporary usually have 700 cycles at 50% DOD

Actually depends on the battery. Amaron Quanta still have 1,200 cycles at about 50% DoD

Guys, Please can a 1kva stabilizer carry an inverter and charger with these specifications?

not ideal bro, depending on the input voltage from utility, a 1kva stabilizer might barely produce enough.
get a 2000w stab.

Ease by rmoloruntoba: 7:09pm On Dec 06
My setup is an APC UPS, PWM charge controller with maintenance free 100Ah battery(just 3month old) with Solar.

1. My neighbor always bring his rechargeable touch light, is it safe ?

2. Can I use Christmas lights on the setup?

3. I want to travel for two weeks this Christmas, is it safe to disconnect it from solar, or I should leave my bulbs switch ON while I travel. I don't want sulphation to happen to my battery

I've been to Alaba twice this week.

It seems we now have new ratings for solar panels now.

What used to be....

100W is now 150W.
200W is now 250W.
250W is now 300W

....and so on!

lolz , u are just noticing, i bought 160w panel as 200w panels, 3yrs ago, i have to spend heavily to return it and another one month to recover my money. the reigning one now, na substandard used panels sold for dead cheap.

Some marketers are still greedy, imagine someone asking me to pay for (for an obvious unknown make) ₦37k for fairly used 250W Polycrystalline and ₦45k for 250w Monocrystalline...dude must've thought I'm a JJC. I actually asked how much come be new? Lol

This is why I'm always suspicious of spec sheets attached to most things. The other day someone asked me if a cable is 240mm², told the dude I can only see they have it written 240mm² on the wire's insulation sheath. That cable may be 200mm² in real life

Which way naija? We’re our own problems i swear we keep defrauding each other…. Now blame the Government.

Good morning house. Am new to this thread but I'll need assistance from a very straightforward person(s).
I want to get a system that can charge with solar and nepa together
Power load:
10 energy saving bulb
2 flat screen
3 celling fan
2 decoder
Please I need a total list of type of battery, solar panels and everything needed for a fully operational setup

Alright, I will be in touch

sethtsadopp:


I can see the prompt on nairaland but didn't see the email. Kindly email me on babatsadopp@gmail.com

Good and Experienced Men of this thread,

I made the below Post because l was hoping that there are people here, like me, who want to use LiefEPo4 Cells/Batteries for their Solar setup.
I have read somewhere on this thread, where a few people came together to import a Pallet of the Cells and l think that is a wonderful way of reducing Cost. That is my objective, for making the post.
The post received 6likes but No Single response, so l am wondering what l have done/said wrong.
I am hoping l can get something quick for next month but dont want to buy ready-made ones.
Maybe its is because it is a newly registered use that l am or probably because l mentioned that "l dont mind using my account"?
Yes, l have a foreign bank Account for some years now from which l can pay from but l dont mind paying from my Naira account as well and we can also do it from any members account.
All l want is just how to get the Cells from China, at a cheaper rate, especially Shipping and Clearing, which are not things l am very familiar with.
Light in my area has become unbearable and l have kids that are suffering from the heat. Going out at night to fuel/off generator, not to mention the noise, is affecting my sleep as well.
Biiko, make una help a Brother

Please,
Cc: Niyi,
Valto,
Ceaser,
Penuelseun,
Earthrealm,
Ojeysky,
Adrusa
and many more Gurus whose username l cant remember off-hand, make una help una boy o! Me too, l want to enjoy this Sun Power as you are all doing.
Last Option : is there a way l can buy just what l need (if l dont get others who need it to come forward) and get it down to Nigeria within like 4weeks, at a very reasonable Shipping and Clearing Cost? Who has experience in this? Who is buying something from China right now and can add my Cells to his package and ship down and clear it for me?
I am ready to go and it is very frustrating that l cant make a way forward.
Please help. if anyone has any question, l am ready to answer it.

Thanks

FireTheSun:
Good morning Elders of this House.
I have been a silent observer here but l have been reading and reading all the wonderful contributions of the Pioneers of this thread and l have always been wowed. You have all taken what was just a hobby into another level and helped others to benefit from it.
After reading so many wonderful things here, la m convinced l will get the needed help from the good people on this thread.

I want to also benefit from Solar Power so l can run my household on Solar.
My observation is that Batteries are a huge draw back of most system l have read about here and so far, most elders have been recommending LifeP04 Cells. I checked around and cant find the Cells to buy except on websites like AliExpress.

But the Cost of Shipping, Clearing and buying in Small Units does not make it economical for an individual.
I have also read where a few people came together to buy a Pallet or Two or three and Ship together, which l think is a wonderful synergy and a show of the level of trust among these people. And l commend the initiator.

My Questions:
Are there people out there like me, who still want to buy LiFeP04 Cells RIGHT NOW?
Can we pull resources together and buy/import from China, like a group did recently?
Can the former Group help us in this regard?

I want others to please contribute.
I dont mind using my account to pay for the Order (I dont have a forex limit on how much l can spend from my Account because it is in a foreign bank), once we work out the rates.

Please, l want this to work as l an envious, in a positive way, of what the other group did.

Right now, the Sun is just causing Heat for me and l want my own pound of flesh, by using it to work on my AC's

Thank you Sirs

yes u can buy the quantity u need individually and get it shipped to Nigeria.

and get it down to Nigeria within like 4weeks, at a very reasonable Shipping and Clearing Cost?

shipping lithium is very sensitive, only few shipping company accepts it.it takes approximately 4months .

Who has experience in this? Who is buying something from China right

u can buy at your own time. feel free to WhatsApp me for more details. cheers.

For your loads, estimated at
10W bulb
85W TV
80W fan
20W decoders
Total of 550W , a 1KVA inverter can handle this loads

What is confusing is your pattern of usage isn't know meaning if you run these loads full time and inefficiently your energy storage (battery) will be huge
If you can state your usage pattern and let other folks look into it will be cool

Products you can look into
Battery
NXT index battery
Quanta Battery
Eastman

Inverter
Luminous

Vmpower
Others

Solar panels
Jinko

You will need an MPPT charger for more efficiency of your battery charging

Noted, but I believe you got the usage I was referring to wrongly

So between 8pm - 12am/3am -7am

How many hours does these appliances run for?

Saying that they all run for 8 hours mean they will have used 4,400Wh
Equal to 4 battery system theoretically

Kindly give a detail estimated breakdown hours of their running as stated above to give a precise advice

Yes, both NEPA and solar can charge alternative or as you plan or decide it to be.
