Hello everyone.

Please I need a quick technical advice here.

I have a 2.4kva BTS inverter. I have used this with 4car batteries(for a period of 2years) and now it's time to go for the real batteries. I want to get Tubular Batteries as against the Gel types. My worry is if this inverter can charge this batteries and if this combination can serve/perform well as expected considering the Tubular max charge is about 15v...

See attached inverter... Same as mine but mine is not hybrid. Other specifications are same

@bigrovar

You hit the nails too too hard grin
You are 100% RIGHT esp on :

Ground mounted to allow for optimum tilting,airflow,and cleaning. I v confirmed this over and over only for those with large free ground space.

Probably most with poor tilting on roof top and location will oversize their panels. Although some oversized theirs due periods of poor weather.

N.B : Dont believe everything u see on YouTube from the "oyinbo" who carried out his test in an environment or location not as hot as Nigeria for example.

No b by plenty panels grin grin grin

Thank you very much boss…I really appreciate it.
I have 1kva Inverter I got from my brother. Plus I will like to get a setup that will be useful incase I move to a bigger flat next year. Please if you can give estimate of the solar panel..battery and Solar control I will be needing to have a 24hours light without hindrance.
Thanks boss once again.
olopan:
A quick insight to your project

To lay it bare, your appliances are not efficient even if you try to manage it, they won't help at the long run & a quote will look bogus for these little setup

Proffered solutions, if possible when choosing to go solar

1. If a 12V TV with adapter can be used ... It will be a great alternative

2. Forget the fridge use it only with Grid supply

3. Use only TV speaker, forget the speaker too

4. Don't have idea of the bulbs but since it is a room, changing them to 5 or 3 watts and using only two at a go will go a long way to minimize yoir setup

5. If you can get them DC fan of 30W max. That will be good for your setup

6. Say your neighbor have 3 lamps to charge i.e. 9W x 3 and phone charging say 12W x 4 phones. That's 18W + 48W =66W for say three(3) hour period - 198Wh
( when you decide to go solar then only a device per person is best allowed) else your battery go hear am.

Conclusion

With a TV - 60W+ bulbs 10W+ decoder 20W + fan 30W = 120W for 5 hours is a 50% Dod for 100Ah battery

So a 1kva 200Ah Solar system with these new aforementioned suggestions, & your 10 hours of GRID supply should keep your going for 24 hours of power with no interruption. (Your neighbor charging wasn't included)

Good morning house. I am a novice in inverter matters and I intend to get one soon. I need advise and guidance please. Someone is offering a few months used hybrid 2.4kva De-bull inverter with 2 (telecom) batteries to me at 400k. Is this a good buy in terms of product and value for money? Or is it overpriced? If so, can anyone recommend a better and cheaper deal?

I currently stay in an area where light supply is extremely poor (less than 3 hours a day). My appliances are just basic for now but I need something with good battery backup. Thanks.

are the batteries new or used? If used, it is definitely not worth it

Adding to what @PenuelSeun said with less than 3 hours per day power you'd need solar to charge anything properly.

Is this panel truly 300W and is it a good combo?

.....

What brand is the panel? Where are you sourcing from? Are you buying directly from a known distributor? Consider having an informed person test and confirm the capacity before you pay.

I can see that the Charge Controller in the picture is PWM. As much as possible, as a starter and considering the proposed size of your panel, please avoid anything PWM. It will be unable to fully maximize the harvest from the sun. Lots of energy losses. Go for MPPT instead. It is worth the investment.

Hi folks,

I just bought a pair of Blue carbon 24v 200ah lifepo4 batteries to replace the gel batteries on my 24v. 3kva hybrid inverter paired with 8x 250 watt panels

Setting it up now on my hybrid inverter. The documentation that came with it is not very clear.
So here is how I've set it up with my hybrid inverter

Charging voltage: 29.2
Float voltage: 27.2
Low voltage disconnect (inverter): 23.5v

How do these figures look? If I know the LVD of the BMS, it will help me set the LVD on the inverter well. But don't know what it is or how to find out.

Any advice please?

(P.S Most installers will just install the battteries without setting these on the inverter. The guy that came to install was clueless. His boss was just murtering technobabel and saying I wouldn't understand as I'm not an engineer and don't understand lithium batteries.

blue carbon 200ah 24v.. not real capacity though. if truly lifep04 cells inside, u should charge at 27.8V/28V absorb, 27V/27.2V float. low voltage disconnect between 24v to 24.5V

u dont have to fear, but there are different versions of it anyway. if written LIFEPO4, then just charge according to the recommended charge profile.
