Based on types, we have stand alone inverter or hybrid inverter type.
based on wave form, we have modified sine wave or pure sine wave.
inverter can come in either types with modified or pure sine wave but sine wave is always better.
the stand alone type can not work with solar panels without you buying a charge controller as a support but hybrid can work with solar panels directly (i.e inverter and solar charger in one unit). as for me I prefer stand alone because both the inverter and solar charger will probably not have fault at the same time.
my Kobo sense but expert will give more details.
Thank you sir, I really appreciate I still have questions to ask, in terms of battery which one is the best because there's a lot of batteries and I don't want to fall on wrong one. The one you know is the best

Gurus in the house, I have a 850va Inverter with x1 220ah Tubular battery. I'm looking to add solar panels to my current system so I can charge with Sunlight as my regular electricity supply has become very unreliable.

After getting numerous quotes (most of them were outrageous!) from a number of sources, I decided to come here to see if I could get more information. I've gone through quite a lot of pages as well as other information on Google and I now think I have a good idea of the set up that would work for me. Just looking to get another opinion.

Initially, I was looking to get x3 Felicity 195watts 12v solar panels (since my battery is just 12v) and hook it up to a Suoer MPPT 60A charge controller.

Having delved a bit deeper, I found out I can actually use solar panels with higher voltage - 24v since the MPPT will still be able to step this down to the right voltage (12v) to charge my battery. From what I read, the higher voltage would reduce the losses associated with the distance between the solar panels and the controller.

Now I'm looking to get x2 300W 24v panels to connect to the same Suoer MPPT 60A charge controller.

In terms of pricing, both set-ups are relatively similar. I'm just hoping to get some advice on whether I should go for the 1st or 2nd set up and if either makes any sense! Also, comments on the choice of MPPT and Panels would be much appreciated as well.

Lastly, a very rough estimate on the accessories - mounting rack, cables, etc would be nice.

Thanks!

The only thing I would change from your setup is the Suor MPPT controller. I would change this for an epever or fangpusun mppt controller. They are much more reliable and have better charge algo compared to Suoer. I would advise you string your 300w panels in Series. This means that you would get about 70v-68v (VMP) depending on the panels. Doing it this way would ensure you.
1- Spend less on wiring, since you would be pushing move volts than amps from your panels to you CC. It would also means less voltage lost to resistance.
2 - Your battery would have more head room required to charge a tubular battery. Such batteries can require as high as 15.5v to be properly charged and you can set the absorption voltage to 14.8.

Both the listed charge controllers should be able to do what you want with the battery especially carry out equalization charge which is required for a tubular battery.

Weather conditions appear to really affect solar panels. This issue of battery quality is an interesting one in Nigeria. I use a MUST mppt.

Renewable energy using PV is a sun business, so weather is a major factor. Cloudy and dusty period are the worse period for optimal performance. But a clear weather with lil dust does increase performance.

I am looking to buy a Solar panel, can someone recommend a solar system and the price
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Moneyboyz: 3:24pm On Mar 20, 2022
So I've been unable to get someone to build me a cheap 60v 40ah battery pack for my electric bike.
Someone offered to build it here but his connect who is to supply the materials keeps disappointing.

So now I have decided to lock up and do this shit myself, someone should please recommend where I can get New Branded Lithium ion cells for as low as 800 naira below in Lagos and a 60v BMS. I can get the materials and if you are in Lagos and can build it for me within a day let me know.

Branded as in reputable brands only.
I shouldn't be worrying about batteries right now sef if not for Igbo boys who sold me fake new SLA batteries.

Thanks very much for your prompt response. I actually saw some of your previous posts here and they were very helpful and gave a lot of insight prior to me even making my comments.

In your opinion, which of them would be more user friendly? I haven't done this before and while I'm pro DIY, I feel a little bit nervous about it. The only reason I even thought of using the Suoer was because of the display interface and the ease of configuring (based on the view Youtube videos I was able to watch).

Again, I'm not an expert in this field at all, it just looked a little bit easier for a novice like me to set up and get running.

I appreciate your suggestion with regards to getting either Fangusun or Epever. Would you by any chance be able to direct me to a website article or video that shows the basic initial MPPT configuration process in English? This would be very helpful so I can follow after setting up the connections. I tried looking around and most of what I saw was in Hindi.

Thanks again!

On Suoer, I haven't used them before and I can not attest to how good they are. Fangpusun controllers are essentially Victron clones. Epever has some very good rep too. You can reach out to Juo on this forums. He would supply you what you need and you can count on him for good support on setup.

Good morning great minds,
I have a 200watt 24v solar panel installed/connected to a 200ah 12V battery and sunrise controller PWM (30/20/10A - 12/24V). Someone Saw it and said I must change controller to Mppt to balance the load.
Is he correct??
What mppt type & price please?

Not exactly true, below 600w panel array...using mppt doesn't make sense.
however you should be aware that 200w panel cant charge your 200ah battery full in a day..be it mppt or pwm charger . 600w panel is recommended for each 200ah 12v battery you have...ie in an offgrid scenario. you cud getby with less, if you have nepa supporting coming in
