How can you post this, without a picture of the cc display or even give the specs&model of the cc?

In the interim put a heavy load for 1 minute on the inverter and revert

The picture dint load earlier, kindly check again, am currently using the system as we speak and charge icon not yet on day mode

Do you have a voltmeter to check if voltage is coming down your panel wires?

What kind of CC is it that you use sef?

Good day my oga's in house please I need help and advice I have solar setup two 5kws of Felicity lithium batteries in parallel 5kva 24v inverter two cc mppt 80am and 100am Felicity 12 panel of 370w each,1500w continuous road
Now my problem is the battery is short down around 8pm in night. when the sun set around 430pm in the evening in bright wether.
Please my engineer's In the house I need advice

What was the load on the setup...i see u mention 1500w continous load...is this on 247?.

Energy cant be created nor destroyed.
2ndly, does the cc log daily harvest?..check and tell us.
Alternatively observe the max instantenous harvest in watts from the cc

Edit:..good you have attached pics, is this a new setup?.what voltage is the bulk/absorb settings on the cc.
Still do @ bolded with a 300w load


Yes it's a new set up, started using 2 days ago
Absord is 14.4v
All my combine load can't be up to 300w, but I have an electric grinder that is 350w, can I power it for a minute?

Send a picture of your cc.

If so..it is a cheap cc, and doesnt show that info...the best it shows is maximum instantenous...scroll to that and tell us or send a screenshot

O
0.2v....something is wrong then.get a digital meter and the voltage from the panels, b4 and after the breaker
...and revert...

Alternatively, if you dont hv a dmm, you can bypass the breaker with 4mm or 6mm cable and observe what happens

Cost of Labour is a function of Cost of Living and Earning Power, in any Economy, Nigeria is No Exception!

If Labour were to be Price Higher, then the Cost of the Final Product will be Higher.
If Cost of Product is Higher, then the Income of the Buyer has to be Higher.

In an Economy were the Basic Wage is #30,000 per Month (and some are still paying as low as #10,000!), Cost of Labour can only be as Cheap, for it to be affordable.

Can anyone in Nigeria, pay the Equivalent of $3,000/2,500 Euros PER MONTH (#1.5Million), for a three bed Flat, as they pay in those economy where Cost of Labour is High? grin grin
That is #18Million Per Annum, while we pay #1M Per Annum for the same type or even a better Flat, here in Nigeria.


If l may also add, Solar is not expensive, it only seems so here in Nigeria because we are too lazy to use our brain to manufacture anything and the Govt is populated by a bunch of mediocre who are only concerned with Looting the Treasury.

What does it take to produce Solar Panels in Nigeria?
Dont we produce Batteries
(Berec Batteries, Exide Batteries) in Nigeria, in the 70s/80's?

These are the two major expense in Solar Setup, if we set our priorities right and stop enriching China, every house can have a Solar Panel and Batteries for backup at night.

Please forgive my rant, e just dey vex me at times.
No doubt our economy is not very productive, and its like our political rulers enjoy seeing the masses poor and poorer... and poverty has a vicious circle/cycle that has to be broken by productivity and serious determination, the more people earn the more they can afford services and goods offered in an economy but the bad belle people no want am like that!

I was making inquiries about setting up solar panel plant in Nigeria and the cheapest option i got from a firm was 100k USD but not a complete manufacturing plant just to assemble the panels which was quite discouraging for me, as i wanted a plant that makes the raw panels from scratch... I see India also trying to step up in Solar Panel production, we need to do better...

Omo, that Lithium-Titanate bhaad ghan! With moderate use, you may possibly fail to exhaust it in a lifetime. Best case scenario, bequeath it to your children.

Boy go be like, oi, that battery was used by my dad before he died and I'm still rocking it! grin grin
LTO is good but too expensive, i have been following up on research about Sodium ion Batteries, Flow batteries, Graphene Capacitors/Batteries as well as Solid State Batteries and the future looks bright.

Good to hear, though l have my doubts about the authenticity of that information, without any link/Reference to the manufacturer to back it up.

If that is the case, what is then responsible for the high Cost of Panels right now?
Excessive Profiteering?
High Input Costs? (Especially Power!)

That was a good effort and l commend you for trying.
I am also sure that it is a good thing, if five honest people can pull resources together, to establish such effort.
$100,000 is not really much, if we can get the technology and input Materials together.
I will be up for such Project, if the opportunity arise.

We also have to contend with a bad Govt that likes to kill Business of individuals, current Business Climate is horrible. angry

Maybe I should ask you this: Were the MC4 connectors of your panels left intact by the installer or they were cut off? This is important especially as you said it is a new installation that has worked for only three days.

In instances as where the MC4s are removed, the twisted panel wires often form an arc at the junction of the panel wires and the wire running the rest of the way to the CC. With the arc formed at the junction, a voltmeter may even show normal panel output voltage when measured at the point of entry to the CC. However the current required from the panels will be low or non-existent as shown by the CC.

Transformerless inverters are equally good....they can power all type of load. My 5kva felicity hybrid inverter powers my whole flat. I cook, iron and pump water with it. Reliable and has a low idle consumption
Look in well into the said inverter board, there is one or more High current transformer/inductor.

A Pure Transformer less Inverter uses only Capacitors and Semi-conductors. So know the proper difference now everyone.

Away from that, Anyone can DIY His Or Her Own Solar Battery Using Charcoal (Eeedu), Hypochloric or Hydrochloric Acid, Copper and Alluminium Rods or Thick Wire, 2 different Sizes Of PVC Pipes.

Now Watch this Video Here To Learn How To Do It https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_gaO3j816Ek

Do you know that When You Burn Wood In A Airtight Metal Container, It Turns In To Super Quality Charcoal That Readily Becomes A Charged Battery On It Own.

Do not get amazed over anything here. You have to do it yourself to see the effect with your KoroKoro Eyes Whatch this Video directly on YouTube or Download it using y2mate.com https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JIrgNosdRFE

When I am saying certain things on here, I know many of you know your onions in the areas you likely Limits yourselves to or Specialize in. But Power Generation for Business and YES Total Liberation Needs More than knowing About Mere SOLAR Power Set Up!! You Have To Expand and Start Thinking Logically, Tactically and Technically to bring about Arrays of Affordable Solutions to the deliberate Power Outage the Powers That Be are deliberately subjecting us to.

In the series of videos I shared there links base on Charcoal Battery making, if you watched each one of them directly on YouTube or you download them all first to save data using the recommended website y2mate.com, you will notice one of them standout as to it chemistry and charge Separation of it positive to negative terminals. The title of the said video is "3 months on Probation untill It Succeeded".
This is the best of all because the Positive and Negative Terminals are well Separated. But you may think the two pipes contains the same Mixture which would make both of them to be Positively Charged. Well, Yes you are Rigth in your view but Wrong on the other side.
How?
When you have More of Positive In one area and Less of Positive in another area, The latter would act as Negative to the Former expecially when there is Isolation between them.

The Bigger PVC pipe content is more than the content inside the smaller diameter pipe it encapsulates. This set on the Superior Positive over the other.

That is the Logic!!!

If you can not get Crystal Salt, You can use industrial Salt too.

Watched the Auxano/BOI Video.
I must say l am thrilled that we have started from 'somewhere', guys lik that need all the encouragement they can get, to go "Automated".

Having said that, l must also point out that there is a difference between Assembling Solar Panels and Manufacturing Solar Panels.
What l see in that Video is a Company into "Assembling Solar Panels".
I did not see anywhere they Manufactured the Solar Cells, which is the backbone of a Solar Panel, they imported the Cells and then began to put them together.

But it is a good start, Rome was not built in a day.
With a good enabling environment, Govt can use its Diplomatic leverage to "buy Technology" from the Chinese/Russian/Asian Govts in a BOT arrangement, for our Entrepreneurs.

The Europeans and Americans wont sell such technology to us, they prefer we are always in a begging position, so they can continue to arm-twist us into submission. grin

does it mean removing mc4 connectors harms the current the pv is generating? please i need more clarification on this.. sometimes this mc4 connectors do not make good contacts
