yes, from a furniture paint store

Not sure how many years with solar but my experience in furniture says like 5 years and above but with constant sun bathing two years routine maintenance should keep it going

durodee:

Lacquer polish can be obtained from a paint shop ,right?
For how many years will that give the panels?

It will work bro

Just like mine

Get a big transparent celotape( nylon ) and tape all over. It will work bro.

U can even use cling film on it too along with d tape.

Pay attention too to the borders where water will run through.

How many watt is it rated for, I need 60v 1500 to 2000 watts. I messed it up, it didn't spoil same day, it failed after 5 days or so. I thought the controller is waterproof.

I have placed an order for it.

The controller is specially rated to match with your ebike's motor and other features. So check your old ebike's controller and buy accordingly.

My neighbour tried this some years ago, but wait till the sun messes up the transparent tape. Your PV surface will be looking as scaly as a crocodile's skin.

Very correct though.

It depends on number of times such is wrapped over.

Well, mine is within reach just on a fence, so as e turn to crocodile skin, i go peel off den wrap up again. grin

Any specific make or brand name?
Is it worth it to buy such panels and what value /percentage of original price?

Its a huge gamble buying such panels, from what happened to mine after the repair...would only consider buying such panels at 10% or max 15% of cost price of new panel. as per brands, i bought the chemical off amazon, after reading reviews...cant remember that exact brand...but the repaired panel failed permanently within 1yr

This is a liquid version of nylon.

The most important thing here is protecting d pv from water at most. Though I will only buy cracked pv at extremely cheap price.

Bought 2 pieces of cracked acclaimed 350w pv at a very ridiculous price. Both working though at its own pace parallel with another single normal pv of 190w all producing 22amp max

I have ordered one from AliExpress, knowing that it's gonna take weeks to arrive and I needed the bike very urgent, I sourced for another faulty solar inverter and swapped the transistors. It worked like charm. When the new one arrives I will replace it with the one I repaired cause some functions are not working.
It's better than the bike not being operational at all

Batteryless hybrid inverter (with a lot of panels)
Don't try it.

Once the inverter cannot get enough yield from the sun to power your load. Power would be cut off. A battery no matter as small would compensate for that shortfall which can happen several times even with the peak generation hours

Pls I need some help. I just bought these 2pcs of 12V 200Ah Quanta batteries. I have 6pcs of 250W installed PV.

I forgot to turn off the fridge after sunset only to notice that by 7pm, my battery was indicating 50% on the inverter. Battery volt was 23.6V.
As at 5pm, I was still getting 110Watts from the sun.

My overall load was around 250watts.

Is this normal for a battery that is just 2wks old?

Your fridge didn't allow your battery get enough charge from your solar. Also you drained the little charge that the batteries go. Furthermore, it must have been a low yield day, so your generation was obviously small

[quote author=olopan post=113587745]Good day Folks,

I noticed many at times, some members are in need of small solar system that they can trust with regards to being designed up to standard, I took on a side project that will solve such power needs of those with power requirements that is efficient & small. I call it the "Solar starter pack

Hello please how many hours can this power all the equipment that you put in this write up?

Please who has an alternative power solution that is affordable and in the FCT. It is intended to power a device with 500W capacity.

It is urgently needed and quantity can be many if confirmed to be okay. It should run for like 5 hours minimum daily
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Trippledots(m): 8:32am On Jun 11, 2022
Good day, gentlemen please i need experienced recommendations.

For 1kva to 2kva normal 'transformer' inverters, which will be recommended that has

-Good charge current/profile.
-Reliable and easy to repair.
-not EXPENSIVE! grin
-price range.

With all the loads listed it will do roughly 2 hours just on battery, but with efficient load management, it will go for 24 hours non stop depending on your areas power supply. so it all rest on how well you plan to utilize the setup

I have a 5KVA Solar Inverter with 4 x 200AH Eastman Tubular batteries (2.5 years old - 60% life remaining).

I want to replace the batteries to a Lithium battery.

Should I get a 5KVA or 10KVA Lithium LFP?

What is the best brands to buy (regardless of costs)
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 12:54pm On Jun 11, 2022
Have no product available that fits into your needs, but my recommendation will be to
1. Use lithium battery
2. Design a fresh system

No specification to know if just a OFFgrid option or grid backup solution i.e. those power inverter types or normal inverter that can charge with NEPA
