Bro abeg help me look if this Output specification -> "Vented/ Sealed / Gel / NiCd / Lithium battery(defined voltage for other battery by user)" means editable charge voltage settings

Does this mean MakeSkyBlue can not work for flooded/tubular? -> Suitable for battery types of sealed lead acid, vented Gel, and Lithium battery

small tbb inverters do not have any display on them, but they sell external display meter through which you can edit the settings and look at the inverter information. Read it can be integrated online through raspberry pi.

You can trigger equalization voltage yourself by raising the battery voltage to between 15.5v and 16v for about 3hrs maybe monthly depending on usage. It is not a must for it to be stated there

If you have an inverter that can put out 40a per 12v 220Ah battery then certainly you do not need an extra standalone charger.

Your inverter at 40a can already refill your single 220Ah battery within 4 to 8 hours which is fast enough. The math here is not linear as there is how deep the battery was discharged as well as the physics of absorb and float charge stages to consider

You should never run the battery empty neither should you charge it too fast - about 30a is the max that should go into a single flooded 12v 220Ah battery so you are in a good place with your inverter alone.

Boss my primary charge for now could be Grid/Gen, do I still need standalone charger?

So without meaning to rain on your parade, it is entirely possible to get confused in a multitude of counsel - you have received info from so many contributors here that I fear you may make a suboptimal decision when/if all that sound advise freely given is not interpreted in the right context.

Please may I suggest you retable your needs simply as below;

My load is averagely """"300""""""watts (consisting of a, b, c appliances). I am looking for a system that will give me ?X hours of backup with the primary battery recharge source being PHCN or Gen or Solar??. I already decided to use 12v flooded batteries so I just need help choosing a matching inverter/ solar charge controller and other accessories. I have no plans of upgrading the system in the next X? months/years

This should help you much better to get all your support in one place and in a format you can safely use. DIY is sweet but there is a framework required as a base to do it properly.

Agreed, the disadvantages of a wall-mounted or vertical solar array outnumber the advantages. However, it’s used in cases where you have no better options in terms of mounting space on or around a building, yet the client needs to have renewable energy in the building.
These type of setups can still generate 100 percentage of required energy if intelligent and calculated pv oversizing is done.
So please calm down a bit.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQhyb62CvOU

Having seen this video couple of weeks ago and now seeing the bank's project about a day ago, I had to search for the video again.

I don't think it is an effort in futility. With serious constraints in roof space for high rise buildings as that and much more constraints in harnessing wind energy, this may be the more realistic way to harness alternative energy.

They may have to device other means of proper integration with grid (if they still want to use grid power), diesel generator (which will still be inevitable given the huge power demands of such building) and/or gas plants (which is most desirable giving its clean and availability status in the Nigerian context).

Speaking of solar roofs, this idea was first conceptualised by Elon Musk and I decided to follow the idea as it trended. But apparently Elon did not continue with the idea.

Our Chinese folks wey no dey waste time have already latched onto the idea and now mass producing it.

It seems expensive for the size though notwithstanding the aesthetic value of having such on your home.

I chatted them on WhatsApp but they said "Cyber System Monitor" has some of the features I mentioned, while "Vison Lite Monitor System" can be used to program params.

So I deduced, perhaps it's both device that can give the needed features.

I asked myself if I must get those display meters/monitors to get what I want.

But on afterthought, I remembered (Luminous Optimus 1100VA 12V) can equally give the first, second, third features listed at a lesser price if you combined the price of tbb + display meter/monitors.

Then I was asking myself if tbb route is worth it just for the sake of the fridge.

I read some reviews online where user complained that "Luminous Optimus 1100VA 12V" is a bit noisy during usage, coupled with the fact that it's rated 924W so still don't know if it would carry the fridge posted earlier as that's the only appliance that I am considering.

Although "Elepaq Sv2200 1.2kva" could not carry the fridge but I know elepac overrate they Gen capacity reasons best known to them.

Please when you were using the tbb 1.2kv, did you get those device(s) alongside?

No, I didn't get those devices, I went directly to their office, told them what I wanted and they programed the inverter appropriately

Juror:

Thanks for your contribution as always. I need some clarification.
I believe generally, charging each battery in it's isolated state with a 12V charger is normal but based on your experience and what you've practically done, do you attach the 12V charger to each battery's terminal without disconnecting them from the string?

Also, do you switch off solar charging for them while doing so or the solar charging continues while the individual chargers also charge the batteries while being powered from the grid or Gen?

Solar sweet oh... So after mustering courage and finance and grace to relocate from a house that the landlord doesn't allow solar installation, only one tenant has the gate key, needs you to get permission before putting mosquito nets, etc... I moved into a bigger apart5with the landlord in full support of your convenience. In his words... "My son, make the place comfortable as you want.". I installed some of those beoken panels I also helped some persons here procure.... My harvest with a dull sky hit about 5 times what my former installation could do on a very good day.... grin grin. Plus upgrade from about 1kw panels to around 1.7kw....and i never exhaust all my pv panels I bought. cheesy

It mustn't be stated. You should be able to set it manually by yourself.

The Pow Mr CC, for instance, has profiles for different battery types. Within each battery profile, you can also set the floating and absorption voltages. You can choose as high 16.0v as floating voltage and 17.0v as absorption voltage. But i honestly don't know which of the stated profiles should suit tubular batteries. I am guessing Sealed thiugh. Hopefully, veterans will clarify.

Please may I suggest you retable your needs simply as below;

My load is averagely """"300""""""watts (consisting of a, b, c appliances). I am looking for a system that will give me ?X hours of backup with the primary battery recharge source being PHCN or Gen or Solar??. I already decided to use 12v flooded batteries so I just need help choosing a matching inverter/ solar charge controller and other accessories. I have no plans of upgrading the system in the next X? months/years

This should help you much better to get all your support in one place and in a format you can safely use. DIY is sweet but there is a framework required as a base to do it properly.

My Load:
1. LG 32” LED Full HD TV 32LP500BPTA - this will be on for (6 - 8hrs on weekdays), & (8 - 12hrs on weekends)

2. HP 620 Laptop - this will be used Max 4hrs per day at 2hrs each usage then unplug when full to use laptop battery for 3hrs before charging again for another 2hrs if I still want to use it.

3. AKT 20 Watts Energy Bulb (4 Pieces) - only two will be on at a time.
Note: If 20W is too much I can discard them to purchase lower watts that will also give maximum brightness.

4. LG 7kg Washing Machine (200W to Max 360W) - this will be used Max 2 hours per day twice a week.
Note: When it's been use other appliances can go off.

5. Hisense Top Mount Defrost 204L Refrigerator DRB-205 (0.9A & 220v - 240v) - this will be powered for 3 - 4hrs only if there's no light for 48hrs straight.
Note: Other appliances can go off when using this.


(Optional Load)
6. 60" ORL Ceiling Fan - I can ignore this as there's Qasa 18" fan with 20W panel to take care of this and it last days on a single charge, as a matter of fact it has never run down anyday.

7. LG Xboom CJ44 Audio Deck - I do not intend to power this with the inverter as when the volume is increased I know it will certainly drain the battery faster cause it's so loud.

(NOT NEEDED)
Electric Hot stove double plate - this is same as the image posted by ojeysky some previous pages. Binatone Cool Guard reads that this is 1000W+ for the small plate but I DO NOT INTEND TO POWER THIS WITH INVERTER.


General Note: My focus is on 1 - 5, but if calculations can also be done to include 5&6 it will be appreciated.

PHCN Power Supply (2am - 5am) & (8am - 11am).

Primary battery recharge source could be PHCN & Gen or PHCN & Solar.

I have no plan upgrading in the next 3yrs.

I do not wish to install myself (but I want to buy everything and call an installer to install them. But I should know what he's doing at each stage.

I wish to use 12v 220ah Luminous Tubular battery, but a better Lead Acid battery can be recommended.

I need help choosing a matching inverter (possibly the one that can display load percentage & battery backup/charge time and if possible also have editable charge voltage/current), solar charge controller and other accessories (including cable size, DC fuse/Breakers, battery rack if relevant e.t.c)

Also recommend the generator size that can charge the battery via inverter on raining days and in the absence of PHCN.

If the amount of everything including installation can be stated it would be appreciated.

I do think it is the other way round. If a potential buyer sees your price online and they slide into your DM, then they are definitely serious with patronizing you as they already have an idea on how much your item is. They will negotiate from a place of knowledge of your price - which will be an average of their own minimum offer and maximum price they can pay for.
