My 36 year old nepa meter in my house in the village.... House was built in 1988....those days when a whole duplex have to survive on 30amps maximum,over 35Mwh consumed, a perfect example of if its not broken don't fix it

I will share with you my personal experience with these servo stabs.

THEY WORK AT THE BEGINING BUT WILL GRADUALLY FAIL.

Yes, they will fail because the movable parts on that huge toroidal coil will interact with the dusts that are settling on the spindle and coil. After a while, the dust might create a short circuit on the surface of the coil and then the stab will start dropping breaker or fuse due to the explosions from the short-circuit.
I have had this issue with more than four different brands, same issue ooo. Service center guys will try to file off the affected surface and it will work well only for the fault to return after a while.
I eventually stopped taking stuff to the service centers and started opening them up first damn the warrantee, see what went wrong and decide if I should go through the hassle of lifting heavy stabs to service center every now and then.
So during my quest, I discovered that DUST IS THE WORSE ENEMY OF A SERVO STAB.

Then I switched to a relay version and I have been using it for more than 5 years and counting without a single issue.

My Advice: If you must do a servo stab, make sure it's dust proof.

Good morning,

My question is off the solar discussion.

I intend to purchase a 5Kva stabilizer to boost the low voltage supply.

I intend to connect it to my Freezer, and TV

My question is should I go for the conventional big century Stabilizer or a wall mounted stabilizer?
What are the differences in terms of durability and performance?
If there a re better brands I could get also, I'd appreciate.

A quick hack to the dust issue could be just lying the stab on it's side rather than standing it upright. That is if the heavy coils are well secured inside for that orientation though.

That way dust would take a very long time to settle in the contact surfaces.

Do you still use the growatt?

Omo...these steep roofs(send down the rain roofs) are really bad for solar generation.
These past few weeks, my battery has barely charged past 45 to 50%. Something that gets to 100% b4 2pm before now. It's seems the sun direction has changed. Now it currently favours North on my roof while my panels are facing south.
The solution now is an expensive solution. I need to install new panels facing north and buy a new charge controller and cables

By the way, who sells growatt 120A charge controller. I need one for this upgrade.

Between , hope my lithium battery not charging to 100% daily won't affect it?.

I bought grade B 100AH Sinopoly lithium cells in China 4 years ago for this. Battery still in use for such practice till today. Crazy thing I'm using it without BMS.

Dam5reey:


4 cells, you can even use those Smaller LFP 30AH cells, that allow up to 8C discharge
and get a BMS that can handle ~300A surge.

Justice629:


Yes totally off grid

ibietela2:


Did you test without battery? they said it can work without battery

Justice629:


Yes! If enough pv power is available or connected to grid

Drgreatone:

Same thing I am facing and once complained about here. My own is why the consensus that panels must face south seeing as rhe sun isnt constant and always moving about.

Do you build lithium batteries. If yes please send me a message.

From punch newspapers..... At least AYM SHAFA petrol filling stations almost always have electricity.... NIGUS is the same company responsible for the 5 abi 7 mega watt solar setup in sebore dairy farms in adamawa... The farm was started by murtala nyako the former governor or adamawa state... But his son aminu is running things, if you have drank "admiral" yoghurt, know that you drank yoghurt that the manufacturing process from milk collection to bottle packaging was all solar powered... If am not mistaken thier battery is like 7Mwh.

mctfopt:


I was about to ask who's bankrolling em, then I saw former governor and it all makes sense.

swagifted:
The Former governor does not own NIGUS, he does not own AYM shafa, neither does he own NNPC..... He is only a magnate in agriculture. .

I enjoyed his mango back them in adamawa, though expensive but worth it.

jonescosmos:


Oh yes they are bad for solar energy generation.

If you have space and money, do a car port or add panels. If the house is yours, plan towards yanking off the roof someday to do the flat 9^o south roof style. Then cover all of it with panels.

We went to Europe wey no do see plenty of sun, inherited their roofing style and now we have a need for Solar Energy Advantage, the roof we spent millions in building has become a stumbling block.

odimbannamdi:


Are there no disadvantages of flat roofs, particularly as regards retention of rain water? Do you pics of this kind of roof yo refer to?
