larger panel are way better most larger panel come with premium technology, do you know what is TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) or N-type panel technology, no 400watt or 500watt panel comes with is type of advanced tech, it is always better to go bigger if 900watt panel they use am it better off than those small small panel, one big panel nor go heavy make e heavy reach bag of cement
tell us which brand or panels get this big grammar for Nigeria.

Having halfCut mono of required capacity is enough at least for now. and if you got suitable location, make it biFacial.

No go begin justify things with grammar wey never near we country.

House wey go carry water tank as small as 1,000 litres, dem dey prepare the place so e go fit carry the load YET we wan begin dey keep over 50kg load on concentrated area for country where most houses nowAdays lack concrete pillar or beam. na mostly load bearing block dem dey use these days; add the fact even the blocks (mostly and often 6-inches) are of weak + poor quality; come add the fact most dey do short lintel, instead of chain lintel or beam, still consider the fact that poor structure go come carry roof wey over heavy. Abeg make una pity the building.

I know say na to do your work, collect money waka BUT still...

Yes to be more efficient and last longer
I still dey ask, why most people prefer installing smaller sized solar panels for their clients by default.

See eh, no be say fewer larger solar panels is not good BUT there's never a one size fits all. One needs access situation + requirement to make a decision.

Mind you, it's better to just compare the Specs on the stickers to know if that single 700w panel would output more than 2pcs of 350w panels of same technology. No go compare between mono and poly or between halfCut and ordinary.

Another is, smaller panels could be cheaper to acquire BUT might cost a bit more to mount.

Another is, having more smaller panels e.g 450w is safer than having fewer 900w as should a single one go bad, you might loose more or less. remember not putting all your eggs in a single basket.

of course if using things such as micro inverter, etc, then it makes sense having fewer panels.

If you get send down the rain kinda roof, come still buy +700w solar panels for house wey be 2 or more storey building, hmm

Go buy jinko 600watt upward or longi Anti shading panel I nor b installer, u nor go see premium panel for low watt like 400watt or 450watt even 500watt self

you are missing the point. Discussion isn't about these shiny fancy features you listing.

If from day 1, you guys listed a couple of benefits on why One should only buy large sized solar panels of certain range, and also included how to identify such features, I doubt I would have said anything otherWise.

But now, una wan take feature wey panels wey get am no reach 20% of what's in the country to take justify. Common to buy quality Solar panels sef be like to win election in Nigeria without corruption.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by osayuwamwen(m): 7:06pm On Mar 02
Fouani they sell original panel, cdcare too they sell original na only say e they expensive that y people they go for fake/substandard panel, low watt panel be like old school soon u won't be seeing all those 400watt for market anymore

Good morning house, pls how do I connect and activate this smart BMS?
I have gotten this JBD 50A Smart BMS but it's not connecting whenever I try to connect, it does not give output and the bluetooth connection will later go out and disconnect

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by BangaRice: 9:07am On Mar 03
Please house.
Where can one get quality half-cut solar panel of around 300w-400w range?

Those kinds of panels will sell if available walayii.

Tired of random solar pv for now.

Your location is always important. Most major markets should have them both new or used. Issue is TRUST.

I believe because cost of producing large sized solar panel seems cheaper, manufacturers focus more on those hence systematically forcing people to go such route.

If 300w to 400w is scarece, nothing bad going 500w. Another issue is finding non bifacial.

To reduce possibility of getting substandard solar panels, enter major big shops, not those anyHow ones

ECO LION

A new battery in the market. Have you used or have experience with it?

Pls share your experience.

Learnt it has comm port but no Bluetooth or screen.

Good morning everyone,
Please I need a breakdown of an inverter installation for a small budget of max 600k

I want to buy the components myself to reduce cost, I can then call someone to install it for me.

Recommend good products/brand, capacity and the price
1.1 battery
2.2 solar panels
3. 1.5kva or 2.5kva hybrid inverter, depends on the price
4. Any other things I may need

first buy 24v battery either used (Tubular / SLA / Lithium) or new Lithium.

Come back tell us how much remain. So we give you the rest. for your budget, you would have to use more of used items especially (hybrid) inverter

I’m not a seller nor an installer, but if I were in your shoe, I’ll do DIY.

Your money is not much for your taste.
From my knowledge I’d recommend this:
PowMr 1000w 80A MPPT Hybrid Inverter = 220k
3 units of Africell 200watts = 120k
C Worth 12.8V 1.3kwh battery = 240k
Cables and miscellaneous = 40k
Total = 620k



Go through those products and see their current price though.
Nobody should dare quote me for any shiiit.

if 600k is the max, ẹ go hard ó. 1.5kva inverter Na around 200k ish, even if you go diy on a 150ah lithium, you go still spend 300k. 2 450w panels Na around 180-200k. Cables and all nko? Except you want to start with joykoo 12v 100ah for 220k.

I don’t care.

If he knew what was right why didn’t he recommend?

Why have strength to quote someone if you have the same strength to correct. That’s a nonsense ideology which many Nigerians are used to.

Once again, first buy a 24v battery of your choice AND come back to tell us how much is left so we can help give you a quote. Want you buying things that you can easily upgrade. Why spend between 190,000 to 220,000 naira to buy a brand new Haisic 1.5kva or PowMr 1000w Hybrid Inverter WHEN same money could get a used 24v 2.5kva or 3kva or even 3.5kva for around 250,000 naira or slightly higher or lower. then get solar panels starting from 400w and above. Abeg don't buy anything lower.

That way, tomorrow if you got small funds, you could add more panels, and grow from there. Inverter of 3kva or 3.5kva at 24v even when USEd gives much more than than a brand new smaller one.

if you are in Lagos or Ogun state, then you have more luck
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Litewriter: 9:22pm On Mar 04
Evening bosses ....
Has anyone using haisic 1.5kva inverter experienced Error 1 before? this happens whenever there's grid outage and my inverter switches to battery/inverter mode, it'll run perfectly for like a minute, then trip off displaying Error 1 "bus soft boost start failed in inverter" according to manual.

The inverter restarts and works normally.....

na people wey dey copy architectural designs without using common sensebe that. meanWhile, even putting extra poles in front might have worked, that sef would present it's own challenge because if driver mistaknly go hit am, similar issue could still arise.

Me just prefer the roof so it's compelety out of sight.

For that video, there's no reason to even use extra poles in front if they had done what they copied well. Be like say dem no remember say solar panels heavy
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by AnaCheks(m):
Good day everyone
I need to power s shop that have
3 deep freezers (say 300-400W, 3bulbs and 2 fans. The freezers is for frozen fish, chicken.

With a budget if 1m only.

Please what capacity of battery, inverter and Panel will serve to always keep the freezers frozen

your budget of 1-million naira no fit work even if you buy all things USEd. Would suggest you at least double that budget of yours or start gradually.

Still, let's await responses of others
