Hello bro. Happy Easter Celebrations to y'all. I want to ask if 6mm dc cable is okay, I live downstairs and by my estimate I'll need close to 30m. Is 6mm dc able okay or I should go for 10mm.

unfortunately, except I go hunting for your original comment, I'm totally lost.

When you stay away for long after initially asking questions or making comments, kindly do understand that most of us would have forgotten you existed, let alone that you asked a question or made a comment.

If I'm to blindly respond to above question, I would sugegst you go for minimum of 10mm. reason being that you don't wanna buy 30-meter of 6mm today and tomorrow when you add more panels or change config, you suddenly find yourself having a need to go for 30-meters of 10mm or bigger.

I want to presume we talking about Copper cable here because if it's Aluminium (e.g NEPA) cable, it needs be much thicker e.g 16mm instead of 6mm, 35mm or more instead of 10mm.
And if for just simple small setUp, the ones being sold in Omo Igbo shops down the street are more than enough.

We still need know your load Sir / ma

List out your loads.
Basically for a deep freezer not more than 500w, then plus a charging station to charge Lily 100 phones and say 50 power banks

Growatt inverter for a 2kw battery shocked no naa.
Shey I would just go for the cola solar 2kwh generator abi the ITEL variant
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by osayuwamwen(m): 1:34am On Apr 05
wow 6 piece of 585wat generating 3.6kw, and it is generating power more than installed capacity first time seeing panel wen nor be bificial they do so,I thought there were bificial panels

they are not bifacial, they are on the roof

Boss, This your battery no too cost like this
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Collione: 4:58am On Apr 05
bassdow:
Actually, you must not use both PV inputs. You could use just 1 except using a single one wold exceed the max PV input of the inverter.
Don't forget, using both PV inputs is similar to running two sets of solar installations as you need extra PV cables, breakers, etc.

Also insituations such as this, using 600w or 650w solar panels becomes an advantage since Oga landLord dey count panels.

if it help, get started while Oga landlord no dey so He doesn't get to see them all BECAUSE him FIT SHOCK if HE SEEs HOW BIG AND WIDE those panels are. Since 2 of una dey same compound, you suppose don know him movement hence should know whether to start very early in the morning or late in evening and finish up the next morning.
Thanks for the feedback. This helps

Hi Good morning. 6mm copper dc cable will do just fine.

Hello everyone. With a 6kw deye inverter with 2 PV input. Can I do 3s on pv1 and another 3s on PV 2 with 550 watt bifacial panels mounted on the roof. Note the landlord won't permit more panels
run them all on one PV input, 6s

100 phones no be here oo. Don't go for the power station. Are you charging only in the day time or is night included?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by HIGHESTPOPORI(m): 7:59am On Apr 05
Who have used this sunshine solar panels ,are they reliable,it seems they are made in Nigeria.

if you don't mind me asking, did the ASKer provide details of said hybrid inverter so we know it's actual capacity and if your suggestion would work with no issues ?

it's getting to a time I would stop suggestion against certain things. if they don't wanna read, it's their headAche. Constantly littering the thread with rePititive comments isn't helping the thread content quality wise.
In sanner forums, even asking a question already handled is frowned upon and could cost your account or said thread / comment closed.

Either way, OP doesn't have 100 phones to charge. OP is obviously trying to guess what they think is possible. Even if you end up charging 100 phones a day, chances are 30% of them would rarely occur simultaneously

Quick question guys, I use a prepaid meter and mostly rely on NEPA (grid) power to charge my Haisic 1.5kVA inverter and its 3.6kWh battery. Will this charging process cause my prepaid meter units to drain faster? Cos I’m beginning to think I’m spending more recharging now that I even got solar
Of course, why wouldn't it?

Na fake panel be that oh. I got the 300w variant and it does not deliver up to 50% of its capacity.

580k will get you a 4.4kwh from Mr Reed.

And additional 150k will get you 8kwh from haisic or CDO.

Who with a functioning brain will buy a 3kwh battery for 650k?

More like a charging station where people come to charge for a fee. From morning till 9pm

First of all, I appreciate your contributions on this platform honestly, I'm very confident that with people like you actively educating poorly informed ignoramuses like us on this subject matter of solar energy, we are bound to make a better buying decision.

Secondly, just like you rightly pointed, I don't have 100 phones to charge daily, however, I intend to set up a phone charging set up at very busy and central point where people come to charge for a fee, so I estimate that I might likely get I'll to 100 people coming to charge, but that may not necessarily be realistic, however, it's better to be over prepared than otherwise hence my statement.

Lastly, I have a couple of vendors trying so hard to sell me the cola solar 2000 as the best solution for carrying a 200l deep freezer and a phone/power bank charging station but having read many of the takes here, I felt very indifferent about the suggestion hence my question.

I apologize for asking the same questions that have probably been treated here when I wasn't active here, I just don't want to make any bad buying decisions. Kindly pardon my excesses.

I have someone running this business and he surpasses 120 phones and power banks in a day. So if your location is a busy one then be prepared.

The Cola Solar can't serve you if that's the case. You need a standard inverter at least 3.5kw or there about. Get a 4kwh battery, with enough solar panels you are good to go.

Greetings my great solar enthusiasts, pls which solar panel brands normally carry this S/N: YHS10083432032820570
The sticker on the panel was forged but I want to confirm the actual brand of the solar panel.
Anyone with idea on this. I was suspecting it’s a JA Solar but not quite sure.

Get a 4.2kw inverter with at least 5kwh battery and around 6pcs 600w solar panels if you really mean business as you will be pulling upward of 1kw on a good day, also to cover future expansion, don't let someone that has no practical experience and only depends on chatgpt to mislead you. There are no shortcuts in solar, you get what you pay for

just to answer questions dey tire you but you want other people to keep using their money to buy batteries for capacity testing every 3 months. Lmao
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by cyif2003(m): 4:16pm On Apr 05
Where person wey dey run charge phone biz wan hang six panels?. Most likely a small kiosk or shop... Abeg so far it's morning till 8/9 . As for me 2kva inverter with 4kwh battery will do.
