You quote your max budget so those making recommendations would know what to do. Some products are much CHEAPer than the other.

Also specify if you're after NEW or USEd ones.
I just want something within the range of 250K-350K for inverter.

As per battery, I'm open to options.

I want new, is there anyone who will prefer used?

Hi guys I want to order this charge controller from CDcare but I need to ask before I do..

Hope say nah correct Mppt cc and not glorified pwm..

Is this better than felicity 45amps cause this is 60amp and the price difference is 4k…

I’m on 12v system o with 2.5kwh lifepo4 battery….

Your advice bosses

SRNE is a good brand BUT doubt that's 60Amps because I got the 60Amps and higher. That one on the image is obviously probably 45Amps or thereAbout.

Also when it comes to Felicity, better you buy from where you trust as FAKE plenty for market. Better still buy from their office.

Morning all, please I have a question:
I have 10 400w panels and intend to buy an Inverter with 2 strings, is it possible to put the 10 400w on one string and put 10 590w on the other string?
Thank you.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by cyif2003(m): 8:35am On May 15
When u mean 2 strings I guess u mean dual mppt charger. Yes u can put Dem on differnet in built mppt charger.

Yes that's what I mean. So the difference in PV wattage of the 2 strings doesn't matter abi? The Inverter will be able to use both 4kw and 5.9kw inputs without difficulty, confusion, etc.

Thanks

No single mention of the specs of the inverter, any answer given to you now is assumptions

Guy the thunders for Benin last night na something else. Many inverters go waka as you talk.

Thank God i just close eye do all the necessary things wen i set up my system. No matter the thunders, my mind nor dey move.

Heating takes much energy. No way to circumvent that.

Just calculate the heater you have and buy inverter as appropriate.
i know they consume power, but bringing it here maybe anyone might have used one with a lower wattage.

Tbh earthing & thunder arrestor can't really save your inverter from better lightning strike... Just dey pray make e no happen 😂

You can provided you did not exceed the voltage rating of the inbuilt mppt.

Yes it doesn't matter. Each of those points cab basically be seen as separate charge controllers. In fact you could even put 8pcs of 400w on one point and 5pcs of 600w on the other point so long it's within their individual capacities.

To not stress yourself looking for inverters with such feature, just go for groWatt.

A white man once told me that presence of an Arrestor could increase your chances of being Thundered.

But most times, Earthing does it's work except when not properly DONE or when your Village people mean you.

Another reason I tell people, if you KNOW cost of that inverter wasn't so easy for you to afford, respect yourSelf and buy transformer based inverter ELSE tranformerLess is more battery Efficient at Night. During the day, doesn't matter much as sunLight dey.

In other words, Earthing is NECESSARY, for Thunder Arrestor, do it if you like BUT don't necessarily count on it. It's like the Warantee + Guarantee of some companies: would leaves you hanging when you need it.

Ah that’s confirmed no much thunder for my area but 3 people already brought in inverters to my shop for repair due to thunderstorm

Well are you trying to say transformer based inverters resist thunderstorms more and non transformer are prone to thunderstorms?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by codemaster2much: 8:15pm On May 15
is this inverter a rugged and reliable inverter, please who have used it or know of it, can it charge lithium,

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by jossy468(m): 9:06pm On May 15
Good evening guys... I want to buy this cworth 2.56kwh at Lagos.. I went to alaba and I was seeing different price.. 330k, 350k and 450k.. They all look alike with warranty card and seal..

Please where can I get original one?

they can go bad, doesn't mean it's that easy going bad. There even are those without Earthings that have survived though using cheap TransformerLess inverters without proper earthing and other safety precautions in place is more like gamble BUT that doesn't mean they spoil any how.

meanWhile, my 48v system (Transformer based) been Problem FREE for over 10-years and without Earthing or the likes. In fact na just a single breaker switch between the solar panels and charge controller e get and I even added that because there was a time I was doing something funny with just the panels.

Yeah I know I should do better

what makes you think those ain't ORIGINAL abi na until you see person wey go advertise price as 800,000 naira you go call am Original. See eh, those price ranges are similar. Sellers add prices based on different reasons including greed. That one of 450k could later agree350k or even lower if you don't know better.

Person like mua go first price that person of 330k 250k to test the waters and see how low I could get. Let's assume we later agree on 290k, I make a mental note and try my luck with one of 350k and 450k while being armed with the lowest price I got from bargaining elseWhere. One way or the other, give or take, We go reach to root of the main eVil.

Don't worry, brands such as cWorth no dey get FAKE because they're already too LOW enough to be FAKEd . FAKErs targets very popular brands and products

if you are looking to buy both of those things in the picture, ensure YOu don't miss out on that charge Controller. It's super premium. It's for those who can't afford the likes of morningStar but still wants such quality.

As for the inverter, what do I know ?

What I am saying is Probability of One is so much HIGHer than the Other especially if it's quality ones and not those with Aluminium alloys in the copper coil or with cheap components.

FUnny enough, someOne's CHEAP transformerLess inverter fit even last much Longer than another person's expensive Transformer based inverter. Some of this China products dey do boJuBoJu sometimes. Some China products na premium. na by mistake person dey see them
