WHO CAN RECOMMEND ANY DECENT STEAM IRON LESS THAN 1300W, i have tried 3 different types, that are poor quality
hv tried the following.

1. https://www./steam-iron-sonik-mpg156185.html - was a bit fair, leaked water though, lasted some months 1.1kw

2. https://www./kinelco-steam-and-spray-pressing-iron-14325789.html?seller_product=1 -- absolute junk, leaked water like craxy 1.2kw

3.https://www./generic-travel-steam-iron-generator-iron-32403306.html?seller_product=1 - a PITA to iron with, too small, and small water tank, doesnt heat up very well, but has outlasted the above 2, very compact, with dual voltage switch, its my regular travel companion, 800w.

am considering this, has anyone used it? scanfrost is a fairly decent brand, so am hoping this one will be good too

yeah its tough 78ft is about 25meters, and at 1k per meter, it would cost you 26k

hv u chked the charts to be sure u cant use 6mm cable?, u hv an mppt controller?, whats ur config like??, 6mmdual cable is 600naira or so

I prefer 10mm because of future expansion.

I prefer 10mm because of future expansion. I am presently using a 40amp pwm I got from ali express . And I still have another 60a pwm. I reason that it is better to manage a pwm and have light than continue burning 500 naira fuel every 4 days while I save for an mppt controller.

Can the gurus in the house please shed some light on this issue. It's about battery bank construction and selection .

Scenario 1
Battery 2v 500 ah or 12v 200ah
Which of these two is more rugged and easy to manage.in Nigerian terms (dey last).

Scenario 2
Battery bank volt selection.(24v or 48v)
Which is easier to manage and rugged.(dey last)


I know banks mostly go for 2volts batteries to build their battery banks . Installers pls contribute why most houses opt for 12v batteries.

I started my solar journey with 2v 500 ah batteries.no solar panels . (12v 500 ah). Making a total of 6 batteries. I no go lie being the first time using inverter . having light is to sweet , until I hear the inverter screaming and begging to be shut down before I go off. This abuse lasted for almost 3yrs. Before I moved on to using 12v200ah battery(48v) system.
we are all learning and sharing our experiences
I am currently on( 24v )system..
Pls house , installers contribute thanks in advance .

If you have an axpert Mks 3kva inverter like the picture, did it have the parameters to charge this lithium battery?

Yes, easy to program bulk, float and Low battery disconnect.
We prefer to let the inverter shut off before the battery BMS acts.

any that has equalization setting, fangpusun victron clone doesnt hv, so be ware. however if you grid supply is fair, and ur inverter has equalization capability, then u can use it to equalize, equalization is done every 1month or 2months, and prevents sulphation n stratification of the electrolyte
the one I sell does, just ask me to activate it for you

either the binatone avs inbuilt wattmeter isnt accurate, polystar do wayo and installed a smaller 1hp compressor inside grin grin,
would suggest u try with another watt meter, or put a known load on the binatone avs n compare watt readings
I suspect the compressor to be 1hp

Anyone know of any app/software that I can use to get better information from the MPP solar GK series? The watchpower mobile app is quite basic, can't even access historical data/graph through it.

How can your inverter accept both? From the pic is either you are using a 12v inverter or a 6v inverter[which i haven't seen]. Let's say you have 4 x 12v 200ah batteries and you are looking for an inverter you can get a 12v 24v or 48v inverter which will influence how you connect said batteries eg a 48v system will need 4x 12v connected in series making a 48v 200ah battery connection the 24v will requires a series parallel connection to achieve 24 v 400ah and so on

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by litaninja(m): 9:51pm On Jul 25, 2019
From some posts on here and other sources, if I understand correctly, that Fangpusan Clone should work similar to the Victron, Voltronic & MPP Solar Series equipment.

Therefore, 2 good places to look at are the links below

https://github.com/jblance/mpp-solar
Python communication package for that series of equipment

https://github.com/njfaria/SolPipLog
A data logger project for same series

Depending on how handy you are with the raspberry / linux, the basic idea is that following or borrowing from one of those projects, one should be able to get plain data from the Fangpusan (json or whatever format its outputting), put it in a database (most likely Influxdb) and analyse with Grafana.

Data should be available via a serial interface (serial-usb or usb-serial converter, bigrovar pointed me in direction of the one he used for EMONcms), and should not be difficult to manipulate in python.



Planning to do something similar, but time never dey.

Pranil and Bigrovar should be able to shed some light as it appears they run similar equipment / data collection tools.

funken:
Been following this thread keenly for sometime. Does anyone know how to get data out of a Fangpusun solarblue clone150/60 CC for analysis on maybe Grafana on a raspberry pi? Would appreciate if you could point me in the the right direction. Thanks
