@cOogumo & pheleix » Thanks for sharing that LINK once again. Trojan batteries vapourises/gases more only when you equalize/desulphate or overcharge them ... All batteries have vent holes but you need an airy/open environment mostly during voltage & electrolyte equalization process which occurs seldomly and *must be handled by a professional*.. SIMPLY DIAL-UP 08135031951 FOR MORE BRIEFING ! Thanks 1 Like |

It was a wonderful experience. An experience that will remain in my memory for a long time. Richmond74 hosted me as a guest for 3 days. During which I had d opportunity to see him install those panels up in one of his numerous sites at lekki. I had d opportunity to climb up d 3 storey building with him and observe. I also had d privilege to meet some great nairalanders in d forum( though dey are silent readers ).... Also met one on one with Feasy1 ( d big boss) in one the sites. In fact, it was really a blessing. I appreciate u Oga Richmond. More blessing. Engr Joe and Mfon...God bless u guys...u're wonderful. My brother, Mr Tunde....givers never lack. May u continue to flourish in health n wealth. Thank u sir. 1 Like

@George-D and other Gurus , I need your Urgent advice on the Best 1.5KVA Inverter to buy and the best batteries to go with them. My Location is Abuja. Its urgent as I intend to move next week. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by tundebabzy: 7:05pm On Jul 13, 2014 |
viazi: @George-D and other Gurus , The best will probably be the most expensive - Magnum, Xantrex and then Tripp Lite. @abunafiu and @George_D can give their experiences with Sukam. However, take my word with a pinch of salt. |

am using luminous 1.5kva 24v with 2 units of 12v 200amphr deep cycle batts......still going steady about 18months since installation..........the only shortcoming is that it doesnt display batt life remaining in %....or batt charge % |

This is a fantastic forum and it's exciting to see all the interest in renewable energy here. I'm especially pleased to see George_D echoing my concerns about Indian inverters. After getting burned once on a Luminous (I think) inverter. I swore off them. But in the interest of thoroughness in my market research, I decided to reconsider and stumbled on this page. I have so many more pages to read and so much more to learn from you guys but I wanted to toss a couple of questions out as well. 1. I haven't seen any talk about Outback batteries despite their seemingly impressive cycle life - 1800 cycles at 50% DoD. Any thoughts? 2. If folks are interested in going entirely off-grid, is there a reason not to go with a standalone inverter instead of an inverter/charger? It appears that this approach will expand the options available and produce some lower-priced options even for premium brands. 3. In a similar vein, what about the option of standalone inverter + separate battery charger? 4. Has anyone had issues with landlords preventing solar panel installations on their rented apartments. Again, this is an impressive forum and I look forward to reading more from you guys. |

Dear friends, I found some days off my crazy schedule in the office and after resting the whole of the first day I decided to check how my renewable power setup was doing on the second. Most people would have noticed the cloudy skies especially in and around Ibadan in the last one or two weeks, my 2.7kw solar panels was delivering just about 1kw at the time I logged into the morning star mppt CC. Just then, a question came into my mind, which would be cost effective? Building a 3 day battery autonomy or installing enough panels to be able to provide the needed power during cloudy days? I think doubling required panel size might just be better because the average life span of the solar panel is like double that of the battery, moreso while panels can be added at will, it is not that advise able to add more batteries to a bank that is older than 6months. 2 Likes |

bodejohn: Just then, a question came into my mind, which would be cost effective? Building a 3 day battery autonomy or installing enough panels to be able to provide the needed power during cloudy days? There's software that let's you make the right tradeoff. Have you heard of Homer Energy Systems? |

bodejohn: Dear friends, I found some days off my crazy schedule in the office and after resting the whole of the first day I decided to check how my renewable power setup was doing on the second. It all boiled down to trade off on one side or the other. With prevailing weather, more battery autonomy would mean better security but how do u plan to charge the more battery. Which mean possibility of trading off batteries life and efficiency if present panel available cannot bring them back to full charge. Panel cost keep dropping by the day and can live longer than any batteries available today. Getting more panels to conveniently handle cloudy days will ensure better juice for batteries and even lesser cost. I am presently running my house with 520ah batteries (2 strings of 260ah batterie) and 3600W panels. If I can survive cloudy weather in Port Harcourt with this setup, you won't have reason to complain in Ibadan. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bodejohn(m): 6:47pm On Jul 17, 2014 |
salam12: I wasn't complanning as I still get enough from my panels even on rainning days. I was just looking forward to when I will be changing my current batteries. I just think it will be better to invest in more panels than more days of autonomy in the battery bank. I have often wondered why George D has that much panels... |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by salam12(m): 8:14pm On Jul 17, 2014 |
bodejohn: Please don't get me wrong with the word COMPLAIN. Just making inference to substantiate benefit of more panels vis a vis location influence. Base on weather effect, we do have more cloudy days in PH compared to Ibadan. I do pop into Ibadan every two months and already planning toward relocating to the ancient city. |

sathob: Well, great people of FTA, I think I should start this on behalf of George_D because of the request made by others who have expressed interest in alternate electricity, especially solar energy. Our FTA independence is not complete if we are to suffer frequent power outages and been dependant on the nation’s electricity grid system always. I have read in this house many times, from members “PHCN don go off, so I will track later when they come back”. No one can run away from power outages in the main electricity grid – not even the west, it happens. Hence, we all should have alternate electricity and using renewable energy is, to me, the best. This means one can enjoy their FTA fully by being totally free and not “dom” (dominated). from the above calculation, i will like to know if i can use it during the day time and now use battery for that hour at night when there is no sunlight that now use the power stored in the battery or only that hours for the whole day |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by tundebabzy: 9:49pm On Jul 22, 2014 |
olak2k8:I don't really understand your question. During the day, your solar panels will charge your batteries and keep them charged. The solar panels do not convert the sunlight directly to AC so it goes into the batteries. When there is sunlight, the batteries will be discharging but charging at the same time. By the time sunlight stops, your batteries will be in discharge only. |
