Good day guys I’m planning on joining 160 and 80 watts panels on my 480 watts battery (40amps) in other to increase my harvest, which connection do you think will Be better between parallel and series

Attached are the ratings on the two panels

You mean 480 watt hour battery (40AH) 12v battery? Do you have an MPPT solar charge controller?

New to this thread. Kindly show me some love.

What will the cost estimate of a complete solar system.
2kw ....2 battery system.. solar panels etc.
On the average
for an efficient 2kw solar system, u need to budget between 700k to 1million. ask for qoutes from reputable installers here.

It's no typo Bro, that's what happens when the freezer compressor shuts off.

The turbo switch should not be constantly on, its meant to be a fast track and when it gets to your desired temperature you should turn off the turbo if it doesn't go off by itself as that was how it behaved in my 219L(I have not tried the turbo on the 379L) so that may also be why you have a consistent power consumption.

That said, it could also be due to the content in the freezer, mine is just about 30% full

Goodness, I have been using these appliances wrongly all along. The switch does not disable by itself, so it's always on. I should just turn it off altogether and let the freezer do the work at its own pace. Since power supply is constant, I don't think I really need any fast freezing like that except maybe in rare cases.

They're best connected parallel in this scenario, since the nominal voltages are the same - 18v.

It's not impossible if ordering via china and using group share by sea.....it may also mean not getting good grade cells. Afterall there is "200AH" 48v felicity for less than 700k and that's after factoring first, second and maybe third party profit. It's also any it could not have been a true 200AH Lifepo4 grin

i hope, no be car battery una colobi, cos 75ah deep cycle battery is scarce. lemme just work with the battery, it will last 6 to 10hrs if the battery is charged full, but if na car battery be that, expect serious drop in runtime within 3months

I think GBM and Sunfit make 75ah deep cycle batteries.

At 50% DOD, he shouldn't expect anything more than 6hrs max.

Thanks for your prompt reply
it is a car battery and my intention is to use it for that installation only. Can it serve up to 1-2 hours?

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 7:22pm On Oct 08, 2020
Good evening,
There is no 2KW variant of the inverter but it is available in 3KW 24V & 3KW 48V variants.

I will recommend a 3KW for you based on future expansions of load and this newer version have lithium compatibility, and the cost will be between 800k to 1.2million.

And No we can not install in Abuja presently, but we can do you one better, provide every needed item that even an inexperienced engineer can't help but follow the recommended standards

From MC4 to MCB, and other needed accessories.

Inclusive after sales support,
and what budget are you working with?

kindly reach out for further explanation.

What will be the cost of 2kw on an average. And can you install in Abuja

If it's not that it's a typo, then I'd say he is looking for some naive dude to scam.

E go come be like "sir, it's full package that you will never regret buying and it's payment before delivery". Once naive dude sends money laidis, phone number go off straight.

75 watt Nasco TV. Hmmm, if that TV has no energy saving mode, then I'd say it's a gluttonous TV.

How efficient is the ECO mode on TVs? Does it really reduce power consumption?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 3:56am On Oct 09, 2020
Very efficient, I have seen for a 70inch LG drop from 130W to 105W to 90W using just eco mode and drop to 70-60W on further reduction of brightness.

Even a conventional TV can reduce consumption by playing around with its brightness and all that.
Sound power consumption is a little negligible

cc: Lovelynife

This is the theoretical aspect of this stuff, in practical we can't get upto 4 hours.

That inverter is a transformer type and has a no load current of 0.6A meaning a 7.2W will be chopped off from the primary coils. So the total wattage has increased to 82.2W.

The inverter also has a conversion efficiency of 70% assuming it's a modified sine wave which I am sure it is.

50% DoD on 75AH is 37.5AH and only 26.25AH will make it through considering 70% conversion.

So that's about 315WH on an 82.2W which is about 3 hours and 50 minutes.
It might be a little lesser if all other factors are considered.

If its a hybrid, most likely.
If its a transformer based and in good health, most likely as well. However if your inverter has adjustable charging current setting, you can lower it til the gen can carry it.

For example, my old 4ka 48v mustpower transformer inverter, my 8kva gen charges it ok at max batt charginf current of 31amps, but when i use my 2.8kva gen, i have to reduce the charging current to 7amps ,if not the gen will cough and die grin

That's good to know.
My TCL TV has that feature with the ECO mode ranging from Low to High. I always set it to High but haven't got a watt meter to check the differences in consumption.
