Nice, you have been using them for how long and where did you purchase them

I bought the first one in November 2020, the second one is March 2023. The two are doing well.

I am looking at FELICITY 80A because it seem like the only one that supports me remotely controlling it. I dont like going to charge controllers to check the screen all the time. I prefer to monitor everything from my ohone. The new Felicity MPPT controller supports that and seem readily available in the Nigerian market. Whats your take on FELICITY charge controllers

Felicity Charge Controller crew here. I have 2 120A models in my house serving admirably.

Don't care.
Just don't say you purchased a new Nvidia shield Pro @ $100 at anytime. The official price from day zero has been $200, the $180 you see on Amazon is just a - 10% promo.

Okay, I didn't buy it, I stole it. grin You know, I just bought ONN Android TV box for $20. I'm sure that a few years down the line, you will say that I'm lying.

I do not know the one you are using but there is no issue with the 2019 pro version.
You are obviously using the Nvidia Shield Tube and not the Nvidia Shield pro.
The tube version will lag on gaming because it's not optimized for gaming.
Also, Nvidia Tube is 2gbram/8gb rom while Shied Pro is 3gbram/16gb rom, even at that there was no time Shied Tube or Pro was sold @ $100 even in the Official store at Amazon. The Tube price has always been $150 while Pro store price @ $200. Adding all the fees in Amazon will be taking it to about $260. If they are currently selling at $180 it's likely a promo price. I prefer avoiding the Amazon fees and sales rejection wahala. Other alternatives like eBay etc work fine for me.

I used Xiami Box S and wasn't impressed a bit about the upscaling, after reading a lot of reviews on Nvidia Shield Pro I opted for it and wasn't disappointed. I ended up dashing it to my cousin Xiami Box S.
Google Tv with inbuilt Chromecast is a streaming box like Roku Tv. Most Smart TVs come with Chromecast inbuilt hence not necessary. There is nowhere you bring them near Nvidia Shield Tv.

I also do not know what the heck you mean by Shield TV 2019 coming to end of life. 2015 and 2017 versions are still being updated and supported. How then can the 2019 version be nearing the eol? There has been a rumour of new version for over 2 years now and yet the Official channel is yet to release any news of such.

The best about selling is that both seller and buyer have choices to make, I place mine at 100k and won't remove a dime from it.
You do not agree with the price you move on, commodities are sold by the value placed by the manufacturers and marketers. Buyers can only negotiate if they are allowed to or move on to the next.

I have the one you advertised. I can send you a picture if it interests you.

My brother, it's annoying.
Most of them know the price and it's not even in Nigeria market.
I purchased it from Ebay @ $250, not including the cost of the shipping.

It doesn't matter how much you bought it, people will price it based on the value they put on it. While it is true that Shield is possibly the best android TV on the market today and it has been well supported with updates so far, it is not worth a 100k at this time. It is nearing end of life and I doubt if Nvidia will update it much further. In addition, Xiaomi Box S and Google TV with Chromecast are cheaper and are equally capable. The gaming on the shield is almost useless. My children do not use it for gaming despite the fact that I bought a game controller with it.

I can not pay more than 50k for Nvidia Shield at this time. I don't think it is worth more than that. Others may be able to pay a lot more if they value it for more. There was probably a time I would have paid 100k or more for it, but not now and not any more. By the way, I paid $100 for mine during an Amazon sale long time ago and it is currently $180 now on Amazon.

Nigerians and the mentality of using full confidence to go for used gadgets like phones, as if the dealers are endorsed by the manufacturers of the gadgets.

They even buy the gadgets from online dealers who are also Nigerians.

Then, they later shamelessly complain.

There are genuine online dealers. It is just that there are too many crooks among our youths. How can you chop somebody's 500k and give him a faulty phone and you hope to last till xmas without you and your family being kidnapped or killed by bandits? It is not a curse, it is karma.

What charge controller do you have? Felicity mppt 80a

How are your panels stringed and connected? The formal installer did 2 series to 4 parallel but I just changed it to 4 series to 2 parallel

What is the state of your battery when you wake up in the morning? Usually dead

Do you use NEPA to charge your batteries? Yes when there is light but when there is no light and sun is shining bright it will still die

Sounds like you do have a serious issue then. All these answers checked out well. You should certainly get more than what you are getting. You need someone truly knowledgeable to help you review the installation. One other quick thing that you can check is if your Charge controller is set to limit the charging current.

I have 8 300w panels for my 48v system but my charge controller rarely reads above 400w. What connection should I do for the panels?

What charge controller do you have?
How are your panels stringed and connected?
What is the state of your battery when you wake up in the morning?
Do you use NEPA to charge your batteries?

A yield of 400W from a 2400W array is terrible. But, it may be perfectly normal if your battery is usually charged with NEPA and is full most of the time.

TechGeek777:


Nice, in the first bolded above you said daily generated wattage is invisible, and the second bolded you said it shows the accumulated yield per day.

Please are both statement not the same thing?

Can you please explain more?

Yes, both statements are correct. The charge controller itself does not show accumulated KWh, but when you use the available python codes to monitor the controller, you can generate the accumulated Kwh. That is what I'm doing. Once you can monitor the instantaneous power, you can programmatically generate accumulated energy.

Ignore Felicity CC, as 310k-355k can get you 80A Fangpusun Flexmax depending on your source.

Below is a user review about the growatt CC from signaturesolarDOTcom

My es5000 inverter was maxed out on solar so I added this. Setup was very similar to my inverters. Device wasn’t too heavy so mounting it myself was easy enough. No issues after 1 month, device has been working great.

1 minor complaint is that I can’t see the individual mppt’s outputs, just total.
The other complaint is that this device isn’t supported by solar assistant (not Growatt fault, but something to keep in mind)

The Felicity Charge Controllers are quiet good actually. It is lithium-friendly and appears to be durable. Yes, you can not see how much you generated at the end of the day, but that is a minor annoyance. It works with MPP Solar's MPPTracker and other python programmes to read the data. The picture below is the reading of my 2 Felicity Charge Controllers (FCC1 and FCC2) showing the instantaneous power, current and accumulated yield/day.

What type of LFP cells? S168 LFP cells?

It may be a type of what is called "Blade Battery". It is longer than the normal LFP cells and have the terminals at opposite ends.

I have this Tactel/Chevron 15KWh LFP that is made up cells with terminals at both ends as in the picture. Is anyone here familiar with that kind of LFP cells? Are they available in the market?

I thought it was just 9.6kwh but when I realized it was 40kwh, I was surprised.
Over 7m for battery bought this year and not enjoying the ROI is very painful.
I pray nothing happens to them now. It's too early.
Please, let us know your pv type and if possible check the harvest from your inverter and the position of the pv.
I'll advise you shut down the entire loads in the house, charge the battery to full and allow it to power the same 2000w or 3000w loads while you monitor the duration.
Make sure you check the battery settings again before you start the process.
If bluethooth bms is attached, monitor the individual cells in the process of charging and discharging.
Fake capacities everywhere. God will see us through.
All the best.

Monitoring the Indvidual cells in a LFP is very important. It sometimes takes a single cell to take the whole pack down. A smart BMS is a must if you want to prolong the life of your battery.

I have this 48V 3kw inverter for sale for the off-grid crew. It is open box, tested working. It is inverter only, no charger.

I kept it as a backup but realised that I probably will not need it.

First, Lati doesn't have to have a printing press to get a printing contract from the govt.
I have secured contracts from the US govt to supply products that I don't produce or even have any idea of how they are made.
What's important is that , I have to source the product and deliver.
Govt contract is crazy in any part of the world. Govt money is the easiest money to make once you get into the circle. To enter na wahala
In the US, the govt will pay you 2 to 10 dollars for a bulb that anyone can but in a store for less then 50 cent.
Everything govt is usually priced way up than in private businesses.
The only thing is that you must supply or provide the services for which you are being paid for.
For example, the US actually gave contracts to people to supply Covid products for millions or billions of dollars to people who have zero experience or knowledge of what is needed and some didn't even supply what they got paid for.
Some are getting prosecuted as we speak. But that doesn't mean that some didn't get away with it.
This is Investigative Journalism and we need more of it. But they cannot lie to expose another lie.
You have to be objective and truthful.

Thank you. This is the kind of lazy journalism that our hacktivists are using to try to turn people against government. It doesn't matter whether "Lati" is an area boy or mechanic, if he registers a company, bids for a contract and wins, all that is required is to find out IF HE DELIVERS. Most petty contractors who do supplies are basically middle men. The most important and relevant question is performance, not qualifications or offices.

Our installers please take necessary precautions while doing your job. Get gloves, wear appropriate booths, get harness to prevent falls, survey the area you intend to work to identify all potential dangers and avoid them. If possible avoid metal ladders, go for wooden ladders. God will not same us. As we are searching for what to eat, may we not run into what will eat us.

Pls bell my curiosity. For 2 colleagues installations, curious as to which would be more efficient. A 2kva12v hybrid inverter connected to a 12v200ah lithium battery and a 4.2kva24v hybrid inverter connected to a 24v100ah lithium battery. Both using 2 415watt jasolar panels. Would there be any difference also in the charging time and discharge rate assuming same loads? Thanks

24v100AH will be slightly better because of the greater efficiency of the higher voltage, lower current and lower power loss through heat. It will be slight. However the self-consumption of the inverters may eliminate or even reverse the differentials in efficiency.
