sintolord:
Good day Adrusa, kindly share how you did this. Thanks

I don't know what your setup is like. It may be difficult starting from scratch, but for me, it was easy because I already had all the ingredients; a raspberry pi running Raspberry OS, the necessary cable and home assistant with utility integration helping me to sum up the daily harvest. You can also use emoncms or pvoutput if that is your thing.

I started with this code on GitHub. https://github.com/solarsnoop/PCM60X-Monitor. I then stripped it down to remove the http part. So, I ended up with a json array which I feed into nodered which then splits them up and gives me what I need. You can use MQTT if that works for you. I then feed the power into Home Assistant which does the daily summation.

Some people may suggest that you should just get a CC that does the summation without going through the trouble, but that won't necessarily work for me because I will still need to get the figure out of the CC and feed it into my system. I don't have to go the CC to see what I generated at any instant.

I can share my codes with you if you have a similar setup. No need to reinvent the wheel. FCC stands for Felicity Charge Controller

Namzy:
I use felicity too, and my batteries get fully charged although my setup is 24v with 2 luminous batteries and 340w x 8 solar panels. I'm still waiting for an adapter I bought to fully check if felicity can track daily harvest since its a clone of Pcm60x and has a RS232 port hidden inside the unit (not mentioned in the manual)

I also have a Felicity CC in action and I'm okay with it. The only problem is that it doesn't show daily harvest. I have gone round that with a data cable and a system that calculate the daily harvest from instant power. So, nothing do Felicity CC.

I don't know if you guys know how to render public opinion at all. Someone came to a conclusion and listed out why he arrived at that conclusion, all you do is insult and slam FALSE without any proof. That you don't have any issue with Kuda does not make it valid.

People are loosing money and all you do is shut them up, when your time comes, don't think you'll be given the chance to be heard.

So if you want to counter the OP's view, please raise a quality argument against and not these things I see here.

Have you had problem of logging out Kuda bank app unknowingly or due to phone problem or you got a new phone and wants to log in, and it went smoothly?

Have tried verifying if the number OP listed was correct for Kuda bank customer care?

Have you tried calling the number and was responded to by the customer care, let alone getting any response at all?

What about emails, have they responded your email before and how fast was the response?

How about showing us a screenshot of the list of Microfinance banks (MFBs) insured by NDIC, at least he asked us to check it by yourselves?
It is not correct to use an uninsured bank you know...

I have also observed many people confirming Kuda bank's poor customer care services.
I also observed FEW responses about solving the password/login issues via Web and not app. That notwithstanding, this could have been as a result of trial and error of the issue above not really a response of Kuda bank with respect to their poor app management.

I have been using something without problem is not a proof that if it ever has issues that the cost will be heavy on your side.

Meanwhile, this post was made around 6 months ago, so if you're just joining the discussion and your response is slamming FALSE on it without verifying his points, YOU'RE NOT DOING WELL!!!!


IF KUDA IS RESPONDING TO YOU, TAKE UP THIS GUYS MATTER AND SEE THAT HE IS EITHER PROVED WRONG OR JUSTICE GOTTEN FOR HIM.
He is an undergraduate for crying out loud and he lost his money with no means of letting Kuda know nor hope of getting it back.

@OP - if this matter was later solved please also share it here and let the public know about it.

Remember, what goes around always comes around.

I suspect that a lot of them are paid shill for Kuda Bank. Indeed, because of their coordinated attacks on the OP, I'm beginning to think twice about Kuda. I have been looking at their advertisement blitz and having some thoughts about using them.

But, when companies pay internet trolls to shoot down and defame legitimate complaints, rather than addressing the problems and sorting out the complaints, I take it as a bad sign.

Wise people will stay away from Kuda for now, pending better information from better sources. All of you falling for the advertisers and the trolls on this thread, you are on your own o. Don't come crying on nairaland if your school fee is trapped or chopped by Kuda o.

sorry sir, im a novice when it comes to these things. i paid my installer for 6x350watts panels which he brought, is it possible 6x350 watts charges like that in the afternoon? or he bought lesser wattage panels because i believe if i do my calculations right, i should have 2160 watts if i installed 6 panels of 350 watts and secondly, i dont constantly use 700 watts sir only the freezer is of 115watts is constantly on with the inverter with a few bulbs, i just exaggerated the consumption wattage. abeg someone should educate be b4 i shoot someones liver.

1. Don't shoot anyone at all. It is never worth the trouble at the end of the day. I know you were joking, but we are obliged to warn you in the circumstances that you are serious. We don't want to be accessory to murder.

2. Yes, like someone said above, that theoretical maximum is rarely achievable. With the current weather and dust on the panels, you will be lucky to get half of that on average for any reasonable length of time.

3. From your second picture at what should be about peak solar period, you are barely getting half of your installed capacity. Your yield will be much less before and after this peak period. This is not unusual for second tier solar panels.

4. I'm more inclined to follow my initial impression that you are not generating enough solar for use and for storage.

5. Bottom line. You need more panels. Get another installer to help you verify your initial installation and whether your panels are appropriately sized. With 6 more panels, you should start enjoying your investment if your batteries have not been permanently damaged due to poor charge-discharge cycle.

Bolatitodavies:
i took the picture around 10am, my load size is not up to 700 watts, (115watts inverter haier freezer and some bulbs with tv in all) my batteries are barely 4mths old luminous 220ah, im currently using solar as nepa units wants to send me to my village before December. and for more info, ive uploaded another picture as of 12:49pm

If your load is 700W constantly, you have little left to store in the battery going by the second picture you shared. You haven't really been fully charging your battery. You need more panels, maybe double your current number. That way, you will get your 700W during the day and still have enough to store in the battery to use in the evening/night. Hopefully, you batteries haven't become sulphated.

Bolatitodavies:
please ooo, my 4kva of 4x220ah batteries and 6×360 watts solar inverter system of switches off after 3 hours the sun sets. please house who can tell me whats wrong? attached is what my charge controller reads.

More info is required.

What time of day did you take this picture? At about 48V your battery is almost empty.
What is your load size before and after sunset?
Do you get your battery to float before sunset?
How old and what make is your battery?
What is the maximum charging current have you seen on the charge controller?
Do you also charge with NEPA or it is solar only?

There is no key that can not be duplicated. You just need the right equipment and the right locksmith.

will they be allowed to sight the moon? can they become chief imam? seems like the state government renovated the mosque at ibagwa

The important question is will they be allowed to continue to be Igbos or they will be renamed ewu hausa and be treated as outcasts even amongst their own people?

islamics:
Abeg, I get question. In the pictures below, I have two inverter connected to my battery.
The red one is use to power television, the black one is use to charge the battery. I hope there is nothing wrong?
They both don't give output simultaneously.

No, this is not a problem. You can use multiple inverters on a battery bank once you don't combine their outputs. They can supply different circuits or devices.

carreport:
I have a rockie question

When 2 inverters are connected in parallel,

Live + & Neutral - outputs from the 2 inverters are they connected together to give a single output or only the neutrals - are connected and the two live + are connected differently?

Hmmmmmmm. There is something called "phase" in alternating current (AC) which makes combining two AC sources into one difficult to achieve unlike DC. The wave of AC is sinusoidal and for you to combine two AC sources, they need to be in sync or same phase in the sine wave. That is why paralleling AC inverters require data communication between the two to achieve a stable output.

That is the long answer. The short answer is don't do it UNLESS your inverters come with accessories for paralleling them. Otherwise you may see fireworks and damage the two inverters.

KaluwisxPRO:
A whole Military university outrunned and outgunned, yet, you don’t think that is a problem? This University is less than a year old, and was built by Buratai himself. If due process was followed, that university won’t be there in the first place.

Was any feasibility study carried out before siting the university there?

Whole of Souther Nigeria is surrounded with waters, but how many Naval Base are there? You can count them on your fingers. The whole coast of Southern Nigeria is supposed to be surrounded by Naval bases, but what we have are creeks. If we’re to face external forces, a lot of Nigerian villages will be gone before military intervention.

A military university is not a military base, it is just a school. Calm down.

ShawnT:
Bro they were outgunned, outnumbered and ran out of ammo. Why won't they retreat. Do you even know how these people operate? They attack less guarded places with gun trucks and RPGs. So are you going to prove Rambo with your assault rifle of 60mags with people that come to attack you with anti aircraft guns? Won't you retreat and leave the fight for another day. See I've been there and I knw what's happening,you guys just think these people and bunch riffraffs with guns, bro they're trained.They come in large numbers to attack locations with few men and ammunition. It's not easy out there bro, only aircraft can win the war for us.

Many people don't seem to understand how these useless terrorists work. They were "attacking" a practically empty place after the soldiers have tacitly retreated. So, other than a few damages and the two innocent people killed, what exactly did this attack accomplish for ISWAP? The are launching these attacks now to give politicians talking points. I'm they have already vacated the place and are back in the bush.

Thank you

@Lalasticlala, kindly help do the needful o. I beg una.

Nairaland people, please help me with First Bank and Fluterwave o.

Two weeks ago I tried to pay West African College of Surgeon about ₦300,000 from First Bank account through Fluterwave.

The money was deducted from my account but the West African College of Surgeons has not received the money.

I have wasted so much money on calling the First Bank Customer Care to either refund my money or pay the College, but their agents have been telling me one story or the other.

Naija people, kindly help me beg First Bank and Fluterwave. Na borrow I borrow the money o.

Thank you o.

@Ojesky,

Thank you so much for your guidance on the Node-Red Configuration. You are really a nice gentleman. You have really saved me time and energy and made it simple for me. My critical appliances are now turned off at the configured threshold thereby protecting my battery. In addition, i can now throw more things at it when the sun is really shinning. Solar Energy is the best.

Cheers.

If you are not using HomeAssistant, Nodered and MQTT, you are not maximizing the utility of your solar setup.

earthrealm:
Exactly, the felicity cc is just basic..was sorely disappointed when i handled it......lacks common harvest data logging at the price of 2 units powmr.

Epsolar is beta, though more expensive

I don't understand the lack of harvest data. The thing shocked me, it was the first CC that I have that couldn't tell you how much energy you have harvested. It would have been a deal breaker for me but I'm able to get harvest data through other means.

ojeysky:
Felicity works fine but when it comes to price(powmr wins), performance(same but I tend to think powmr is more rugged) and features I will do powmr.

Alright. I actually went for Felicity at the time because I wanted the 120A. No other CC in town does that for the price.

ojeysky:
If you find epever go for that instead. I will pick a powermr cc over a Felicity CC both for price and performance

Any reason why? I have a 120A Felicity CC and I love it.

wilmaria14:
and sold it to ur father I believe na narialand give u mount if not if u see me outside boss u no fit talk

The fact some people liked this completely abusive, meaningless post is a clear evidence that this guy is using multiple accounts on nairaland.

No one in his right mind will like this naked insult that adds no value to the discussion. It is clear that this guy is a scammer.

Is there anyone experienced with Tactel Lithium battery?

https:///ojo/solar-energy-products/tactel-10kw-lithium-po4-battery-48v-bvlMO6eIkLNJtQECPVJOnz0t.html?lid=bxUvgz5ArHdE2nmQ&cur_pos=2&pos=2&ads_count=24&ads_per_page=24&page=1

Well, as I did on Felicity Lithium Battery, I have decided to answer my own question again.

I finally braved the odds and bought this battery, the 15Kwh version once advertised here by @justcallmanuel.

And the immediate experience is good. I charged it fully and did a capacity test. The battery can be discharged to 46V according to the instructions that came with it. However, because I was in a hurry and loaded it (AC, water pump and water heater, not simultaneously), my inverter cut off at 47.2V or thereabout after the battery has given me about 12.5Kwh/250AH. I believe that if I have the time to trickle discharge it with reasonable load, I may be able to get the rated 15Kwh/300AH from it.

I also opened up the battery to see the cells. The cells are unlike the regular cells we are family with. It is longer, twice the usual size and have positive and negative terminals on the opposing ends instead of being on only one side. My immediate thought is that it may be the cells used in electric vehicles.

The display on it is dumb. It is just a digital voltmeter connected to the battery terminals, so the SOC displayed is 100% unreliable.

The BMS is also dumb and looks like a BMS from Aliexpress, though there is no name on it for identification and it is heavily gummed down.

The whole package looks well built and I think it is a good buy at the price. It would have been very helpful if they had used a smart BMS, but I guess they have their reasons for their decisions.

Recommendation? Buy, if that is your sort of thing.

Boss are your advertising the battery or you want to buy?

1. The maximum wattage I've read from the charge controller is 3 kilowatts

2. I use these in the store:
30 6watts ceiling led light. 6 24 Watts ceiling led light. 1 led television. 1 standing fan. A chiller that we turn on occasionally - maybe 1hour a day. One outdoor led video display - I don't know the wattage, but we also turn it on occasionally.

I suspect that your load may be too much for the system. From what you listed, you are leaving very little to charge the battery after serving your load. I suggest that you get more panels and another charge controller.
