35pcs of 555w Jinko solar panels, 2pcs of 15kwh felicity lithium batteries, 1pcs of 10kva Felicity inverter and 1pcs of 120A felicity mppt charge controller installed and completed in Ajah, Lagos state yesterday… All items supplied by Me!!

To order yours call/whatapp me on 08168986461
35 pieces of 555w panels? 😱😱😱😱😱

Choi.

Why you using it on only 1 cc of 120a?
120a means the highest it'll use to charge the two batteries is about 6.5kwh.
With 35 of those panels, at peak you could produce 19kwh. What happens to the rest not used?
You should've got 2 mppts and you will have enough juice to pump into both batteries.

I coupled my cells with jk BMS and what you mentioned is true. At times my BMS will read 99% and 30a plus will still be charging the battery with 0.006 cell voltage difference. Just like you mentioned, users need to pay attention to pack voltage not just the battery percentage especially when one of those cells don't trigger the BMS HVD which will recalibrate the BMS. I didn't use jbd long enough to know if that's same with them. Jbd or Daly users should let us know if they experience such.
Jbd is worse. It's SOC drifts almost every time even with proper charging.
JK is far better bms.

The residential and roaming plans are currently suspended in Nigeria for new customers due to the price increase Starlink is trying to implement but the business plan is still available and you can still order for a Starlink kit under the business plan option on Starlink official website for NGN626,300 (amount is for a new standard actuated kit NGN590,000 + NGN36,300 shipping and handling fee). But i will only advise you to go for the business plan if you know you can afford the 159,000 monthly business plan subscription fee and also have it in mind that soon there is surely going to be a price increase on all Starlink subscription plans.
Not Nigeria... Residential and roaming is suspended in the entire West African countries. Coincidentally only these countries still use v2 starlink. Rest of Africa is given v3 starlink when they order. They even have starlink mini and another lower residential plan.

Make the conclusion you wish, but I think they about to change west Africa to v3 too if not why block entire west Africa using v2?

The way you guys mention the devil in everything it seems you are more scared of the devil than the God you claim to worship.
You think he doesn't have work than to go but people during their sleep.

A sensible person will hear this story and begin to ask questions to verify and eliminate all possible natural causes of the event or to even know if the narrated story is true. But you Nigerian Christians will not bother about verification and immediately say it's the devil or village people. You should change your name to devilians instead of Christians, cause I doubt it's Christ you all follow, instead it's the devil who you see in everything and give him power to do anything.

Naturally and physiologically speaking, dreams (if story is true) is only a reflection of what is happening with you and around you. If you have wet dream, it's not your dream that caused it, instead your body is releasing and your mind creates a mental drama in your head (dream) to tell you what's happening.
If an electric insect burns your hand while sleeping, your body notices the pain and could give you a mental drama in the head to narrate what's happening. Then you wake up and blame the devil.

Your starlink router only has 2 parts:

- Power board
- Mother board.

The power board only powers the router and the dish.

But you see that small tiny mother board? That's the main router. Everything you program on your router is stored there.

If you remove the mother board and add it to another starlink router power board, it'll have same name and id number and all as if you still using same router, all because everything you see in the app is stored in that small mother board.

To open a starlink router is another hell too. The gum these people used to hold the glass ehn, if dem use am gum you and your wife una no go ever fit divorce.

Okay thank you Sir

Please what size of lithium battery can I use comfortably with the 24v 5kva felicity stand alone inverter and the 4 pieces of 615w Jinko panel
Since you have a 24v inverter, your battery has to be 24v too. Most brands stop their 24v at around 5kwh. But with DIY assemblers in here they can do 10kwh or more for you with 24v.

If those panels produce 2400wh then you'll need 100a charge controller to get full juice out of your panels. Lower ones will bottleneck and limit what your panels produce into the lithium battery

QuoteJust1nce:
2Mbps * 3 devices = 6 Mbps maximum demand
6Mbps * 2 tenants = 12 Mbps maximum demand

Starlink on a bad day can still deliver nothing less than 50Mbps; leaving 38Mbps for you
On a good day, 150 - 300Mbps is not unusual, leaving 138Mbps - 288Mbps for you

Note that data usage is unlimited. You might need to reconsider. While unlimited data at 10k/2Mbps x 3 devices per month
might look good to them, there is still plenty on the table without hurting your own speed.

At least 4Mbps for a start per device; maxing it at 24Mbps
or 10Mbps per SSID maxing out at 20Mbps
This second option is preferred and each tenant can have their own SSID and share the 10Mbps speed how they like among
their devices.

But if you're on the roaming plan and in Lagos; soon to be 167k; all bets are off!
Good luck.
Do you just share WiFi password to them and limit the speed on your 3rd party router?

Do you whitelist?

The speed is far better than most Nigeria Telecom companies around here,in my own case I forced the service on two of our tenants each resident in a 1 bed apartment, I took 120k upfront from each of them and peg their speed to 2Mbps, still looking for More clients to do same for
Isn't this wickedness and you are proud of it sef.
Why will you make someone pay high and you restrict their speed to 2mbps? That can't even give a HD video experience.

I'm also sharing my starlink with people and they pay as little as 3k monthly and they can harvest whatever speed they can get.
It doesn't stop me from enjoying my starlink as I still always get a download speed of 150mbps or more myself.

Haykay2001:
actually, I don't know the type of BMS that sako use on their products. but am very sure it is not Bluetooth compatible. what I wanna be sure is, if we charge the battery to 100% back to back, will it correct the SOC readings back to what it use to be boss?
As you said, we don't know what BMS they use. So we can't be sure if it'll correct itself. But there's no harm in trying what was suggested.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ask4bk(m): 3:20pm On Jan 28, 2025
Haykay2001:
Thanks for this chief... I want to believe you are 100% right.. I want to believe so.. lately because of the dust, he said they've not been getting to 100% before the sun goes off... Would advice we get more panels and also clean the already installed ones...

How many days do we need to run at 100% before the calibration would be reset pls...? And will it automatically correct it self back?

Thanks.
I don't know what BMS you are using, but I've a battery at home that uses a Bluetooth BMS (not the JK everyone is using now but the one from another brand they were using before). Charging to a point that I know it's actually full, the BMS still reads 65%. So I entered the BMS settings from my phone, and changed the 100% voltage mark by just a little (eg 4.5v to 4.55v) and it adjusted back to 100%.

Some BMS drift away in the SOC they show you, but it does not affect the ahs capacity reading used or voltage reading. Once you hit that low voltage mark, the battery will cut off even if your BMS is mistakenly reading 50% instead of 20 or 10%.

The above was the trick I used sha. If not, invest in buying a Coulomb meter that you'll connect to your battery. I heard those don't fail in their SOC calculations. I recently got one from China that connects to my WiFi sef and I see my battery state of charge from anywhere in the world.

You are missing the Point, Once cell crosses below 3V dont expect them to have the same Voltages, or be balanced. That was what I showed in the picture. Can you proof me otherwise with a picture of cells in a 16s configuration that was discharged below 3V that have good and balanced cells.

The pack shows all cells below 3V with average these range, 2.9V 2.8, 2.7 and 2.6V.. is that an issue?

If he had cut off at wetin una dey recommend, like 3.1V he wont see any difference.
You are just contradicting yourself. If you are admitting that it's normal for cells to have different voltages below 3v, then there's no need in saying people ask you to cut low power at 3v to HIDE FLAWS. You are suggesting that these people are selling batteries with flaws and that's why they ask you to cut at 3v, even though you know that's not the case.

You really want to teach people things or give your opinions. That's really cool. But don't do it with languages or expressions that bring people down. You've sounded that way in many of your comments.

Dam5reey1:
Na so jare people are too emotional.

I only show cell behavior if you discharge them below 3V, regardless of the manufacturer same applies across, if he read between the line he will understand say na only Cell I bought, the pack was built by me.

What I was expecting is a someone to come out and show me their pack at 47V, and lets see the Cells behavior, this thread is DIY where we learn not a market place. Where we market or demarket anyone.

I once mentioned this when there was arguments about cells grades and all.

I hinted that most LFP seller will tell you charge to 3.45 and cut off at 3V so as to cover some flaws. Now that is evident.

Many went against the Pack that can reach 3.65V without OVP getting triggered and condemn seller for selling a 14.6V charger.
You are still trying so hard to bring down some good trusted hustlers for no reason.
All we do here is DIY. The battery pack you have, you didn't manufacture the battery. You got the cells, same way others in DIY got theirs, assemble and sell.

I don't know what point you trying to make by saying trusted people here tell people to not charge above 3.45v to hide flaws.... Are they the manufacturers of the cells? As one who assembles grade A LFPs, you'll simply follow the instructions of the manufacturers in charging their batteries. You won't invent your own charge/discharge protocols.

Don't talk down on good and trusted people's hustle.

BTW, I repeat what I said many months back, 98% of LFP manufacturers in the world recommend charging their batteries to 3.45v-3.55v. It doesn't mean they are hiding any flaws and doesn't mean they can't charge safely to 3.65v (just that they see it as not necessary since anything above 3.40v in LFP is just waste of charge due to LFP charge curve). Only one who doesn't understand LFP charge curve and longevity protection can say such thing. You are experienced in LFP and these shouldn't be coming out from you.

You assembled your batteries, BRAVO ! Let others do theirs too and stop making yourself look good and others bad when you and all of us here no be battery manufacturers.

Greetings

Please I need the help of everyone
Just yesterday I bought 4 pieces of jinko 615kw from fouani

It was installed on 5kva felicity inverter, 2 pieces of 220ah battery and 60ah felicity charge controller

The image below is what my charge controller is showing this afternoon, is this normal or is the connection wrong?
Added to what everyone has said, your pic indicates the CC has considered your batteries as full, so that's why you are seeing only about 200w coming in from the panels which is basically what you are using in the house at the moment of the pic.
There's no problem with that.
Just try to follow the advice of getting a better battery like lithium so that you can comfortably charge with 1400wh seeing you are using a small 60a CC. You'll never get the full power of your panels too except you change to 100a cc. Even if you do, only lithium batteries can chest that high charge current and not tubular batteries
