Leave solar for now, you've got bigger problems already

BigDickProblems:
Good day guys,

I have 350k set aside for solar installation, and I intend to use it for 2 laptops, 2 Fans and my gadgets. That's all. I don't mind just a solar panel and one battery.

Kindly advise me if this is feasible. If yes, Where can I get this stuff. Thanks.

How are they comfortable staying with you without plans to look for their apartment? 😂...I won't be that comfortable, though, as I would feel guilty about not contributing to the rent or running the house even without being prompted. People are wired differently, though 😂 I hope their knacking does not disturb your sleep, though 🫣🤭🤣🤣

casualobserver:

Why a breaker allowed current above its rating for 5 minutes still doesn’t.

That said I can understand a hypothetical scenario where a switch is rated for say 30A, a breaker for 50A and current of 45A flows and causes a fire at the switch and the breaker doesn’t trip because it is within the limit of the current passing through, allowing the current to continue to do damage. I can’t wrap my head around a current of 60A flowing in this hypothetical scenario and the breaker 50A remaining live long enough for damage to be done at the 30A switch.

There are different types of MCBs, and they each have a specific Trip Curve.
Type B and C, the ones we typically use at home takes about 5 seconds to trip when 5 times it's rated current passes thru it.

Fuses on the other hand will break at it's rated current.
Fuses are fast acting, while MCBs will be giving you final warning for several days before grudginly taking action.

Nice one... but check the bolded again. A typical 30L water heater takes about 15 to 20 minutes to reach the setpoint.

adrusa:
And even then my system would have shut down because my pumping machine drawing about 2KW and my water heater drawing about 1.5KW still came on at 4:00AM and 5:00AM respectively. Pump for 25 minutes and heater for 90 minutes. Voltage would have gone down low enough to trip the inverter.

If you are not using lithium batteries, you can not appreciate its resilience.

brightk:
quite understandable. i need your ideas on this... Assuming i have a hybrid inverter whose maximum mppt input it 4kw and i oversize my panels to 7 kilowatt incase of cloudy days.. Does it mean that my hybrid inverter will clip the power to 4kw only during sunny days?

Yes, the max solar power will be clipped at 4000w.

FEGEITOK:
...I found out I could buy at Lagos prices in Abuja and not have to pay for transportation and wait for them to be delivered.

Link me up with the Abuja connect, as i want to get more Jinko panels. Thanks.

Hello guys,
Anyone sell a wifi MCB? Anything from 10A and above.

We are indeed in a perilous time.

I was here o!
History must be made today...

Guys, Is there anyone with a 1000 amps Victron Lynx Shunt - VE.CAN?

Enjoy...

1HP inverter aircon and 2 Led bulbs will consume around 500w*9hrs = 4.5kWh.

A 3kVA 24Vdc Hybrid inverter and
280Ah 24Vdc diy Lithium bank will do the trick.
Total cost less than N1m.

AshipaEk0:
Please recommend a setup design for me.

Beginner.

Solar Panels may not be possible this time (due to location and cost) but would prefer a system where adding panels would be easy later.


Max Load:

Lights = 150 watts total (all won't be on at once)

Fans: 60 x 3 = 180 W total (not all at once)

1 HP Split AC (TUNDRA) = can't find rating. Spec sheet says 5.7A Max

1 TV. = 120 W Max

1 Decoders, 1 TV Box = 30 Watts

1 Laptop. = 65 Watts

Obligatory phones charging

Around 500Watts excluding AC



1 Deep Freezer ***** ( I think this will only run at daytime if I install solar)

Major requirement:
Power AC and 2 security lights only through the night. 9 hours

I got that picture from one of my contacts... I hope to attend the next one.

zeestone99:


Baba give us update na.

Trying to locate Niyi…

samir101ng:


As in eh. Was planning to attend from Abuja but my plans changed. It will be good to see others attend.

Niyi na one of them

samir101ng:


If una only know the amount of regulators & players in this forum eh !!

Dem full here boku.

I no go name names sha

@samir101ng, You're doing the Lord's work. Many thanks for your rich well researched posts.

AC and DC breakers in same DB.

olopan:
Can anyone check and see what's wrong in this installation picture?

If you slip and fall/lean on that Victron inverter, that's a serious incident waiting to happen
Do you have air vents in that box to allow airflow through the unit from down - up ?

NiyiOmoIyunade:

See below some older pre cleanup pics of the system...

I'll check my mail.
No, I no longer use them as I can program the Quattro to switch based on all sorts of condition.

netotse:


@Barezzi
Sent you an email, been meaning to reach out to ask about your setup, do you still use the voltage controlled switches?

How mush?
I am finally ready to embrace Lithium.

luvlyoracle:
Started reading this thread from begining to increase my knowledge I said lemme point this out

Where person fit get better ebike in Naija?

mctfopt:
FYI: I've used both lithium ion and lifepo4 on an ebike, the difference is super clear.

carreport:

Its basically involves combining the output of the two inverters after connecting the parallel kits

At bolded, it depends on the inverter model.

At bolded, this is the first time I'm taking you serious! You're well informed. Things are happening at a very accelerated and scripted rate.

It's a because you want to feel valuable that a guy is spending on you. But we only spend the bonus they gave us when we recharge

The goal of a call is to talk. Not feel important

Beautiful installation.
Just replace that knife switch(MTS) with an adequately sized ATS and see perfect beauty .

BeeBeeOoh:
It depends on the kind of lady you are dating.


I had a problem with my woman some time ago reason is because I ran out of cash which resulted me borrowing money from my manche, my woman didn't take it lightly oh. She said, why should I borrow from a friend when she has more than the money sleeping in her account and she isn't using it to do anything at that moment?. Brothers and sisters, no be small issue like this o.

She said Nnaa, if I can't help you when you're in need then why am i your lover or friend in the first place?. Mehn! I marvelled I swear.

So, e get one day I stylishly asked her to help me with 10k, babe gave me her ATM and told me to collect 20k. O boy, I no know wetin I go talk, I collected the money, kept it for 2wks, then used it to get her a very nice gown and a sexy sandals. Mind you she never mentioned about paying her back.

Then on 21st April which is my birthday, babe said that I should prepare that she wanna take me out and I thought it's just normal taking out o, no be small thing. Babe took me to Onitsha mall, she bought a birthday cake and wine for me, we entered one shop there A**.ng(if you know OSHA mall, you'll know this shop), babe said, Nnaa, take whatever you like, at first, I thought she was joking but she isn't.

Brother and sisters on NL, this babe got my surprise surprised, I took 2 Pakistani jeans(a trouser and a short) which cost more than 20k, took 2 T-shirts which is roughly 15k, babe wanna buy pams that is more than 10k for me I rejected because she don over spend jare, I was just smiling sheepishly, in fact, my legs no fit carry me at that moment. I've never experienced such in my life before. At some point, I begin to wonder if this is truly a naija babe because I never expererit.

That's why I always laugh whenever my NL goons keep on bashing our naija babes, but me I dey always ask God to bless Nigerian girls who doesn't see relationship as a meal ticket or a one way street or a poverty alleviation scheme. Relationship ought to be a two way street, you rub my back, I rub my back that's it.
