Well, that poor solar yield will refill his batteries, while yours will still be struggling at bulk stage
Seriously though, i may sell one of my kidneys to go Lithium. My goal is a 400Ah LTO bank

NiyiOmoIyunade:
One thing that also came out to me was that given a series of low sun cloudy days with poor solar yield where I get only 4kwh daily and no help from the grid, I can flog my 800Ah Lead Acid bank 15Kwh between sunset and sunup for 3 days straight without service interruption whereas Oga Dapsyra with his 400Ah LTO acquired for maybe three times the price of my Lead Acid would probably conk out by the end of day two except he throttles back his consumption.

@GeorgeD1,
If i remember correctly, the conversion is not 1:1 It's more like 3:1
A 300Ah Lead Acid (LA) battery bank is roughly equivalent to a 100Ah Lithium bank.

Your current LA capacity is roughly equivalent to a 260Ah Lithium bank... about N6m using your example.

Remember that your 780Ah bank has a usable capacity of 390Ah. A 300Ah Lithium equivalent should give you better value.

Correct me if i'm wrong @chris81964/dapsyra, you can grow your Lithium bank gradually. Start with 100Ah, and grow to 300Ah at anytime.
Unlike LA where one is limited to a max 3-month window to add new batteries.

These are really beautiful pics...

Very lovely! Wish you a happy marriage.
No fighting o

No, there's only DC between PV array and CC.
You can install it between your inverter and DB, provided it's single phase.

davodyguy:
Thanks

so its between CC and Panels?

.

NDM1-125: is the model number of your mcb.
C100: is it's current/curve rating.
230v: is it's operating voltage.

In summary, it's a 100A mcb for use in single phase AC applications.

davodyguy:
Hello my people. (NiyiOmoIyunade)

I got the attached 125amps CB.

I'm wondering where I should put it.

1. Between Panels and CC or
2. Between CC and 2*200Ah batteries?

Panels are 270 watts *3 plus 250 watts= 1060 watts
CC= 40A E-Smart

Regards

I'm not sure i see the issue here.
If miraculously his 4.5kw array deliver 100% power, the cc will simply throttle the current.

@Nonoski, from the 2 pole breaker to the battery(cc to battery) should be rated 100A, not 63A dc.

babaegun:
...I believe you may experience 100% or better performance on your panels one day.

There's a daily limit of 5 or 10k if i remember correctly. Her life savings was prolly under 10k

Brilliant submission as usual oga NiyiOmoIyunade

It'll crash soon.
The red flags are everywhere.

1. Promos to drive new registrations
2. New Products with higher yields/roi
3. New Products with "longer" maturity
4. Bandwagon effect. Suddenly everyone is in on it. Lol

I predict it'll crash by last quarter of this year.

As usual, always play with money you can afford to lose.

Wonders shall never end

We're really in trouble in this country!

Agc (amazon gift cards) or amazon checkout.
1. Buy agc at between 275 and 290 N/$ depending on the merchant.
2. Redeem in your amazon account.
3. Purchase away with reckless abandon... Lol

bigrovar:
show us the way

Nah brah! You can get it at even 280 Matt 7:7

mank1234:
Amazon rate is not obtainable here. It's misleading. The best you can get is 320. And even at that it's still cheaper.

If you're single, then you no get wahala. A wife will test your patience in renewable energy and self sufficiency. Don't quote me o, I'm on my 5th bottle of beer.

mank1234:
Duplex ke. That's a large compound housing 6 flats - 2 on each floor. It's for one flat only.

Big decision. 4 more panels will bring your PV array to 1.95kw.
With typical system inefficiencies and looking at that duplex, are you saying you can live on barely 6kwh to 8kwh daily?

mank1234:
When 4 more panel is added, it will be taken to the roof and public electricity cut off .

His house prolly got burnt down from solar power gone wrong, hence his conspicuous absence

Na yoke I dey yoke o...

DMerciful:
Just wondering where the founder(sathob) of this beautiful thread is. A wonderful thread indeed.
Regards to him.

Orientation ke! This is akin to askin folks to quit buying Toyota's, cos of several recalls by the manufacture. Buy Honda instead

kiekie1:
Nevertheless, most client prefers hybrid systems even after vivid orientation .. It's well !

Pictures or you know the drill...

Dam5reey:
Sun intensity at the highest in Lagos...
Time to get real panel production..
Now getting 195.8watts out of 220w

Yes Dapsyra, I'm very much interested in same spec below.

NiyiOmoIyunade:
Biko tell me the price expectation (landed cost to Lagos) for a 48v 500AH equivalent battery bank - I know people who would be happy to give this battery technology a try.
.
I can PM you directly if you prefer.

That's the beauty of choice. With a large enough pv array, you're at liberty to do and undo.

pranil:
I beg to differ 01 should be UTI- Unless you prefer the power coming from inverter even if the grid is available.

Yup, you're correct. Mine is set to SOL (Solar charging only)

To enjoy full charging from NEPA and solar the 16 should be set at - SNU ( use grid and solar to keep batteries charged) - changing this setting to CSO will stop the inverter charging from Grid whenever there is sunlight essentially 8 am to 6 PM it can be used only when you have a large PV system and almost no consumption during the day

The wahala is that you're not even getting the 15A sef... This matter is spiritual baba!

Increase your pv array to max out the 50A solar charger. No need for a new CC at this time.
I suspect you have a 400Ah 48Vdc battery bank.

sinistrian:
Program 1 is UTI
Program 2 is 60A
Program 11 is currently set to 15A (that's the maximum value supported on the 3kva 48V)
Program 16 is CSO

I was hoping it was a settings issue and I've gone through the manual from cover to cover. Imagine having power for a whole day and the Inverter is using a tiny fraction of current to apply on batteries at 33% SOC. If not for the sun that came out the following day ...

Confirm Setting 11: "Maximum utility charging current" is set appropriately.
Confirm Setting 16: "Charger source priority" is set to CSO or SNU.

I'm fully off-grid now, but i remember adjusting those settings whenever i wanted to charge from the grid.

Edit: i see Niyi already addressed you...In addition, don't change Setting 01 to UTI. Doing so, your panels will never charge your batteries unless the grid fails. Set it to SBU or SOL.

sinistrian:
Who is familiar with Axpert inverters here? I have an issue where the AC charger refuses to output anything more than 3.8A (no matter how low the battery is) but once the sun rises and the Panels take over I see currents of up to 23A, when the sun sets and it reverts to utility charging, its 2.6A or less.

Very enlightening post. Thanks OP!

Yes, the speed here is reasonable. I get up 7mbps download speeds on average.
What's the solution?

alkanes1:
Is 9mobile fast in your area. If so there's a solution for unlimited browsing

I am equally interested in a plan for heavy users...
That Etisalat own no go work. By the time i stream a movie or two from Netflix, e go finish in a day.

I need an unlimited monthly plan.

Maybe i'm seething with jealousy and envy

DMerciful:
To make a comparative analysis you have to keep certain variables constant. I did not change my loads to get this harvest infact nobody was at home just my regular loads on inverter. Also you did not question the numbers shared for the premium panels but you want to question the conditions surrounding this one

This is not entirely true, as harvest is proportional to usage.
You squeeze every juice from your array cos house energy usage far outweighs production, hence your fantastic efficiency numbers.

DMerciful:
...For instance the pic attached is my harvest today from a 1.5kw sunshine panels. Meaning if I have 6kw of sunshine, I will be doing 21.2kwh...

I am not sure we have Outback cc users here
