Please I need a good Solar Inverter technician to inspect my solar set up around Mowe. I don't seems to be getting an ultimum charge for my set up.

Any reliable contact please?

NiyiOmoIyunade:
XH M611 on AliExpress if on a budget.

Victron Battery protect if you have a fat wallet.

Victron BMV if you want monitoring as well.

Most of these options you are using them to send a signal to activate/deactivate a relay/contactor coil to cut off the inverter AC output.

This is absolutely helpful. Thank you

Okay, I understand

Please house, is there to set my inverter to start the low battery alarm at $11.5 v instead of the current 11.1v

gadgetplanetng:
This inverter looks like a huge load already

Please speak in simple terms, I am new to these inverter things. I only installed my 2.5kva last week

bigrovar:
A lot of variable goes into solar panels that could be the problem. One thing seem show though. You are not generating enough and your load is still too high. Both side of the equation needs attention.

On the generation side, you have a 1200w panel. But how much generation do you have on a daily. What is your peak generation and how much average daily generation. Most modern controllers have some form of logs that allows you to check their daily harvest. You might also want to check that the controller is doing in peak sun hours of around 11:20-13:00. Let us start from there before we move on.

500w is too much load for a 1200w panel. Remember that you have to generate to meet your day load and change the battery over night.
Standard installation planning requires you to account for losses (Heat, wiring and lack of optimal panel positioning losses). As a general rule, it is good practice to derate your panel by 25%. That is assume 30% of your rated panel capacity would be lost during the harvest.

Using the figure you posted 1200w * 0.75 - 900w
Multiply that figure by 3 or 4 hours (Depending on your location and the number of good solar sun hours you get in a day) Don't be tempted to use high figures because this is about planning and it is ok to be a bit conversative especially as you account for rainy months.

I would use 4 sun hours.

900 * 4 = 3,600wh or 3.6kwh. This is the average daily yield your panel should have. It can be higher on a good day and for a well installed system but just slightly.

Your battery is a 5kwh bank

Your daily usage is from your post of 500w daily and 300w night load. Your night load is already about 3600wh. You are barely able to change the over night load if you don't use the system during the day.

When you add 500w on the system during the day, you have nothing left to charge the battery.

recommended course of action. Reduce your load (the cheaper and best option)
Or increase your panels. You would need an additional 3kw panel array to meet your current usage.

Thank you. I find this really helpful.

One more thing, my battery was drained over night to 11.1v before the alarm came up. I read that this is really bad for the battery life.

Is there a way to set it to start the alarm once the battery reaches 11.5v or higher?

The picture below is the inverter I use.

Penuelseun:
Your charge voltage should be around 29.5v depending on your battery type. Hope you are not undercharging your batteries

My fully charge voltage is usually 29.3v

I recently installed a solar inverter system with the following setup:

1. 4 solar panels (each 300watt) = total 1200watt
2. 24v inverter system
3. 2 units of 230amp battery
4. 60amp PWM charge controller

My load at max capacity is 500 watt and could go as low as 300watt during midnight hours.

But I noticed that my battery charge depletes faster than its charging, is it supposed to be so? What i mean is, my battery could be 26v after fully charged with no load, but after 4 hours of use, it falls down to 24.5v even when the solar panel is still charging the system.

So I am beginning to wonder if this is normal or there is a problem with my system configuration or the charge controller itself since i am using a PWM cc.

Please gurus in the house, i need your input.

Thank you

Nothing to see here, just a normal happenings in the zoo.

Thiefnibu will be disgraced at the last hour, and they will leave him stranded. Even money to go Otuoke him no go see

Greener pasture or greener diiick?

What health conditions are you suffering from? Maybe you can throw some light, only then can help come.

Rip to this young lad.

Parents needs to understand that the disadvantages of sending a child to a boarding school outweighs the advantage.

Fact is that Couples who are lazy at parenting are quick to enrol their kids in a boarding school.

I no dey like be FTC for this kind of news.

This Siofra girl will die of lack of attention is Nairaland goes offline for a day.

If you have the money, go and open your own business, No civil servant makes it in life. Imgaine u till now I still dey work for person .because say I been civil servant . money i no get, peace of mind zero. Am even owning the landlord .

Not all employees are suffering, and not all business owners are doing well. Up your game. They are many employed people earning 500k and above, churning the money into real assets investment and doing well.

It was painful for me and very traumatizing. It was even more painful the fact that she blocked me. It made me feel worthless.

Spits on all SIMP

Do the crime, do the time.

Nosa111:
When will you start training your kids, when you are 50? And ready for retirement ? LOL

Retirement? Lol

Not everybody slave away on a 9-5 government job. People run business and enterprise that makes money even when they aren't around.

Man be looking for ways to invite more trouble to his life.

Man no get deadline go marry, if you doubt me, ask Ned Nwoko.

At OP, the woman meant for you (if there is anything like that) will come your way when you aren't expecting or searching. So chill and live your life to the fullest, enjoying every moment of it.

Have you ever gone out of your way to please a lady? Let me share mind first.

I remember my third year in school, a fiend of mine visited my school to write her Post Utme. UNN precise. That was in 2014. I took her to a restaurant to eat, i bought food for her and watch her while she eat.

When she asked if I wasn't going to eat, I said No I'm not hungry. Ladies and gents, the kind hunger dey fire me that time eh, only God knows. But as a student surviving on 10k per month, I do all my cookings and eat only at home to save cost.

Well I think that's the far I have ever gone. Thank God for life shaaa... Things done soft.

These days, I really don't put efforts in pleasing anyone, not even the female folks. If it's not convenient for me, forget it!

I'm not the type that spends on random women, whatever I give out is extremely insignificant to my network. I currently don't do relationships, just one or two babes here and there.

Comrades in the house, what tactics are you deploying to evade excessive billing this Christmas from the numerous girls you keep. Please share, you might be helping a SIMP out there who is dying of excessive billing.

1Sharon:
@ OP She was probably already pregnant and tried to set you up with the baby

Might be possible, cos her desperation that day was on another level.

zed7:
Whilst single, I have declined lots of offers such as, 'I'm home alone', kissing, outrightly telling me they want sex etc. I've never being in a position of making out and declining. Don't know if that will be possible o.

Men with self control always think deeply about the consequences of sleeping with women, especially in naija. Our women mostly equate sex to commitment. Once you have that sex, it becomes emotional blackmail, demands etc. A wise man should always weigh the consequences of sex. Moreover, 'free sex' is usually regretted.

You have a point!

ekensi01:
how about fingering and touching?
you are a saint because u didnt use the prick.
stop acting false rightousness

I no follow you dey struggle righteousness. I'm just saying there is nothing wrong with the post on a sunday morning

ekensi01:
baba na joke oh.
i stil dey church

You dey church dey open Nairaland Romance section instead of listening to the word of God. Person wey no go church better pass you o

ekensi01:
on a sunday morning. Cant you wait till tomorrow?

It's Christian-like to run away from fornication. BTW you choose the days you sin ba? Hypocrisy!

I was just going thru my WhatsApp status recently when I saw my one time friend back in the days, then I had a flash of our one time encounter.

We had a good rapport and was friends on a semi neutral levels, one or two romance and pressing of boobs, that's all.

I was always looking forward to the day I will bang the hell out of her, well she was well into me but some months into our friendship I noticed how cunning and deceptive she was, couple with with fact that I wanted just FWB but she was hell bend on a relationship. Who want commitment? Well, our friendship had a crack. I gave her a lot of space.

So this faithful day she called and said she was coming to my crib to spend the night, I was like what's up with you? She was bla bla bla she is travelling the next day that she will travel from my place. Mind you she has never been to my place before.

Well the banny came, we gist, ate. I come put movie for her go sleep. What woke me up was her hand cripping into my boxers.

Babe was hot and wanted it badly , I told her I wanted it before but I don't want again. In my mind, this is what I have wanted all the while, why I dey dull na? Gbola Is willing but my spirit is dull.

Funny thing is I was already hard from her touch... we had a little talk, look for several excuses to escape banging her that night, babe was acting like a female dog on her heat period.

Told her I don't have a CD, cannot do raw... babe said she doesn't care that she is ready to do raw... I was like Hhaaa!

I now offered to finger her really hard and she was creaming and moaning. At one point she stop and said she want My gbola that my fingers aren't satisfying. Mind you all the while my chairman stand at attention, but I said never!

We hard intense arguments, I looked for several excuses, even told her I don't know My HIV status, it fell on deaf ears. Lastly I told her Well, I have a GF now and I can't cheat on her (lies).

At that moment,her high tension fell flat. She went to the bathroom, washed up and never talked to me again till the next morning. I shaa slept with one eye open that night, don't underestimate what this bitchesss can do.

The next day she left and that was the end of our little rickety friendship, although we still view each others WhatsApp status and just pads without saying a word.

Ladies most times think guys cannot say NO to free fvcks, but that's not true. Well that day, I was proud of my self for crushing her ego LOL.

Niggas in the house, have you had similar experience, please share.
