BangaRice:
24V will halve the current you have to deal with between PV-SCC-BAT. Go ahead and disregard team 48V until you are financially ready for cost of 48V.
385v spds seem to have a higher surge supressing capacity than that of a 275v.. if u must choose a higher voltage spd please add a voltage regulator to bring down the voltage to 230/240v

You just got?

Directly from Starlink (which I doubt) or through 3rd party vendors Jumia and co (most likely)
.
I want to believe you are in Lagos or Abuja which is at full capacity and Starlink is currently not activating/onboarding new clients
.
You will have to keep it and wait on starlink for activation when they are ready
if u can affford an enterprise subscription den u are gud 2 go

I own a 3.5kva Generator, my inverter is 24v 4.2kva. No matter what I do it won't charge from the generator. Even with charging current lowered to 20 amps.

Whenever I turn on I always hear a clicking sound from the inverter and the light will be flickering. My system is grid only for now. How do I go about this?
i think ur gen output freq doesnt match dat of ur inv.... Have u tried another gen

From experience those hot plates attached to cooking gases are also energy efficient as they can be regulated to reduce power consumptions. The hot plate on my gas’s cooker consumes 1kw at maximum and 200w at lowest. Induction cooker also has regulators to control power consumptions but may require special cooking pot to achieve optimum temperature.
wat model of gas cooker are u using....at least this one nor go select pot

Yes. Even the busiest cities in delta , which are Asaba and Warri. Sub is still 57k in those 2 cities
no where in delta is 57k.. starlink is @ capacity

This issue of Lagos and Abuja being saturated is funny and annoying.....most of the multinational companies , government offices, Embassies, banks, etc are all based in Lagos and Abuja, and I guess most of these establishment have all switched Starlink network, may be that's the reason while Lagos and Abuja is filled( Lagos and Abuja can't eat your cake and have it). Nothing of such in rivers state and Delta state
to all places in delta have access to 57k sub

Yeah i bought it from a retailer unactivated. I was told i can sub for roaming or under an enterprise account. But both are expensive.
u can only do a plan of 86k monthly for now... i can get u activated....

Please, any original breaker seller here?
which of the resellers?

8 x ZN 605W Bifacial N-Type Solar Panel (fouani or any other 555-590w) - 8 x 110,000 = 880,000
Growatt 6kW inverter - 600k
10kwh from brands that have confirm 10kwh is around 2.1m like Firman. But you add 200k you'll get 16kwh of confirm quality batteries from Valto 2.3m. Or you get 15kwh same quality from Mrreed for 1.6m only that his has no communication ports and DC breaker, which are not necessary features and cheaper at 1.6m over that of Valto that is 600k costlier with breaker and communication ports. 😭😭. I'm sure you are asking same questions with me about why he can't reduce price too. Only that Mrreed often runs out of cells cuz of people rushing him.

Total cost = 3.1m to 3.8m.

Make your choice
this zn bifacial is it really dat good wen compared to jinko (non-bifacial) of near same capacity (590) esp on a roof top

I am asking of the digits on your virtual card. Are they 19 or 16 digit. You can check this in your Opay app. For instance, mine is 16, not like the normal Opay physical card that has 19 digits. The 16 digits virtual card is not as acceptable as the 19 digits one. Kindly check your app.
bro i did it for a client of mine so i cant really say.. u can check ur personal bank to know if de offer virtual cards.. first bank, access bank do offe virtual cards

Is Opay still issuing the 16 digit Virtual VerveCard or have they started issuing the 19 digit one? I once got the 16 digit card but I found out that a lot of online card processors don't accept the 16digit Virtual card.
didnt check oo... cos i was in a hurry to get the kit activated

Good Evening Gentlemen.

Does Opay Card still work on Starlink?

Been trying to reactivate my account but it's been declining.
i did an installation few days ago. it was declining.. i had to request for their virtual card .. and i was able to activate the kit

Adding price will make post disappear? Please stop lying! People have been putting prices and nothing has disappeared. Just say you don't want to put prices for obvious reasons. That's the reason I'll never patronize you.
ur statements are uncalled for.. every man with his own policy. if he doesnt state his prices and u are interested in his products, simply slide into his dm.. it wont hurt ur flesh..... saying u will never patronize him is laughable. plus u minus u, bizness go still go de go on...

They didn't share picture before shipping. But they shared picture before he paid.

Seller has agreed to a refund

My bro I've seen things in Chinese importation- but I've never taken a loss. Most of the time I don't just bother to share some experience here as I'm busy with life offline grin
That market is wide.. I am sure ur friend didnt consider alot of factors before using that particular seller...

Hello everyone, Recently, i got to a locatoin for a new installation and starlink says its service is at capacity, Fortunately for me, an installation was done in the same compoound so i decided to check the service address used, Lo and behold it was another service address as far as 3km from the location. I was skeptical @ first but i had no choice,. eventually we were able to hookup to available satelites.. Although i kept seeing signals drop via d led button on the starlink router..At a point in time no iphone was browsing, but TV and andriod devices were working.. After going back n forth i decided to reset the router (V3) even though no confirguration has been done on it..

Eventually everytthing picked up and there has not been any single calls till date.

My question is has anyone ever activated starlink using a service address far away from the starlink original location?

My solar array is currently 12KW with harvest reaching above 10KW many times. If I'm on a 12V system, I will need like 5 or 6 high current charge controllers and my amperage will often exceed 500 to 800A. That amount of current in a home is a serious fire risk. If you intend to stay in the 1-2KVA range with small appliances, 12V will be okay for you. But if you ever plan on growth, you will one day regret not heeding the advice to go to 48V from the set go. Remember, you won't be a student/bachelor forever. grin

Even if 12V serves your power need, what about the limit it places on your solar setup? Your charge controller will take only 25% of the solar power it will take at 48V when you use it in a 12V system. For anyone starting out, start with 48V if you have the means. One of my major mistakes when I started my solar journey many years ago was starting with 24V due to fears about the cost of batteries. I have since moved to 48V.
life na stages bro.. i see no reason y someone cant use a 12v system and who says cc will limit.. u.... the lowest cc i have come across can accommodate 600w while other tend to rise up to 1600w... enough to charge batteries and power loads... bread hybrid inverter takes above 1kw of solar input.. so.... u just have to check ur consumption and know wen 2 upgrade

As you sef typed this Deye 12kw, your heart no cut small for me?
No be yahoo boy get the facility 😭😭
reason with the client.... this setup will cost a lot... like i said its easier to get inverters and panels.. if money b d problem make una start small... not all loads will be on the inverter for now.... u can do 6kw*2 or 8kw x2..... and enough panels as u can afford. Start with 1 or 2 battery packs.. let him know its a continuous project.. if he is really serious.. he can be self sufficient in 2yrs.. draw out a comprehensive plan and spread it such that in 2yrs he can be able to do 70% of it if not 80%.. u can make comparison btw deye, growatt, alpsolar and solis... try and choose an inverter with large mppt power... like i said go to the location, do your own analysis and draw out your plan. if e nor reason with u my broda make u clear fast fast

Client wey insist on buying everything himself, have had to change his MUST charge controller in less than 8-months. Money wey him no want take buy quality item, him don spend am the other way round.

e get the kind capacity you go dey run, you need quality items. At least play your part make you know say you don try.


Another thing is, Solar power isn't really all that super efficient on some load types. e get as the load go take big reach, petrol / diesel generator go just better EXCEPT they really got the resources to plan and build such system. At such stage, that kind work no be wetin dem dey give any how
u can literally get away with panels and inverter.. d real koko na battery backup. if na me de this shoe.. na to let client know say na continuous upgrade till de become self sufficient... esp on battery.....make una draft out plan.. a 100kwh battery grin grin

You are right.
But assuming (we are doing assumptions now) the load is truly 5kw at peak, would you suggest a high frequency inverter like Growatt 12000 ES (12kw), or you would prefer a transformer based inverter coz of surge current from hospital inductive loads?
i would rather pick a deye 12kw over growatt 12000 Es. but factor in their pockets..
