You think a high frequency Growatt 12000 ES (12kw) is durable enough to handle regular heavy inductive loads without needing repairs every year? 😭😭.
Abi just to go for transformer low frequency inverter?

brightk

maybe you should visit the location and do some analysis.. check each devices consumption, peak load hrs and off peak load hrs.. i think u can draw your conclusion from there.

ask4bk:
Thanks bro..
With full capacity load of 5000w, you still advice for a 6kva inverter?

10kw inverter shud b d minimum. as for batterry, alot has to b considered..time of usage of appliances (day/night), running hours...

ask4bk:
You won't understand the context. But the particular context i was in that particular time they sent the message, it'll take me a long journey to get to town, and will cost me approximately 180k for that journey to and fro, minus the stress and what it'll cost me at work. Doing my calculations, paying 144k was a far better option. As in by farrrr.

hmm

twosquare:
Why is this a thing with Starlink...any little thing, e don fry?

always plug it to a surge protector... starlink is not different from any other electronics

swagifted:
like joke like joke person go buy 30kwh for three Million or less very soon... And some people de charge 4.6M for 16kwh...time will tell

u de find trouble oo not let S** see u o

@ConcernedDad i have this childhood friend who once suffered from this same issue.. please get coconut.. remove the water and the fruit... do it in such a way that the shell resembles a cup.. let it be his official cup @ home.. he should be using it to drink anything liquid. by Gods grace he will be fine...

dollaflow:
Plsease Does Starlink come with a 1-month free subscription?

lol.... no sir

Collione:
Thanks for this. I'll leave this to the installer

installer ke.. bros go buy ur panels ooo from trusted sources....

Tdoctor:
Why obnoxious?

why not him

Collione:
Hello house. What are your thoughts about Canadian panels

if u buy d original ones, u will enjoy dem. not cheap doh

kewhos:
Done that, please check

checkc ur email

kewhos:
Good day everyone, please I’m looking for a good installer in Warri. Kindly indicate if you are an installer in Warri or recommend me one

send me a DM

HeavenlyBang:
Picture from a 3.3Kw inverter. 01 fault code is just because my low voltage alarm was set to ~24.5v.

That's for a load test, though. I generally keep my inverter at max of ~1.7kw otherwise, but it's just to show you that it's doable.

You can also consider a 5kw inverter in a 48v setup so you have more headway.

this na srne

I have an installation just two months old hitting 6.3tb. I can conclude dat one can actually hit 3tb a month

Compliant:
I once requested information on this thread on the best inverter AC to buy and after reading comments, I decided to go for LG 1 HP inverter Ac with Gen Mode from fouani for N559,000

It was installed few days ago and the installer set it to Gen Mode 0.8 and to my surprise the whole power it was pulling was just 320watts

which of d lg 1hp model are u using.

easyyoke:
Going to a year now

hmm n de tend to balance well. Do u monitor the individual 12v batteries

easyyoke:
Lol. I have four different brands of LIFEPO4 batteries paralleled together. I have been using it for 2years plus. You can parallel even different capacity as the internal resistance of each battery will tell your charger which battery to supply higher amps. Recently I connected the four different 12v battery in series(using an external equalizer) to make 48V 100ah, then I paralleled the 4 to another single 48v 100ah using a bus bar. Manufacturers telling you not to parallel their batteries with other brands is BS so far the batteries are thesame chemistry(i.e you cannot parralel Lead Acid with Lithium).

how long have u been using the 12v in series with the external equalizer?

mctfopt:
Correct man

check ur dms

u cant even hack a banking system without an insider.

mctfopt:
Na good product.

You can buy in China for some discount

any idea on alpsolar, price is moderate, they seem to capture my attention with thei panel oversizing but with no dual mppt input i tire once....

mctfopt:
Check Techland and Jiji.

.

Must've missed your DM.

Cheers

boss u nor just like me. Even deye price de learn for where solis de

mctfopt:
Solis

boss where i take see the price fear hold me oo.. abeg u get plug. me i don dm u tire u nor de respond

Apart from deye and srne please which other 6kw inverter is durable and rugged with medium price.

easyyoke:
Make una epp me abeg, my ogas

u won't even see 26A from ur total pv so u re gud to go. Even if see above 22A, the inverter will clip d power towards its max.. I have a 6s2p (jinko 580w) on an ivem 5048 inverter with max input current of 20A. my own view is dat if u see 70% from ur pv output u re fine. Certain factors limit wat u can get from ur pv, sun direction, title angle, intensity of sun irradiance, cable distance, cable size etc.

Mrreed:
I stand to be corrected but a100a cc controller already tells you that you won't get beyond 2700w at any point in time even if your PV is up to 4000w.

it doesn't work like dat.

Machiny:
this is from the booklet they gave to me. Seems they have different kinds

I don de discourage already I have one of dia booklets dat indicate the pv array is 4000w

Machiny:
16 Damiete Drive, off Full Gospel Road, By Odili Road, Port harcourt . 3.5kw is 3000w max pv, while 4.2kw is 5000w. Thinking of firman my issue with them is ordering online but has service center in ph, but no walk in store for purchase. Noticed firman is almost noiseless

Except the company is not being truthful, on their catalogue its 4kw mppt....were u able to max out the mppt value, if yes how many panels did u attach?

GloriousGbola:
you may need to deploy proper lightning protection

and lightning protection in nigeria can be tricky

people are buying indelec prevectron fro domestic house which as wayo. you dont need indelec for a domestic house. indelec is designed for protecting industrial facilities or commercial buildings. by design a prevectron attracts lighting so it is often installed in a secure /isolated part of a facility so your lightning strike does not affect anything

the regular arrester will be struck by lightning if the lightning comes close to the building

the other issue is earthing. conventional wisdom is everything should be on one earthing ring.

but if you have high earth resistance, the lightning strikes the arrester, goes to earth, then goes back into your system and fries everything

so i personally prefer to put my lightning protection separate from mains earthing - especially as no one does routine integrity testing

also and this is the big kicker - in many domestic installations, earthing is either non existent or very poorly done. you want resistance of less than 10ohms. most people will drop one earth rod and call it a day. you now test and see resistance of 200 ohms or more.

it is especially problematic in lekki and beyond which is sandfilled. so you actually have to dig through b or more metres of sand to get to the real earth

f you have a tank stand in your compound separate from your building put the arrester there that way you dont have to worry about surges induced by the arrester traveling to earth

also install surge arresters on the lines from your panels

i have seen articles on the internet where experts talk about bonding all earth rods together to keep voltage potential to a zero value.

Valto:
already using 730w,, installed on carport though ..

boss i sight u oo......na carport u call am na

Johnbosco241:
Even the business plan, According to Starlink is at capacity. Unfortunately I keep hearing people saying that they can activate the Starlink.??

starlink can b activated anywhere even if location is @ capacity

FEGEITOK:
Incoming 700watts FY solar Panels

shey una won fall piple roof

anyone here making use of original enhanced earthing compound/material inplace of charcoal/salt?
