MiCasa:
I have a battery bank of 96 volts (8 of 12v/200ah VRLA battery connected in series, 12v x 8 = 96v).

BLS-84/86-Multi is recommended for my system. Do you have one?

Judging from the state of my batteries, I am thinking along the line of battery replacement. Sealed or maintenance free, which is the best for performance and durability?

Please ping me

MiCasa:
My 12v 200ah Saturn batteries are dying after just one year. Eight of them that initially carry and supply energy for approximately 15hrs hardly last about 4hrs. How can the I revive them, if possible. How can I get a battery life saver?

I have few 12/24V BLS and 48V BLS.
Please let me know your system voltage.

Thank you all for the answers to my questions. With your help I will celebrate independence from Phcn and noisy gas guzzling gen.

@c0ogumo:
Considering that the inverter is 96v, what size, type of Mppt Charge Controller do I need to complement my system? [i]Its very rare to find a 96V MPPT charge controller except for chinese CC. You would need 96V 30A MPPT Charge Controller.

Why the 30A MPPT and not higher or lower charging amp. Please enlighten on that. While searching the net, I came across this smart (their claim) MPPT Charge Controller. http://www.wipanda.com/EN/productdetail.aspx?piid=306. I would appreciate it if I could get forum members opinions on it.


@Richmon74:
Thanks for the correction on my 19200wh battery bank. The listed price for Sunmodule 275w at solarlanelstore.com is [b]$297 [/b]and not $279, my mistake. That is FOB their warehouse and does not, of course, include shipping to Nigeria. You recommended 14 to 18 x275w but I want to start with half, that is 9 and add-on later. I didn't know that you sell Solarworld panels. If I cannot get the 275w from you for your "world's best price", at what price can I get the 265w?

@MiCasa
My calculation was based on 50 - 60% DOD of your battery bank and 5 hrs of Sunlight every day. If you are going to discharge your battery bank deeper than 60% then you can go with richmon74 (14-18 Panels).
For 9 panels of 275W
9 x 275W = 2475W
2475W/96V = 25.78 Amps....I would say go for 30A MPPT Charge Controller.

For 18 Panels of 275W
18 x 275W = 4950W
4950W/96V = 51.5625 Amps....I would say go for 60A or ( 2 x 30A) MPPT Charge Controller
If you check the specs of the 30A I-Panda, the Max PV input 3400W which is about 12 x 275W panels.

I have few MidNite Solar Lightning Arrestors MNSPD-115 and MNSPD-300

[quote author=MiCasa post=27217722]Mr. Newbie here. I have read so much from this forum that I consider it my solar-reference-library, albeit I learned a lot especially from the likes of George_D, Richmon74 and others, there are some that I am still confused about. Without wanting to clog the progressive wheel of this forum too much, I need help with a little dilemma that is bugging me.

I have had (almost a year now) Su-Kam 5kva/96v pure sine wave inverter with charging current of 10A to a Saturn battery bank of eight ( 12v200ah connected in series.

While I always wanted hybrid renewable energy with solar array the cost of PV has kept me at bay. Solarpanelstore.com has SolarWorld Sunmodule 275w at $279 (N46,872) plus shipping and that has gotten me seriously thinking to add solar panels to my system.

My concern/confusion are as follows:

1. Are there other sources of lower priced quality solar panels? SolarWorld is the best however, there are other brands out there that are good too. Renogy is good and a little cheaper.

2. How many of the 275w panels (if that’s the best I can get) do I need for my 19,200ah battery bank? You would need about 9 x 275W panels for your battery bank.

3. How many panels do I connect in a string of series or parallel? 3 x 3

4. Considering that the inverter is 96v, what size, type of Mppt Charge Controller do I need to complement my system? Its very rare to find a 96V MPPT charge controller except for chinese CC. You would need 96V 30A MPPT Charge Controller.

Let me know if you need anything

viazi: Can the TROJAN batteries work effectively with my LUMINOUS Inverter if I get the SMART CHARGER? What of Equalization? How do I achieve that? We need to talk pls. How do I contact U?

viazi: @All,
I have a 1.5kva (24V) Luminous inverter. I however have a problem of choice of batteries to buy to power it. Am divided between 2 specs of Trojan Flooded batteries as stated bellow:

1. TROJAN T105-RE Premium Line Flooded Lead Acid Battery 6V (225AH)20hr Rate X 4 pieces (4 Pieces)

2. TROJAN J185P-AC Signature Line Flooded Lead-Acid Battery 12V (205AH) 20hr x 2 pieces (2 pieces)

Kindly enlighten me of the best choice to make from these 2 options.(Price is not an issue here) Can the Inverter charge these batteries effectively? or I will need another Charger?

Thanks in advance

Trojan batteries require a strong charger. Your 1.5KVA inverter chager is not strong enough to charge the batteries fully.
You will need a smart battery charger like Cotek CX2425 battery charger.
