go for 1 & 2, buy a higher current rated buck converter maybe 20a to accommodate all your devices
Thank you very much. You've been a giant help

Penuelseun:
The 12v 90ah battery will work, you can use a 150w panel to charge it up, you will need a buck converter to step down the 12v to 5v so you can use it with your appliances
Okay so what you're saying is that my wiring should look like below:

150w panel -> 100a charge controller -> 12v 90AH battery -> 5v 10a DC to DC buck converter (connected directly to the battery) -> the 3 computers I have as loads? CAN THIS SETUP PROVIDE 5V 10A DURING THE DAY WITH GOOD SUN TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LOAD ON THE BATTERY WHILE ITBIS BEING RECHARGED BY THE SOLAR CONTROLLER?

I am also contemplating buying two of the below items to use in the wiring setup :

Pic 1. 12v automatic low power shut off to stop the battery from discharging past 50% of its capacity (45AH) for longevity of the battery.

Pic 2. 12v to 5v 10a dc converter

OR

Pic 3. 5v 5a & 5v 3a Ubec step down converters (I will use the 5a for the bigger machine and the 3a for the remaining 2 machines)

Please can someone tell me the minimum power/wattage of solar panels that I can connect to a 100 amp pwm solar controller? I fear I have bought one that is too much for my needs.

I want to power 3 devices 24/7 with my setup. I have the charge controller plus

1. Raspberry pi 5 pc drawing 5v 4a

2. Raspberry pi zero 2 drawing 5v 2a

3. Ethernet switch drawing 5v 1a

I am not connecting anything else to the controller as load apart from the above 3 units. I have one 12v 90AH lead acid battery and one 3.2v 72AH CALB LifePo4 battery. I think I can't use the LifePo4 because I made the mistake of getting the pwm charge controller right? I just want to use one out of the two batteries for my setup for now and leave room to upgrade later but my next purchase will be a solar panel to power the setup although I need help to know the right size/power of panel(s) to buy that will power all three of my machines during the day comfortably and also recharge the battery for use during the night when the sun goes down.

My plan is to connect the panel to the 100 amp controller, connect one of the batteries to the controller to recharge and use a step down/up buck converter to give me an output of 5v 10a max. Is tbis possible?
Technology MarketRe: Solar Power For An Average Middle Class Household by Conner44: 2:55pm On Jul 12, 2024
Hi, I'm new here and need guidance.

I have 3 computers which I need to keep running 24/7 because I'm using them as a server cluster. I have purchased a 100amp pwm solar charge controller and I have two batteries which I can use for this project. Details of my load and batteries are below.

1. Raspberry pi 5 drawing 5 volts 4 amps

2. Raspberry pi zero 2w drawing 5 volts 2 amps

3. Mini ethernet switch drawing 5 volts 1 amp

4. One single 12 volts 90 ah lead acid battery

5. One single 3.2 volts 72 ah CalB LifePo4 battery.

Those are the items i have on hand right now along with the 100 amp pwm charge controller. Please I need to know the right size of solar panels that I can purchase and wire up which would be able to provide enough power to directly supply current to the three devices I have as loads above during the daytime and then be able to recharge any one of/both of the batteries I have to be able to power the loads during the night when the sun goes down.

I am a complete novice in electrical matters but I am willing to learn. I do not have any cash right now to purchase an additional battery so I need to make do with the setup I have on hand right now and plan for an upgrade soon. I just have to purchase the right solar panel size and type to give me the juice I need to at least power my devices during the day and then I can depend on whatever my battery backup can give me at night for the time being.

I am in Africa, we have good sunshine most of the day. All my devices arr rated at 5 volts max. I fear I bought an oversized pwm charge controller for my setup (100 amps) hence my worry that I might have to splurge on solar panels to feed such a hungry controller.

My humble questions are thus, can I use a lower rated solar panel with the 100 amp controller? Is there a minimum wattage of panels that can be used on the 100 amp controller? Will it hurt the system if I under-feed the controller power from the panels? I don't think I have the cash to buy anything more than a 150 watt panel at the moment but I desperately need this system up and running one way or the other.

Thanks all. I appreciate your advice.

Greetings Bosses in the house. I recently gave my mechanic money to buy new gear hoses for my matrix after i found out its leaking. Fee days laterone of the hose burst on my way back from a trip and all the gear oil were lost . Had to park the car and look for a mechanic it was then I noticed that one of the hose isn't meant for gear oil.
New hose was bought as well as new gear oil and the gear got back on actio. I drove down and confronted my mech. He apologized it wasn't intentional, then i told me to pary nothing happens to my gear.

Few days later the gear would take few minutes to engage in the morning and drives fine the rest of the day till d nxt morning, sometimes i will have to shift to D2 b4 it will engage.
Called my ,,m ech again to complain and he suggested we wash the bottom plate that its dirty.
We did that yesterday and it took the car much longer time to engage this morning. But it drive normal since today.

Please I need your candid advice/ suggestions.

Neither any part of the engine nor gear has been worked on since I bought the car 2019, expect the plugs
Your gearbox was driven for some miles while under severe starvation of lubrication cry

I'm sorry, it will only get worse. Just fill up and never touch it again and watch its deterioration. It would get to a stage and then stabilise but I doubt it will ever function as it did before the unfortunate 'hose bursting' incident undecided

You'd have to manage it as it is so far as it still functions for your use.

Do you know that I'm actually suspecting catalyst for my engine oil burn, I guess that might be the culprit coz when we opened the top cylinder, the camshaft is still very clean and there was nothing like smudges inside.

I will fix another catalyst to see the effect
No no no, you didn't understand my post.

Bad catalysts or O2 sensors are both symptoms of oil burn and not its cause

Blackbishop already hinted at your valve seals (minor repair) as being the culprit. The other culprits could be bad cylinder walls (major repair) or pcv valve (easy replacement)

Blackbishop:
No bro....
Good take. A vehicle shorting oil is not the end of its life or usefulness. Just do your cost valuation against management or repairs and take action.

Like me today, I have oil shortage but due to bad leaks, my engine will need to be dropped for the repair which I don't have the time to do now or intend to do anytime soon (so as not to allow a mech add an issue to my issues) so I just keep topping up as necessary.

I even travel very well with it, here to the east and back frequently. I just stop at Ore and top up a litre and it will be low again at my destination. That's how I mitigate its adverse effects during long distance trips. On a daily I top up a litre in like 700kms in my usual city drive.

The fact is if its due to an oil burning issue, then the catalysts or O2 sensors can get bad quickly if it's not tackled on time. This is where I am lucky

So, scammers these days have a new trick. I almost fell for it and almost lost 50,000 naira. Here's how they operate:

they post items on Facebook or other platforms with a "pay on delivery" option. When you inquire about the item, they'll ask for your number, delivery address and ask if you are available to receive it. Then, a dispatch rider will call you to deliver the item. The scammer will stay in touch to make sure the rider reaches you. When the rider arrives, they'll ask you to pay them directly instead of the dispatch rider & If you make the mistake of paying the person that posted the advert on Facebook or anyother platform, you've been scammed successfully...


Pls becareful out there
I don't understand this part of their scam. Shebi if I pay the guy that posted the advert online, the dispatch rider in my front on his bike is supposed to give me the item for sale which I wanted to buy WHICH HE SHOULD HAVE INSIDE HIS BIKE BOX abi? Will he zoom off? Or is he unaware of the scam?
