Nah, it's coming up by January
LOL use your common sense mate, what do you think will happen when everyone request help after the one month freeze. And do you think any right thinking Nigeria will provide help based on the new account freeze condition.

The scheme have crashed... Do your math bro. They just using information management to cover it up

Size and type of TV matters. Differences between Tv type can vary e.g my 43Inch LED Tv uses about 35w while the 32 inch LCD uses about 84w. Gotv should be about 15w average phone charger about 10w laptop is generally 65w (when battery is being charged ) and about 18w when battery is full. Fan also need to be specified. Difference between rechargeable dc fans and electric motor fan, ceiling fans can be huge. My ceiling fan uses 35w at least setting 50w at medium settings and 75w at max settings .. rechargeable standing fan uses about 4w at lowest to 25w at highest. You need to list the exact product type of fan etc to help give an estimation of your load and make recommendations.

Your battery at 11.8v is less than 30% which is not good for a lead acid battery. Constant over discharge will lead to sending the battery to early recycling plant.
My TV is 32inch led, I use a standing fan consume 50watt, I laptop,


Reading from my charge controller is usually 12amps from 11am to 3pm {averaging 155-160watt) what baffles me is that it is suppose to be rated at 420watt in total from the panels, in June July when first install I use to get 19amp 230-240watt.

u have said little about your consumption load. Regards your panels connecting all in series is not ideal. Connecting different size panel is never a good thing. The whole total out put of the string is determined by the lowest panel. Might be better to connect the 2 80w panel in parallel and connect them in series to the 130. Your connection should be 80 + 80 = 160 + 130 + 130. Secondly might be best to upgrade your cabling to 10m between controller and battery the hot cables is not a good sign. More importantly you need to describe your load and daily usage. Do you for example use the battery till it's dead..
I use a TV for 5hrs, gotv , charge my phone, plug laptop for 5hrs and use fan. When I am home. On few occasions I use the inverter till it start making alarm noise, then I immediately switch it off 11.8v

The panel are connected in parrellel to the mppt charge controller, I use a 6mm cable, before I get 19amps or at worst 16amp steady. Now a days Na 13amp be the max if I am lucky. Wire can be hot from cc to battery close to the cc positive

RipVanWink:
the bolded should be parallel, not series again, if panels r 24v pls confirm
also, ur panels are 12v panels or 24v?...methinks 12v

your total panel capacity is 420w, which is ok to charge your single battery, only problem might b cos of panel mismatch, i hope your cables are sized correctly, 19amps is ok to charge the battery, am suspecting, ur battery may be on its way to the grave, if after

dicksonadams,

charging with solar certainly does not destroy a battery. in actual fact, it enhances
battery health and longevity if done properly and with the correct sized solar array.

when you were still charging your battery bank with public power (phcn) you didn't
notice that your array was not charging your bank properly or was undersized because
public power was available to kick in and take the slack but now that you're totally
off-grid, the weaknesses in your array sizing has been brought to fore.

my advice will be to do a proper sizing of your solar panels. it is obvious that your panels
capacity is too small to charge your battery bank properly. and also your batteries may
have already taken a hit due to successively poor charge/discharge cycles. if that is
the case, you may think of replacing your batteries either now or in the near future
and give yourself peace of mind.
for 200ah battery what would you recommend so that I can charge and use

DMerciful:
Charge your battery with Nepalight or generator to see if the battery is gone or ur solar system is not well installed.

DMerciful:
Like others have rightly said, it could be ur battery is not getting enough charge or near its end life. Check ur Fangpusun if the daily harvest is around 2400WH....this is what you need to charge ur battery if it was flat.
My fangpusun cc do not have display only 3 blue light that blinks, though it has a port for a special cable for reading thorugh dongle on phone or laptop. but i dont have that dongle it is very expensive.


have mercy on me Dmerciful and Dr chris.

RipVanWink:
is it old age?. how old is ur battery.
also what type of charge controller do u use?...since u said serie connection, i believe its likely mppt, what make n rating?
whats ur daily harvest like?
is ur panel covered with dust?...go wipe them,
I use an mppt fangpusun 30amp charger controller, the battery is 1 year old, use it when I am back from work and weekend.

Before I get 19amp from it but now it barely get to 13amp if lucky.

I clean the panel last Saturday

Chai my solar is suffering me now... Let me explain:


I stop charging my inverter with Nepa for almost a month now and I noticed since a week ago now the battery now run down quick. I might go to work and when I get back the inverter might only last 30 nins or less.


I use just a single 200ah battery and two 80 watt connect in series and 2 130watt connect in series and both now connected in series to my fangpuson cc.


Do charger with only solar destroy a battery?

Dmerciful and other guru please have mercy on me oh embarassed

Izen:
I have one honest question for men tho. What else do you really have to offer in a relationship besides finance? Most women @have been taught to lose every thing about themselves for the man they love since childhood. The only compensation they've been taught to expect is in terms of finance. So if men hate providing in this generation, what else do they really have to offer?
I'm asking it maybe because it beats me when I hear thing like this especially on Nairaland. It's like no one even values the role women play again. I keep imagining how I would have turned out if my mum didn't have to wake up early to prepare me for school, make breakfast, wash my clothes, care for me when sick, carry me about etc while I was growing up. She was a major part of my growing up years and I loved it. And she did all her wifely duties at the same time. But now, it seems the world doesn't think that's enough unless she contributes financially. Ironically, she does contribute more than enough and that makes her the super woman I don't want to be. Because all I see is her giving and giving and giving. Giving her time, her strength, her self, her money. It must get tiring at some point and I see the stress in her face. It hurts that I had to see my mum cry this year because of the stress of money which shouldn't be her burden.
Anyway, back to my question, honestly if men are not bearing the burden of finance, what else do they have to offer in a relationship/marriage? Is this new ideology of a woman must contribute financially justified or is it due to laziness and lack of responsibility of this generation of men?
dislike women like this, they think they are all intellectual and shiy but just like the rest of em
