Bottom line is, let's strive to put as little stress on our batteries as we could afford. Any power appliance (e.g fridge, Freezer, AirConditioner, etc) should be run on a minimum of 24-volts system and above, wether na inverterBasedAppliance or not.
That na my own opinion

adrusa:
Felicity Charge Controller crew here. I have 2 120A models in my house serving admirably.

bassdow:
if you could afford it, go for morningStar (more expensive) OR epEver (cheaper) or Fangpusun. There are a few others but those I listed are readily available in Nigerian markets especially epEver & Fangpusun

bassdow:
what about the person who suggested changing your chargeController ? abi no be you dem tell ?

Ferdiwar:
So I believe 1 of the reasons for your poor yield is how you lay the panel and 2 the dusty weather.

Peterlove11:
Nothing is wrong with your panel. My solar yield has greatly dropped since January.

AshipaEk0:
You won't get 50% output from those panels this period.
Everyone is reporting much degraded output.
Used to get nameplate, now max out at 45% ish
Run these checks in 3 - 4 weeks when the bloody Harmattan is done

dollarnaira:
Not dust on the panels o. But huge dust in the air above affecting everyone Jinko or no Jinko. Wait for the first or 2nd rain to wash the said Harmattan dust in the atmosphere off. By then, sun rays will fully hit your pv wella. Dust don chop better part of the sun comot. So bro, the sun you are feeling now is big fake.

Debroslink:
Calm down bro, nothing is wrong with your setup and panels. My panels are dropping less than 50% output today than it was early January when harmattan hasn't started.Wait for the 1st heavy rainfall to clear the dust everywhere, then the sun will have premium access to those panels.

Jefferyzz:
Here is Ur answer

easyyoke:
Guys if I want to carry 800w of solar panel power over 10yards distance (37v, 22Amps), how many mm wire will be the recommended wire please for optimal performance and little to no loss.

odimbannamdi:
I was asking you about your location to know whether you are in Lagos and possible close to me so that we can connect and test with another MPPT charge controller at no extra cost to you, but you didn't respond. Anyways....

MeGt:
Hey guys. Tried to get the Starlink kit from the website, and got the following message:

Starlink is at capacity in your area and expects to expand service in your area in 2024. Order now to reserve your Starlink. You will receive a notification once your Starlink is ready to ship.

Looking at going ahead to get from a reseller. Will performance be affected?

kristien4:
They are Jinko 580watts.. i bought them from Gennextechnologies

Dam5reey:
If a Jinko already produced 275W which is 50% of its capacity and your 300w were doing 100w which is 33%...
it means your the Jinko already performed as Top Tier Panel.

Your Charge controller is doing a bad job... Change it to another one..

Also note the Current Weather is very bad!!

Obnoxious2001:
You have no problem.
The panel is trying your concern should be to increase your cc.

The 40A can only fend for 550w × 2.
That if you don't have plans to install the 300w panels

dollarnaira:
Am sorry bro
But I laughed out loud upon the above.
Not dust on the panels o. But huge dust in the air above affecting everyone Jinko or no Jinko. Wait for the first or 2nd rain to wash the said Harmattan dust in the atmosphere off. By then, sun rays will fully hit your pv wella. Dust don chop better part of the sun comot. So bro, the sun you are feeling now is big fake. Leave your set up till March/April and check again. Cheers.

Penuelseun:
I would suggest you get another mppt controller

oloet:
As I have said, I don't think you have a problem for now, how are the panels connected, are they properly oriented, what charge controller are you using?

TechGeek777:
You didn't state the configuration, also is it 24v or 48v?

Inverter model and CC info is required

brightk:
what is the orientation of ur panels? Cable distance and type of cc

oloet:
There are so many things that affects Solar yield.... orientation, quality of materials, distance etc... I want to point out to you that we are in a dusty weather right now, so your generation might not be out of place as most of us are battling with poor yields due to the weather....

kristien4:
Thanks bro. The thing is i upgraded my panels yesterday.. 6pieces 580w solar panel. 2 panels connected in series into 3 places. Thats 2_2_2 in series, all paralled together. I just put it under heavy load. My growatt charge controller displayed 2730watts pv input.. 18amps pv and 90v pv. Its a 48v inverter... 4 pieces 12v LA battery is series..
Each panel 51v
13amps
580w. Just wanted to be sure its working fine. Under the heavy load, pv input amps stays at 18amps, While batt says 43amps. Was thinking the pv amps would get to 30amps and above or something. I should just believe everything is fine since I'm getting 2730watts from 3480w panel on heavy load.

seunpayne:
I’m not really sure what “all these” entails sha. It’s a two bedroom flat 2500sqf approx. I’ve got smart speakers littered all over (Amazon echo dots), smart lights and some nest sensors. I needed something that could broadcast across the entire space without the need for a mesh or extender. This Linksys did just that. I love the performance. I can stream games from my PS5 in the living room to my pc in my room lag free. The performance is dope. Oh yeah, I also got the Ethernet adapter. All this won’t happen without it.

BadMaster:
Wrong information. Playstore accepts payment using Verve cards

Youngpo413:
please can I use opay on playstore ?

Leemekzy:
Can I use it to place an order for the Starlink hardware?

pman06:
Pls is it opay virtual or physical card?

TechGeek777:
If you have the means, also sell the panels as am sure those 4 panels can't serve your anticipated setup.

I advise you go for Valto's 48v 230ah rather than 10kwh Growatt battery.

Get 475w Jinko panel * 9 (from Gennex)
OR
Get 530w Jinko panel * 9 (from Zeestone99)

If money is not an issue better go for 5kva Growatt unless you don't have much load.

With above you are sure of getting your return.

My 2 cent!
