DMerciful: Correct Since November my harvest from sunshine has dropped to 40-55% of installed capacity. Thank God i over sized my PV to get pass 6hrs absorption stage |

mcTrinity: Yea! That is a reasonable option for me too. Unless he has millions in his vault. Let him get BLS/balancers for older batteries. Just my stake! 5 Likes 1 Share |

Oshomo12: My oga, you're on point, Energy efficiency is the key to successes in R.E. However, some of us are discouraged by (not necessarily cheap) fake/poor led bulbs whitewashing Nigerian market. As a matter of fact, I have many energy bulbs waiting to replace unreliable led bulb that goes out. Thus requiring more power to run - more power to harvest. |

JUO: You are right. Also, It is a matter of choice to live off grid and drive your heavy appliances if you have the right installation. Let's remember the sun is free |

Apipia: Are sure the inverter charger is not the normal inverter charging with grid/gen? Will it do continuous sweeping d external charger does. There alot reasons to get external charger wen you can afford it |

Apipia: No clear cut btw mono & poly poly nowadays. In fact my poly fires more juice than mono. If money is not the issue, mono is better due to its purity and may depreciate less & last a bit longer. I wonder why u need mppt when you have no batteries. Being grid tied you can get back ur credits after necessary approval. SMA Inverters are good in that regards. |

CLASSMAN: Am happy you asked. The question can better be answered by urself, how deep ur pocket is. U have cc of 5k and dat of 500k plus. Same with panels. The previous fine line btw dem has greatly faded out in production wise. In fact I have equal no. Of both ( 6 mono -6 poly of 150w) & my poly is producing more. However, some believe mono will out live poly possibly before or after 25yrs For a small unit like yours, u can buy few mono but for large scale like 5kw & > poly will do the job. I also believe every solar setup is unique irrespective of design flaws. I wish you a stress free upgrade experience. |

Apipia: Just add one more 200w same brand as b4 and ur ok. 200w x 3=600w x 0.8 (where 0.2 is loss due various factors)=480w 480w x 6hrs=2880wh/day or 60% of batteries power sufficiently restored if at all u deplete it by 50% daily. Remember 3 panels =27amps lower than ur 30A CC which is safe. Thus ur setup will effectively bridge the gap of no grid. Mind u, the grid equally cycle ur batteries too. However, u may which to expanded gradually by buy 300w for keep till ur ready. Personally I prefer 2 150w to a single 300w, don't ask me why. |

Apipia: Your loads are generic, nothing special. It will be interesting to know or see pix of What type of CC u have, nevertheless, you'll be betteroff if u add one more panel for the seek of ur batteries on a cloudy days. Addition, DC watt meter will do you good if installed @ output terminals of ur batteries to monitor ur consumption @ nite. Cheers! |
Technology Market / Re: Solar Panel Configuration by efuro(m): 11:08am On Oct 15, 2017 |
Apipia: I need to congratulate you on your focus towards enjoying 24hrs electricity in our beloved country. Your question is expected perhaps due to the huge cost of batteries. Even though your setup is small, things has to be done right. There factors to considered when doing solar system design. I am going to make some assumptions since the information you supplied is insufficient and probably you may have connected your stuff already. However, you've stated you have "30a" controller plus 2 "200ah" batteries means amps matters a lot. I hope you have rated cables, meanwhile I assume your controller is pwm which is OK for a small setup like yours. 200w will give you around 9amps, so take a look at: To charge your batteries you have 2x200w In parallel= 18amps and 9amps in series 18x6hrs sunlight=108ah for pwm controller while with mppt controller in parallel=20.3amps and a little more in Series 20.3x6hrs=122ah which is 61% of your 200ah battery bank@24v In essence, you have only 50-60% of your batteries as daily disposable at nitetime. So manage loads consumption to less than 10amps or 240w/hr till sun comes up and you should be fine for years to come. Welcome on board. Let's leave Nija better than we meet it. 1 Like |

foonshur: I have not used TriStar 45 but I know it is a powerful CC and it should have GT Mode function. I will advice u state the type of ur inverter or snap both cc & inverter so dat those with similar type can assist you with settings. |

Obimind1: It is painful to loss over 250k to ba3 & CC in just 8 months. Ba3 equalizing @ 32v for too long is suicidal for ba3 that are not dead. Had I known I would have maintained my pwm which I was using conveniently for over a year b4 going mppt. Don't be discouraged with mppt. Is ur mppt CC under 2yr warranty? That is why I like buying from forum members, you can always redeem ur warranty as fellow mates. Best wishes! |

makavele: Nice Pictures, also elementarily kool for a beginner. Enjoy ur freedom 247. Dam5reey: Need not to worry, the CC will handle amps going into the battery. My fear is ur consumption/backup time. |

Talibanis: price drop? How often... Prices rarely drop. Check out top range inverters (almost N1m), cc(almost N.5m) and batteries (hmmmm). My prayer will skewed to licensed local manufacturing of solar accessories and gadgets in the country, hopefully things will become affordable to all across West Africa. |
