R2bees: 1. Check ur decorder-lnb cable & "f"-connector. 2. If option 1 above is OK, replace ur lnb sharp-sharp!. All this be done while ur decorder is off 1 Like |

Barezzi: For most of us here, lowering electricity cost is just a bonus of going solar. I believe the independence to use or the freedom to use electricity at will (not just rationed by an inefficient provider) is inspiring us. Congratulations on your harvest, i know on this forum ur feat is just 4-5 days harvest of some. What am congratulating u for is generating ur needs whether it's 4.5kw/day or 21.9kw/day both ways ur covering ur electricity consumption - ur independence, ur freedom from regimented life. So Oga idsolar, like Barezzi mentioned earlier, buy urself a fine bottle of wine and well sauced chicken suya for celebration at least that would have been the money pocketed by disco. I will join ur celebration from here! 2 Likes |

harveyspec: Are you running DC volts AC? And do you have idea of the difference BTW Low voltage AC and inverter AC(compressor-less AC). Anyway any independence Awuoof sales? |

pranil: Am giving pv-dc-electric heating a thought. (CC load dump diverson) or Just 2 dedicated PVs, 12v DC heating element, but still wondering/planning how to work around heating tank. I may do hybrid to AC disabled ariston tank. At the end, I may end up spending just a quarter of the price of tube solar heater. Still weighing DIY options 1 Like |

sireboy: I don't think ur proud of ur product. We want made-in-nija, buy-nija. Do not be ashamed of offering nija product indians are proud of their achievement/products. So please let us know the specs of ur so called " best home made". See what Solenergy is doing building 3.5kva something. While their certified panels have not failed me. We want to be proud of u and put dollars in ur pocket instead of abroad. 2 Likes |

samnaija: Of course fix a diode 50% greater than the upper limits of ur CC on the positive line. Be cautious of it's cathode and anode nodes or better Rely on ur technician to select and fix an approximate diode. Or PM me for further discussion. Remember the thread is tending to "no more free advice " |

samnaija: The Algorithm of the CC envisages all the fear u expressed. And with your epsolar mppt, ur in good hand except it is faulty. |
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by efuro(m): 10:58pm On Sep 14, 2017 |
samnaija: My setup is 12 pieces of 150w (6 poly, 6 mono) and battery bank of 7200WH@ 24v, plus 2kva microtek inverter, 60A fangpusun mppt. 50A PV/CC breaker, No Mnspd, No router, contactor or automation, etc. Just a simple setup to ensure 24hrs electricity. However, I do not have PV feedback or at least my CC takes care of that. It rare nowadays to have that problem you described. Most PV have blocking diode at their terminal box. Also, standard CC prevent such scenario. And if that occurs please audit ur setup. 1. Run some test to Confirm if ur batteries are not the culprit, this include leaving ur pv breaker open while discharging ur bank. 2. Did u do + or - ive grounding to ur setup? If no, insulate ur cables with PVC pipe right from the rooftop-combiner-cc and battery etc. If u don't have funds then just trace ur cable carefully for possible leakages. ( option 2 is only where ur CC is not standard or locally built) My advice Calculate ur max pv voc and get a rated diode soldered along the cable just after combiner box (if u have) or before ur CC breaker and you will be fine. http://www.solar-facts.com/panels/panel-diodes.php Let us know how you're are able to resolve the issue. |

udy821: What oga DMerciful is trying to clarify from you are: Is dat 10.4A an instantaneous PV input to CC or is it CC output, and What type of CC are you using. Take a look @ 160/10.4=15.9v for a 12v system Since it is a good-sun-day, letz put PV performance/cabling to 90% . u have 13.8v or floating / tending to absorption where amperage is throttle down instead of 10.4A. Please take a review of the PV & let's us know the result. In case I need to go after such PV before it's price jump-up. Best regards 1 Like |

mcci: Sometimes buying PV modules are subjective decision. We know fast buoys are capable of rebranding best brands. If he want a reliable PV let him try sunshine solar module. He can thank me when he isolate & test them before incorporating it to upgrading during installation. I had mixed feelings when I ordered for some( particularly when people believed it is of a lower quality) surprisingly, i had a huge leap in my production almost up to nominal PV ratings. I have since been harvesting my returns immediately. I observed the design of each cells has been changed from previous design thay had. With that experience, I have since received my fresh order, installed, enjoying my investment. Depsite bad weather (as if the sun always draw clouds to cover its face) I consistently complete my 2hrs bsorption by 10.30-11am with my 3x4 setup. And always looking for what switch or put-on to keep my modules smiling. I am not advertising sunshine modules. As DIY I will say the reverse if it is not true, after all it is my investment and my setup. |

NiyiOmoIyunade: Microtek has dip-switches charging functions. However, equalization is set using high voltage switch. I have pushed my CC to 30.4v to equalised Ipowerplus and also genius SMF/vrla batteries without the inverter beeping over voltage. Indians are learning fast. 1 Like |

SolnergyPower: Thank you for your prompt supplies over the weekend. It seems You have really improved your poly panels. Their production/performance @ 3x2 out shines my previous mono of 3x2. Am really impressed and thoroughly satisfied with your after sales services too. I will not underrate poly panels again. Thank you. |

mcci: sorry for your loss my brother. i will like to know the following: 1. Did you mix PVs of different watt ratings? 2. What is the make of the PV? 3. Did you cut off the MC4 connectors to make ur 3x 2 strings? (check the possibility of insulating tape wearing out and short circuiting the string); 4. Check the surface to see if the burnt section has affected the module (if yes, you can loop/byepass that section/solar module of the PV, you can PM for a link to how to fix it)? 4. Use screwdriver to Open the Terminal Box and take readings directly from the terminals (you can get a local electrician to read-off amps etc if you can't), (also where you can't get an electrician or a meter, as a DIY -get 12v motor vehicle bulb, wires and trace & check each of the strings within the PV to determines which can be salvaged). 5. You will need to get / replace all diodes. i have seen a case where 2 diodes were plugged in and not soldered in-place and you know what that means). you will get over it, cheers. 4 Likes |

NiyiOmoIyunade: Thanks to this thread, my citizens gen set has been on holidays for 15 months counting and want it dat way. Wot has been helping nowadays is 4-5hrs grid and appliances load shading. For three months or so, I have download tons of YouTube videos of real alternative energy stuff including the self run graphite cell which voltage output i intend to use another CC to tender batteries as alternative to panels. The need to power A/C and the cost of my vrla battery bank (which i may need to replace in a year or so is almost 500k ) is giving me a thought of moving from renewable energy to real alternative energy through assembling a self power generator comprising an alternator & driving motor as shown on various videos. However, the units I have seen so far are noisy. Anyway, I have up to a year to work on it. in one of my post last year I made reference to batteries as the bane of solar power. Now I know consistent poor irradiance is the real culprit. Update on the project to come soon. 1 Like |

abunafiu: Wot a pity. Now you know the kind of wind in your area. Incorporating wind turbine, solar water heater & ur tank will also put smile on ur face against ur loss By the way, don't be in hurry to errect another. For now just pump to surface tank & save money for real galvanised steel for another overhead structure befitting a legend like you. God of renewable will put fortune on ur way soon! |
