idsolar: brother, you are asking an advert spammer to provide you answers to questions? hehehe!!! you're on a long thing oh. when did you ever see this guy post anything besides coming here to drop ads? besides, are we even sure he's not an ad robot? 11 Likes |

earthrealm, bigrovar, you guys are very much on point. sometime ago, i spoke vehemently against these frequent ads clogging the thread. a particular marketer was chief culprit then and after much heated back and forth exchanges, he was made to back down and today he's a regular contributor to discussions while still running his adverts on the side which is a good thing if you ask me. presently i have identified about two main culprits who only come here to drop off lengthy ads and make zero contributions. it's as if here is their marketplace and they think they can just come and dump their wares on us. the only time they post is when they want to advertise. no contributions to topics, no replies to questions, nothing! we may have to apply the methods we used to bring that chief marketer to the discussion table to them also. it's high time they get to know this thread is not their dumping ground. 13 Likes |

NiyiOmoIyunade: lolz niyi. again, seems you don't get my drift. i'm a stickler for single systems when it comes to charge controllers. unlike some folks who mix up fangpusun, epsolar, bluesky, etc in one single setup, i like to stick to a single product. so, after the comparison test it was a tough choice for me to make: do i throw out my two tristars along with the meter hub and switch over to midnite, get whiz bang and other accessories or do i mix them up and take my chances, see how they can work together? but these controllers don't have a common communications protocol...but it so happens that i'm already heavily invested in morningstar so the decision naturally tilted towards keeping the tristar ccs and selling off the midnite and that's why we're here right now. i would have done the same thing even if it were a schneider, appollo, victron or some other charge controller. 4 Likes |

Lolz Niyi it turned out that I'm already heavily invested in morningstar products so it was a hard decision for me to let go the midnite classic for system simplicity. despite its seemingly stellar performance during the test, no point mixing different charge controllers (in my opinion) so it has to go. |

MegaMKO: lolz. where did you dig this post from? must be over four years ago i posted this anyway, events have since overtaken that guy and we now have seasoned vendors on this thread that can supply whatever solar parts you need. all you need to do is flip one or two pages back and you will get their contacts. but if you still insist on the alaba guy, just pm me and i'll do justice. |

the zenith batteries are agm so strictly no equalization allowed although I do this on limited basis. |

as far as desulphators go, I've been using the bls (battery life saver) for years now and I must say I'm impressed with it's performance. regardless of the seemingly negative sentiments against desulpators on here, I wouldn't be caught out without one. I remember a couple years ago when thunder struck my system and damaged my first bls, the speed with which I rallied to replace it speaks volumes about the high premium I place on it's benefits. this and other good practices have ensured my zenith batteries have gone over six years now without needing replacement. 5 Likes |

niyi, that's correct. tristar mppt-60 maxes out at 60.5amps most. so i have 3 tristar ccs linked through the meter hub. 1 Like |

odilibe: odilibe, glad u're here. I was sharing experience based on our past experiment on prime focus dishes. obviously we never bothered to check out what the results would have been on offset dishes so I guess u're right. |
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by GeorgeD1(m): 7:06pm On Sep 06, 2018 |
obyback: obyback, a detailed experiment was carried out several years back on this forum using different lnbs. the inverto black ultra performed poorly compared to the other lnbs. if u must buy an inverto lnb go for the red classic. it out performed all the others by significant amount and it's what i'm still using on my 4m till date. for more details, check the now closed official thread of free to air satellite part III - V |

obyback: hello obyback, i'm glad you found those pix useful. for prime focus ku lnbs you can try star gold fuji or powersat. eurostar is also good. |

earthrealm: lolz. i guess the deal was just too sweet for peeps to resist. even for those that really don't have a need for the tristar. talk of compulsive buying (read: buying to keep) hehehe |

kiekie1: kiekie, thanks for the offer. i guess the only service part i would really need now is a brand new 300l replacement tank. if you can facilitate a like for like procurement then we are good to go. 1 Like |

DUNKA: dunka, yeah i think unfortunate is the right word. protek started out very well but now it's ending badly. so much for nigerian white label companies. however, make no mistake. i have never regretted going the solar water heater route and i still maintain it's the best thing after sliced bread. you will never believe the feeling of using hot water 365 days a year without a single kilowatt hour of electricity spent. that feeling of freedom alone is worth all the stress. if i were to do this all over again, i'll probably do things a little differently but sure enough i would install another one without thinking twice about it. |
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GeorgeD1(m): 8:51pm On Jul 06, 2018 |
DUNKA: dunka, unfortunately the answer is no. protek hasn't gotten back to me for almost a year now and i've since given up hope of ever hearing from them. apparently they have my number in their watsapp distribution list and all they do these days is push solar inverter/battery adverts to clients. no more mention of anything to do with solar water heaters. what a scam of a company! 4 Likes |

NiyiOmoIyunade: niyi, you're very much on point. sometime last year i did a review on tristar vs midnite cc. the midnite won narowly but just. recall that the winning points were mostly on aesthetics/effizy and not necessarily on core performance. if i were to do the same review today, having now being weaned off the grip of that glamorous looking midnite lady, the morningstar cc would win hands down p.s: by the way, i have since reverted back to morningstar. solid state all the way! |

chuckdee, if you're using the magnum ms4348pe with the advanced remote me-arc50, there is a button for turning off the charger completely. Also, you can program the charger to cut-off and cut-in at certain times of the day, say from 6am to 6pm. This among many options make the magnum a very robust beast of an inverter.

hello maboyarin, i used to have the cyberpower cps5000pro (5kva) eu model but that was sold like a year ago. it didn't have that feature you're talking about. i'm sorry i can't be of help. |

DMerciful: dmerciful, seems you may have yet another damaged tristar coming your way from my end. the evil pv switch-off before battery error caught up with me and one of my cc is toast. i learnt the only savvy guy in alaba is forming too busy and doesn't seem ready to devote enough time to diagnose and fix. i guess he has too much big fish on his plate already. i will be grateful if you can take a look and see what can be done. |

mcTrinity: mctrinity, seems you missed the part in my post where i said i don't charge with phcn. i only put on the inverter charger to confirm the output dc current yesterday morning after which i promptly went back to solar only mode. the 50% charge rate was set a long time back and has remained so even though i hardly use that feature. 1 Like |
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GeorgeD1(m): 6:38pm On Jun 01, 2018 |
kiekie1: ok looks like it's the input amps that can go as high as 100a and above. my own inverter is set at 50% charge rate and as at this morning i'm seeing 32 amps dc output meaning max charging amps (100% setting) would be something around 64 amps dc. thanks for the observation. have corrected my post accordingly although i hardly charge with shore power (phcn, gen, etc). |
