Nobody is stopping you from conducting your own independent testing. Nobody owes you nothing! The guy I know here that tests capacity does so on his own dime but see how you are talking as if you employed them.

Na you go give us reviews be that

Bankyshinani:
Yes,I don buy am make I no spend the money... Do you have any reviews on the product so I will know what to expect?
Thanks

Something wey you Don already buy?

Bankyshinani:
Solar products is now scarce in the market o.(Alaba). I just got a sako 4.2kva inverter today after moving round market looking for itel or haisic. What i could only get is luxsun and sako,so I settled for sako... please house,how could is this inverter cos I will be mounting it tomorrow?

Hybrid. Bread 1.5kva

cyif2003:
Is ur inverter hybrid or normal one. How many kva?

I don't know what everyone have against 12v systems ó. But if you are not running hot plate, ac, microwave 12v can work for you. My 12v carries all appliances in my house. I don't use my microwave with it. But my washing machine, fridge and freezer, TV and fans all work well.

bassdow:
in addition to what's said by @Unfaized, at lower Voltage, you need more current hence 24v system is more efficient than 12v system BUT same 24v system is not as efficient as 36v system and same 36v system is not as efficient as 48v system and same 48v system is not as efficient as 96v system, and so on.
So you see, the Higher the voltage system, the more efficient the system is and that also translates to longer battery life.

Now when you alre coming from a 12v system, there's always no room for upGrade to higher systemhence you end up dispossing off the entire thing and starting again from begining which means you spend much more.

I also kinda agree with @dollarnaira BUT it really need be stressed that it doesn't always apply + you really need know what you doing which if you do, wouldn't be asking this question in the first place. There's a reason @dollarnaira said you Must use Sense.

Personally, I run both 12v system and 48v system and guess what, I have reasons why I still run 12v system despite having a much more efficient 48v system. mind you, even my 12v system doesn't even run with inverter HENCE it's even much more efficient than a lot of 12v systems out there.

So except you know what you doing (have sense) like said by @dollarnaira, and your useCase favours such 12v system, you are always better off with something higher.

of course if your load is just a small TV, charging of phpoones, a couple of Lights, and a couple of DC fans, then by all means use 12v system as it's much more cheaper. In fact you could add small fridge / freezer if you have solar panels to help.


In physics, there's reason we have the formular P=IV and guess what, you can't reduce voltage without increasing current and no matter how much sense you wanna use, the P would always remain constant else something would be wrong someWhere. Let's pretend to also notice the formular V=IR which also plays it's own role.

Yes

hoover420:
Quick question, once the battery is full, any watt coming from the panel will be used on any load carried on the inverter right. I mean if my total load is 250w and the PV is producing above that, does that mean we are using the sun directly?

Well I have 2 535w and I get 650w before 10am it only reduces when my battery is full

SourYoghurt:
I have 3x 550w jinko for my 12v 2kva inverter and on a regular charging I get 350w, I need to mention that I treat it like an egg, max load it takes is less than 150w, but I get up to 1.2kw input from the panels when I am blending during the day. I think some of these inverters behaves like ajebo when they don't have enough loads.

2 possibilities : it's either it is a fake or the angle that you installed it.

hoover420:
I got this particular panel and I thought it was just small panel till it got delivered. Infact I had to wait till everyone was out and in the evening before I installed because I know if the landlady see it, she might not accept to get it installed. Now the installer is telling me that I’ll need atleast 2 to allow my inverter to charge fast. I was like which kind wahala be this one. A 1.5kva inverter though.
Now my question is, can I get a lower panel like 200 watt to compliment it or I’ll have to buy that exact 535 watt bi facial panel again?
Meanwhile since I installed it 5 days ago, the highest it has produced is 250 watt and lower, I don’t know it it is due to the weather or that is the highest it would be generating

AyobamiOluwole:
Has anyone ever run their Fridge on a modified sine wave satchet inverter before?

How was the experience? Is it advisable?


For more context:
It’s an LG REFRIGERATOR of 199Litres.

No. Better to buy a pure sine wave. That modified some wave dey get choco sometimes even with phone charger

Is this true?

Opistorincos:
You want to series your current 12v battery with the used one you're hoping to buy? If the batteries do not have the same BMS, that is a recipe for disaster.

My neighbour Don buy am

codemaster2much:
Good morning chief, do you still have you old solar panels? i am looking to start small and dont have much money at the moment, on my inverter solar journey, I use a 220ah 12 battery, if so I dont mind buying them from thee

My bro, 9am, 2 535w Don dey give me 660w

adibo:
OK, thanks, and we are 100% of the quality of their panels, right?

Yes. I bought mine there

adibo:
I heard they are for buying in installments. Can I pay instantly and get the panels from them immediately?

Please which shunt can I use for my battery

Series náà. If it is 2 panels. But if you want to add more panels it has to be parallel

sirneyo2005:
Please what is the best way to connect two 650watt solar panels to a 12v system currently connected in parallel thinking of changing to series to reduce stress on cables but I feel that current might exceed the 20% spike during cold weather. charge controller is 60amps with maximum voltage of 135v, PV cable is 2by8 10mm copper cable. Thanks for your response

Cdcare

adibo:
Where else can one buy jinko panels? Fouani are out of stock and don't have any panels at all

Please don't buy tubular. Also go for large panels. Telling you this from experience

rayvelez:
Hello guy please I need your advice as my sister is about to pay for 3.2kva inverter installation to power her 2 freezer cold drinks business… her total budget is 1.5M. Is it advisable to go for tubular batteries as the attachment below say… Abeg don’t air me

sunnymighty:
For how much ? and what is the duration? One, two or three months?

15k 1 month

Airtel 100gb available. Shikini money

Bro Na the mc4 connectors ó. Ẹ Don burn. I have Done it the old ways like you did yours. Everything is working perfectly. @9am I am already getting 650w from 2 535w panels. In anything you do, buy original jinko panels

fuckboys:
maybe you didn't use a panel rack placing the panels directly on the roof. Check very well some wires already burned out under intense heat and touching the roof or causing bridging.

Something like this has happened to me before until I use panel rack.

Bro, it is jinko 535W. I have called the guy that mounted the panels.

fuckboys:
what type of solar panels is that?

Trace your solar cables up to the panels, or use a multimeter to check for bridges in the solar cable.

My inverter is bread, 500v max 15a max. The 2 panels are in series.

AyobamiOluwole:
What is your inverter Max Pv voltage and what your panel’s open circuit voltage?

Guys abeg, my wife got home to see our inverter beeping with error code 04. I told her to swith off the breaker one by one till we found out that it is the pv input that is causing the fault. When I got home, I isolated the breaker cos I just got that 2 days ago (still the same). The moment I disconnected the pv cable from the breaker it stops. My inverter is currently working when my pv cable disconnected. But when the pv cable is connected it starts to hum and show fault code 04. This was around 6:30pm. I just replaced my old panels to 2 535 in series 2 days ago. Anyone with similar experience

Yes.

Did the wires become cool after the upgrade?

lungwun:
Just received word that a connection lost their home on Sunday due to Solar/Inverter/Battery system fire.

Are there any IP65 rated batteries and Inverters? If i jump into solar because AEDC are more useless than two follicles of hair, I really do not want it in my house anymore.

IP65 rating will help with outdoor placement

make people no cut cost on wires. Wires and breakers are major cause of these fires. An installer once used a 1.5mm wire for my inverter connection. Once day I went there as a curious person and I saw that the wires are burning already. The insulation was already burnt. I upgraded everything to 2.5mm.

Don't try it o.

Pls house can I use the charger below to charge lifepo4 or lithium ion battery. I only saw lead acid in the description?
