I’ll advise getting the 590w or 620w (not tested yet) if you’re later able to buy on fouani or offline

Had an existing panel, that's why I stuck with 555w. Now, I'm discovering that the existing panel is not as it seems,as it supplies me around 270w max @ peak sunshine.

Plus the difference between 555 and 615 is 'only' 60W ...

Pv panel finally came in. 555W Jinko. I can now see why many people prefer smaller panels, particularly in tall buildings. Thing is as heavy as lead. Getting it up a roof can be a serious hassle.

Also I realised that the previous one I ordered from Alaba was polycrystalline, and was not up to the slated 550w. It was a rip-off that couldn't have been more than 400W. Those ppl are crooks.

Now I'm wondering whether to still run it in parallel with the 555w or just stick to the 555w alone...

You should get more than the 555 sha. Fouani will show you how much you will be paying for delivery on their website. Mine was ₦15k.

I didn't see the delivery quote on the payment site for some interesting reason.
I have an existing 550w but it's not good enough. So I need a better one. I'll just parallel both so the output can be better.

twosquare:
Nothing special. The Ecoflow Delta 2.
Setup: Jinko solar panel 555 (you can go for more so far it stays within the maximum amps and voltage), Mc4 to X60 connectors (12AWG; the lower the number, the better).

Boss how did you determine how much to pay to ship your panel from fouani? I wish to get the 555w & I'm in Akure.

KingGeedorah:
About 3 weeks ago, thieves entered my apartment whilst l was at work and stole my Ecoflow D2, Tv and other items.

They even carried the Box for the D2 and solar connector.

Omo, l am still perplexed as l looked my door in the morning and meet my door locked when l returned from work.

And it's not like there was any forced entry.

Aw shucks. So sorry to hear this. May the loss be recovered swiftly.

The story is rich and it's an encouragement to all.
But the shade on a particular tribe is a distaste for me.
The truth is Tosin's case of assistance is still on on the exceptional cases. All tribes are guilty of the same thing.
Even in that same Lagos do you know of how many moniepoints would have come up before Tosin's moniepoint?
I will prefer a post on how Tosin's ability attracted that man to invest in his project rather than the tribal/regional castigation, after all we all are guilty of it one way or the other

I agree with you. The Yorubas are not perfect at all. In fact, this is just one success story out of many failures. Besides, the Igbos are far more adept at business growth and partnerships than the Yorubas.
So this post should rather have been about the attributes and secret ingredients through which Moniepoint was built and succeeded.

thuao:
Thank you for the reply
I am definitely not putting anything more than 500w on it


But what does the bypass mean.

Bypass simply means you can use the device while charging. Several other products do not support pass-through current.

So I eventually connected the D2 to power the whole house

The issue now is that, I wanted a load separación, so the most sockets in the kitchen will not be on the D2, but on Nepa,
However, the way the house was wired make it almost imposible as the kitchen and parlor on the same phase or so
Meaning I can separate the kitchen power from the D2 without affetcting parlor as well.

But I saw that while, charging with AC/Nepa and using the D2, that the device has a bypass capacity , that allows power from mains to go to the house directly, bypassing the D2.

Pls I need exact info on this

Does it mean, when there is light, I can use anything, since the light will bypass the D2.

You can only use below the rated 1800W power of the D2

Its a new solar panels, I explained to the seller that I need Jinko panel, which in accordance to him, he doesn't have but Canadian which I opted for only to get to home and during testing, found out it was Sun power brand I was given. And its place on open space in the compound I stay facing the sun and not on ceiling.

Prior to this, first Canadian panel had issue with my MC4 as no light input was observe on Ecoflow which necessitate my running and get another, now the above is still not given what I expected and he is saying my station will need two solar panels.

That guy played a smart one. You should return the one he sold you. He should at least replace it with jinko or what you asked for, not what he felt like selling you. Be firm.

webminister:
Please house help

I really don't understand this.

I have tried to see how to get above 200 w from my new w panel yet during sunny day the highest that comes into this solar stations isn't more is 140w

And note I'm using a 310w solar and having complain tirelessly to seller he is aying I need more panel in addition or highest like 550watt panel to get the need solar powe watt input I'm looking for .

Please what should I do?

Thanks

Is it a fairly used panel? What is the brand? and is the orientation to the sun optimal?

thuao:
Pls I need answer
Can I go ahead with 590w panel or I shud stick to 550w
I av already ordered the D2
I want to get the solar panel and other accessories now
Thanks

What's the voltage specs of the 590W? You may order it as long as the max voltage is not over 60V.

Amazing. Do you know if this 555W is still available

oz4real83:
This is exactly what most married men go through, they carry all family responsibilities, whether the women are working or not, and yet they don't threaten to leave the marriage all because the wives are not making financial contributions to the marriage. . A woman is doing what most men have always done, she complains and wants to leave the marriage . May God bless our men.

And this is the problem. A woman switches roles and plays the man's role, empowering him to be less than a man because she is bearing the responsibilities of their family and so on. Then she cries foul because the man is not 'manning up'. No man will ever man up in that condition. You have empowered him thus far. The trend will only continue.

A lot of evil has been taught in the name of submission. Taking care of a man (and his responsibilities) is not submission. It is empowering him to become less of a man.
Now you are crying foul; the man is not the main problem. You are. You became something that you were not meant to be.

OP, move out of the house and renew your mind with the right information. Find yourself. Become who you should be, not who society is imposing on you.

Go and check Airtel, they have increased their tariff (100 %). Calls 100 percent and data too. It is only Glo that's yet to increase their own, though I don't use Glo line.

Please when did Airtel increase their tariff? I did not notice it yet

So, let me journal here for the sake of others and the future who will learn from it. I used our submersible water pump on the Delta 2. It is rated 350 watts. You can see the specs in the screenshot. I don't know if anything had been changed in the pump, but the first surge is around 1000 watts before it settled at 915 watts continuous load.

The fans, as usual, came on fully, and at 100% battery, I only had 1 hour, or should I say 56 minutes, as registered on the screen. Well, it handled it well and pumped for that 60 mins because we have not had light in our compound for 4 days since the first rain.

WHAT NOT TO DO: Immediately after use, I decided to charge it since the battery was already depleted to 7%. When I plugged it in, a red symbol of a thermometer flashed on the screen continuously. It won't charge or go away.

WHAT I DID: Reset the BMS, allowed the Delta 2 to cool, and even opened a standing fan on it to hasten the "cooling". I read the solution online on what to do when such a flash signal happens. It means the internal temperature is high.

In fact, fear first caught up with me say hope no be say my stuff don pai now, upon all my partner's warnings not to use it.

So, when you continuously use something heavy on it, before you rush to charge it, wait it out for an hour or more before charging again. My submission.

Hmm. Everybody go dey bow for your D2. Sha be careful. 🤣

oladele239:
Nope I'm using a 545 watts panel
I wish I had just done the 600+

Oh is that so? Thing is on a cloudy day, one might just be averaging less than 200W on a single panel. This may not be good enough.

oladele239:
For D2 just get a 650 watts panel if you can and save yourself the stress !

Still Jinko? is that what you're using? how many watts do you get from it?

twosquare:
Not for Ecoflow, but DIY solar systems... Not possible with that. It will fry it. max voltage for Delta 2 is around 60...amps is 15 max.

One Jinko is 13.54 amps, and the voltage is 40.99 or so...using two will just puff...

Series multiplies the voltage, parallel multiplies the current. D2 will take the 15A it needs from the current pool, it's only the voltage we need to watch out for. So yeah parallel connection works.

I'm looking to overpanel before the cloudy days

twosquare:
Oh, okay...better. When I move to my own house, I will overpanel, with proper setup. Better for faster charging and load...including on cloudy days.

So connecting 2 x 550w jinko in parallel will do the trick, yes?

Babatundehy:
Does anyone have good information about a reputable, tested and trusted brand making lithium ion phosphate battery? I'm looking to buy one, 12v 100ah, the 12v 100ah Ecoflow branded battery on JUMIA is about 425k. There are other brands like odiple and cordi energy on jumia, and they cost 100k less than the Ecoflow's.
I'm already thinking to go for the Ecoflow as I want to assume the BMS in that of Ecoflow will be better than that in these not-so-popular brands, I stand corrected 🫢, thus I'm putting this up here.
I have read reports of the BMS failing in brands like c worth and even felicity, I definitely do not want to deal with that, I'll be waiting for your replies 🫡😊

Is there extra battery for river 2 pro?

My favourite was Ifeanyi and Obi.

Here are pictures of the device and 110w outdoor solar panel

Looks very much like D2. I guess it's D3?
If so, it's a good buy.

aieromon:
The regular Ecoflow Delta 1260Wh aka 1300
https://www.ecoflow.com/us/delta-portable-power-station

Ecoflow Delta 2 is 1000Wh while Delta Max is 2016Wh.

Looks good. Is it available in the Nigerian market? Is it within your budget?

clark0:
Is this particular model durable ?

I don't seem to know this model. Can you post a picture of it?

Laughnow419:
I over paneled

honestly, one has to do this before the rains begin and solar panels begin to get more expensive...

iamlammy:
I hit 407w on the Jinko 555w Solar Panel today

Y'all who did due diligence to buy new panels are the ones enjoying. I'm suffering and smiling with 250W output from the fake 'follow-come' 550W 'canadian solar' panel I bought from alaba.

Ajascary:
I noticed there's one Delta 2 that's around 795k which is way cheaper than the one listed on jumia. I hope the one on konga is legit

It has no reviews, plus I've never bought anything on Konga before, so I say stay away.

@Bigdickproblem @hydronium
Thank you all for your valuable contributions on this my journey into solar usage.

As of today, by God's help I was able to make a purchase of the recommended solar and I'm just waiting for delivery.

Please as regards the solar panel should it be Jinko brand or any , as I can see Canadian solar brand during my search on net, so which should I purchase. Please do recommend.

Thanks.

Good for you!

Buy new Jinko or Canadian Solar
Avoid used panels.
