henro4niger:
Good day house, I have read through numerous pages and I'm impressed with the conversation going on in this thread and the amount of smart people we have in here. Please I am in abuja and I want to setup solar in my house. I plan to get 2.4kva solar system as that will take care of all my needs.

Please I need help with the setup. Kindly recommend equipment combinations, size and if possible brands, please I am on a tight budget

1. Charge controller
2. Solar panels
3. Inverter make (for someone on a budget but works well)
4. Battery make and size.

Kindly share any trusted abuja plug

Price?

I'll advice the buyer to take the refund. All this argument will not make seller send the item.. that's for the person insisting he gets something similar n send to d buyer. That's why I use escrow when I'm dealing with someone new. Pay for item, waybill n av ur money if item is intact. Les say futurefocus gave him the excuse of broken item. Escrow go refund buyer still. Since d item no even damage for buyer hand. Its more reason to b thankful say u no waste money. Collect refund n move on Mr. Buyer. Better deals dey front

2 300w poly for 105k is cool deal. Just make sure u check d panel amp reading with multimeter if its close to wat is stated on d stick u can buy. Make Dem no go sell u working dead

Buy from yingli. Their contact dey google

soladavies:
Please can you recommend a trusted solar panel seller

Their 400w is 100k

Kaybaba5:
For how much sir

Is it 110a on 24v or 12v. I guess it's 24v by d size of dat inverter. If so. 600w won't b enough for 2600w battery. If ure on a tight budget u can get 2 400w yingli from Lagos. Dey can send to ur state as well.

Kaybaba5:
I need advise I have 110ah lithium battery
Have gotten 2kw inverter and 60amps charger controller. I was told to get 600w slolarpanel
Am. In Delta I saw one 320w polycloud solar panel on jumia don't know if it's OK. Thanks

Are u interested in selling d flooded batteries?

jonescosmos:
Thanks Bro, that small Gen is already eating Xmas rice in the village The Big Gen is on Sabbatical Leave here. Just taking up space.

This my initial setup have been seriously upgraded and awaiting further upgrade of 8+8+8(600W) Canadian Solar Panels going with 16KW Deye Hybrid Inverter with 3 inbuilt MPPTs + Felicity 15KW x2 LifePo4 Batteries.

The 5KW Felicity x3 and the 4x220Ah FLD Batteries might be the Backup you adviced if I don't get buyers for them.

Incase u will b changing those batteries to lithium phosphate which I'll recommend. Pls hit me up. I av someone that needs those used tubular batteries.

drered:
Hi Guys,

My first post here. This is my current set up and I’m thinking of upgrading the batteries. I have heard in the past that adding new batteries to a set up would mess the whole grid up and I don’t know how true this is. I am also looking at getting a lithium battery but I’m not sure if my kartel inverter would be compatible with it.

Please advise.

Setup - 5.0KVA 24V Kartel inverter, MPPT solar charge controller, Four 350W solar panels and two 220AH Luminous batteries.

5 400w in series will do. Wats ur panels voc. If its 50v+/-1 den 4 panels will do.

TechGeek777:
I have checked this and the minimum voltage for the MPPT to be able to start working is (150vdc), that means it would require me to connect at least 4s2p Panels.

I need hybrid with Max 150vdc so I can do 2s2p 400W Panels.

Do you have idea if the 3kw can power 2hp submersible pumping machine?

Others should please also look into this.

60w on 5v is 12,000mah
This is for charging phone alone sheybi

luvablesam:
Please guys is a 60w Lithium battery any good?

All speedaf items are cleared in Lagos so Lagos showing on ur track record is 5n. But Ado ekiti showing on item that's meant to b delivered to Lagos address is not normal. It's better he calls them to clarify stuffs.

aklid:
normally …..it’ll get to you..sometimes usually my package passes through Lagos before coming to Abuja and sometimes Niger

@ fhranchez Incase u need one of the monitor in the picture

ojeysky:
I have this available for sale incase you want to buy. I think mine are 200A(will reconfirm)

The purpose is to blowout Incase there's a short higher than 15a. D diode is built inside an mc4 connector. I think that can handle the fireworks. Yh. Current from d panel is meant to flow in 1 direction. Backflow will damage d panel if higher than d figure of max series fuse. N a pair is lesser than price of 1 fuse with d holder.

NiyiOmoIyunade:
No diodes are not fuses - diodes allow current to flow in only one direction. If I recall correctly a diode burns out if higher than rated amps pass through it - the burnout is in such a manner as may cause a fire or other damage. Fuses are designed to fail safely when the circuit they protect is overloaded.

Decent panels usually have diodes built in same as the charge controllers - I am wondering what OP is trying to achieve substituting a diode for a fuse - if the goal is to protect your panels from perhaps some short or other failure then use a combiner box with breakers per string of panels or if you really want to use fuses then take the time and trouble to do it right.

Who knows if this diodes can function like fuse. They are way cheaper than fuse n fuse holders. More than 2x cheaper sef

Not like that. U need a standalone monitor like the 1 below

fhranchez:
ques 1: yes, lead acid(gel)
Ques 2: shunt, the pwm controller has a amp monitor
Ques 3: north or south, I'm not sure

Are u using a lead acid battery. If yes.. Do u av a shunt battery monitor installed in ur system or any type of monitor that shows the amount of amps coming n going out of ur battery? Wat side is ur panel facing. (N, E, S or W)

fhranchez:
Hello solar gurus, sorry to disrupt your earthing argument. I have another argument myself that ensued between me and a installer this evening. I was lamenting about the 40% drop of amps from my panels this dry season to him and suspected the culprit to be dust & heat combined.

To my surprise, he insisted that dust was a minor factor reducing my panel output. He diagnosed my failing battery as the major factor for the amps drop.

So please, is there any way a weak battery can result to lesser output from my panels?

Yh. Stick to the manufacturer max fuse

TechGeek777:
Noted with thanks, since 380W won't cause damage that's what am going for.

It has Isc of 10.77a, Max series fuse rating of 20A, with 2p2s that will be (10.77 * 2 = 21.54A).

Do you think 30A fuse will be too much or should I stick with manufacturer recommendation of 20A fuse?

I remember this cracked panels, I was scared to buy den.

odimbannamdi:
I am scared of answering the question in your penultimate sentence, make you no find me come house... ...but going by my current set up, I would do so if I were in your shoes.

In fact, I actually have 4 units of 540w on my roof, but I have only 2 connected since I am on a 12v connection. When I upgrade to 24v and connect all 4 units, I should be doing x2 of what i am currently doing now, on the same CC. But, let more experienced folks give their advise as well.

As to the last question in your last sentence, yes it should. I have observed it do 762w before, so it is very likely to have done 800w and more. I don't always observe it

Yes. Connect it in 2p2s. Ie connect 2 pairs in parallel n connect the pairs in series. If d panel nah 500w say 50v 10a. U'll av 100v 20a flowing through ur wire. Make sure u check ur panel max series fuse. N use the rated fuse for d penels Incase there is a short. So ur panels can b safe.

TechGeek777:
Please guys is it safe to use 350W Jinko Panel * 4 (i.e 1400W) in 24v system using MakeSkyBlue 60A CC, considering the CC Max allowed Watts @24v is 1440W?

2.5kva transformer(toroidal) based go work.
U just won't b able to use ur pumping machine with d washing machine. Infact while pumping d likes of tv, freezer and washing machine must b off. 1hp will take something around to 1200w continuous draw. I'll advice u go for lifepo4 batteries too.

emmy9500:
I have check the power ratings of the devices

80w TV
126W fan (2)
Washing machine - 370W
Freezer- 160w
Pump is 1HP( I don’t know that watts equivalent)
15 10W bulb
5 bulbs (energy saving, don’t know their power ratin)

Crown Ricco plus. Idle consumption is less or equal to 28w. It has a big toroidal transformer inside it. N d inverter is very heavy.

TechGeek777:
Please bro which brand is this inverter and what's the idle consumption is it less than 20W?

514 I think

Sonrexx:
What was Zenith Bank Exchange rate ?

Zenith bank works. UBA on the other hand didn't work for me.

Sonrexx:
Have you tried again ?
Besides who knows the current Zenith Bank Exchange rate ?
@Olamak1 do you know their(Zenith) current rate ?

U will need to check d name plate of the freezer. But my guess is 130w. My 160l freezer is 109w
Pumping machine is how many hp. I'm using 0.75hp n my 2.5kva displays 53% usage wen it's on.
Wat kind of fan
Check ur tvs back but Im guessing like 100w. Mine is 74
For the lightening.. u might decide to buy 5w bulbs if ur current type is consuming more
Check ur laptop adapter for d wattage. If u can't figure it out. State d model.
Wat kind of washing machine. Check d name plate.
In my honest opinion. Ditch those lead acid batteries for lifepo4. U wont b spending up to 100k more for more power n durability n longevity. U won't b spending up to 1m even if u decide use lifepo4 with 1200w panels sef

emmy9500:
The load are basic house hold appliances

One medium freezer
Pumping machine
Fans
TV
Lighting
Washing machine
Laptops/phones ….

E will b charging 2400w daily. If he's doing 50% dod. 800w is truly not enough considering the fact that other appliances will b on during sunlight. But if he's on a tight budget. That will do.

isangjohnson:
Though the day time loads aren't stated but charging 5280wh tubular battery bank to daily float from 800w pv will be difficult unless grid will give 70% support while pv will give 30% support. If not 1600w pv should be considered.

Is there any reason u want to pull 2,500w out of 2 lead acid batteries? I don't no ur load but There are flaws in the quotation. Cause I think
A 2.5kva inverter with continuous power of 2kw n surge of 6kw will handle ur load just 5n n u'll get 1 for 150k.
D charge controller is pwm n u won't get optimal conversion from ur panels go for powmr. Someone here has some units... 1 is 62k (last I checked).
I'll advice u get 2 400w panels(800w) for 200k than 4 200w(also 800w) for 240k.
If ure in Lagos u can get 6mm cables in alaba for 1k/yd.
The change over is too big. Buy d medium 100a type. U won't b pulling more than 10a through it after all. It's 2k.
Don't no why he's getting big PVC. The normal PVC will accommodate 16mm cable just 5n. It's 400 for 1 trunk. U can't use more than 2.
The components connection cable is too low for N900/yd. U need 16mm n it's 2200/yd.. 3-4yd max. U need to components close to each other.
If u can up ur budget small. U can still get 130a lifepo4 battery 8 pieces (400k) plus 40k BMS. This will save u from buying battery capacity monitor, battery rack, watching out for 50% DOD n change d battery in 2-3 years of use.
