When u get the type of cable used. If it's a DC cable...10mm.. den u can cancel out cable aspect. Next is to the amps generated by each panel n d type of connected don for them. The panels might b those used panels sold as new.
They might series all those panels. Given the fact that the CC can take up to 500vdc. But if those panels are not generating enough amps each. The high volts will just b figure head.

Elcapitan0:

We will find out on cable size and specifications used and communicate. The orientation was not so bad as it was installed on an flat roof. I'll try upload a pics for further clarification.
P.S The sun rises from the other end of the roof and sets on the side of the roof where the panels are.

100k? For wat exactly. This shows you didn't even take any moment to read few pages back. Ur budget can't buy any decent battery alone, talkless of other components. Kindly read some pages back to know prices of items needed.

wayisshut:


I am looking @ at budget between 80- 100k

Sunking can power 5 cctv for 5hrs... Neva
How much is ur budget for d setup fess

wayisshut:
hello my people. I am looking for a very cost effective way to hook up a small solar system to power only a cctv setup. Just 5 cctv cameras, a router, dvr , power plug. for about 5 to 7 hrs during the day. not totally offgrid anyway sometimes our "NEPA" is available. Can sunking power box suffice?

Enter Jiji n check for different inverter prices. Message dem to confirm price.
There are few of principles I can't begin to explain inorder to answer this oda question. But I'll say this. if u will use 400w panel go for yingli. It's 120k or so. Mppt CC ofcourse

ianian:
I want to upgrade my 12v system to 24v as I wanna add a solar setup to help PHCN charging. I already have 2 X 220ah batteries.

I need help, I need know the price range of an afriipower 2.5kva 24v

I read somewhere here that 2 pieces of 400watts panel is preferred to 4 pieces of 200watts. (What is the cost of one 400watts panel please)

Lastly, do you advice a pwm or mppt for this setup. Thanks

E should not add any panel. Best is for him to bring those panels down n test them one after d other.. something is wrong somewhere. It's either the panels orientation is poor or some of d panels are bad or cable problem.

Elcapitan0:
Hello guys. Please i have an issuei need your expertiseon. My friend have a 5kva 48v felicity hybrid inverter with 8 400w panel. The problem he is encountering is that most times, the panels does not fully charge on a well sunny day as the maximum he ever got was 800w showing with not too serious usage . He is of the opinion adding more panels which I told him to hold on for now. On the spec sheet of his inverter, i saw max solar voltage to be 145V and i saw an 'off grid' hybrid 5kva felicity inverter with 500V max solar voltage.
(Don't know if they are different). Please guys what can be done?
The last pics was the off geid inverter i saw

I won't advice u buy used imported panels..

Kabawhat:
Is this deal worth it


Solar panels US used not brand new 180 watts

Mono 38k
Poly 35

U should be less concerned with the peak power as this is d surge rating. Continuous draw is all that matters. Don't go above 900w as advised.

osayuwamwen:
They wrote 4.5kva as peak power

Lol

mctfopt:


At least the installed used trunk. The things I've seen where the installation looks like olden days NITEL cable lines

His work no neat at all. Especially the way e placed the PVC Trunks.

osayuwamwen:
No installer

Ur setup is ok for starter. Did u do all that ursef?

osayuwamwen:
Thought they said mppt controller are better, am using 60a Felicity controller

If there is no load on it. Den we can say 12v is very close to 50%. But if appliances dey ontop. D real battery voltage might b 12.5 or something. Best is to buy those battery monitor with 4 different wires connected to the shunt. E can b using 1200w discharge level or do the LVD n hvd settings in order to calibrate the monitor SOC.

dollarnaira:


12.0 is roughly 50%.
Check the charging voltage on the sticker of the battery.

Is there any nipost support number someone fit call. My item has been with them since 18th. I don check post office taya.

All panels are not the same. Some panels have low amp high volt.

earthrealm:

@techgeek, are you sure?..most hv hybrids have 240v as nominal input voltage.

@trippledots. Really
A huge error on your part if true...am suprised it even generated any meaningful output.
You are an old hand here...
Anyway, waiting for ur clarification

No. D cc max DC input is 150v. Ur panels voc is wat will determine how u will arrange it.

TechGeek777:


Okay thanks. For your Techfine CC, does your seller have 80A variant?

Do you know if the Max 3200W/48v for the 60A variant can carry Jinko Half-Cut 380W * 8 (3040W)?

No idea. That's exactly how my inverter looks like. Most of these companies do rebranding. It might even occur that both of them are not actually the real owners. Just added their own name to d inverter.

TechGeek777:


Between Crown Ricco Plus and Grovolt Ricco Plus sold by [url] https://onyxline.com.ng/product/grovolt-offgrid-inverters-3-5kva-2800w-48v-rp-3548/ [/url], do you know who copied each other?

I'll recommend crown Ricco. For standalone. There are various models o. Read few pages back. We discussed on that already. Incase u decided to go for it after considering other alternatives. U can hit me up. I'll connect u with a seller.

Sunnystooth:

A standalone please, because I already have a good MPPT charge controller... Thanks.

I use Solar alone. Incase u plan on changing urs with AC. D inverter has 30a AC charger

temi4fash:


You use just solar to charge it or you use external AC charger

Google the model number on the inverter. If no model number. Use Google lens to scan d inverter and check for d 24v variant of the suggestions e bring come or start putting load on it starting with 1kw to see d percentage of load e go show u. If e show 55-60% on 1kw is most like 2kw inverter.

emmy9500:
A friend of my is moving into an apartment that have solar installed, we went to check the house but we couldn’t determine the capacity of the inverter but I took pics of the information on the inverter. My oga’s please what does these means

A standalone or hybrid?

Sunnystooth:


I don plead tire... Please house help with recommendations naaa, I don't want to make mistake again.

A good 24V 3.5KVA inverter with budget around 250k naira.

Thanks.

TechGeek777:

Okay please do let me know if you are able to lay your hands on the manual.

Can you give the seller's details?

Oh. Aiit boss

Valto:
i can sell 4pcs of 160ah, can couple 12v 160ah lifepo4 lithium battery.

The seller definitely won't b able to answer this.

TechGeek777:


Can you drop the seller details maybe I can ask him/her directly

As regards ur inverter. I av no experience with d type
Jinko is more expensive
Yingli on d oda hand is within d price stated
Check a page back.. someone dropped Luminous authorized sellers link. Dey will give u d actual price.. would av preferred u going for lifepo4 as u will steadily break that 50% DOD on Lead acid, but valto no dey sell 4 pieces
Felicity charge controller is expensive. Especially d 60a variant. Buy techfine 60a from justcallemmanuel for 85k
Other items are also sold her on this thread.

staticstring:
Good morning, I would like to set up a 1.5kva off-grid solar system with the primary usage of powering my laptop:130W, Wi-Fi 18W, portable fridge 85W, 5 energy saving bulbs, ox standing fan 54W and charging my phones.

After reading through some of the pages of this thread, I was able to come up with the list below and the likely price tag:
1 unit of Felicity FL-IVPS1512 Li 1.5kva Inverter 12V pure sine wave inverter (lithium battery wake-up function)

2 units of Jinko/ Yingli Panels: 2*450 watts: 240k

1 unit of 200ah Tubular Luminous battery: 170k

1 unit of Felicity Charge controller:

1 unit of Tomzn AVR/Current limiter - 10k

1 unit of Watt Meter
1 unit of Battery Rack
Wires


I need someone experienced to review my list and help me arrive at the best and complete list of all the components and materials needed for the setup. I would like to set up the system in the coming days, working with a budget of 600k.

I’ll also appreciate recommendations on where to get the original components. I’m new to Solar systems but I’m curious about it. I want to purchase the items myself if possible. I might need help with the installation.

Thanks

24v. Don't no where I dropped d Manual. Would av checked d datasheet.

TechGeek777:


How many volt is this 24v or 48v & what is the peak efficiency?

No. 60a max

Namzy:


Can this size wire handle 150 amps

It's still $9 with shipping n it takes 3weeks to get to Nigeria n u will need a dollar card . If u don't know how to order or av a dollar card. WhatsApp me with delivery details. I'll epp u order @725/$

FEGEITOK:


First of all, I want to thank you.

The next issue on my mind, including shipping approximately how much did this cost you?

That is just the product price, I assume.

Finally, if I were to buy this, this will be a first for me from this website. So how long did it take to arrive in Nigeria? Did you have issues with customs or the price including shipping incorporated customs duty?

@osayuwamwen
Check this out

TechGeek777:


Authorized dealer of Luminous products https://www.luminousnigeria.com/nrgt-plus#contact-us

I got it from AliExpress. It's 9$

FEGEITOK:


Please brand/model and/or pictures.

I believe I need this.

Thanks in advance.

I don't plan on banking on any warranty.
Continuous draw 2.8kw
Surge is 8.4kw

If ure big on warranty. I'll advice u go for Felicity

TechGeek777:


How do you intend to handle this if something happens?

What is the continues draw for your variant for 3.5kva

It's been over 6months can't recall the exact month. Warranty card came with it but I doubt they av repair centers in Lagos... My variant is 2.5kva. the 2.4kva is a different type.. check d first image. My type is the second image. I used to av 1.5kva Inverter and immediately put on my pumping machine, d inverter wont stop noise with red light blinking till I off it. Even though the calculated power draw on paper is 550w.. one thing is for sure. My pumping machine consumes more. As regards the conversion. I only trust wat my BMS reads. I currently av my freezer on with 2 phones plugged in. My freezer is 110w type. My BMS read 125w power draw. I switch off my panels so I could get the accurate reading.

TechGeek777:


How long have you been using this inverter and what is the warranty? I saw online that Crown Micro Ricco RIS 2.4KVA is 1440W(i.e 60% capacity 2400kva * 0.6 Efficiency= 1440W ).

Could it be the reason your 0.75hp(0.55KW) pump was showing 53% usage?

I like the idle consumption of it and the surge rating for the 3.5kva, but don't know if it can carry 1.5hp pump.

If u sabi any authorized dealers kindly drop contact. Copy of luminous dey market too

Peterlove11:


Tubular batteries are good, mine will be 4 years of usage soon. And they are still running like when I installed them. Get original luminous tubular battery. It's good quality and will serve you along while. I don't have trust in AGM or gel batteries due to experience of people around me, you are lucky to get 3 years out of them except you are meticulous in managing them

I use crown Ricco inverter n it handles heavy load 5n. Fan doesn't kick in until u av up to 50% load on it plus d fan is not loud, the transfer inside is toroidal. The 2.5kva variant is around 130/140k 3.5kva is 170k. The surge rating is 3x the actual inverter rating. It has MCB built on the AC input n output. The idle power consumption is less than 30w.. 26-28w thereabout. It has 30a AC charger as well. I don't use the AC charge so I don't no aw good that part of the inverter is. Aside that, every other thing is ok.

Sunnystooth:


Please I still need more recommendations with this.

Thanks.
