I have been using my 5kva hybrid inverter to cook, iron,pump since 2021. No issues. 5kva have enough headroom to power those loads talk more of an higher capacity inverter. Don't on all the loads at once. Whatever you do, do it at your own discretion....your inverter can power those loads easily.

What's your battery chemistry, specs and panels capacity.

I have 8 units of this Green Kapital 230ah batteries for sale.
Owner is relocating.
Batteries are about 2 years old. Only used for lighting points, Tvs and 1 deep freezer ( only during the day with panels charging)

Location: Abuja

Price: 90k each.

Call on 08112852620

Were they drained?

tsiriman:
I've been using normal pressing iron on my 5kW Deye for several months now, a pressing iron is a resistive load and I don't see any reason why an appropriately rated inverter should not comfortably carry it.

What's your battery chemistry, specs and panels capacity?

vta2008:
Good morning everyone

Abeg why is it that inverter installers always tell you not to use pressing irons? They never offer any meaningful explanation.

My inverter is a 5.5KVA with 4 batteries (12v 220AH)

Note: I've used a pressing iron and air fryer on the inverter without any issues but I sometimes wonder if I'm low key damaging the inverter.

Thanks

Damaging your batteries not your inverter, except you're using it during high yield solar period of the day.

3KW INVERTER SETUP + SOLAR

1. 3Kw 24volt Hybrid inverter = #240,000

2. 12v 200Ah battery 4pieces = #150,000 x 4 = #600,000

3. 270watts solar panels 9pieces = #55,000 x 9 = #495,000

4. Solar mounting rails on roof and its accessories = #36,000

5. DC & AC Cables = #85,000

6. AC & DC breaker, changeOver, trunking, AVS, breaker box, AC & DC Surge, PV combiner Box = #50,000

7. Logistics to site = #30,000 within Lagos

8. Installation = #60,000

TOTAL = #1,596,000 Is this not a outrageous quote? Please 🙏 help as this is the quote by my installer

This is quite cheap, and what is classified as a cheap install here.

The materials in this quote are the "WYSIWYG" grade

I knew you would bring it on here. I explained to you that the park no longer stays over there because of the road they are constructing at iyanoba, so they had to move to iyana paja ( according to my aboki that took the battery there), gave you price for the delivery which you said you can’t afford. Will I be the one to pay delivery fee for you all the time? How many times have you sent Growatt inverter to me from Abeokuta to fix it for you, which you and I know that their office is in Lekki. How much does dispatch charges to Lekki? It’s 12k. But I do collect 8k to and fro from you and add the balance cos you bought the inverters from me. Did I tell you all that? NO. The last inverter you sent to me for repair, you told me to help you wrap it and send back to Abeokuta for you, that you’ll send me money for carton, which I didn’t see carton to wrap it and I bought wrapping nylon of 4k and wrapped it so it doesn’t get scratched, You wanted to send me the money but I told you to forget about it. So many things I’ve done for you as a customer, but I don’t tell you. But because of what happened this morning, you ran here to type, just to spoil my name. Chief, dey check well o

You're simply just diverting from the main issue by bringing up history which you also profited from.

This particular case is simple. He required that you deliver the battery by a timeframe which you didn't meetup with (either your fault or not), yet you want him to suffer on two counts, his integrity because he couldn't deliver to the hospital which was a life threatening situation, you want him to lose funds after he has found an alternative.
You could've simply returned the battery back to the main seller you sourced it from or even try to pacify your customer and reach an agreement which wouldn't allow the matter come here but it looks like you don't always really seem to care about your end users, they must always take the fall, especially when money has changed hands.

Hello Juror,

See my present situation and initial plan.
At home right now I have 24# 350w solar panels all optimally placed on my car stand with right orientation during the house construction. 16# service the Nissan Leaf batteries while 8# service the BYD. On a good day they all float at just after midday.

What I'm thinking now is moving the 16 panels to instead service this EVE bank while the 8 goes for the Nissan Leaf. I have some 8 250w panels on the gen shed that I can incorporate into the BYD cells.

Now, since I really didn't consider how big these guys would turn out to be what do you think about this plan. Also, EVE masters in the house could please help chip in. Will these 16# be enough or I should just plan a whole new increased amount to still get same float around midday? I intend on connecting them through the Growatt inverter being advertised by @justcallmenuel with 100A solar charging when I have the funds to obtain it.

Contributions will be appreciated.

I think what you've planned to do is fine, though you really have to be sure that the 16 panels can float those EVE cells by midday though I'm a bit skeptical. It would help if we know the capacities of the trio, so we can make some assumptions based on how the Nissan leaf and BYD fairer earlier with the 16/8 setup.

Hollawayn05:
Greetings great minds
My 300watt x 2 panel usually gives 20 plus or minus amps when the sun is high, but as of 2 days ago it has been given me 7amps plus of minus, thiu the battery still charges well but I haven't been able to use some appliances at noon as I always do,

What could be the reason?
I just cleaned the panels now still same output

Where are the panels installed? Are they in series or parallel? MPPT or pwm ?

Disconnect them and test individually

edigodwin:
Good day fam, please I want to start a phone charging business with at least 100 chargers. Please I wa[color=#990000][/color]n to know what solar system will best suite this and the current price of every equipments, thanks

What's your budget?

essegis:
Yes oo.
Those guys are still going strong but this is a system upgrade. I will be moving those guys to handle the refrigerating systems (2 freezers, 1 fridge) now while these guys handle the house. The BYD from before too will now be fully dedicated to security lights alone (maybe afternoon pumping too sha).

That's nice. You'll really have no worries about power when you add these, but are you setting up a solar farm to charge them? Because I can only imagine how much solar input you'll need and the space.

essegis:
Selina came through for me.
Payment was made early January and they arrived early April. 3mths shipping and clearing duration then.
Well packaged for the long journey inside standard cartons. I don keep the cartons to use as separator when installation starts, top quali those cartons.
One of the things I didn't like with the purchase is the busbar came without insulation (usually its in their adverts). Just ordered shrink wraps now to use for that, extra monies.
For now batteries are undergoing top balancing. I see this my small charger using up to 2wks to gain full charge status.
Batteries arrived at 3.28v with a few dropping to 3.27v. They have been marked out for close observation.
Let's see where this new adventure will take us to. One China thing wey people never start to complain about.

@justcallmenuel, abeg this Growatt hybrid still dey available? Can you please paste the specs here. Thanks.

Didn't you have some cells recently? I think Nissan leaf or so? or was it someone else

bigrovar:
Tubular Battteries share the same age as AGM, it all depends on how you use them. I tend not to recommend tubular for home or solar use, if you can afford go for AGM. you can charge them faster and discharge them at a higher discharge rate, all this makes them ideal for home and solar application. Tubular have too many point of failures, for one the tubular we get here in Nigeria have electrolyte of douthful quality since the electrolyte are usually mixed and filled here in Nigeria, you can not be sure of the gravity of the mix ratio and the quality of water used.

Then they is the issue of long time idle state, over 3 months in a ship from India and another 2 to 3 months in the shop waiting to be sold. All this means when you get a tubular it is already suffering from partial state of discharge and have issues with sulphation. AGM is less susceptible to above listed problems. The problem with AGM is cost. Good AGM batteries cost close to Lithium.

Are you implying that longer storage period / idle state doesn't affect AGM ?

Peterlove11:
I will say it's ok....don't have a standalone mppt to compare. The peak harvest I got today is 1.79kw from a 2440w panels, I don't know if it could be better. The panels are 8 270w, I added 280w panel recently to make 9 panels configured at 3s3p

What is the inverter model ?

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.

Contact idyllic, they have an inverter with editable settings.

isangjohnson:
I'm yet to receive the lifepo4 cells ordered in November last year. They were to be used to test run the contract project.
My mind hasn't been resting since but I'm very happy that VALTO has stepped in to make sure I receive that good as soon as possible.
I really appreciate his efforts.

From Selina?
What has been responsible for the delay?

mctfopt:
That's true, I've had them repair a friend's inverter too free of charge. I was shocked, the friend only covered transportation cost of sending it to their office and back. They are trying.

If only their inverters would come with toroidal transformer, they'll be my best bet. I can't be doing "energy saving" and using an inverter that swallows up energy doing nothing.

Bb007:
Good day everyone, please I have a 5kva 48v inverter, with 4 12v 200ah dry cell batteries. I want to connect Panels to it, and I am currently on a budget. Please how many 400 watts panels do I need to charge the batteries full and power a 140w freezer in the daytime? Thank you

Is your inverter hybrid?
If Yes, What's the spec of it's solar controller?

What other loads are being powered with the freezer?
What's your night time load?
Do you use grid supply?

Obnoxious2001:
Do you have contact or anyone I can reach out

Search for them via Google or even on IG

oloet:
Let me use our local parlance, it is inec blue battery, two of it connected in parallel, it is rated at 480wh, I don't have the picture right now

Ok... do they still sell them anywhere?

oloet:
The charger doesn't have an adjustable voltage function, I have been using it like that for 4-5 years now though the lifepo4 are cylindrical in nature

Can you please share a picture of the cells and what's their Ah rating?

contease:

Contact idyllic, they have a good inverter with very low idle consumption and also editable settings.

Dam5reey:
Contact?

.

I have these for sale:
Fangpusun 50D charge controller - 55k
Microtek 24V inverter - ups - 50k

drizzypat:
no that number was distributor of jinko in nigeria I think

Techland said they don't have

Maybe some misunderstanding or a new policy
but that's Techland's number.

Otunbahamzy:
It goes into a loop and won't stop until I remove the cable from the battery terminal. It just continue to go on/off till I remove the cable from the battery

Maybe just a bad switch?
Let's expect responses from current/former Axpert users

munchies:
Hello guys. Lovely job you all are doing from discussions to advise being dished out.
I need advice though.

I want installing solar to power a 3bedroom bungalow.

1 double door fridge
3 TVs ( all won't be on at same time)
Sound system
Energy saving bulbs.

How many KVA inveter will power this and what capacity of lithium battery and how many 350w of solar panels will be suitable?

Thanks in anticipation.

state the power rating of the sound system and how many units of energy saving bulbs and their Watts. Because it's possible people call white lights energy saving and go ahead to have like 50 of them in addition to those inside chandeliers.

ozone0801:
Is there any good alternative MPPT that's pocket friendly

Powmr, you get it from many sellers here.

mank1234:
She said 2 to 3 months. That means early March to April, if there's no delay.

Has anyone shipped cells via nonikings before? Care to share your experience?

ozone0801:
Good day my Ogas,
Is yohako CC a good product to buy?
I saw the 60A for 68k
And the 100A for 130k

Personally, I don't know. Though someone here once said it's a glorified PWM and the comment was countered by another person that said there are fake/imitation of yohako products.

Otunbahamzy:
Good evening bosses, I have an axpert hybrid inverter. It doesn't go off. If I switch it off from the button, it will just continue to restart. I tend to put it off by removing the negative cable from the battery. Kindly assist with troubleshooting guide. Or if there is any repairer in sagamu or Abeokuta

What do you mean by "continue to restart" ?, does it go into a loop or it just continues it's operation without switching off ?

nnadychuks:
sorry I’m just getting back, I was trying to study the configuration.
It’s an AC connection, 2.4kw inverter with 2 220ah batteries and 8 big panels.
Heavy appliances like pumping machine and water heater have been disconnected from the inverter. The highest load is ps4 slim and tv rounding up at 200W…
There are 4 ceiling fans which are simultaneously running and we never power fridge with the inverter.

It could've been better if you knew the rating of the panels 8 big panels may not really tell us much.
Can you post a picture of the setup?

I presume the ceiling fans in use are the usual AC ones? Not DC ceiling fans?
The AC ceiling fans consume as much as 60W if not more, multiply that by four, then add lightings, then the TV & PS4 slim, you may be heading towards 600W or more. If these loads are used mainly during the day, there may not be an issue but if they're still same or slightly reduced during sun down and through the night then the batteries may be insufficient to run them. This is assuming that the batteries are well charged by your 8 big panels, it is still necessary to know if your panels are generating sufficient power to charge your batteries and run your loads in daytime.

IyaTola:
I want Canadian panel and lithium batteries

You're courting millions, it's now a matter of how many.
What appliances do you want to power?
