I guess your battery bank is up to 28,600kwh.....
What type of inverter are you using, is it hybrid?
What type of pv?
This is the time to know the drawing/sucking capacity of various tier 1 and 2 panels.
This is the time to know also how good our charge controllers are. They are some that will not wake up early no matter how we configure our pv. There are some that will wake up very early and sleep late.
Again, some people will still appreciate the low idle power consumption of their inverters this season.
The key word here is "management"

Battery bank: 460AH
INVERTER/CC: Growatt es5000
PV: 9, 450w (Original) ERA panels and 5, 450w (fake) Canadian Solar panels. 2p7s.

The inverter low state consumption is about 70w

Lithium battery is really good for those that are staying in the southern Nigeria.
You hardly see this kind of weather in the northern part of Nigeria.

I totally agree with the quote, the highest SOC since beginning of July to date is 60% and that occurred once this month even with a 6300w pv.

With a terrible power generation this month am still rocking 100% off grid with no downtime but with a serious energy management .

My current DOD (8%) now will be fantasy to PB users while truest to lifepo4 shine without breaking a sweat. My DOD and SOC this month fluctuates between 5% to 40% and this will probably be bad for PB batteries.

Attached also is today's forecast which is terrible for my current DOD😭 how do I navigate through this🤦🏾‍♂️

Worst solar day, and yet pumping water for the tenants

Raining all day with dark clouds

Bought cells from China, shipping and all other logistics to my dinner handled expediently by @Zeestone99.

ATD 2months.

viperVIP:
@Justice629 I'm glad you could confirm that as well.
@coldcandy would you just leave an inverter in on position for 12hours when nobody needs power from it, I mean for no good reason, you just want to waste idle energy for 12hours ?
@Dam5reey Ofcourse to save energy, who goes green with the aim of wasting energy? If you switch off the output breaker, you have idle energy consumption wasting away, which isn't a smart thing to do.

The bms could also disable discharge during LVD and it's expected for the inverter to turn on when pv is available to recharge the batteries

viperVIP:
DON'T BUY GROWATT SPF 5000 ES WITHOUT READING THIS.

I experienced same issue when I newly installed the inverter 2yrs ago, pv wouldn't power the loads without batteries or grid connected, nor power on the inverter when it's off due to LVD. I concluded it was a Chinese dubious advertising of over stating features while under delivery.
Besides that issue the inverter has served me reliably for 2yrs now running 24/7 without issue.
Imported 3 more to install in my office and now hoping the pv batteryless features will be functional😁 now that I know better.

FEGEITOK:
Here is the calculation:

Total capacity of batteries = 4800 Wh
Power of solar panels = 2500 watts
Charging time = Total capacity / Power of solar panels = 4800 Wh / 2500 watts = 1.92 hours = 2 hours

If batteries are Lead acid with %100 dod, you will have a battery vendor on speed dial and your solar charging is based on a perfect STC which can be misleading

How long till delivery after payment for Chi brand Isa Brown Pullets

What's your delivery time after payment for Isa brown pullets

brightk:
Btw jinko and Canadian panels which is better.. Apart from gennex, any reliable seller for original canadian panels

This ? has @bigbrovar written on it

Drgreatone:
Can u snap and show this here pls

Why?

zeestone99:
U need a current limiter and properly sized ac breaker to prevent overload.

Around 18k will sort it for you including enclosure.

Call/chat - 08117398294

I have both installed

dacool1:
Can inverters be run 24/7 without shortening it's life span. Please note I'm not talking about the batteries but the inverter itself.

Inverters can't be exempted from the effects of time. My growatt spf 5000es is 1year 6months today without any issue from constant 24/7 use and periodic abuse of OL

On boy, they are empty o and already costing over $600 just for case only.E b like say I go pass.[/quote]Na why I no look that side

ojesymsym:
What kind of enclosure did you guys also get?
Do they have the wall hung ones, like the one Fidelity uses?

I don't know what keyword to use to search for that type of battery enclosure, I am not getting the required results. The one one seller showed me of iron.

I didn’t get enclosures, I stacked mine in a battery rack.
If the attached pix is what you are looking for, it's also called power wall

ojesymsym:
Selina again?
Did you still buy from her on this order?

I bought from Docan and i got my refund via paypal for the Selina transaction

ojesymsym:
What reliable shipper to ship lithium from China?

I have 45cells on transit via Zeestone99 shipping connect, employed his services after having a terrible experience with Selina shipping bruhaha.

Lovilla:
all i can say is Men are polygamous in nature, so i dont blame him.

Bcause this maid in question doesnt even come close to my sister in terms of beauty.

This is where females get it wrong always, men don't care about physical beauty but the ability to make the home beautiful and conducive for the man.

viperVIP:
Brand not stated.

9 Era 450watts and 5 nameplate Canadian 450watts

[quote author=viperVIP post=121914390]What's the size of your array?
Brand of panels


6300w

We back to season of bountiful harvest

swaey:
Can anyone vouch for justcallmenuel’s credibility ..trying to get lithium batteries from him but I’m not in Lagos .

Bought 14 450watts Solar panels from him and he delivered them to my location without hitch.

isangjohnson:
I tested 1600w qasa electric kettle today with nepa light. Though I didn't check the litre but the water was boiled at exactly 8 minutes.
I want to buy and be using it for day and night on solar.
Does anyone know another product with lower watt?
Night consumption is my little concern, though my battery bank is sufficient for such load.

intermittent use of high draw loads shouldn't be an issue if the battery sizing was done right.
