Bro, get SMS it's cheaper and better IMO.

SMS Now have four Chinese repairers in Alaba, according post I sae yesterday from their official Facebook page.

Nominal Voltage Range: 240v(for 12v/24v/48v)

12v PV Voltage Range: 30v - 400v(same as max voc)

24v PV Voltage Range: 60v - 450v
48v PV Voltage Range: 60v - 450v

Max Voc(500vdc) for 24v & 48 respectively

Ok. Any idea the cost of 3.6kva 24v?

Dam5reey:


Anern, SAKO, SMS and the like have those inverters

Sako is 120-450V

Dam5reey:


Anern, SAKO, SMS and the like have those inverters

Lemme check em out. Thanks

Dam5reey:


This model required 120V... If he adds one more 545W it will work fine.

the 30-400V type works with 1Panel..

Which of these inverter has 30-400v MPPT?

Good morning my people. After I came back from post office yesterday and I realized it's almost impossible to send the goods back from your contributions, I went to message the seller that the shipping fees is #60,000 which is equivalent to $42 and I asked if I should proceed with the shipping (you remember I stated it earlier that AliExpress ruled that the seller will pay the shipping fee?). The goods is $31 while the shipping fee I told the seller is $42, so, I think it's almost impossible for the seller to tell me to proceed with the shipping when the shipping fee is cost more than the actual goods. So, this morning I woke up to a good news, the seller told me to keep the goods and the money will be refunded and now, the refund is in process.

I really appreciate you guys for your contributions, Thank you, God bless you.

Congratulations, always ask for refund. Nigeria is designed not to work for hustlers. So export is so hard to do here.

tag me pls when you have a solution.

No problem.

To those running solar, I'm just curious. When last did you use your generator? Did you have to sell it after installing your solar?

I hate generator. Been running on solar since 2014. It was my hate for generator that made RE very attractive to me. I never seem to get the hang of fixing a generator. I also hate the way it disappoints you when you least expect it.

Valto:
nice idea, though it will cheaper for me to get a spare battery.

The idea of it is to maintain the speed I stepped out of the house with. Due to size, weight, and cost, unless you asked for it to be customised; most ebike batteries are Lion.

scottsland:
Is it not more feasible to convert used Nigerian bikes to electric.
The DIY Way.

Is the cost way more than buying Tokunbo bikes?

China sells conversion kits. But you've got to be a hardcore ebike enthusiast to do one.

kristien4:
what do u do with ur ebikes, just drive around the street?

One to running around local errands. The other two for workout. Even if you are tired, going out with an ebike is a joy.

Valto:
u should start from electric bike na just like i did. i have a hummer type electric bike , with 48v 17.5ah lithuim battery, 60km/hr speed

Glad you later got one. This thing is a joy. Upgraded my battery to LiFePo4. No more drop in speed as experienced with Lion when the battery is getting low.

isangjohnson:

This mini bus is very good for business/commercial purpose.
Please, update me when the price reduce to about $2000.

Get an ebike. A good Enduro ebike is around that price. Can do 120km/hr but be on the lookout for the average Nigerian road user who suddenly crosses the road using only their ears to gauge if a vehicle is coming

Hybrid600:
This car no go wave go one side after Dangote truck speed pass am? 😁

Are there even charging stations for EV cars in 9ja Or na use of PV and NEPA?

I charge my 3 ebikes at home. Anyone who buys one will also charge at home.

this is the one door version, enviable transport launched the two door version as a taxi in abuja..but i never see even one for road.

I wanted to import some of this stuff but ended up buying an electric bike. Electric bike is the closest to this

Akanoaaa:


Omoh... Have made a terrible mistake. The goods is just $31 and I was offered to receive $19 and still keep the goods or return it and get full refund. But the seller will pay the shipping fee. I get to Nipost now, and I was told China is not going through.

You should've taken the $19. If you try FedEx or DHL be ready to cough out at least 50k or so for that movement

Parser:


11A panel cannot give u 11A consider losses. Just do the two parallel end up getting near 18 to 19A. U guys that are doing this high voltage series should give us feedback with inductive loads...how many Ac's were they able to power without battery during the day with 11 to 13A PV or more.

I've done this before and it ended in tears. I did parallel Longi 450W with 11.60A Isc. The Growatt will be working fine until sun hits it's peak and it sees 22A and then enters into error mode and shut down after 3 minutes or so

Good morning my people. Please how does someone go about running returning goods to AliExpress? Already filled the dispute and the shipping address has been provided. I called speeddaf and they said they do not return goods.

Try NIPOST's EMS.

If the goods is not worth at least $80, returning it may not profitable to you as cost of shipping things outta Naija is super expensive

mercedes EQS SUV...fully electric and a full charge should drive you abuja to JOS without recharging with AC turned on....410 million naira

I like the range of 315 miles or 506km.


Massive battery 100kwh+

Mercedes dey try. Car is around $100k to $125k in the USA. I guess exchange rate, duty and shipping cost is to blame for that ₦410m tag in Naija.


Let them ship in Xiaomi SU7 EV. At least boys can afford that one.

Yes, bitnob.

Trippledots:


You sure you are actually reading the recommendations and advices given?? Calm down and read them o

I'm reading it. What did I miss?

QuoteJust1nce:


Me think you're expecting too much from a 5kW / 450V input inverter that can do 580 * 9 at NOCT which gives around 5200+ out of 6000 available. If you're scared of NOCT, then STC can do 440 * 11 which give nearly 4900; using Jinko Panels as a case study.
If it doesn't satisfy your needs, then upgrade to the SPH variant that offers ISC 33.8A, IMP 27A, 550V input accomodating between 6500 to 10600 Wp panels offering the same smart load functionality as the Deye. The 5kW version costs 1.3m and call it a day!

Already bought the Growatt. Thanks for your input.

Ferdiwar:
You can get Jinko or Longi 450w to 475w and do 12 or 14 (6s2p or 7s2p)

Those two panels you mentioned have Isc of more than 11A each which will exceed the yeye 5000ES Growatt's maximum PV input current of 22A

Oshomo12:


In the manual, did they work with lower capacity panels?

I don't want to assume they never intended you getting near that 6000w in the first instance.

They just stated the maximum PV wattage is 6000w, how you get to that is ok if you don't exceed their PV input current

Ferdiwar:
What's the max pv power and VOC of the inverter?

MPPT range is 120-430v

Maximum PV wattage = 6000w

Maximum PV input current = 22A

DaniellaDokubo:


From experience your panels wont get you much of what is on the name plate wattage. I use imported premium panels and my data logger has showed the panels could get only a paltry 60% of its designed capacity. This is after observing the production for a period of time on daily basis.

Way forward is to oversize your PV system but not the Voc as that is the only thing that is always higher than the name plate value when it is in use. Don't waste your money on any premium anything.

Sorry, I guess you don't understand my predicament. I wanted to put as much PV as I can possibly can on one Growatt

jonescosmos:


What should be of concern to you is the system voltage. JUST DON'T EXCEED YOUR SYSTEM MAX VOLATGE Your System can only draw a max of 10A even if you a have 15A total panel assembly but make sure your MPPT Max Voltage at STC is not exceeded.

Eg.
Say you have 450W 12A @ 37.5V Panels
And your MPPT spec says: 450V @ 10A,
It's very safe to have 10 of this panel in series which will give 375V @ 12A STC,
So your MPPT will draw it's 10A complete and the excess will not be of any harm to it.


But in all this, NOTC will reduce these readings for you. At least in Nigeria anyway.

I understand all these, the plan is to put as much PV panels as I can per growatt. I'm sort of annoyed I can only do less than 5kw when said inverter can do 6kw.

Growatt has a maximum PV input current of 22A. I'm unhappy I can't run parallel as most panels above 400w has Isc more than 11A making parallel impossible. The other alternative is to get lower capacity PVs, the space is very limited.

HeavenlyBang:




If you absolutely need to get 6000w, then you just need to oversize your panels as much as you can while staying within the VOC limit of your inverter.



Pretty much all the Jinko panels will serve you. 580W panel has about a max amperage of 13A.

The max you can get out of this 580w is 8 in series which is still 4640. Still far from 6000w. I want to go near to 6000w without need for an external charger controller.

HeavenlyBang:


Just connect in series...

Also, unlike voltage, current needs to be drawn. Even if your setup is supplying 25A isc, your Growatt will only pull the 22A it's limited to. You still lose some power but not much, since it's not like you'll be getting isc anywhere near regularly.

My SRNE has a max input of 13A but a 500v VOC, so I just ran my PVs in series.

Yeah, but I want to get close to that 6000w PV capacity. The best I could do is roughly 4500w.

HeavenlyBang:


Doubt you'll see. Even Longi 350w panels are 11A. Same as Jinko 440W.

Dang. I'm trying to see how I can wiggle my way out of Growatt's ES5000 22A maximum input current.
