86-90% of rated capacity.
Considering it's price, it's a good deal
Brand new 12v 280ah pack will perform better than this though.

You mistaken. If only you could calm down and use the internet intelligently, you would confirm what I say.

Anyway sha, I am neither here to show Off, or act ITK.

The thread is mostly for adverts, sprinkled with a few DIY like talks hence no need me stressing ma sef.

There are inverters with dual voltages but the tech is still not mainstream.

AndroBlaze:
Please share examples as I've also been looking for this kind of inverter for years.

To make it clear, what I am seeing from your posts suggests that their are inverters that can support different voltages of batteries at the same time i.e. 12v battery and 24v battery supported by the same inverter?

Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 10:47am On Apr 26, 2025
You are trying to understand individuals with obvious agenda.
HeavenlyBang:
Instead of doing "you can", how about you actually say how it can be done.

Na person carry the Deriy batteries come here, since then e just be like say e dey vex some people.

If you have an update on how to make solar cheaper for people, then share and quit meaningless tirades. I no dey understand this thread sometimes.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 10:31pm On Apr 22, 2025
Which one are we even producing among the Renewable Energy components?
Cells? BMS, CC, Panels?
Local fabricators can't even make decent casings for battery pack.

dollarnaira:
Gradually we are marketing products we don't produce. Giving free adverts to companies that don't even know us personally.

They are like football club fans that know all about players lives but refused to be known. Real fans are at the stadium watching life matches.

No carry people product for head like gala. There are several products working better than popular ones.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 8:19am On Apr 22, 2025
The voltage of the configuration does not matter as long as yo uare within the voltage range of the CC. Don't get it mixed up
bbally:
Bro, don't play dangerous game with your cc. Things are costly this days. Most 12v configuration should not even pass 70v to give room for open circuit voltage rise.
Study your gadgets specs very before any connections.
My 2kobo sense
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 10:45am On Apr 20, 2025
He is either lying or he doesn't have enough info about the battery pack. I once posted the spec sheet here, the recommended charge current for Haisic is less than 0.15c. That should tell you all you need to know

Dabss:

Guys i found these guys on TikTok. They claim their batteries are grade A and their prices are very good.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 10:30am On Apr 19, 2025
I only quoted 70,actual price is less than that.
0813. 119. 9386.
Trippledots:
This is exactly the route I'm taking and it's very cost effective. Abeg where you see that BMS for $70, because Kayla is giving me for over $100 o. Drop your Whatsapp contact let's talk if you don't mind.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 10:10am On Apr 19, 2025
Dami did capacity test but he faced many resistance when he posted the result here and on the telegram group.

Waiting time is the only disadvantage for Deriy packs and some have also been lucky to get it under a month.


From all the major suppliers, brand new hithium 314ah with 1c ratings currently cost 39-40USD,shippong to GuangZhou additional 20USD.
Even eve 280k v3 cost is around 40USD/cell
The cost of shipping 16 cells to Lagos <= 200k
200A terminal <= 16k
Jk200a BMS with 2a <= 70USD
4. inches display 20USD
3.2 Inches 9USD


Without casing, the total cost is circa 1.5m.

You see, even Deriy makes reasonable profit for selling in that range.






CuteMaro:
I think he is talking about it from a 'Better deal' perspective factoring in the price difference, wait time and uncertainties around logistics (according to his opinion).

I tried to search for Valto's packs capacity testing or tear down but so far there is none.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 8:19am On Apr 19, 2025
You probably have something against Deriy. Deriy makes pack with most of the popular cells and they are all brand new. Many have been able to pull full capacity from it too (3.5v - 3.0v).
As for Hithium cells, they are specifically built for Ess and they also quote longer life cycle for their cells.
clevermugu:
investing 1.8m or 1.9m for a Hithuim 48v pack to a Chinese in far away China and waiting for 3months,doesn't make any sense. what if there is serious shipping delays or something happens kiss
getting Valto's Eve 48v pack for 2.2m within 24hrs of payment is far far better.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 6:26am On Apr 18, 2025
10-12kva inverter x2 in parallel
20kwp panel facing the south
30kwh battery.

I think It is also better to switch on the pumps one after the other too.

Emmalex83:
Thanks Boss. They have all this things in place is just something that will help them reduce the Nepa Bill.
What i needed is a breakdown of numbers of Solar panels, Battery capacity and Inverter capacity that can power the 12HP pumping Machine. Mostly during the day. Thanks in anticipation
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 12:39pm On Apr 14, 2025
I honestly can't remember
Drgreatone:
What VOC were u getting with the initial 4 panels? I usually try to get around 150v and it works well for me
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 8:52pm On Apr 13, 2025
I have seen it many times. Sako 5.5kva, I used Jinko 450w x4 and the yield was below 10% till I added 2 more panels.
HeavenlyBang:
That wouldn't limit his output to 500w, though. Don't think I've seen an MPPT that requires higher than 120v startup, which his panels supply.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 8:26pm On Apr 13, 2025
If the cc in that inverter is >=100a, the problem is insufficient voltage. You need to add more panels to move closer to the mppt range
lagbaja:
Guys, I installed 3 units of 48v ( Max) 600watts Africell solar panels connected in series on a 3.5KVA Wellion Hybrid inverter. The display on the inverter shows an open circuit voltage of 132V and the highest power output I have gotten is 500watts even when the sun is brightest. What could be wrong ?
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 8:33pm On Apr 12, 2025
It's in the market and some sellers list it here too. DYOR before picking a brand
cutefy:
Okay thanks for ur response.
How can I upgrade to 80A. The only size I see around here is 60A..
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 8:31pm On Apr 12, 2025
I am waiting for Dami to buy one for science 😁
Drgreatone:
You the second person mentioning this battery brand, how well do they perform?
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 7:13pm On Apr 12, 2025
80a and the market price of this will almost get you a 12v 2kva transformerless inverter with 80a mppt.

cutefy:
Good day everyone...

Pls what size of MPPT Charge controller can I use for a two 590W panel, 3000W inverter, and a 12V 100ah battery setup?

Initially I was planning to use a 30A Felicity MPPT charge controller but I was told it will be too small for the two 590W.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 11:27am On Apr 11, 2025
For ecoflow, Google query will return a more robust feedback for you.
Meanwhile, you have asked a similar question here before and you have been extensively lectured about what determine charge and discharge rate.
Mavor:
Hi everyone. Please I need constructive feedback on the Ecoflow product, specifically the one in the image below. Does anyone have experience using Ecoflow and is it a good investment? Specifically, the charge time and the backup discharge time. The Delta Pro is 3.6kwh. My apartment load are 2 standing fans, 1 fridge, 1 flat TV, 2 laptops, 1 water dispenser and 2 gaming consoles (PS5 & Series X). I can afford to not connect the water dispenser and the fridge. Also, I want to buy 2 of the solar panels. Thank you in advance for your feedback.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 12:00pm On Apr 10, 2025

Thanks for the thought, my price is still the same but I am out of stock till early next month.

Is he not better with your own 25.6v 7kw Grade A cell for 840k if he doesn't mind wooden box?Abi has your price change ni?
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 8:29am On Apr 10, 2025
If you can afford to spend the total here, here is a better option
There is a brand "Haisic" that sells
25.6v 8kwh for 800k (as contained in their spec sheet, it's a Grade B battery)
24v 4kva transformerless inverter 340-350k
590w Jinko panel x4 is better
6mm cable, breakers, SPD and the box will cost you less than 160k if you are staying in a bungalow and will be installing the system close to your DB

Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 8:49am On Mar 24, 2025
Many will also argue that they have seen more damaged Indian inverters.
Since the felicity 5kva price is very close to the growatt, Growatt is a better option here. You only have to tell your installer to reconnect your panels to series
Saheed69:
I was already using Kartel 5kva inverter but it got spoiled, so I want to change it. I was told Felicity are china product, so they are not as strong as Su-kam which are Indian products. (I also read that Su-kam work load is higher than Felicity)

I'm currently using
380watts 10panel
4 tubular battery
Felicity 100amps

It's the Kartel inverter that spoiled and I want to change it.

I will just go ahead and buy the Felicity 5kva 48v inverter Non hybrid base on your recommendation.

Thanks
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 5:35am On Mar 23, 2025
I am guessing they already did energy audit before settling for a 5kva inverter. If no, the first thing is to do proper energy audit.


The next thing is to avoid that installer.

meohio7777:
Greetings everyone,

I've quietly followed these threads and thank the knowledgeable contributors for their valuable insights.

I am researching on behalf of my dad, who plans to switch to solar power for his home. He recently received a vague quote that is missing several key details.

I have encountered reputable brands such as Growatt, SRNE, and Victron and would like to choose a quality brand that will stand the test of time for this project.

I am also open to connecting with someone trustworthy and genuinely interested in managing and executing this installation.

Kindly post your contribution here. I have attached the quote for everyone's review.

The location is Epe, Lagos.

Here is a list of appliances that need to be powered:
1. Fridge and freezer (1 unit)
2. Freezers (3 units)
3. Borehole pump (1)
4. Room fans (4)
5. Parlor fans (2)
6. Dining room fan (1)
7. Children's parlor fan (1)
8. Televisions (2)
9. Washing machine (1)
10. Water heater (1)
11. Game console (1)
12. Numerous light bulbs 💡

Additionally, we plan to purchase four solar light poles for the front and back of the house.

Thank you for your assistance!

💯
In addition, these are most likely the earlier generations of life po4 cells with shorter life span and higher IR.
Why would anyone want to buy a used battery for that amount when they can just add 100-150k for a newer pack with longer life span.
GloryJoyeux:
From 850k to 750k.

Unfortunately you will keep reducing the price because lifepo4 batteries do not have resale value.

If a lithium battery is on resale hardly will it be because of a good reason (like former owner relocating abroad) most times it because it has been used satisfactorily by the owner and has most likely even faded to a lower ah.

Did the power situation in Nigeria improve all of a sudden that someone will want to sell his/her lithium battery.

Looking at the batteries if I were to guess, (I maybe wrong) these were previously used by a telecommunications company maybe for mast power backup, in whatever case, they were heavily used by a company.

Huawei lifepo4 are also not diy friendly, so I suggest you recycle those batteries and not market what a buyer will most likely regret.

If you want to actually sell that, buy a junktek or victron shunt and do a capacity test. Then actually show us the capacity test results. That way any buyer can be well informed of what he/she will be getting.

Anything outside that suggestion please go and recycle that battery.
