dryakson:
Alright. Can you please recommend the type of set I should do that will fall under that 1m?
555w jinko panel from Fouani * 2 =
12v 2kva 230-260k (cworth/SMS)
12V 100AH LFP * 2 from cworth (less than 400k)
Or 12v 3.5kwh LFP 450k (if he doesn't mind wooden box)
PV cables, 2.5mm corper cables , breakers (if he isn't buying the premium brands) will cost him about 120 - 140k

While it is possible to get a workable system with your budget, you will most likely have to dispose some of them when you want to upgrade.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 8:44am On Mar 09, 2025
Dam5reey1 did a review on it, it's on his YouTube page
androsurf:
Thank you so much for this insight, really appreciate it. Sorry to bother you further, Is the Cworth batteries coupled with bms already? I would prefer a coupled lifepo4 ready to use battery for him as he's not a DIY person.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 7:12am On Mar 09, 2025
It should
555w panel * 3 = 375k
12v 2kva 230-260k (cworth/SMS)
12V 100AH LFP * 2 from cworth (less than 400k)
Or 12v 3.5kwh LFP 450k (if he doesn't mind wooden box)
PV cables, 2.5mm corper cables , breakers (if he isn't buying the premium brands) will cost him about 120 - 140k


androsurf:
I have a neighbour who is interested in solar because he saw how reliable my own system is, problem is that he has a lean budget (1.1m). @valto and other gurus in the house, can his budget setup a reliable 12v system with a lifepo4 battery+hybrid inverter+reasonably sized solar panels?

What would you recommend? My setup is a 24v system, and he can't afford that. Thank you

omotoda:
What 24v configuration is available? Your price sure makes sense!
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 7:29pm On Mar 08, 2025
12v 3.5kwh available at 450k
Made with JK 100a smart BMS
Hithium and REPT variants are available.
Meklex:
Where can I buy long lasting 12v 150ah or 200ah lifepo4 battery?
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 12:40pm On Mar 04, 2025
maklelemakukula:
thanks.
This one has min order of 50 pieces.
Do you have any link of one that comes with busbar, bms etc. Those are the one's I saw for 300+ usd
She was willing to sell 5. Order is customisable but I prefer to buy just the box since I already have BMS and other acceossires

How does me agreeing that cells are getting cheaper equate to me watering others down?
And where did I refuse to sell when I have posted cells for sale here a few times?
dollarnaira:
Not for personal use but commercial.


But you refuse to sell but desire to water others down. I know your type.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 9:48am On Mar 04, 2025
😁


dollarnaira:
I order things from AliExpress but I don't have the capacity to order cells.

Do you have the fund to oder cells?

Try order just 1 piece of 50ah into Nigeria.

Get the point bro, to ship in cells is very very hard. You must have millions..

Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 9:16am On Mar 04, 2025
How do you think people pay for things from China?
This is something many here do regularly
dollarnaira:
How many of you mentioning USD as if it is Alaba Lagos in naira can order these to your door step from China? You think say na beans?
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 8:29am On Mar 04, 2025
It is possible to make 2 5kwh for circa 300k though.
100ah cells of many grade A cells are around 20USD
There is even a brand ANC that sells brand new 100ah for 17 USD (though this price was without m6 stud)
JK Smart BMS 4-8s 200A with 1A is around 33USD too.
Do the rough calculation and you will see that you can make a good 2.5kwh pack for 300k

dollarnaira:
grin grin grin grin grin
You funny sha.
So you no longer bother about the cells used.
Who doesn't like cheap things? But a 2.5kwh for 375k that is supposed to worth say close to 550k? You cannot eat your cake and have it. You even said you don't care about the bms used that it depends on your output load. Wow!!! Congratulations ooo. Now Cworth is a DIY hmmm.

How did we get to this stage in the first place?
Back to your question, if a branded company in China can build 2.3kwh for 375k automatically I can build 4kwh for just 300k since the type of cell used doesn't matter. My joy and confidence is that you won't be bold enough to open it and complain. grin grin grin.

Cworth, Felicity etc are all DIYs right?
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 8:17am On Mar 04, 2025
May be you are not looking in the right place.

For 24v 280ah, there is an alibaba seller selling for 40USD and it's a detachable box (this saves you more money on shipping)
He sells the 48v for around 60USD

Your other option is to try local fabricators but they mostly struggle with finishing (talking from experience).
maklelemakukula:
Why tf are the DIY boxes for Lifepo4 batteries so expensive. Any alternatives available locally ?
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 7:20pm On Mar 02, 2025
Dam5reey1:
Here is Store I order my Cells from No even Deriy!

I have the Test reports and all, Grade A cells is not that expensive.

@clevermumu
I know this store.
They are known for good grade cells and they also assemble battery packs

Did you use a busbar for the connection?
kristien4:
Please @all, i have a little problem with my battery. They are 2 pieces of 10kwh lifepo4 connected in parallel, when being used, they dont drain uniformly, one battery could be at 87% the other at 95% . Is this normal?
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 9:47pm On Jan 31, 2025
It will help if you also stop being defensive. The group is still a DIY group and learning place for many
brightk:
checkout the meaning of constructive journalism and u will understand my point of view. Did he care to explain the root cause of the issue and proffer solutions to it? SOC drift is not a new thing in the batteey industry. It even happens to professionally coupled packs. His post portrays the view of a bad pack from the seller
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 12:43pm On Jan 26, 2025
I think you have made some mistakes.

First of all, 60a CC is not adequate for 615w x 4 panels. Secondly, even if yiu were to have the adequate CC ratings, the charge ratings will be too high for 2 tubular batteries.

You need to replan
Compliant:
Greetings

Please I need the help of everyone
Just yesterday I bought 4 pieces of jinko 615kw from fouani

It was installed on 5kva felicity inverter, 2 pieces of 220ah battery and 60ah felicity charge controller

The image below is what my charge controller is showing this afternoon, is this normal or is the connection wrong?
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 11:24am On Jan 26, 2025
The major downside of this range is that one needs more panels to get it to start charging optimally.
Dam5reey1:
120-450V good sign..
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 7:46am On Jan 26, 2025
Easy bro
ask4bk:
Dam5reey1 no fit call Mr. Valtz name though I know na him him wan discredit. He knows he's the most trusted LFP guy in this forum. Nobody can assemble best quality LFP like him since his batteries are even better than big brands over years.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 9:59am On Jan 25, 2025
I discussed this with you some months back.
I think this problem is common with 3kva HF inverter with 30-400vdc input and not just Sako.
For me, earthing was only able to minimise the effect.
Dam5reey1:
The Earthing thing was my conclusion.

but since my last comment about MPPT efficiency, I got some responses that assumed i was making things up, hence I didn't respond to the interference issue.

This plague applies to those 30V - 400V MPPT as it only happens when the Solar input is on.

No Earthing you are good 😊, But.....
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 9:45am On Jan 25, 2025
The cells are not of the best qualities and they also have varying internal resistance
Haykay2001:
This 1 to 4..
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 9:03am On Jan 25, 2025
It's sad that a relatively new brand is already misbehaving. To make matters worse, their distributors can be unnecessarily hostile to return/replacement.
jonescosmos:
Bro, toss this battery ASAP,

I had exactly the same issue with the same model of battery and SAKO 3kw 24V Inverter alongside 8pcs of 450W Jinko Panels, at nights the battery discharges like it's in a competition, The SAKO Inverter and Battery both refused to obey cut-off points and as such the battery discharges beyond DOD, I thought when day breaks and the sun comes up, the inverter will wake the battery up, but it didn't, client used GEN and NEPA to try to charge the battery, yet no power.

This horrible experience went on for days until I replaced the Inverter and Battery with Felicity IVEM 3KW and 5KWh Felicity Lithium Battery.
Now everything is up and running and the SAKO Battery and Inverter are both laying fallow in my garage.

Regrettably several other people have reported similar issues with SAKO products.

PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THESE 2 MODELS OF SAKO BATTERY & INVERTER
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 7:16pm On Jan 11, 2025
Can you please state the issues?

Edrizz:
I will rather advice him to stay away from Sako n embrace a different product entirely, have had too many issues with them of late that even their support couldn't proffer solution to

Good day.
Does anyone has any contact for importing LFP cells from china?
Search for forwarders on IG, Facebook and ask them individually if they ship battery. Shipping time is usually 50-70 days with most shipping companies

Series connection is your best option here. It will give the cc the required voltage to perform it's mppt function.

It's 49.82V and my state of residence is kaduna. Should i still go ahead and connect them in series?

what is the advantage of a series connection over a parallel?
